1.Amphibian populations are declining in numbers
worldwide. Not coincidentally, the earth’s ozone
layer has been continuously depleted throughout the
last 50 years. Atmospheric ozone blocks UV-B, a
type of ultraviolet radiation that is continuously
produced by the sun, and which can damage genes.
Because amphibians lack hair, hide, or feathers to
shield them, they are particularly vulnerable to UV-B
radiation. In addition, their gelatinous eggs lack the
protection of leathery or hard shells. Thus, the
primary cause of the declining amphibian population
is the depletion of the ozone layer.
Each of the following, if true, would strengthen the
argument EXCEPT:
(A) Of the various types of radiation blocked by
atmospheric ozone, UV-B is the only type
that can damage genes.
(B) Amphibian populations are declining far more
rapidly than are the populations of
nonamphibian species whose tissues and
eggs have more natural protection from
UV-B.
(C) Atmospheric ozone has been significantly
depleted above all the areas of the world in
which amphibian populations are declining.
(D) The natural habitat of amphibians has not
become smaller over the past century.
(E) Amphibian populations have declined
continuously for the last 50 years.
2.A certain mayor has proposed a fee of five dollars per day on private vehicles entering the city, claiming that the fee will alleviate the city's traffic congestion.The mayor reasons that, since the fee will exceed the cost of round-trip bus fare from many nearby points, many people will switch from using their cars to using the bus.



Which of the following statements, if true, provides the best evidence that the mayor's reasoning is flawed?



(A) Projected increases in the price of gasoline will increase the cost of taking a private vehicle into the city.

(B) The cost of parking fees already makes it considerably more expensive for most people to take a private vehicle into the city than to take a bus.

(C) Most of the people currently riding the bus do not own private vehicles.

(D) Many commuters opposing the mayor's plan have indicated that they would rather endure traffic congestion than pay a five-dollar-per day fee.

(E) During the average workday, private vehicles owned and operated by people living within the city account for twenty percent of the city's traffic congestion.



3.Sales of telephones have increased dramatically over the last year. In order to take advantage of this increase, Mammoth Industries plans to expand production of its own model of telephone, while continuing its already very extensive advertising of this product.



Which of the following, if true, provides most support for the view that Mammoth Industries cannot increase its sales of telephones by adopting the plan outlined above?


(A) Although it sells all of the telephones that it produces, Mammoth Industries' share of all telephone sales has declined over the last year.

(B) Mammoth Industries' average inventory of telephones awaiting shipment to retailers has declined slightly over the last year.

(C) Advertising has made the brand name of Mammoth Industries' telephones widely known, but few consumers know that Mammoth Industries owns this brand.

(D) Mammoth Industries' telephone is one of three brands of telephone that have together accounted for the bulk of the last year's increase in sales.

(E) Despite a slight decline in the retail price, sales of Mammoth Industries' telephones have fallen in the last year.

4.Manufacturers sometimes discount the price of a product to retailers for a promotion period when the product is advertised to consumers.Such promotions often result in a dramatic increase in amount of product sold by the manufacturers to retailers.Nevertheless, the manufacturers could often make more profit by not holding the promotions.



Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim above about the manufacturers' profit?



(A) The amount of discount generally offered by manufacturers to retailers is carefully calculated to represent the minimum needed to draw consumers' attention to the product.

(B) For many consumer products the period of advertising discounted prices to consumers is about a week, not sufficiently long for consumers to become used to the sale price.

(C) For products that are not newly introduced, the purpose of such promotions is to keep the products in the minds of consumers and to attract consumers who are currently using competing products.

(D) During such a promotion retailers tend to accumulate in their warehouses inventory bought at discount; they then sell much of it later at their regular price.

(E) If a manufacturer fails to offer such promotions but its competitor offers them, that competitor will tend to attract consumers away from the manufacturer's product.



5.Excavation of the ancient city of Kourion on the island of Cyprus revealed a pattern of debris and collapsed buildings typical of towns devastated by earthquakes.Archaeologists have hypothesized that the destruction was due to a major earthquake known to have occurred near the island in A.D. 365.



Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the archaeologists' hypothesis?B



(A) Bronze ceremonial drinking vessels that are often found in graves dating from years preceding and following A.D. 365 were also found in several graves near Kourion.

(B) No coins minted after A.D. 365 were found in Kourion, but coins minted before that year were found in abundance.

(C) Most modern histories of Cyprus mention that an earthquake occurred near the island in A.D. 365.

(D) Several small statues carved in styles current in Cyprus in the century between A.D. 300 and 400 were found in Kourion.

(E) Stone inscriptions in a form of the Greek alphabet that was definitely used in Cyprus after A.D. 365 were found in Kourion.



6.In many corporations, employees are being replaced by automated equipment in order to save money.However, many workers who lose their jobs to automation will need government assistance to survive, and the same corporations that are laying people off will eventually pay for that assistance through increased taxes and unemployment insurance payments.



Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the author's argument?



(A) Many workers who have already lost their jobs to automation have been unable to find new jobs.

(B) Many corporations that have failed to automate have seen their profits decline.

(C) Taxes and unemployment insurance are paid also by corporations that are not automating.

(D) Most of the new jobs created by automation pay less than the jobs eliminated by automation did.

(E) The initial investment in machinery for automation is often greater than the short-term savings in labor costs.

1.

答案预测：其它答案围绕没有了臭氧层，怎样减少
amphibian population的。正确答案是与此无关的选项。

选D （答案说了个跟结论相反的。对哈~无关或者相反的。。。）
2.
assume:
the fee will exceed the cost of round-trip bus
fare from many nearby points, many people will
switch from using their cars to using the bus
conclusion: the fee will alleviate the city's
traffic congestion.
答案切入点： 用cars的人关心的不是cost,而是其它。（
他因）

选A （答案是说，private vehicle的费用要增加了，补助不够用了——这种情况，只有看了选项才能猜得到。。）
3. 答案推测： sales of telephones之所以增加，不是
因为own model of telephone买得多（是另一个model的
卖得多）。或者，广告能够招来的客户已经饱和（广告不
起作用之类的）
选C （答案就就是广告不起作用。吐槽下这个题：Sales of telephones题目里面没说是那个部门的sale, 后面直接就出来个Mammoth Industriy, 说话忒不严密了，让人有各种猜想啊。。。）
4.  数学题
答案推测： 因为manufactures卖给retailers的价格也降
了好多。或者manufactures的成本在这个时候会因为什么
原因增加。
选D （“the manufacturers could often make more profit by not holding the promotions.”这句话是说“不促销赚得更多”，我开始理解的是“促销不赚钱”，给取反了~~多拐了个弯，想多了
）
5. 答案预测： support的理由可以有很多。比如有文字
记载的，到A.D.365年之后就没了之类的。。。
选B （此题做过。。。）

6. 答案预测：建立automated equipment的企业跟缴纳taxes and unemployment insurance的关联。

选A(这个关联离得好远啊~~)
