[单项选择]
What unusual or unique biological train led to the remarkable diversification and unchallenged success of the ants for ever 50 million years The answer appears to be that they were the first group of predatory ensocial insects that both lived and foraged primarily in the soil and in rotting vegetation on the ground. Eusocial refers to a form (5) of insect society characterized by specialization of tasks and cooperative care of the young; it is rare among insects. Richly organized colonies of the land made possible by eusociality enjoy several key advantages over solitary individuals. Under most circumstances groups of workers arc better able to forage for food and defend the nest, because they can switch from individual to group response and back (10) again swiftly and according to need.

[单项选择] Glaciers are large masses of ice on land that show evidence of past or present
movement. They grow by the gradual transformation of snow into glacier ice.
A fresh snowfall is a fluffy mass of loosely packed snowflakes, small delicate ice
constals grown in the atmosphere. As the snow ages on the ground for weeks or months,
(5) the crystals shrink and become more compact, and the whole mass becomes squeezed
together into a more dense form, granular snow. As new snow falls and buries the older
snow, the layers of granular snow further compact to form firm, a much denser kind of
snow, usually a year or more old, which has little pore space. Further burial and slow
cementation―a process by which crystals become bound together in a mosaic of
(10) intergrown ice crystals―finally produce solid glacial ice. In this process of
recrystallization, the growth of new crystals at the expense of old ones, the percentage of
air is reduced fr
