12、. Although qualitative variance among nerve energies was never rigidly disproved，the doctrine was generally abandoned in favor of the opposing view，namely，that nerve impulses are essentially homogeneous in quality and are transmitted as common currency throughout the nervous system. （4） 14. Other ex

13、periments revealed slight variations in the size，number，arrangement，and interconnection of the nerve cells，but as far as psycho neural correlations were concerned，the obvious similarities of these sensory fields to each other seemed much more remarkable than any of the minute differences. （4 -） 15.

14、Although some experiments show that，as an object becomes familiar，its internalrepresentation becomes more holistic andthe recognition process correspondingly more parallel，the weight of evidenceseems to support the serial hypothesis，at least for objects that are not notably simple and familiar. （4+）

15、16.

18、infinite set ofquantum field-theoretical equations. （5）19. Although fiction assuredly springs from political circumstances，its authors react to those circumstances in ways other than ideological，and talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideology circumvents much of the fiction

A low number of algal cells in the presence of a high number of grazers suggested，but did not prove， that the grazers had removed most of the algae. （3+）30. Perhaps the fact many

27、 of these first studies considered only algae of a size that could be collected in a net (net phytoplankton), a practice that overlooked the smaller phytoplankton (nannoplankton) that we now know grazers are most likely to feed on , led to a de-emphasis of the role of grazers in subsequent research.

28、 （5）31. Studies by Hargrave and Geen estimated natural community grazing rates by measuring feeding rates ofindividual zooplankton species in the laboratory and then computing community grazing rates for field conditions using the known population density of grazers. （5） 32.

47、in an adult flatfish is eye placement： before maturity one eye migrates，so that in an adult flatfish both eyes are on the same side of the head. （3+）50. A critique of Handlins interpretation of why legal slavery did not appear until the 1660s suggests that assumptions about the relation between slav

48、ery and racial prejudice should be reexamined , and that explanations for the different treatment of Black slaves in North and South America should be expanded .（4）51. The best evidence for the layered-mantle thesis is the well-established fact that volcanic rocks found on oceanic islands，islands be

49、lieved to result from mantle plumes arising from the lower mantle，are composed of material fundamentally different from that of the mid-ocean ridge system， whose source，mostgeologists contend，is the upper mantle. （5 -）52. Some geologists，however，on the basis of observations concerning mantle xenolit

50、hs， argue that the mantle is not layered，but that heterogeneity is created by fluids rich in incompatible elements （elements tending toward liquid rather than solid state）percolating upward and transforming portions of the upper mantleirregularly，according to the vagaries of the fluids pathways. （4+

51、）53. Fallois proposed that Proust had tried to begin a novel in 1908, abandoned it for what was to be a long demonstration of Saint-Beuves blindness to the real nature of great writing , found the essay giving rise to personal memories and fictional developments ,and allowed these to take over it a

52、steadily developing novel. （5 -） 54. The very richness and complexity of the meaningful relationships that kept presenting and rearranging themselves on all levels，from abstract intelligence to profound dreamy feelings，made it difficult for Proust to set them out coherently. （5）55.

It is possible to make specific complementary DNAs （cDNAs）that can serve as molecular probes to seek out the messenger RNAs （mRNAs）of the peptide hormones. If brain cells are making the hormones，

55、the cells will contain these MrnaS. If the products the brain cells make resemble the hormones but are not identical to them，then the cDNAs should still bind to these mRNAs，but should not bind as tightly as they would to mRNAs for the true hormones. （4）58. The molecular approach to detecting peptide

56、 hormones using cDNA probes should also be much faster than the immunological method because it can take years of tedious purifications to isolate peptide hormones and then develop antiserums to them. （4）59.

60、. （5）63. Granted that the presence of these elements need not argue an authorial awareness of novelisticconstruction comparable to that of Henry James， their presence does（15） encourage attempts to unify the novelsheterogeneous parts. （4+）64. This is not because such an interpretation necessarily st

61、iffens into a thesis（although rigidity in any interpretation of this or of any novel is always a danger），but because Wuthering Heights has recalcitrant elements of undeniable power that，ultimately，resist inclusion in an all-encompassing interpretation. (5)65. The isotopic composition of lead often v

62、aries from one source of common copper ore to another，with variations exceeding the measurement error；and preliminary studies indicate virtually uniform is topic composition of the lead from a single copper-ore source. (4) 66. More probable is bird transport，either externally，by accidental attachmen

63、t of the seeds to feathers，or internally，by the swallowing of fruit and subsequentexcretion of the seeds. （3+）67. A long-held view of the history of English colonies that became the United States has been that Englands policy toward these colonies before 1763 was dictated by commercial interests and

64、 that a change to a more imperial policy , dominated by expansionist militarist objectives , generated the tensions that ultimately led to the American Revolution . （4+）68. It is not known how rare this resemblance is，or whether it is most often seen ininclusions of silicates such as garnet，whose cr

65、ystallography is generally somewhat similar to that of diamond；but when present，the resemblance is regarded as compelling evidence that the diamonds and inclusions are truly cogenetic. （4）69. Even the radical critiquesof this mainstream research model，such as the critique developed in Divided Society，attach the issue of ethnic assimilation too mechanically to factors of economic and socialmobility and are thus unable to i
