Artificial seaweed made ofp I astic has been placedon a section of coastin order toreverse beach eros ion.The i nventor of the seaweed

22、has concIuded that the recent bui Idup of sand on that section of coast proves that theartificialseaweed reverse beach erosion.

The presence of microorganisms that produce a tox in causes seawater to turn brownish red, phenomenon kn

26、own as a red tide. Sea otters do not feed in areas where clams, thei r main source of food, have become contaminated with thi s toxin. Accord i ng to a proposed exp I anation of the otters1 behav ior, the otters samp Ie the cIams in a potential feeding areas and can taste any toxin in them.Which of

28、ffect on which other mar ine organisms are to be found in that area.(C) When seawater in an area unaffected by red tideis artificially dyed brownish red, sea otters do not feed on the clams in that area.(D) If the cIams in a given area are contaminated with toxins, sea otters move to other areas in

29、search of food.(E) Although very smaI I amounts of the tox in produced dur ing a red tide are not harmfuI, Iarge doses can be fatal to anima Is the s i ze of sea otters10.

To exp la i n thi s, some argue that fear of enomous destruetion such as the Second WorId War produced has had a dramatic deterrent effect.Which of the fol lowing . if true, most ser iousIyweakens the deterrent theory mentioned above?(A) After the First WorI

31、d War, the fear of great future destruetion was as intense as it was after the Second WorId War.(B) Psycho Iogi sts have detemined that fear of retaliation tends to temper aggressiveness among human be i n gs.(C) The Second WorId War was far less destractivethan most people gen- era I Iy be Iieve(D)
