冒号表示前后句子意思一致。

前一句是说日常生活中的物品不再进入serious American art后一句是说艺术家们放弃了commonplace的事物Reticent 沉默的，有保留的，谨慎的选undermine的原因是因为前面substantial body of writing和后面reluctant to articulate issues, more artistic posturing相反Statuary 雕像的，雕像艺术的文章的意思是雕像采取这种姿势有两种可能的解释，一种是mirror actual social behavior,另一种是borrow from classical statuaty. 后面说这两种解释都不对，因为既没有解释source,又没有解释reason。

然后又说不知道为什么一定就采用这种姿势。

选项A说明了source, 是古代礼仪手册中说的选项B是文章中已经否定了的解释，所以不能选。

选项C是说明了reason. A gentleman considers what stance to adopt when his portrait is painted.Recently an unusual high number of dolphins have been found dead of infectious diseases, and most of these had abnormally high tissue concentrations on certain c0mp0unds that, even in low concentrations, reduce dolphins' resistance to infection. The only source of these c0mp0unds in the dolphins' environment is boat paint. Therefore, since dolphins rid their bodies of the c0mp0unds rapidly once exposure ceases, their mortality rate should decline rapidly if such boat paints are banned.Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument? A. The levels of the c0mp0unds typically used in boat paints today are lower than they were in boat paints manufactured a decade ago. B. In high concentrations, the c0mp0unds are toxic to many types of marine animals. C. The c0mp0unds breaks down into harmless substances after a few months of exposure to water or air.原因可能是如果the compounds break down into harmless substances after a few months of exposure to water or air. 那么就排除了是油漆直接在水中造成的影响，只有可能是船上涂了油漆，被海豚蹭上造成的。

Take issue 不同意，持异议Protagonist 主角Domestic 国内的，家庭的Promulgate 公布，传播，发表原文：That the envisioned “public” political ideal-passive obedience to the nation’s king- out to be mirrored in the private sphere, with family members wholly obedient to a male head of household. The structure of the private sphere should not replicate the hierachical order of the public sphere.没有太看懂意思。

但也应该能做题。

原文说Behn question Dryden’s 而Dryden的意见是public 应该mirror private。

所以Behn应该认为private sphere should not replicate public sphere.读了很多遍，仍然不会做这个题Bungling 拙劣的，笨拙的，粗劣的Hindrance 障碍，妨碍，阻碍没看懂Beholden 负有义务的，蒙恩的，对。

表示感激的做错原因是不认识单词逻辑是在建房子和路，鹿会被路吸引过来。

文章大意是FW认为legal documents are the best available evidence about the economic and social history of a given period. 但历史学家花了很长时间才开始系统的注意这方面的研究。

原因1是the subject requires researchers to “master an extremely formal system of pleading andprocedure.”但是其复杂性和现在一些研究criminal law in England during the same period的并不完全不同。

另一个解释是most people in modern England had little contact with civil law. 如果是这样的话，学者就不必研究the history of lega matters了。

但最近的研究表明civil litigation during the period involved artisans, merchants, professionals, shopkeepers, and farmers, and not merely a narrow propertied elite. 正好和选项中的illustrate the wide range of people who used the civil legal system in that period.The wide spread assumption is inaccurate. It says that most people in modern England had little to do with civil laws. So the history of civil law in early modern England should enrich the general historical scholarship of that period.文章中说了civil law没有被广泛研究的原因一是因为其复杂性，但这个原因不靠谱，因为其复杂性和criminal law相当，但criminal law 已经被研究得很彻底了。

粗心了，49.5-17=32.5又是粗心了。

传统的出版公司取代amateur时，diversity will not last. 后一句是说因为这些公司必须保证homogeneity才能节约成本。

前面说了weakness。

那么弱点不应该是它的统一性uniformity. 而应该是它的organization不够统一。

这题认真读题应该不能出错。

答案在最后一段。

The IOM team interpreted the nonsignificant result as evidence of the need for caution, whereas the Harvard group saw the data as consistent with studies reporting the benefits of omega-3s. 三个组用的是同样的数据，而interpretation不同。

这并不能说明哪一组的结论是有问题的。

而是说明有a difference in matters of interpretation.做错原因是没看清楚题目。

题目说是mid-1700s。

我以为是1700年，实际上就是看1750那一段。

Fewer otters would have allowed sea urchin populations on which the otters preyed to expand and the urchins’ grazing pressure on kelp forests to increase. Otter 变少了，所以urchin 就会变多。

Downright 明白的，直率的，显明的；完全，彻底，全然Disruptive 破坏的，分裂性的，制造混乱的出错原因是没理解downright disruptive。
