9. Over the past twenty-five years the introduction of labor- saving technologies has greatly reduced the average amount of time a worker needs to produce a given output, potentially both reducing the number of hours each worker works each week and increasing workers' leisure time correspondingly. The average amount of leisure time per worker, however, has increased at only half the rate at which the average hourly output per worker has grown.
If the statements above are true, which one of the following is most strongly supported by them?
(A) Workers on average spend more money on leisure activities today than they did twenty-five years ago.
(B) Labor-saving technologies have created fewer jobs than they have eliminated.
(C) The percentage of the population that is in the work force has grown over the past twenty-five years.
(D) The average hourly output per worker has not risen as much as had been anticipated when modem labor-saving technologies were first introduced.
(E) Twenty-five years ago the average weekly output per worker was less than it is today.
22. A scientist made three observations: (1) in the world's temperate zones, food is more plentiful in the ocean than it is in fresh water; (2) migratory fish in temperate zones generally mature in the ocean and spawn in fresh water; and (3) migratory fish need much nourishment as they mature but little or none during the part of their lives when they spawn. On the basis of those observations, the scientist formulated the hypothesis that food availability is a determining factor in the migration of migratory fish. Subsequently the scientist learned that in the tropics migratory fish generally mature in fresh water and spawn in the ocean.
Which one of the following would it be most helpful to know in order to judge whether what the scientist subsequently learned calls into question the hypothesis?
(A) whether in the world's temperate zones, the temperatures of bodies of fresh water tend to be lower than those of the regions of the oceans into which they flow
(B) whether the types of foods that migratory fish eat while they inhabit the ocean are similar to those that they eat while they inhabit bodies of fresh water
(C) whether any species of fish with populations in temperate zones also have populations that live in the tropics
(D) whether there are more species of migratory fish in the tropics than there are in temperate zones
(E) whether in the tropics food is less plentiful in the ocean than in fresh water
8. Some years ago, an editorial defended Unite States government restrictions on academic freedom, arguing that scientists who receive public funding cannot rightly "detach themselves from the government's policies on national security" Yet the same editorial criticized the Soviet government for not allowing scientists to "detach themselves from politics" If there is a significant difference between the principles involved in each case, the editorial should have explained what that difference is.
The author of the passage criticizes the editorial by
(A) disputing certain factual claims made in the editorial
(B) pointing out an apparent inconsistency in the editorial
(C) describing an alleged exception to a general claim made in the editorial
(D) refuting an assumption on which the argument of the editorial appears to have been based
(E) drawing conclusions form the editorial different form the conclusion drawn by the writer of the editorial
Consumer activist: By allowing major airlines to abandon, as they promptly did, all but their most profitable routes, the government's decision to cease regulation of the airline industry has worked to the disadvantage of everyone who lacks access to large metropolitan airport.
Industry representative: On the contrary, where major airlines moved out, regional airlines have moved in and ,as a consequence, there are more flights into and out of most small airports now that before the change in regulatory policy. 18. Which one of the following is assumption on which the consumer activist抯 argument depends?
(A) Before the recent change in regulatory policy, there was no advantage in having easy access to large metropolitan airport.
(B) When any sizable group of consumers is seriously disadvantaged by a change in government policy, that change should be reversed.
(C) Government regulation of industry almost always works to the advantage of consumers.
(D) At the time of the regulatory change, the major airlines were maintaining their less profitable routes at least in part be4cause of government requirements.
(E) Regional airlines lack the resources to provides consumers with service of the same quality as that provided by the major airlines
以下是引用joice在2003-9-24 9:21:00的发言： Consumer activist do this: governmt cease regulation on less profitable -- = allowing -- to abandon all but the most profitable--,
in other words : governmt cease regulation on less profitable -- = allowing-- to abandon less profitable --
contrapositive: not abandon less profitable(maintain) = governmt regulate less profitable---.
so D.

还是不懂 我咋觉得这道题目讲的是major airlines 和regional airlines 的关系呢 when major airlines moved out,regional airlines moved in, then there are more flights into and out of most small airports now that before the change in regulatory policy
