Verbal 1. 说一间motorcycle公司在儿童杂志卖广告,但有人认为儿童不能买,而且说服父母买了也不能坐,所以waste of money,问weaken,应该是该公司希望令小朋友对他们有好感,准备明年推出的儿童单车 2. 说什么service industry相对重工业显得越来越重要,而重工业是carbon dioxide emission的主要原因,所以carbon dioxide的总排放量减少。问logic有什么问题,应该是confusion between relative decline and absolute decline. 3. 心理学家认为有些人常以为有人在后面看他们,其实是当他们认为有人看他们的时候,他们会turn their heads and that this action will attract attention from nearby people to look at them。所以人以为有人在后面看他们并不是真的,问evaluate,我选了,when there are someone behind them, as well as when no one behind them, how frequent will they turn their heads 4. 一种动物的主要threat是hunter和与人类接触是感染的fatal disease,有人提议限制tourist和human living near the habitat of the animal, 保育团体说这会更危险,问reason,我选了hunter在有tourist和有人居住的地方不敢猎杀该动物 Higoodspeed: RC 印象中有一题为wasp攻击caterpillar的文章,caterpillar吃的植物会分泌一种物质,这种物质会吸引wasp,从而植物透过此分泌物质来保护自己不被caterpillar吃 刚刚找了一个相似的原文,希望其他人来确认一下 Parasitic and predatory arthropods often prevent plants from being severely damaged by killing herbivores as they feed on the plants.
Recent studies show that a variety of plants, when injured by herbivores, emit chemical signals that guide natural enemies to the herbivores. It is unlikely that herbivore-damaged plants initiate the production of chemicals solely to attract parasitoids and predators. The signaling role probably evolved secondarily from plant responses that produce toxins and deterrents against herbivores and antibiotics against pathogens. To effectively function as signals for natural enemies, the emitted volatiles should be clearly distinguishable from background odors, specific for prey or host species that feed on the plant, and emitted at times when the natural enemies forage. Our studies on the phenomena of herbivore-induced emissions of volatiles in corn and cotton plants and studies conducted by others indicate that (i) the clarity of the volatile signals is high, as they are unique for herbivore damage, produced in relatively large amounts, and easily distinguishable from background odors; (ii) specificity is limited when different herbivores feed on the same plant species but high as far as odors emitted by different plant species and genotypes are concerned; (iii) the signals are timed so that they are mainly released during the daytime, when natural enemies tend to forage, and they wane slowly after herbivore stops.
1. 公司定价-----说公司一个定价的策略,大公司用低价的策略来和其他公司竞争,但是需要弥补因为一些低价销售带来的利润损失,第二段提了两个方法,可以申请财政贴补还有另外一个方法,但是说这两种方法都不太可行(有题问到如何弥补损失),然后说道那些采取低价策略的大公司可能面临其他竞争公司重新进入该行业 2. 文化表达方式(博物馆展览)-----主要说文化表达,但基本上通篇举了美国DC美国印第安人博物馆的例子,说里面的展览排列方式不是通常的按照地域或是年代,而是按照不同的主题来排,还用某印第安语言来标示,不利于非印第安文化的朋友参观。最后一句说到担心这种展览方式可能会发展成主题乐园。几道题都是问作者的看法,有一道是作者的担心,我选的是担心其他博物馆会效仿这种展览方式(不确定对) 3. 生态变化----- 说有些被人为破坏的生态环境改变后不会恢复(大致这个意思)。举了个例子,某种草因为过度放牧导致地质表面的土壤被破坏(有细节题)然后某种灌木就会替代这些原来这些植物。后面不记得了。这边比较长,但总体不难 4. 企业竞争----- 说国内行业的竞争是否有利与国内企业在国际市场上竞争,作者总体的态度是有利。 一篇阅读讲一个SUPEREARTH,就是说在太阳系外发现一个和地球差不多的行星。 一道题目是问 确定这种行星是 ROCKY PLANET 的方法是? 答案是和地球的体积相同。这道我很确定。 还有一篇阅读讲一个美国黑人著名女性开办了一个卖美发产品的企业,她的宗旨是帮助那些黑人女性找自行,找社会地位。文章讲了她将经营理念不但传达给客户,也传达给她的经销商。 这题非常简单,两段 因为是低分题库,希望大家别遇到。 又想起了一道阅读。是讲加州妇女育儿组织的,该题目非常长,两屏,但是每段的条理很清。第一段讲美国政府二战前后的育儿组织,第二段讲加州的育儿组织比其他州的优势, 第三段我忘了= =。 有一题问加州的育儿组织和其他州比,好处在哪?还有一题说下列关于加州育儿组织的说法哪个是对的。应该选如果二战时加州育儿组织不庞大的话,战后加州的育儿组织就不会有优势。(加州州政府现在都快破产了= =,在某演员的领导下:You're terminated)
