Question: 5  
   
Those examples of poetic justice that occur in medieval and Elizabethan literature, and that 
seem so 
satisfying, have encouraged a whole school of twentieth-century scholars to "find" further examples. 
In 
fact, these scholars have merely forced victimized character into a moral framework by which the 
injustices inflicted on them are, somehow or other, justified. Such scholars deny that the sufferers in 
a 
tragedy are innocent; they blame the victims themselves for their tragic fates. Any misdoing is 
enough to 
subject a character to critical whips. Thus, there are long essays about the misdemeanors of 
Webster's 
Duchess of Malfi, who defined her brothers, and he behavior of Shakespeare's Desdemona, who 
disobeyed her father. 
Yet it should be remembered that the Renaissance writer Matteo Bandello strongly protests the 
injustice 
of the severe penalties issued to women for acts of disobedience that men could, and did, commit 
with 
virtual impunity. And Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Webster often enlist their readers on the side of 
their 
tragic heroines by describing injustices so cruel that readers cannot but join in protest. By portraying 
Griselda, in the Clerk's Tale, as a meek, gentle victim who does not criticize, much less rebel against 
the 
 
prosecutor, her husband Waltter, Chaucer incites readers to espouse Griselda's cause against 
Walter's 
oppression. Thus, efforts to supply historical and theological rationalization for Walter's persecutions 
tend 
to turn Chaucer's fable upside down, to deny its most obvious effect on reader's sympathies. 
Similarly, to 
assert that Webster's Duchess deserved torture and death because she chose to marry the man she 
loved and to bear their children is, in effect to join forces with her tyrannical brothers, and so to 
confound 
the operation of poetic justice, of which readers should approve, with precisely those examples of 
social 
injustice that Webster does everything in his power to make readers condemn. Indeed. Webster has 
his 
heroin so heroically lead the resistance to tyranny that she may well in spire members of the 
audience to 
imaginatively join forces with her against the cruelty and hypocritical morality of her brothers. 
Thus Chaucer and Webster, in their different ways, attack injustice, argue on behalf of the victims, 
and 
prosecute the persecutors. Their readers serve them as a court of appeal that remains free to rule, as 
the 
evidence requires, and as common humanity requires, in favor of the innocent and injured parties. 
For, to 
paraphrase the noted eighteenth-century scholar, Samuel Johnson, despite all the refinements of 
subtlety 
and the dogmatism of learning, it is by the common sense and compassion of readers who are 
uncorrupted by the characters and situations in mereval and Dlizabetahn literature, as in any other 
literature, can best be judged.

Question: 7  
   
The fossil remain of the first flying vertebrates, the pterosaurs, have intrigued paleontologists 
for more 
than two centuries. How such large creatures, which weighed in some cases as much as a piloted 
hangglider and had wingspans from 8 to 12 meters, solved the problems of powered flight, and 
exactly 
what these creatures were-reptiles or birds-are among the questions scientist have puzzled over. 
Perhaps the least controversial assertion about the pterosaurs is that they were reptiles. Their skulls, 
pelvises, and hind feet are reptilian. The anatomy of their wings suggests that they did not evolve 
into the 
class of birds. In pterosaurs a greatly elongated fourth finger of each forelimb supported a wing like 
membrane. The other fingers were short and reptilian, with sharp claws, in birds the second finger is 
the 
principle strut of the wing, which consists primarily of features. If the pterosaur walked or remained 
stationary, the fourth finger, and with it the wing, could only turn upward in an extended inverted 
Vshape 
along side of the animal's body. 
The pterosaurs resembled both birds and bats in their overall structure and proportions. This is not 
surprising because the design of any flying vertebrate is subject to aerodynamic constraints. Both the 
pterosaurs and the birds have hollow bones, a feature that represents a saving in weight. In the birds, 
however, these bones are reinforced more massively by internal struts. 
Although scales typically cover reptiles, the pterosaurs probably had hairy coats. T.H. Huxley 
reasoned 
that flying vertebrates must have been warm blooded because flying implies a high internal 
temperature. 
Huxley speculated that a coat of hair would insulate against loss of body heat and might streamline 
the 
body to reduce drag in flight. The recent discovery of a pterosaur specimen covered in long, dense, 
and 
relatively thick hairlike fossil material was the first clear evidenced that his reasoning was correct. 
Efforts 
to explain how the pterosaurs became air-borne have led to suggestions that they launched 
themselves 
by jumping from cliffs, by dropping from trees, or even by rising into light winds from the crests of 
waves. 
Each hypothesis has its difficulties. The first wrongly assumes that the pterosaur's hind feet 
resembled a 
bat's and could served as hooks by which the animal could bang in preparation for flight. The second 
hypothesis seems unlikely because large pterosaurs could not have landed in trees without damaging 
their wings. The birds call for high waves to channels updrafts. The wind that made such waves 
 
however, 
might have been too strong for the pterosaurs to control their flight once airborne. 
According to the passage, the lack of critical attention paid to Jane Austen can be explained by all of 
the 
following nineteenth-century attitudes towards the novel EXCEPT the 
 
A. assurance felt by many people that novels weakened the mind 
B. certainly shared by many political commentators that the range of novels was too narrow 
C. Lack of interest shown by some critics in novels that were published anonymously 
D. fear exhibited by some religious and political groups that novels had the power to portray immoral 
characters attractively 
E. belief held by some religious and political groups that novels had no practical value.
