天山3-3, 3-4, 3-5 and even 3-2 HELP!!!!

howardhu35

I made 6 mistakes for tian-shan 3 verbal.  But 4 from first 10
questions!!!!!  Does this mean I am doomed a low score if this
happens in the real test?

However, even after reading the answers, I am still not sure 3-3, 3-4 an 3-5.

CR 3-3, I chose E but answer is B.  Why B?  I did not see the
reasoning. Other crops should not include the new cotton. It does not
make sense.

RC 3-4,  I chose D, but answer is E. Why E? How come the quality plays a role here?

RC 3-5 , I chose E, but answer is B.  Where does the passage say
that space served a ceremonial function? The champer does.



Please help me.  I used to feel confident on reading. Now I am lost.  The questions for this passage is so tricky.



As for 3-2, I know C is the best among all 5 answers.  But even C is not  good  to me.

The honeybee's stinger, heavily barbed and staying where it is
inserted, results in the fact tht the at of stinging causes the bee to
sustain a fatal injury.

How can you say: A stinger results in something.   The correct one should be:

That the beavily barbed stinger of the honeybee stays where it is inserted results in ....

Q4 to Q6:

      In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries,

many Western Pueblo settlements

in what is now the southwestern United

Line     States may have possessed distinctly

(5)        hierarchical organizational structures.
            These communities’ agricultural
            systems— which were “intensive” in
            the use of labor rather than “extensive”
            in area— may have given rise to polit-

(10)      ical leadership that managed both

            labor and food resources. That for­mal

            management of food resources

            was needed is suggested by the

            large size of storage spaces located

(15)      around some communal Great Kivas

            (underground ceremonial chambers).

            Though no direct evidence exists that

            such spaces were used to store food,

            Western Pueblo communities lacking

(20)      sufficient arable land to support their

            populations could have preserved

            the necessary extra food, including

            imported foodstuffs, in such appar­ently

            communal spaces.

(25)            Moreover, evidence of special­ization

            in producing raw materials and

            in manufacturing ceramics and textiles

            indicates differentiation of labor within

            and between communities. The orga-

(30)      nizational and managerial demands

            of such specialization strengthen

            the possibility that a decision-making

            elite existed, an elite whose control

                        overlabor, the use of community sur-

(35)      pluses, and the acquisition of imported

            goods would have led to a concen­tration

            of economic resources in their

            own hands. Evidence for differential

            distribution of wealth is found in buri-

(40)      als of the period:  some include large

            quantities of pottery, jewelry, and other

            artifacts, whereas others from the same

            sites lack any such materials.
Q4:
Which of the following, if true, woruld ost clearly undermine the author 's statment  in the last sentene of thepassage(line 38-43) regarding the distribution of wealth in thesettlements?
B.  Members of community with extensive agriultural systems are usually buried without their personal pocssessions.
D. Burial artifacts are often ritual objects associated with religiouspractice rath than being the deceased's personal possessions.
E.  The qualit of burial artifacts varies depenidng on the site with which they are associated.
Why E, not D?

Q5:
According to the passage, which of the following is probably true of the storage spaces
mentioned in line 14?

      A. They were used by the community elite for storage of their own food supplies.

      B.   They served a ceremonial as well as a practical function.

C.  Their size is an indication of the wealth of the particular community to which they belonged.

D. Their existence proves that the community to which they belonged imported large amounts of food.

      E. They belonged to and were used by the community as a whole.

Suggested answer is B.

Question:

  why E is wrong ?   Thanks.

我怎么感觉天山3－5这道题，

D,E都可以呀？

D: 文中说：“Western Pueblo communities lacking

(20)      sufficient arable land to support their

            populations could have preserved

            the necessary extra food, including

            imported foodstuffs”

E: 文中接上面一句：“in such appar­ently

            communal spaces.”

这有没有定论呀？
