13. Which of the following most logically completes theargument?
The lastmembers of a now-extinct species of a European wild deercalled the giantdeerlived in Ireland about 16,000 years ago. Prehistoric cave paintings in France depict this animal as having a large hump on its back. Fossils of this animal, however, do not show any hump. Nevertheless, there is no reason to conclude that the cave paintings are therefore inaccurate in this regard, since__.
(A) some prehistoric cave paintings in France also depict other animals as having a hump
(B) fossils of the giantdeer are much more common in Ireland than in France
(C) animal humps arecomposed of fatty tissue, which does not fossilize
(Ol the cave paintings of the giantdeer were painted well before 16,000 years ago
(El only one currently existing species of deerhas any anatomical feature that even remotely resembles a hump


14. The sustained massive use of pesticides in farming has two effects that are especiallypernicious. First, it often kills off the pests' natural enemies in the area. Second, it often unintentionally gives rise to insecticide-resistant pests, sincethose insects that survive a particular insecticidewill be theonesmost resistant to it, and they are the ones left to breed.
From the passage above, it can be properly inferred
that the effectiveness of the sustained massive use of pesticides can be extended by doingwhich of the
following, assuming that each is a realistic possibility?
(Al Using onlychemically stable insecticides
(Bl Periodically switching the type of insecticide used
(Cl Gradually increasing the quantities of pesticides used
(0) Leaving a few fields fallow every year
(E) Breeding higher-yielding varieties of crop plants


15. In an attempt to promotethe widespread use of paper rather than plastic, and thus reduce nonbiodegradable waste, the council of a small town plans to ban the sale of disposable plastic goods for which substitutes made of paper exist. The council argues that since most paper is entirely biodegradable, paper goods are environmentally preferable.
Which of the following, if true, indicates that the plan to ban the sale of disposable plastic goods is ill suited
to the town council's environmental goals?
(A) Although biodegradable plastic goods are now available, members of the town council believe biodegradable paper goods to be safer for the environment.
(8) The paper factory at which most of the townspeople are employed plans to increase production of biodegradable paper goods.
(C) After other towns enacted similar bans on the sale of plastic goods, the environmental benefits
were not discernible for several years.
(0) Sincemost townspeople prefer plastic goods to papergoods in many instances, theyare likely
to purchase them in neighboring towns where plastic goods are available for sale.
(El Products other than those derived fromwood pulp are often used in themanufacture of paper
goods thatare entirely biodegradable
16. Since the deregulation of airlines, delays at the nation's increasingly busy airports have increased by
25 percent. To combat this problem, more of the takeoff and landing slots at the busiest airportsmust
be allocated to commercial airlines.
Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubton the effectiveness of the solution proposed above?
(Al The major causes of delays at the nation's busiest airports are bad weather and overtaxed air traffic control equipment.
(B) Since airline deregulation began, the number of airplanes in operation has increased by 25 percent.
(ClOver 60 percent of the takeoff and landing slots at the nation's busie st airports are reserved for commercial airlines.
(D) After a smallMidwestern airport doubled its allocation of takeoff and landing slots, the number of delays that were reported decreased by 50 percent.
(E) Since deregulation the average length of delay at the nation's busiest airports has doubled.



AA
The following appeared in the editorial section of a local newspaper:
“This past winter, 200 students from Waymarsh State College traveled to the state capitol building to protest against proposed cuts in funding for various state college programs. The other 12,000 Waymarsh students evidently weren’t so concerned about their education: they either stayed on campus or left for winter break. Since the group who did not protest is far more numerous, it is more representative of the state’s college students than are the protesters. Therefore the state legislature need not heed the appeals of the protesting students。

B: The deer lived 16000 years ago is extincted now.
P: The deer shown on the cave painting has humps on the back.
C: It cannot illustrate that the cave painting is inaccurate although the fossils of deer show no humps on the back.
Complete: Since the fossils of deer didn't show the evolution of deers.
A: C

(A) some prehistoric cave paintings in France also depict other animals as having a hump (some other paintings are irrelevant)
(B) fossils of the giantdeer are much more common in Ireland than in France (giant deer is not mentioned here阅读不细致，以为只说deer，错误在于where the fossils are found is not important)
(C) animal humps arecomposed of fatty tissue, which does not fossilize
(Ol the cave paintings of the giantdeer were painted well before 16,000 years ago (time period is not right)
(El only one currently existing species of deerhas any anatomical feature that even remotely resembles a hump (resembles a hump? but is it a real hump?)

