Mayor: Migrating shorebirds stop at our beach just to feed on horseshoe-crab eggs, a phenomenon that attracts tourists. To bring more tourists, the town council plans to undertake a beach reclamation project to double the area available to crabs for nesting.Birdwatcher: Without a high density of crabs on a beach, migrating shorebirds will go hungry because shorebirds only eat eggs that a crab happens to uncover when it is digging its own nest.
Which of the following, if true, would provide the mayor with the strongest counter to the birdwatcher's objection?
Verbal: 一、SC 1、美国某一女性组织 将美国有一个league 这个league有很久的历史了,主要不是强调女性权利而是强调女性做为女人的义务domestic role,比如繁衍与抚养后代,并指出这是女人的核心价值。然而在1860还是1960年,分歧出现了,越来越多的女性走出了家门开始在各个岗位上工作,并有女权运动者指出这个league只是强调了女人的biological differences from man (注意biological difference有 2、太阳起源 重点在2,4段 (这篇好长): P1:讲太阳起源于a cluster of stars(好像是) P2:然后作者开始证明,说在一些流星还是什么的里面发现了nickle60,这是一种iron衰变(原文decay,不知翻译对不对)后的产物,一般来说,离什么中心越远,重金属含量越少,如果太阳had been secluded,那么就不会有这些物质,所以证明作者结论。好像是这样... P3:太阳系有些彗星comet的运行轨道很odd,skewed,作者解释是被其他一些类似太阳的星球带的,再次证明作者结论太阳是从a cluster of star来的。 P4:忘记了... 3、personality trait 与职业选择 (1)2段,讲的是personality trait与职业选择关系。 第一段讲了两类人,leaders和technicians,说某个学者研究出来leaders很outgoing,technicians很passive。(尼玛这不是废话了,是人都知道),然后开始装模作样的分析原因,说为什么leaders需要outgoing的品质啦,technician因为做的东西大部分是分析内容,不用和人打交道,所以passive没关系啦。(lz读完第一段就傻了,怀疑自己怎么这么快就进低分库了,这尼玛讲的是小学生的东西,而且整一段的单词那个简单) 第二段更弱智,开始扯个人的职业选择了,又说了正常的outgoing的人都会选择去当manager,因为自己性格适合呀。(这尼玛又是废话。)然后最后扯到说虽然个人可以选择呀,但是最后要不要你还是employer自己来决定的。 。 4、、**动物觅食 snowshoe hare foraging behavior的那个题,的确巨长,一屏半,机经的结构还是差不多的,其中第二段没有题,可以看得快一点,第三段比较重要,说的是兔子被用篱笆关起来以后,这样可以避免天敌的存在,但是发现兔子的捕食行为没有改变,由此得出结论说兔子的捕食行为跟天敌没有关系,主要是跟食物的可得性有关。 二、RC 1、车祸率 科学家调查下雨天和晴天的交通事故概率,主要是通过降雨量计算。如果是按月计算的话,发现晴天的交通事故还高些。但是如果换算成天来算的,发现结果和他们期待的一样,又是雨天稍微多些。问哪个选项可以解释? A因为连续下雨的路况,好过下雨和晴天互换的路况。 B刚下过雨的晴天路面反而不好走 2、Mayor: Migrating shorebirds stop at our beach just to feed on horseshoe-crab eggs, a phenomenon that attracts tourists. To bring more tourists, the town council plans to undertake a beach reclamation project to double the area available to crabs for nesting. Birdwatcher: Without a high density of crabs on a beach, migrating shorebirds will go hungry because shorebirds only eat eggs that a crab happens to uncover when it is digging its own nest. Which of the following, if true, would provide the mayor with the strongest counter to the birdwatcher's objection? A Every year a certain percentage of crabs are caught by fishermen as bait for eel traps. B Horseshoe crabs are so prolific that given favorable circumstances their numbers increase rapidly. C On average, tourists who come to the town in order to watch birds spend more money there than tourists who come for other purposes. D The additional land made available by the reclamation project will give migrating shorebirds more space. E Some of the migrating shorebirds make only one stop during their migration form South America to Canada. Sol: B birdwatcher 是说鸟只吃他们附近的螃蟹蛋,所以如果范围扩大了 他们就吃不到蛋了。 而B 是说螃蟹很多产 所以再扩大他们都生的出那么多蛋 3、有一题印象深刻,说一个教授的独白: Professor: 这世上很多人从事的职业最后都能被成为profession,比如律师还是啥的。但是很奇怪地,management这个行当的人就不能归到这类里面去,为嘛啊?私以为啊,I shall refute the argument that the xx - especially the refusal to put one's materialistic interests first - is inherent xxx. (实在对不起,这句现在想不起来了,我保证努力想,这确实是理解整段话的关键,当时也就没看懂) 有些senior managers啊,什么也不想,就想着钱,就是这帮人坏了大事。 问题很奇怪,就是问这老头绕来绕去想说啥子?
