[单项选择]Cuckolds are men whose wives gave birth to infants that were blatantly not their own. The well known trickery of the cuckoo, the bird from which "cuckold" is derived, is as a nest parasite -laying eggs for other bh’ds to hatch and raise. New research suggests the cuckoo has another trick it uses to ruffle its victims’ feathers.
Common cuckoos usually lay a single egg in the nest of a host bird. The eggs often look remarkably similar to the host’s. Upon hatching, the cuckoo chick eliminates any of its potential rival chicks by pushing them or their eggs out of the nest. However, there is more to this elaborate deceit than is generally realized.
As far back as ancient times a similarity has been noted between many cuckoo species and hawks ; in size, shape and plumage. More recently researchers have discovered that hawk-like markings are more prevalent in cuckoo species that engage in nest parasitism than in cuckoo species that do not. Researchers wondered whether this similarit
A. Because they both mimic the distinctive appearance of others.
B. Because the cuckoo’s stealth is analogous to the cuckold’s deceit.
C. Because they both have others raise their descendants.
D. Because the cuckoo’s invasion of other birds’ nests is analogous to the stealing of a wife’s affections by another man.

[单项选择]An orator, whose purpose is to persuade men, must speak the things they wish to hear, an orator, whose purpose is to move men, must also avoid disturbing the emotional effect by any obtrusion of intellectual antagonism, but an author, whose purpose is to instruct men, who appeals to the intellect, must be careless of their opinions and think only of truth. It will often be a question when a man is or is not wise in advancing an unpalatable opinion, or in preaching heresies. But it can never be a question that a man should be silent if unprepared to speak the truth as he conceives it. Deference to popular opinion is one great source of bad writing and is all the more disastrous because the deference is paid to some purely hypothetical requirement. When a man fails to see the truth of certain generally accepted views, there is no law compelling him to provoke animosity by announcing his dissent. He may be excused if he shrink from the lurid glory of martyrdom. He may be justified in not
A. should announce his dissent
B. should be willing to be persecuted by others
C. should assent to the accepted view to achieve harmony
D. must be sincere
