RC-10 修改测量数据 (GWD 原文,注意JJ作者确认第一道题有变化) 【版本1】20世纪70年代的中国用19世纪80年的英国测量某山的方法进行对英国原来错误数据的更改。 【版本2】测量珠穆朗玛峰高度, 中国人改正了英国人在测量中的一些问题.(我看到Chinese眼睛就发亮了) GWD-26-Q32-Q35 中国人改进了英国人测量珠峰高度的方法 In 1975 Chinese survey teams remeasured Mount Everest, the highest of the Himalayan mountains. Like the British in 1852, they used the age-old Line (5) technique of “carrying in” sea level: surveyors marched inland from the coast for thousands of miles, stopping at increments of as little as a few feet to measure their elevation, and mark- (10) ing each increment with two poles. To measure the difference in elevation between poles, surveyors used an optical level—a telescope on a level base—placed halfway between the (15) poles. They sighted each pole, read- ing off measurements that were then used to calculate the change in eleva- tion over each increment. In sight of the peaks the used theodolites— (20) telescopes for measuring vertical and horizontal angles—to determine the elevation of the summit. The Chinese, however, made efforts to correct for the errors that (25) had plagued the British. One source of error is refraction, the bending of light beams as they pass through air layers of different temperature and pressure. Because light traveling. (30) down from a summit passes through many such layers, a surveyor could sight a mirage rather than the peak itself. To reduce refraction errors, the Chinese team carried in sea level to (35) within five to twelve miles of Everest’s summit, decreasing the amount of air that light passed through on its way to their theodolites. The Chinese also launched weather balloons near their (40) theodolites to measure atmospheric temperature and pressure changes to better estimate refraction errors. Another hurdle is the peak’s shape. When surveyors sight the summit. (45) there is a risk they might not all measure the same point. In 1975 the Chinese installed the first survey beacon on Everest, a red reflector visible through a theodolite for ten (50) miles, as a reference point. One more source of error is the uneven- ness of sea level. The British assumed that carrying in sea level would extend an imaginary line from (55) the shore along Earth’s curve to a point beneath the Himalaya. In reality, sea level varies according to the irregular interior of the planet. The Chinese used a gravity meter to correct for local deviations in sea level. ------------------------------------------------------------- Q32 It can be inferred from the passage that refraction would be most likely to cause errors in measurements of a mountain’s elevation under which of the following conditions? A. When there are local variations in sea level B. When light passes through humid air C. When theodolites are used relatively far from the mountain peak. D. When weather balloons indicate low air temperature and pressure. E.

A. Introduce a definition B. Signal a transition in focus C. Summarize the preceding paragraph D. Draw a contrast between two different theories. E. Present information that contradicts the Preceding paragraph. ---------------------------------------------------- Q34 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible source of error in surveying mountain elevation?

RC-12 医生malpractice 【版本1】还有就是:第一段: malpractice suit 对检查医生由于ignorance犯的错影响很小。因为it is blunt.紧接着说了两个原因(2道细节题):一个是只有2% 的病人sue医生的ignorance;Even so,其中也有很少重病的人是真的由ignorance造成的。 第二段讲了另一种方法。就是医生些自己开会讨论方法解决问题。(这段好像没怎么考到)
RC-13 恐龙,冷血?热血? 一个讲两个科学家D,O关于恐龙是冷血动物还是热血动物的课题,具体是怎么分辨的我记不起来了,D通过一些列的证明说恐龙是热血动物, O然后也做了一些实验,说D的实验结果不正确。考了一个主题题, 一个O对这个D的学说的破斥题。还有个什么题忘记了。几篇阅读都有主题, (有一篇GWD原文讲这个主题,但经JJ作者确认不是其遇到的,俺贴在这里,大家做个参考----熟悉熟悉“恐龙”专业词汇吧~~) GWD-9-Q33-Q36 G-9-Q33-Q36 Scientists studying the physiology of dinosaurs have long debated whether dinosaurs were warm- or cold-blooded. Those who suspect they were warm-blooded point out that dinosaur bone is generally fibro-lamellar in nature; because fibro-lamellar bone is formed quickly, the bone fibrils, or filaments, are laid down haphazardly. Consistent with their rapid growth rate, warm-blooded animals, such as birds and mammals, tend to produce fibro-lamellar bone, whereas reptiles, which are slow-growing and cold-blooded, generally produce bone in which fibrils are laid down parallel to each other. Moreover, like the bone of birds and mammals, dinosaur bone tends to be highly vascularized, or