According to paragraph 3, how had Fort Vancouver changed by the
time David Douglas returned in 1832?
○The fort had become the headquarters for the Hudson's Bay
Company.
○Deer had begun populating the meadows around the fort.
○Deer populations near the fort had been destroyed.
○Crop yields in the area around the fort had decreased.

Paragraph 3:
The numbers of deer have fluctuated markedly since the entry of Europeans into Puget Sound country. The early
explorers and settlers told of abundant deer in the early 1800s and yet almost in the same breath bemoaned the lack of
this succulent game animal. Famous explorers of the north American frontier, Lewis and Clark arrived at the mouth of
the Columbia River on November 14, 1805, in nearly starved circumstances. They had experienced great difficulty finding
game west of the Rockies and not until the second of December did they kill their first elk. To keep 40 people alive that
winter, they consumed approximately 150 elk and 20 deer. And when game moved out of the lowlands in early spring, the
expedition decided to return east rather than face possible starvation. Later on in the early years of the nineteenth century,
when Fort Vancouver became the headquarters of the Hudson's Bay Company, deer populations continued to fluctuate.
David Douglas, Scottish botanical explorer of the 1830s, found a disturbing change in the animal life around the fort
during the period between his first visit in 1825 and his final contact with the fort in 1832. A recent Douglas biographer
states:" The deer which once picturesquely dotted the meadows around the fort were gone [in 1832], hunted to
extermination in order to protect the crops."

9. According to paragraph 4, what caused most invertebrate species
in the Mediterranean to become extinct?
○The evaporation of chemicals necessary for their survival
○Crustal movements that connected the Mediterranean to the saltier
Atlantic
○The migration of new species through the narrow straits
○Their inability to tolerate the increasing salt content of the Mediterranean
小马公开课网址：bbs.xiaoma.com/gkk
小马公开课
400-663-1986
Paragraph 4:
The time had come to formulate a hypothesis. The investigators theorized that about 20 million
years ago, the Mediterranean was a broad seaway linked to the Atlantic by two narrow straits.
Crustal movements closed the straits, and the landlocked Mediterranean began to evaporate.
Increasing salinity caused by the evaporation resulted in the extermination of scores of invertebrate
species. Only a few organisms especially tolerant of very salty conditions remained. As evaporation
continued, the remaining brine (salt water) became so dense that the calcium sulfate of the hard
layer was precipitated. In the central deeper part of the basin, the last of the brine evaporated to
precipitate more soluble sodium chloride (salt). Later, under the weight of overlying sediments, this
salt flowed plastically upward to form salt domes. Before this happened, however, the
Mediterranean was a vast desert 3,000 meters deep. Then, about 5.5 million years ago came the
deluge. As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting, the Strait of Gibraltar, where the
Mediterranean now connects to the Atlantic, opened, and water cascaded spectacularly back into
the Mediterranean. Turbulent waters tore into the hardened salt flats, broke them up, and ground
them into the pebbles observed in the first sample taken by the Challenger. As the basin was
refilled, normal marine organisms returned. Soon layer of oceanic ooze began to accumulate above
the old hard layer.

1. What purpose does paragraph 2 serve in the larger discussion of children’s inability to recall
early experiences?
○To argue that the ones that are not substantiated by evidence should generally be
considered unreliable
○To argue that the hypotheses mentioned in paragraph 2 have been more thoroughly
researched than have the theories mentioned later in the passage
○To explain why some theories about infantile amnesia are wrong before presenting
ones more likely to be true
○To explain why infantile amnesia is of great interest to researchers
小马公开课网址：bbs.xiaoma.com/gkk
小马公开课
400-663-1986
How might this inability to recall early experiences be explained? The sheer
passage of time does not account for it; adults have excellent recognition of
pictures of people who attended high school with them 35 years earlier. Another
seemingly plausible explanation--that infants do not form enduring memories at this
point in development-also is incorrect. Children two and a half to three years old
remember experiences that occurred in their first year, and eleven month olds
remember some events a year later. Nor does the hypothesis that infantile amnesia
reflects repression---or holding back—of sexually charged episodes explain the
phenomenon．While such repression may occur，people cannot remember ordinary
events from the infant and toddler periods either.
Three other explanations seem more promising.

Paragraph 2:
One compensation for not hibernating is the built-in urge to migrate.
█Deer may move from high-elevation browse areas in summer down to
the lowland areas in late fall. █Even with snow on the ground, the high
bushy understory is exposed; also snow and wind bring down leafy
branches of cedar, hemlock, red alder, and other arboreal fodder.

entry of Europeans into Puget Sound country. █The early explorers and

Paragraph 2:
Continued sedimentation—the process of deposits’ settling on the sea
bottom—buries the organic matter and subjects it to higher temperatures and
pressures, which convert the organic matter to oil and gas. █As muddy
sediments are pressed together, the gas and small droplets of oil may be
squeezed out of the mud and may move into sandy layers nearby. █Over long
periods of time (millions of years), accumulations of gas and oil can collect in
the sandy layers. █Both oil and gas are less dense than water, so they
generally tend to rise upward through water-saturated rock and sediment. █

Another explanation for the focus on animals might be that these
people sought to improve their luck at hunting. █This theory is
suggested by evidence of chips in the painted figures, perhaps made
by spears thrown at the drawings. █But if improving their hunting
luck was the chief motivation for the paintings, it is difficult to explain
why only a few show signs of having been speared. █Perhaps the
paintings were inspired by the need to increase the supply of animals.
Cave art seems to have reached a peak toward the end of the Upper
Paleolithic period, when the herds of game were decreasing. █
