Q14: (我选的是A,C看似无关,不知道为什么是C) Political Advertisement:
Mayor Delmont’s critics complain about the jobs that were lost in the city under Delmont’s leadership. Yet the fact is that not only were more jobs created than were eliminated, but the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide every year since Delmont took office. So there can be no question that throughout Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument in the advertisement? - The
average pay for jobs created in the city during the past three years was higher than the average pay for jobs created in the city earlier in Mayor Delmont’s tenure. - Average
pay in the city was at a ten-year low when Mayor Delmont took office. - Some
of the jobs created in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure have in the meantime been eliminated again. - The
average pay for jobs eliminated in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure has been roughly equal every year to the average pay for jobs citywide. - The
average pay for jobs in the city is currently higher than it is for jobs in the suburbs surrounding the city.
Q15: (我选的D, 觉得E和D一样的牵强阿) Capuchin monkeys often rub their bodies with a certain type of millipede. Laboratory tests show that secretions from the bodies of these millipedes(千足虫) are rich in two chemicals that are potent mosquito repellents, and mosquitoes carry parasites that debilitate capuchins. Some scientists hypothesize that the monkeys rub their bodies with the millipedes because doing so helps protect them from mosquitoes.
Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the scientists’ hypothesis? - A
single millipede often gets passed around among several capuchins, all of whom rub their bodies with it. - The
two chemicals that repel mosquitoes also repel several other varieties of insects. - The
capuchins rarely rub their bodies with the millipedes except during the rainy season, when mosquito populations are at their peak. - Although
the capuchins eat several species of insects, they do not eat the type of millipede they use to rub their bodies. - The
two insect-repelling chemicals in the secretions of the millipedes are carcinogenic (致癌的) for humans but do not appear to be carcinogenic for capuchins.
Q20: (C为什么是weaken呢) Five years ago, as part of a plan to encourage citizens of Levaska to increase the amount of money they put into savings, Levaska’s government introduced special savings accounts in which up to $3,000 a year can be saved with no tax due on the interest unless money is withdrawn before the account holder reaches the age of sixty-five. Millions of dollars have accumulated in the special accounts, so the government’s plan is obviously working. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
- A
substantial number of Levaskans have withdrawn at least some of the money they had invested in the special accounts. - Workers
in Levaska who already save money in long-term tax-free accounts that are offered through their workplace cannot take advantage of the special savings accounts introduced by the government. - The
rate at which interest earned on money deposited in regular savings accounts is taxed depends on the income bracket of the account holder. - Many Levaskans who already had
long-term savings have steadily been transferring those savings into the special accounts. - Many
of the economists who now claim that the government’s plan has been successful criticized it when it was introduced.
Q21:(不懂!!! 这是啥逻辑呢) An overwhelming proportion of the most productive employees at SaleCo’s regional offices work not eight hours a day, five days a week, as do other SaleCo employees, but rather ten hours a day, four days a week, with Friday off. Noting this phenomenon, SaleCo’s president plans to increase overall productivity by keeping the offices closed on Fridays and having all employees work the same schedule—ten hours a day, four days a week.
Which of the following, if true, provides the most reason to doubt that the president’s plan, if implemented, will achieve its stated purpose? - Typically,
a SaleCo employee’s least productive hours in the workplace are the early afternoon hours. - None
of the employees who work four days a week had volunteered to work that schedule, but all were assigned to it by their supervisors. - Working ten hours a day has allowed
the most productive employees to work two hours alone each day in their respective offices relatively undisturbed by fellow employees. - Employees
at SaleCo are compensated not on the basis of how many hours a week they work but on the basis of how productive they are during the hours they are at work. - Those
SaleCo employees who have a four-day workweek do not take any of their office work to do at home on Fridays.
Q40: (如果用排除法,可以选出是D,但仍不太明白D和原文的联系) It is theoretically possible that bacteria developed on Mars early in its history and that some were carried to Earth by a meteorite. However, strains of bacteria from different planets would probably have substantial differences in protein structure that would persist over time, and no two bacterial strains on Earth are different enough to have arisen on different planets. So, even if bacteria did arrive on Earth from Mars, they must have died out. The argument is most vulnerable to which of the following criticisms?
- It
fails to establish whether bacteria actually developed (无关)on Mars. - It
fails to establish how likely it is that Martian bacteria were transported to Earth. (无关,而且已经告诉你了by a meteorite) - It
fails to consider whether there were means other than meteorites by which Martian bacteria could have been carried to Earth. - It
fails to consider whether all bacteria now on Earth could have arisen from transported Martian bacteria. (如果是arise from,那么就是变形了,所以不算die out?) - It
fails to consider whether there could have been strains of bacteria that originated on Earth and later died out. (无关)