filled with blood vessels. These characteristics, first recognized in the 1930’s, were documented in the 1960’s by de Ricqlès, who found highly vascularized, fibro-lamellar bone in several groups of dinosaurs. In the 1970’s, Bakker cited these characteristics as evidence for the warm-bloodedness of dinosaurs. Although de Ricqlès urged caution, arguing for an intermediate type of dinosaur physiology, a generation of paleontologists has come to believe that dinosaur bone is mammalianlike. In the 1980’s, however, Bakker’s contention began to be questioned, as a number of scientists found growth rings in the bones of various dinosaurs that are much like those in modern reptiles. Bone growth in reptiles is periodic in nature, producing a series of concentric rings in the bone, not unlike the growth rings of a tree. Recently, Chinsamy investigated the bones of two dinosaurs from the early Jurassic period (208-187 million years ago), and found that these bones also had growth rings; however, they were also partially fibro-lamellar in nature. Chinsamy’s work raises a question central to the debate over dinosaur physiology: did dinosaurs form fibro-lamellar bone because of an innately high metabolic rate associated with warm-bloodedness or because of periods of unusually fast growth that occurred under favorable environmental conditions? (Although modern reptiles generally do not form fibro-lamellar bone, juvenile crocodilesraised under optimal environmental conditions do.) This question remains unanswered; indeed, taking all the evidence into account, one cannot make a definitive statement about dinosaur physiology on the basis of dinosaur bone. It may be that dinosaurs had an intermediate pattern of bone structure because their physiology was neither typically reptilian, mammalian, nor avian. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GWD-9-Q33 G-9-Q33: The author of the passage would be most likely to agree that the “caution” (line 29) urged by de Ricqlès regarding claims about dinosaur physiology was A. unjustified by the evidence available to de Ricqlès B. unnecessary, given the work done by Bakker and his followers C. indicative of the prevailing scientific opinion at the time D. warranted, given certain subsequent findings of other scientists E. influential in the recent work of Chinsamy ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GWD-9-Q34 G-9-Q34: The primary purpose of the passage is to A. discuss the influence on other scientists of Bakker’s argument concerning the warm-bloodedness of dinosaurs B. provide evidence that supports the claim that dinosaurs were cold-blooded C. challenge the contention that dinosaur bone tissue is innately fibro-lamellar D. evaluate the claim that dinosaur bone tissue provides evidence for the warmbloodedness of dinosaurs E. resolve the disagreement between de Ricqlès and Bakker over the nature of dinosaur physiology ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GWD-9-Q35 G-9-Q35: According to the passage, the discovery of growth rings in the bones of certain dinosaurs served to undermine which of the following claims? A. That modern reptiles are related to dinosaurs B. That bone growth in dinosaurs was periodic in nature C. That dinosaurs were warm-blooded D. That dinosaurs had an intermediate type of physiology E. That fibro-lamellar bone is the product of a rapid growth rate ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GWD-9-Q36 G-9-Q36: The author of the passage mentions bone growth patterns in juvenile crocodiles most likely in order to A. provide support for the argument that reptiles are not related to dinosaurs B. undermine the claim that most reptiles are slow-growing C. offer an explanation as to why juvenile crocodiles differ from most modern reptiles D. suggest the juvenile crocodiles have a type of physiology intermediate between-f mammals and that of reptiles E. suggest that the presence of fibro-lamellar bone does not resolve the debate over dinosaur physiology 答案:DDCE RC-14 半合法市场(山寨市场…^ _ ^) (gray market) 【版本1】说gray market存在影响了那些正牌店和制造商的利润, 因为gray market卖的便宜, 类似于网上买化妆品和当代双安买比较吧. 研究却发现这些gray market的存在如果符合两个条件的话反而可以刺激提高正牌店和制造商的利润, 一个是一部分人群对价格更敏感, 另一个是什么来着. 最后得出结论说这些gray market只是吸引那些价格敏感的人, 这些正牌店应该提高服务质量, 吸引那些对价格不敏感的人. 问题里有一个是问根据这个研究, 对那些符合这些条件的市场应该采用怎样的策略, 我选了A, 分两种经销渠道, 一种是便宜实惠的吸引那些价格敏感的人, 另一种走高端路线吸引那些人傻钱多的.
