2. The reason much refrigerated food spoils is that it ends up out of sight at the back of the shelf. So why not have round shelves that rotate? Because such rotating shelves would have just the same sort of drawback, since things would fall off the shelves’ edges into the rear corners.
Which of the following is presupposed in the argument against introducing rotating shelves? (A) Refrigerators would not be made so that their interior space is cylindrical. (B) Refrigerators would not be made to have a window in front for easy viewing of their contents without opening the door. (C) The problem of spoilage of refrigerated food is not amenable to any solution based on design changes. (D) Refrigerators are so well designed that there are bound to be drawbacks to any design change. (E) Rotating shelves would be designed to rotate only while the refrigerator door was open.
答案是A, 可我觉得是E, 5. Archaeologists have found wheeled ceramic toys made by the Toltec, twelfth-century inhabitants of what is now Veracruz. Although there is no archaeo- logical evidence that the Toltec used wheels for anything but toys, some anthropologists hypothesize that wheeled utility vehicles were used to carry materials needed for the monumental structures the Toltec produced.
Which of the following, if true, would most help the anthropologists explain the lack of evidence noted above? (A) The Toltec sometimes incorporated into their toys representations of utensils or other devices that served some practical purpose. (B) Any wheeled utility vehicies used by the Toltec could have been made entirely of wood, and unlike ceramic, wood decays rapidly in the humid climate of Veracruz. (C) Carvings in monument walls suggest that the Toltec’s wheeled ceramic toys sometimes had ritual uses in addition to being used by both children and adults as decorations and playthings. (D) Wheeled utility vehicles were used during the twelfth century in many areas of the world, but during this time wheeled toys were not very common in areas outside Veracruz. (E) Some of the wheeled ceramic toys were found near the remains of monumental structures. 答案是B, 我认为是C 请指教,谢谢! |
