[单项选择]Although the prevailing supposition has been that it is too hot for microorganisms to survive deep below the Earth’s surface, some scientists argue that there are living communities of microorganisms there that have been cut off from surface life for millions of years. These scientists base their argument on the discovery of living microorganisms in samples of material that were taken from holes drilled as deep as 1.74 miles. The scientists’ argument depends on which of the following assumptions
A. The microorganisms brought up were of a species that is related to those previously known to science.
B. No holes have been drilled into the Earth’s surface to a distance deeper than 1.74 miles.
C. The microorganisms did not come from surface soil that came into contact with the drilling equipment.
D. The stratum from which the samples came has been below the surface of the Earth ever since the Earth came into existence.
E. (E) The temperature at the bottom of the holes drilled was not significantly hotter than that of the hottest spots on the Earth’s surface.

For more than a decade, the prevailing view of innovation has been that little guys had the edge. Innovation bubbled up from the bottom, from upstarts and insurgents. Big companies didn’t innovate, and government got in the way. In the dominant innovation narrative, venture-backed start-up companies were cast as the nimble winners and large corporations as the sluggish losers.
There was a rich vein of business-school research supporting the notion that innovation comes most naturally from small-scale outsiders. That was the headline point that a generation of business people, venture investors and policy makers took away from Clayton M. Christensen’s 1997 classic, The Innovator’s Dilemma, which examined the process of disruptive change.
But a shift in thinking is under way, driven by altered circumstances. In the United States and abroad, the biggest economic and social challenges—and potential business opportunities—are problems in m
A. business people are more innovative than government officials
B. all kinds of changes are disruptive activities in some sense
C. the dilemma of any innovation is its disruptive nature
D. small businesses are more creative than large companies

[单项选择]The making of classifications by literary historiabs can be a somewhat risky enterprise.
When Black poets are discussed separately as a group, for instance, the extent to which their work reflects the development of poetry in general should not be forgotten, or a distortion of literary history may result. This reminder is particularly relevant in an assessment of the differences between Black poets at the turn of last century (1900-1909) and those of the generation of the 1920s. These differences include the bolder and more forthright speech of the later generation and its technical inventiveness. It should be remembered, though, that comparable differences also existed for similar generations of White poets.
When poets of the 1910s and 1920s are considered together, however, the distinctions that literary historians might make between "conservative" and "experimental" would be of little significance in a discussion of Black poets, although these remain helpful classification f
A. Because these poets wrote in very different styles.
B. Because these poets had a lot in common and there is no need to classify them.
C. Because these poets were fundamentally united by a sense of racial achievement despite differences in poetic styles.
D. Because such a method of classification would fail to take account of the influence of general poetic practice.

[单项选择]Within that exclusive group of literary characters who have survived through the centuries—from Hamlet to Huckleberry Finn—few can rival the cultural impact of Sherlock Holmes. Since his first public appearance 20 years ago, the gentleman with the curved pipe and a taste for cocaine, the master of deductive reasoning and elaborate disguise, has left his mark everywhere—in crime literature, film and television, cartoons and comic books.
At Holmes’ side, of course, was his trusted friend Dr. Watson. Looming even larger, however, was another doctor, one whose medical practice was so slow it allowed him plenty of time to pursue his literary ambition. His name: Arthur Conan Doyle. As the creator of these fictional icons, Conan Doyle has himself become something of a cult figure, the object of countless critical studies, biographies and fan clubs.
Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859, into a respectable middle-class Catholic family. Still, it was far from an easy life. The
A. successful
B. powerful
C. ridiculous
D. frustrating
