57. Meteorite explo sions in the Earth's atmosphere as large as the one that destroyed forests in Siberia, with approximately the force of a twelve-megaton nuclear blast, occur about once a century. The response of highly automated systems controlled by complex computer program s to unexpected circumstances is unpredictable.


Which of the following conclusions can most properly be drawn , if the statements above are true, about a highly automated nuclear-missile defense system controlled by a complex computer program?


(A) With in a century after its construction, the system would react ina ppropriately and might accidentally start a nuclear war.
(B) The system would be destroyed if an explosion of a large meteorite occurred in the Earth's atmosphere .
(C) It would be impossible for the system to distinguish the explo sion of a large meteorite from the explosion of a nuclear weapon.
(0) Whether the system would respond inappropriately to the explosion of a large meteorite would depend on the location of the blast.
(E) It is not certain what the system's response to the explosion of a large meteorite would be, if its designers did not plan for such a contingency.


58. If there is an oil-supply disruption resulting in higher international oil prices, domestic oil prices in open-market countries such as the United States will rise as well, whether such countries import all or none of their oil.


If the statement above concerning oil-supply disruptions is true, which of the following policies in an open-market nation is most likely to reduce the long-term economic impact on that nation of sharp and unexpected increases in international oil prices?


(A) Maintaining the quantity of oil imported at constant yearly levels
(B) Increasing the number of oil tankers in its fleet
(C) Suspending diplomatic relations with major oil-producing nations
(D) Decreasing oil consumption through conservation
(E) Decreasing domestic production of oil


59. Boreal owls range over a much larger area than do other owls of similar size. The reason for this behavior is probably that the small mammals on which owls feed are especially scarce in the forests where boreal owls live, and the relative scarcity of preyrequires the owls to range more extensively to find sufficient food.


Which of the following, if true, most helps to confirm the explanation above?


(A) Some boreal owls range over an area eight times largerthan the area over which any other owl of similar size ranges.
(8) Boreal owls range over larger areas in regions where food of the sort eaten by small mammals is sparse
than they do in regions where such food is abundant.
(e) After their young hatch, boreal owls must hunt more often than before in order to feed both themselves
and their newly hatched young.
(0) Sometimes individual boreal owls hunt near a single location for many weeks at a time and do not range
farther than a few hundred yards.
(E) The boreal owl requires less food, relative to its weight, than is required by members of other owl species.






60. The tobacco industry is still profitable and projections are that it will remain so. In the United States this year, the total amount of tobacco sold by tobacco farmers has increased, even though the number of adults who smoke has decreased.


Each of the following, if true, could explain the simultaneous increase in tobacco sales and decrease in the
number of adults who smoke EXCEPT:


(A) During this year, the number of women who have begun to smoke is greater than the number of men who have quit smoking.
(8) The number of teenage children who have begun to smoke this year is greaterthan the number of adults
who have quit smoking during the same period.
(C) During this year, the number of nonsmokers who have begun to use chewing tobacco or snuffis greater
than the number of people who have quit smoking.
(D) The people who have continued to smoke consume more tobacco per person than theydid in the past.
(E) More of the cigarettes made in the United States this yearwere exported to other countries than was the
case last year.

Portrayals of violence are commercially successful in programs in television, movies, andother popular entertainment. Therefore, producers should incorporate more violence to these popularentertainment.

北美范文
Clearly, mostpopular films and television shows are superficial and/or include a certainamount of violence or obscenity. Just as clearly, popularity leads tocommercial success. But can we conclude that these productions are overlyinfluenced by commercial interests? Perhaps not, since some popular films andtelevision shows are neither superficial, obscene, nor violent. Closerscrutiny, however, reveals that most such productions actually support, notdisprove, the thesis that commercial interests dictate movie and televisioncontent. (哪有必要作这样的二次转折)
One would-be (自称自许的)threat to the thesis can be found in lower-budget independent films,which tend to focus more on character development and topical social issuesthan on sensationalism. Recently, a few such films have supplanted Hollywood’s major studio productions as top box-office (adj. 票房的) hits. Does this mean that profit potential no longer dictates thecontent of films? No; it simply suggests that the tastes and preferences of themovie-going public are shifting.A second ostensible challenge to the thesis canbe found in companies such as Disney, whose productions continue to achievegreat popularity and commercial success, without resort to an appeal to baserinterests. Yet it is because these productions are commercially successful thatthey proliferate.
The only cogentchallenge to the thesis is found in perennial television favorites such as“Nova,” a public television show that is neither commercially supported norinfluenced. However, such shows are more in the nature of education thanentertainment, and for every one program like “Nova” there are several equallypopular—and highly superficial—programs.
With few exceptions, then, commercial success of certain films andtelevision shows is no accidental byproduct of popularity; it is theintentional result of producers’ efforts to maximize profits.

AI:
Portrayals of violence are commercially successful in programs in television, movies, and other popular entertainment. Therefore, producers should incorporate more violence to these popular entertainment.

Conclusion: the producers should incorporate more violence to popular entertainment.
Argument:
1. Incorporating more violence does not guarantee that the production of films will be successful, many films with violence are still popular.
2. The audience taste can always change from time to time, so the success of film with violence may last only for a short period.
3. The low budget tends to produce movies with more substances instead of violent and entertaining things to attract audience. These movies can still achieve their success.