46s
P: The insecticide normally kills insects, but it also raises the resistant pests.
C: The resistant pests will be the only pests left to breed.
S: There might be other insecticides can kill these resistant pests.
A: B (好险，差点以为是infer题目，找了半天答案都觉得不对，没仔细看问题中的conclusion）
(Al Using onlychemically stable insecticides (we don't know if this insecticide in the passage is only chemical or not)
(Bl Periodically switching the type of insecticide used (If switching the insecticide, then it may kill these pests left. )
(Cl Gradually increasing the quantities of pesticides used (this pesticide does not work)
(0) Leaving a few fields fallow every year (not a good idea, loss benefit)
(E) Breeding higher-yielding varieties of crop plants (what?)

36s
P: The city wants to ban the sales of biodegradable plastic.
C: The council argues that the paper product are biodegradable now, and paper products are preferable.
W: The paper products have plastic within themselves.
A: D
(A) Although biodegradable plastic goods are now available, members of the town council believe biodegradable paper goods to be safer for the environment. (no comparison between these two)
(8) The paper factory at which most of the townspeople are employed plans to increase production of biodegradable paper goods. (strengthen)
(C) After other towns enacted similar bans on the sale of plastic goods, the environmental benefits not discernible for several years. (other towns' fact is irrelevant)
(0) Sincemost townspeople prefer plastic goods to papergoods in many instances, theyare likely to purchase them in neighboring towns where plastic goods are available for sale.
(El Products other than those derived fromwood pulp are often used in themanufacture of paper goods thatare entirely biodegradable (paper goods' materials is irrelevant)

25s
P: The most busy airlines are delayed 25% due to the deregulation.
C: This airline moves flights to the commercial airlines to reduce the delay.
W: Other reasons cause the delay.
A: A

(Al The major causes of delays at the nation's busiest airports are bad weather and overtaxed air traffic control equipment.
(B) Since airline deregulation began, the number of airplanes in operation has increased by 25 percent. (repeat the premise is wrong)
(ClOver 60 percent of the takeoff and landing slots at the nation's busie st airports are reserved for commercial airlines. (no percentage is mentioned, plus, this percentage does not mean anything)
(D) After a smallMidwestern airport doubled its allocation of takeoff and landing slots, the number of delays that were reported decreased by 50 percent. (a small Midwestern airport is compared with the larger sample does not help to weaken the argument)
(E) Since deregulation the average length of delay at the nation's busiest airports has doubled. (strengthen)

1.【24s】
P：painting describes a deer has a hump, however, there is no fossil hump has ever been found
C:this does not mean the painting is inaccurate.
Reason: the hump can not preserved underground for a long time.
2.【40s】
P:massive use of the pesticides has two bad effects:1.kill many enemies of the pest. 2. give rise to pesticide-resistance pest.
C:extend the effectiveness of the pesticides
A:change the kind of pesticides once after a while.
3.【30s】
P:in order to reduce nonbiodegradable waste, the council change  the the use of plastic bags to the use of paper, since the paper is biodegradable.
C：this plan is environmental  preferable.
W:the use of paper will lead to a lot of cuts of trees thus damage the environment.
[哦~~这道题想偏了··原来落脚点在preferable不在environmentally.
4.【20s】
P：the regulation of  the airline--> the increase of the delays-->in order solve the problem
C: most of the slots in the busiest airport should be located to the commercial airlines.
W: the most delays happened in the commercial airlines.
