[21] The idea of evolution in nature proposed by Charles Darwin had significant effects well beyond the areas of biology. The basic premise of Darwin's idea that organisms must adapt or face extinction is sometimes misconstrued and applied by                  to other areas in which there is scant evidence for its existence. A notable example of this is Social Darwinism, a dominant social philosophy of the 19th century, in which it is argued that society is like nature, and thus people, like animals, are competing for survival, with those who are genetically superior at surviving and reproducing.

① asymmetry

[22] The "lessons-of-history" is indeed a familiar phrase, so much so that the lessons are sometimes learned too well. History never repeats itself exactly; no historical situation is the same as any other; even two like events                  in that the first has no precedent, while the second has. But even in this respect history can teach a lesson-namely, that nothing ever stays the same. "You cannot step twice into the same river," said the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus, "for fresh waters are ever flowing in upon you." The only                  thign in human affairs is the constrancy of change itself.

① diverge - fleeting

② coincide - practical

③ differ - unchanging

④ dissemble - intelligible

 

[24] In the 1070s, the market for large gas guzzling cars declined and the large North American auto companies lost hundreds of millions of dollars. They responded by restructuring their industry. New models were designed that could compete with the best models from Japan and Europe. Old plants were closed and new ones opened. These new factories used the latest computer and robot technology to increase quality and cut costs. Many workers lost their jobs due to    (A)       . By making these enormous changes, the auto industry was able to regain its economic health. Technical changes will eventually affect most of the manufacturers of the Heartland. The ability of   (B)         to respond to such changes, and the ability of the Heartland to attract new factories to replace those that close down, will determine whether the Heartland will remain as the industrial center of Canada.

Rene Descartes was a French philosopher, mathematician, physicist, and writer. He has been dubbed the "Father of Modern Philosophy." and much subsequent Western philosophy is response to his writings which have been studied closely to this day. In particular, his Meditations on First Philosophy continues to be a standard text at most university philosophy departments. In addition, Discourse on the Method, became and remains one of the most influential books in all philosophy. In part IV of that book, Descartes proposed the famous philosophical statement "Cogito ero sum." meaning "Ithink, therefore I am." Another phrase, "de omnibus dubitandum" (we must doubt everything) often used by Descartes, also well expresses the crus of the Cartesian method. this statement may seem strangely (    A    ) advice from a religious man; and, indeed, it did not make him popular with the clergy of his day. yet, when descartes used the method of doubt, he reached a religious position somewhat by paradox. His aim in using the method was always clear. Unlike Michel de montaigne and other skeptics against whom he wrote, Descartes had no interest in a modish attitude of doubt for the sake of doubting. His aim was by way of doubt to reach down to what can be shown with (    B    ) . This was essentially the scientific procedure of seventeenth-century physics, in which doubt played a constant part: ' to accept nothing as true' until it was established, as far as possible, beyond doubt.

Buffalo, zebras, wildebeests, topi, Thomson's gazelles live in hue groups that together make up some 90 percent of the total weight of mammals living on the Serengeti Plain of East Africa. They are all herbivores, and they all appear to be living on the same diet of grasses, herb, and small bushes. This appearance is (    A     ) . When biologist Richard Bell and his colleagues analyzed the stomach contents of four of the five species, except, buffalo, they found that each species was living on a different part of the vegetation. The different vegetational parts differ in their food qualities; lower down, there are succulent, nutritious leaves; higher up are the harder stems. There are also sparsely distributed, highly nutritious fruits, and Bell found that only the Thomson's gazelles eat much of there. The other three species differ in the proportion of lower leaves and higher stems that they eat: zebras eat the most stem matter, wildebeests eat the most leaves, and topi are intermediate. how are we to understand their different feeding preferences? One answer lies in the differences among the species in their digestive systems. According to their digestive systems, these herbivores can be divided into two categories; the nonruminants (such as the zebra, which has a digestive system like a horse) and the ruminants (such as the wildebeest, topi, and gazelle, which are like the cow). When food is in short supply, a ruminant can last longer than a nonruminant because it can derive more energy out of the same food. the difference can partially explain (      B      ) of the Serengeti herbivores. The zebra chooses areas where there is more low-quality food. it migrate first to unexploited areas and chomps the abundant low-quality stems before moving on. it is a fast-in/fast-out feeder, relying on a high output of incompletely digested food. by the time the wildebeests and other ruminants arrive, the grazing and trampling of the zebras will have worn the vegetation down. As the ruminants then set to work, they eat down the lower, leafier part of the vegetation.
