GWD-9-Q33:

The author of the passage would be most likely to agree that the “caution” (line 29) urged

by de Ricqlès regarding claims about dinosaur physiology was

A. unjustified by the evidence available to de Ricqlès

B. unnecessary, given the work done by Bakker and his followers

C. indicative of the prevailing scientific opinion at the time

D. warranted, given certain subsequent findings of other scientists

E. influential in the recent work of Chinsamy

这题的答案为什么是D呢？并没有warranted啊

This question remains

(60)  unanswered; indeed, taking all the evidence

into account, one cannot make

a definitive statement about dinosaur

physiology on the basis of dinosaur

bone. It may be that dinosaurs had an

(65) intermediate pattern of bone structure

because their physiology was neither

typically reptilian, mammalian, nor avian.

我选E。其实我自己觉得E也不是很好，只是不知道到底应该选哪个。

The passage suggests that downsizing's mythic properties can be beneficial to a downsizing firm because these properties

such signals
are received positively by key actors—
(35)  financial analysts, consultants,
shareholders—who supply firms with
vital organizing resources. Thus, even
if downsizers do not become economi-
cally more efficient, downsizing’s mythic
(40) properties give them added prestige
in the business community, enhancing
their survival prospects.

B. provide the firm with access to important organizing resources
