TPO11 第一篇 填句子位置题
frequently servants, from the nonelite population. ■The function of these is quite different. ■Many are made to be put in the tombs of the elite in order to serve the tomb owners in the afterlife. ■Unlike formal statues that are limited to static poses of standing, sitting, and kneeling, these figures depict a wide range of actions, such as grinding grain, baking bread, producing pots, and making music, and they are shown in appropriate poses, bending and squatting as they carry out their tasks. ■

13. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.
In fact, it is the action and not the figure itself that is important.
Where would the sentence best fit?
为什么选择D而不选C?

TPO11 第三篇
Paragraph 5: In experimenting with artificial suns, Kramer made another interesting discovery. If the artificial Sun remained stationary, the birds would shift their direction with respect to it at a rate of about 15 degrees per hour, the Sun's rate of movement across the sky. Apparently, the birds were assuming that the "Sun" they saw was moving at that rate. When the real Sun was visible, however, the birds maintained a constant direction as it moved across the sky. In other words, they were able to compensate for the Sun's movement. This meant that some sort of biological clock was operating-and a very precise clock at that.
  
8. According to paragraph 5, how did the birds fly when the real Sun was visible?
○ They kept the direction of their flight constant.
○ They changed the direction of their flight at a rate of 15 degrees per hour.
○ They kept flying toward the Sun.
○ They flew in the same direction as the birds that were seeing the artificial Sun.
为什么选A不选B?

9. The experiment described in paragraph 5 caused Kramer to conclude that birds possess a biological clock because
○ when birds navigate they are able to compensate for the changing position of the Sun in the sky
○ birds innate bearings keep them oriented in a direction that is within 15 degrees of the Suns direction
○ birds' migration is triggered by natural environmental cues, such as the position of the Sun
○ birds shift their direction at a rate of 15 degrees per hour whether the Sun is visible or not
为什么选A不选D?

第三篇8题 问的是真实情况下鸟儿会如何飞行。实验做的是假太阳，太阳是固定的，那么鸟儿会有方向的调整。他们为啥要调整方向呢？是因为在实际环境下，太阳是相对地球运动的，它们靠太阳的位置来辨别方向，那么太阳在动，他们也要调整自己相对于太阳的运动方向来保持自己相对于地球的运动方向不变。
那么实际情况下，他们的飞行方向是不变的。这与实验时是不同的。B是做实验时的结果。
嗯，第九题也就出来了。

我明白了 原来是我理解的问题 我一直把constant理解为连续的。。以为太阳visible的时候鸟也要转动角度。。
之前的句子插入题，我是这么想的，插入句子里面有action 但插入句的后面一句有action应该也可以吧？插入句先说明，后面再提 为什么不行呢？
