预告预告:过了系列5我们就会完美升级咯~~! hopehope快考试了,加油加油~~^^
101. Biological functions of many plants and animals vary in cycles that are repeated every 24 hours. It is tempting to suppose that alteration in the intensity of incident light is the stimulus that controls these daily biological rhythms. But there is much evidence to contradict this hypothesis. Which of the following, if known, is evidence that contradicts the hypothesis stated in lines 2-5 above? (A) Human body temperature varies throughout the day, with the maximum occurring in the late afternoon and the minimum in the morning. (B) While some animals, such as the robin, are more active during the day, others, such as mice, show greater activity at night. (C) When people move from one time zone to another, their daily biological rhythms adjust in a matter of days to the periods of sunlight and darkness in the new zone. (D) Certain single-cell plants display daily biological rhythms even when the part of the cell containing the nucleus is removed. (E) Even when exposed to constant light intensity around the clock, some algae display rates of photosynthesis that are much greater during daylight hours than at night.
102. Although migraine headaches are believed to be caused by food allergies, putting patients on diets that eliminate those foods to which the patients have been demonstrated to have allergic migraine reactions frequently does not stop headaches. Obviously, some other cause of migraine headaches besides food allergies much exist. Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the conclusion above? (A) Many common foods elicit an allergic response only after several days, making it very difficult to observe links between specific foods patients eat and headaches they develop. (B) Food allergies affect many people who never develop the symptom of migraine headaches. (C) Many patients report that the foods that cause them migraine headaches are among the foods that they most enjoy eating. (D) Very few patients have allergic migraine reactions as children live migraine-free adult lives once they have eliminated from their diets foods to which they have been demonstrated to be allergic. (E) Very rarely do food allergies cause patients to suffer a symptom more severe than that of migraine headaches.
103. The technological conservatism of bicycle manufacturers is a reflection of the kinds of demand they are trying to meet. The only cyclists seriously interested in innovation and willing to pay for it are bicycle racers. Therefore, innovation in bicycle technology is limited by what authorities will accept as standard for purpose of competition in bicycle races. Which of the following is an assumption made in drawing the conclusion above? (A) The market for cheap, traditional bicycles cannot expand unless the market for high-performance competition bicycles expands. (B) High-performance bicycles are likely to be improved more as a result of technological innovations developed in small workshops than as a result of technological innovations developed in major manufacturing concerns. (C) Bicycle racers do not generate a strong demand for innovations that fall outside what is officially recognized as standard for purposes of competition. (D) The technological conservatism of bicycle manufacturers results primarily from their desire to manufacture a product that can be sold without being altered to suit different national markets. (E) The authorities who set standards for high-performance bicycle racing do not keep informed about innovative bicycle design.
104. Spending on research and development by United States businesses for 1984 showed an increase of about 8 percent over the 1983 level. This increase actually continued a downward trend evident since 1981 – when outlays for research and development increased 16.4 percent over 1980 spending. Clearly, the 25 percent tax credit enacted by Congress in 1981, which was intended to promote spending on research and development, did little or nothing to stimulate such spending. The conclusion of the argument above cannot be true unless which of the following is true? (A) Business spending on research and development is usually directly proportional to business profits. (B) Business spending for research and development in 1985 could not increase by more than 8.3%. (C) Had the 1981 tax credit been set higher than 25%, business spending for research and development after 1981 would have increased more than it did. (D) In the absence of the 25% tax credit, business spending for research and development after 1981 would not have been substantially lower than it was. (E) Tax credits market for specific investments are rarely effective in inducing businesses to make those investments.
105. Treatment for hypertension forestalls certain medical expenses by preventing strokes and heart disease. Yet any money so saved amounts to only one-fourth of the expenditures required to treat the hypertensive population. Therefore, there is no economic justification for preventive treatment for hypertension. Which of the following, if true, is most damaging to the conclusion above? (A) The many fatal strokes and heart attacks resulting from untreated hypertension cause insignificant medical expenditures but large economic losses of other sorts. (B) The cost, per patient, of preventive treatment for hypertension would remain constant even if such treatment were instituted on a large scale. (C) In matters of health care, economic considerations should ideally not be dominant. (D) Effective prevention presupposes early diagnosis, and programs to ensure early diagnosis are costly. (E) The net savings in medical resources achieved by some preventive health measures are smaller than the net losses attributable to certain other measures of this kind.
