🐎：
文中只有一处出现了1997年之前24年间GDP在增长这句话，“One point these journalists overlooked is that in 1997, as in the twenty-four years immediately preceding it, the real GDP per capita grew nearly one-half percent a year more slowly than it had on average between 1873 and 1973. ”就说了24年间的比1873-1973年间的more slowly，slowly的原因没有介绍，后面说的都是1997年与1873-1973年的对比了，没有再提过这24年。
在1997年，正如之前的24年一样，实际的人均GDP增长速度比起在1873-1973年之间的增长速度放缓了0.5%。-> 只给出了增长放缓的事实，没有阐述背后的原因

E then多余，过去分词已经表示了when引导状语从句一样的时间概念；they和their完全指代single locusts，不优

简单来说，过程是这样的，有两种情况：
1，在同一个岛上进化，然后分开，这样他们会发展呈different spcies， 但是closely related。
2，在不同的岛上单独分开进化，这样的结果是，在一个岛上的anoles更加closely related to 同一个岛上的其他种类的anoles，而不是不同岛上的相同anoles。

主要目的是≠文章都讲了什么
We can eliminate (C) because the author didn't write the passage to outline major questions. If this were true, we'd see more of an outline-like breakdown of more than one question. Instead, we have a deep dive into a single question ("How do these two groups define behavioral?") and a single example (Shaker) used to address that question.

B选项，文章第一段话“These communities\' agricultural systems-which were \"intensive\" in the use of labor rather than \"extensive\" in area-may have given rise to polit- ical leadership that managed both labor and food resources. ”说明了这是个intensive agricultural systems，因此后面的内容都和extensive无关

E选项，meal tax和sales tax

D. the digging 被当作是an epic, 但 family legends不知道是指digging还是epic
E. 按照它字面想表达的意思理解: family legends 被当作是an epic (许多的传奇故事可以被看作是一卷史诗, 单复数没问题), 其中一个family legends是the digging. 这样理解毫无歧义. ok

legends被人们当作an epic，其中一个legends是the digging...

a billion dollars over what was predicted / had been predicted just two months ago.
a billon dollars more than they had predicted just two months ago.

语法点：than引导从句。这个网址解释得比较好https://toefl.langlib.com/reading/article/381407901。

A选项错误原因：文章第二段只讲了Raccoons and striped skunks很少在upland habitats，也就是songbird nests所在的地方，但是不能以此推断出所有的most waterfowl-nest predators就不能到，不能用特殊推出一般

It is used in making a "more than" type of comparison where you also want to refer to a previously stated verb / action (that's where the "so" comes in). In this case, the "so" refers to "reported high marital satisfaction."

枚举推理：几篇论文认为P是作者----> P就是作者 CQ1样本代表性
C. 没提及样本 there are works that can conclusively be attributed to Pescard that are not even mentioned in the treatise from the early 1500s
枚举/统计推理一定要提及样本

Drawback: 得不到外部企业的尊重（反话正说：有了头衔就多了尊重。）
用title的好处=不用title的坏处
use of a title can facilitate an executive's dealings with external businesses. 使用头衔可以促进与外部的商业交易——>使用头衔的好处
strategy: 就是不使用头衔

1. the rising sea level 的核心词是sea level, 不是rising, rising只是一个modifier
2.possible consequences (可能的后果)——>include(包含)... ✅ possible consequences (可能的后果)——> may include(可能包含) ❌
有possible表可能的意思时, 谓语动词前就不用使用may再表达“可能”了

Option B:
Impairment of linguistic capabilities does not occur in people who have not suffered any damage to any language center of the brain.
Negated B:
Impairment of linguistic capabilities does occur in people who have not suffered any damage to any language center of the brain.
This does not affect our argument because it says that people who have NOT suffered any damage to any language center of brain are liable to getting their linguistic capabilities impaired. However, the question doesn't differentiate between people who have suffered any damage to language center and people who haven't. Additionally, this does not come close to explaining that people who have suffered a serious stroke on the left side of the brain without suffering such impairment must have their language centers in the right half!

C中they的指代应该是没问题的，首先how和when两个从句明显是平行结构，其次they did很明显的主谓关系，其中they是主语，往前找是很明确的指代mammals然后did替代colonized。个人感觉指代问题不能只看对应名词，还得看结构关系，C的结构关系很明了，并不会造成ambiguity，不算fatal error

看了800遍原来是sale和rent在竞争∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

没懂，Tiger sharks prey feed on small sharks, 如果猎杀Tiger sharks，不是对small sharks的数量增长是有帮助的吗？为什么会call into question 呢?

题目出错了。
选项E漏字了，E 选项 实际上是E. reserves, raising fears that other countries would
但是这里的选项是 reserves, raising fears that other countries 少了would。
缺了would，动词时间关系就绝壁错了。E就变成了fears that other countries do the same and inundate the market. 都没发生的事情 还能用现在时？
校对 还需加强。
