With its common interest in lawbreaking but its immense range of subject-matter and widely-varying methods of treatment, the crime novel could make a legitimate claim to be regarded as a separate branch of literature, or at least, as a distinct, even though a slightly disreputable, offshoot of the traditional novel.
The detective story is probably the most respectable (at any rate in the narrow sense of the word) of the crime species. Its creation is often the relaxation of university scholars, literary economists, scientists or even poets. Disastrous deaths may occur more frequently and mysteriously than might be expected in polite society, but the world in which they happen, the village, seaside resort, college or studio, is familiar to us, if not from our own experience, at least in the newspaper or the lives of friends. The characters, though normally realized superficially, are as recognizably human and consistent as
A. it is more real
B. our friends are familiar with it
C. it pleases the readers in a way
D. it needs the readers’ support

[单项选择]The opposite of adaptive divergence is an interesting and fairly common expression of evolution. Whereas related groups of organisms take on widely different characters in becoming adapted to unlike environments in the case of adaptive divergence. We find that Unrelated groups of organisms exhibit adaptive convergence when they spot similar modes of life or become suited for special sorts of environments. For example, invertebrate marine animals living firmly attached to the sea bottom or to some foreign object tend to develop a sub- cylindrical or conical form. This is illustrated by coral individuals, by many sponges, and even by the diminutive tubes of bryozoans. Adaptive convergence in taking this coral-like form is shown by some brachiopods and pelecypods that grew in fixed position. More readily appreciated is the streamlined fitness of most fishes for moving swiftly through water; they have no neck, the contour of the body is smoothly curved so as to give minimum resistance, and
A. whale and dolphin
B. halibut and whale
C. ichthyosaurs and dolphins
D. invertebrate marine animals and vertebrate marine animals

For beauty and interest alike, there are few objects in the starry heavens to compare with Saturn. This magnificent planet, with the system of rings that encircles it, provides an unforgettable spectacle when it is viewed through a powerful telescope. The Saturnian system includes not only the planet and its rings, but also 11 or more satellites, or moons.
To the ancients Saturn appeared to be the most insignificant of the heavenly bodies that were supposed to circle the Earth (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) , as distinguished from the fixed stars. The glorious rings that surround the planet were invisible before the invention of the telescope in the first decade of the seventeenth century. Otherwise this magnificent crown might have saved Saturn from the sinister reputation that it once bore. Ancient astrologers maintained that it had a sinister influence upon people.
Saturn is far from the center of the solar system. The mean dist

[单项选择]Interest is steadily spreading from a minority of enthusiasts in developing renewable sources of energy--wind, wave and solar power, tidal and geothermal energy. Additional support for them has come with a proposal to explore the untapped sources of hydroelectric power in Scotland.
The details are presented by Mr. William Manser in a study called "The Case for an Inquiry into Hydroelectric Generation in the North of Scotland". He calls for an expert committee to look at the developments possible for hydroelectric sites and, more important, for means of financing them
There is a clear industrial connection in Mr. Manser’s study because it was done for the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors; hydroelectric schemes, by definition, have a large civil engineering component in them. Mr. Manser estimates that wind power could theoretically provide more than 7 percent of electricity supply in the United Kingdom if suitable sites for generators could be found. However, the pra
A. Wind power needs to be fully understood before it can develop.
B. Suitable sites for wind power generation are hard to find.
C. There is not enough wind power for the whole country.
D. Only little research has been done on wind power.
