Tiger beetles are such fast runners that they can capture virtually any nonflying insect. However, when running toward an insect, the beetles intermittently stop, and then, a moment later, resume their attack. Perhaps they cannot maintain their pace and must pause for a moment's rest; but an alternative hypothesis is that while running tiger beetles are unable to process the resulting rapidly changing visual information, and so quickly go blind and stop.

Which of the following, if discovered in experiments using
artificially moved prey insects, would support one of the two hypotheses and undermine the other?

一道PREP1-24, 答案与OG不统一

24.      

OG答案为B. ???

Tiger beetles are such fast runners that they can capture virtually any nonflying insect.  However, when running toward an insect, the beetles intermittently stop, and then, a moment later, resume their attack.  Perhaps they cannot maintain their pace and must pause for a moment's rest; but an alternative hypothesis is that while running tiger beetles are unable to process the resulting rapidly changing visual information, and so quickly go blind and stop.

 

Which of the following, if discovered in experiments using artificially moved prey insects, would support one of the two hypotheses and undermine the other?

错选E. 无关选项. 

(A) When a prey insect is moved directly toward a beetle that has been chasing it, the beetle immediately turns and runs away without its usual intermittent stopping.

(B) In pursuing a moving insect, the beetles usually respond immediately to changes in the insect's direction, and pause equally frequently whether the chase is up or down an incline.

(C) The beetles maintain a fixed time interval between pauses, although when an insect that had been stationary begins to flee, the beetle increases its speed after its next pause.

(D) If, when a beetle pauses, it has not gained on the insect it is pursuing, the beetle generally ends its pursuit.

(E) When an obstacle is suddenly introduced just in front of running beetles, the beetles sometimes stop immediately, but they never respond by running around the barrier. obstacle和题目无关.

PREP答案为: C. 

我原来选错了选了E, 后来看NN的解释说是B, 和OG11里的一样. 但是刚才看了PREP答案是C. 搞糊涂了, 请哪位NN帮忙解释...

大概OG 选项跟这里不一样,我记得OG 里正确选项应该是In pursuing a swerving insect...

这题是我做og cr 错的三道题之一,错题原因是当时不认识swerving,所以印象极深。

你再查查看。

我觉得就是选C,

B 选项反对了休息是因为视力不好,同时也反对了是因为体力不够,因为不管上坡下坡都休息一样的时间。

而只有C,反对了体力不够但是支持视力不好。

我觉得C也没有反对体力不好啊,因为没有说到飞了一段时间,而是fixed time interval between pauses

说明是固定的,和飞与不飞无关,也就是和体力无关

以下是引用wangwei8581在2007-7-27 22:58:00的发言:

正因为如此(fixed time),才说明不是体力的问题,而是习惯性的会pause! 所以support了体力(maintain).

支持C 
            increases its speed 消耗了更多的体力 ,但是fixed time interval between pauses

如果是因为体力不支而休息,interval就会短一点.所以和体力没有关系,并不是因为体力不支而休息.
