多谢牛牛。

还是想再问Q166

166. One function of the third paragraph of the passage is to

(A) state a conclusion about facts presented in an earlier paragraph

(B) introduce information that is contradicted by information in the fourth paragraph

(C) qualify the extent to which two previously mentioned groups might be similar

(D) show the chain of reasoning that led to the conclusions of a specific study

(E) demonstrate that, of three explanatory factors offered, two may be of equal significance

OG中的解释 The best answer is C. The third paragraph provides information contrasting naked mole rate societies with eusocial insect societies, whereas earlier in the passage, similarities between the two kinds of societies have been emphasized.

第三段不是在比较两者的差异吗？为何因此推断出第三段的function是qualify the extent to which two previously mentioned groups might be similar到底怎样看得出similarities between the two kinds of societies have been emphasized.

感谢

从line19-line24,文章给出了insect和rat社会的异同点，关于insect和rat的difference in behavior.而第2段第1句就说明了rat和insect的相同点。从作者在每一段的第1句就给出了2种生物的行为可以看出，作者主要在提出它们之间的异同点。给出不同是为了表现他们之间的相同度！！！

其实对C选项的正确理解也在考我们对句子重心的把握.

C选项的中心在于extent, 而不是similar. 句子的意思是: 第三段是对文章先前曾经提到过相似性对比组(的讨论)的延伸. (previously)

翻的不好,请见谅

偶是161错了，题目没有读懂。。。

161. The passage suggests that Jarvis’ work has called into question which of the following explanatory variables for naked mole rat behavior?

161. The passage suggests that Jarvis’ work has called into question which of the following explanatory variables for naked mole rat behavior?

红色部分是什么意思啊？谢谢。

in my opinion, here "call into question" means that Jarvis'work disproved that age is not related primarily to reproductive status

in my opinion, here "call into question" means that Jarvis'work disproved that age is not related primarily to reproductive status

" In naked mole rat societies, on the other hand,differences in behavior are related primarily to reproductive status,body size,and perhaps
        age."

reproductive status前文说过了

接下来讲body size 也影响到分工,smaller.....larger...

Jarvis also suggested that growth rates may influence the length of time that an individual performs a task.这样growth rates 也说到了

只有age悬而未决，除了最后有regardless of its age，原文中还有一个小小小小的“perhaps”来提示

所以在几个explanatory variables 解释变量中,只有AGE是call in to question.

不知道这样分析的对不对，妈妈呦，考试时就死定了
