以下是引用vacationer在2005-9-12 11:03:00的发言:
The spraying of pesticides can be carefully planned, but accidents, weather conditions that could not be foreseen, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than they had anticipated.
(A) weather conditions that could not be foreseen, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than they had
(B) weather conditions that cannot be foreseen, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than
(C) unforeseeable weather conditions, and pilot errors are the cause of much larger deposits of spray than they had
(D) weather conditions that are not foreseeable, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than
(E) unforeseeable weather conditions, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than they had
B和D有什么不一样吗?
是选B吗?因为be foreseen是动词形式,是不是要比not foreseeable好一点呢? 好像感觉意思上也有些微不同。
同意babyface 的意见,选B。原因有二,一是原文中用了情态动词,一般正确答案中不省略;二是查了一下longman中foreseeable的用法:
foreseeable difficulties, events etc should be planned for because they are very likely to happen in the future The judge found that it was not foreseeable that the fuel would catch fire. foreseeable risk
觉得就像babyface说的,foreseeable和foresee意思有差别,foreseeable更多的是强调未来发生的可能性很大,而foresee则纯粹是一种预测。所以觉得应该选B。
9-Q2.
Kernland imposes a high tariff on the export of unprocessed cashew nuts in order to ensure that the nuts are sold to domestic processing plants. If the tariff were lifted and unprocessed were sold at world market prices, more farmers could profit by growing cashews. However, since all the processing plants are in urban areas, removing the tariff would seriously hamper the government ‘s effort to reduce urban unemployment over the next five years.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
- Some of the by-products of processing cashews are used for manufacturing plants and plastics
- Other countries in which cashews are processed subsidize their processing plants
- More people in kernland are engaged in farming cashews than in processing them
- Buying unprocessed cashews at lower than world market prices enables cashew processors in kernland to sell processed nuts at competitive prices
- A lack of profitable crops is driving an increasing number of small farmers in kernland off their land and into the cities
这题很搞啊,不明白
这题是选A吗?
题目说的是,高的出口关税限制了腰果只能在国内市场销售。如果拿掉高出口税,那么腰果可以国际市场价销售,更多腰果的农场会从中获得大利润。然而很多腰果的加工厂都在城市里,如果拿掉高出口税,会影响政府对将来5年的城市失业问题的控制。
A说了腰果的生产产出的副产品可以用于其它制造业,也就是说其实其他产业可能会提供出更多的就业机会。
不知道答案对不对。
应该选E。同意babyface对原文的解释,但是A不对,因为无论升降关税,这些副产品都有工厂生产,不是说原来没有,现在有了,所以增加了就业机会,我觉得A是无关选项。E是对的,因为原文说城市里的失业率增加是因为关税减了,腰果的价格高了,所以增加了他们的成本,阻碍了这些工厂的发展。E选项说原来关税高的时候,农民利润低,所以他们才大量进入城市,所以城市的剩余劳动力多。这就说明现在农民利润高了,所以他们没有进入城市的原因了,城市失业率自然会下降,从而削弱了原文结论。 |
