CR:
1. Argument:
Trucks transport timber
environmental concerns (road damage and large space occupied by trucks)
-> Government proposed logging companies to use helicopter to transport instead
Weaken?
What if helicopter causing the same environmental problems as trucks? cutting down trees to land and take off.
=> C
2. Argument:
To reduce # of cyclists on the road and encourage cycling -> G built a lane
# cycling trips increase sig, most cyclist use new lane.
BUT # cyclists on the road not decreased.
Evaluate?
Maybe it's because cyclists have no other choice but to take the road (the only way to reach their destination)
=> C
RC:
P1:
Volcano plains and rises on Venus -> basaltic lava flows, marked by canali (500-6800km in length).
Their creation: mystery. but canali: simple explaination, suggest a source different from basaltic lava
P2:
A research by Baker in 1992: canali formed by a low viscocity fluid.
However, author denies the possiblity that basaltic or komatitic is candidates due to quick solidification.
Alternative research: insultating covers or subsurface flows retard the cooling process.
BUT: why canali's meandering paths is unclear.
P3:
Liquid sulfur, carbonate lava, water: potential canali forming liquid.
These lavas could emerge from burial and weathering of basalt rock near the surface.
(Sulfur: unlikely, Carbonate: possible)
=> Canali on Venus and theories on its formation.
DI:
1. B
2. B
3. D. Despite hefty development price
4. B.
RC:
文章结构:
Para 1:引出问题——canali的形成之谜,同时否认了其形成方式与basalic lava玄武质熔岩一致的可能性,即通过快速冷却形成该种地貌,并且将可能的原因落在了一种可以在venus大气条件下长距离移动的fluid
Para 2:1992年baker的研究暗示原因可能是存在一种低黏度的流,且要么温度极高,要么熔点在金星的温度附近。否定了basalic lava或koma岩的可能性,因为固化过快。其他的理论暗示insulating cover或subsurface flow可能contribute这一过程。但任何这些都无法彻底解释清楚形成过程。
Para 3:提出其他几种液体假设。Liquid sulfur蒸发太快,富碳岩有可能

我的答案:BBBA
正确答案:BBBB
第四题推断题:How might the founder's approach to distributing development costs affect the company's financial reporting for "Dynasty Quest"?
A) It would show increased profits for "Dynasty Quest."
B) It would dilute the apparent development costs of "Dynasty Quest.
错因:审错题了,我没看到问的是founder的这个策略的影响,应该在tab3里面找,我在tab1里面找的是投资人的视角,原文里说可以把这个游戏开发的钱分到其他便宜的游戏上,来占领市场,选B
Dulite 稀释(这个词可以很好的概括这个策略)
第二题:细节题According to the passage, what characteristics of canali challenges existing theories?
B)Their consistent width along their entire length.
C)The rapid cooling of basaltic lavas on Venus.
错因:这题搞错了对象,题目问的是calani的特点,我选的C是lavas的特点(原文第二段Basaltic and komatiitic lavas are unlikely candidates due to their quick solidification.)
B里面的在第一段里有提到,其实我主要错是因为他说chanllenge已有理论,然后研究主要是第二段开始的,就忽略了主体
第三题推断题 What can be inferred about the fluid responsible for forming canali?
A) It likely had properties different from those of typical basaltic lava.
C) It was possibly a carbonate-rich lava based on its viscosity and melting point.
啊啊啊这题我感觉C也没啥问题?因为最后原文说Carbonate-rich lavas, however, have the right properties-low viscosity, high erosive potential, and suitable melting temperatures. 是因为没有说high erosive potential所以错误了嘛
第四题观点题
Which statement would the author most likely agree with regarding the formation of canali?
C) Theories about liquid sulfur as a canali-forming liquid are unfounded.
E) Subsurface flows are unlikely to create the observed canali patterns
这题我选了C,错选原因是因为原文里提到了liquid sulfur不能是forming的原因,C的后半段是对的,但是关于这件事情原文并没有理论,所以theories根本不存在?
E的信息在倒数第二段 subsurface flows might retard the cooling process, butwhether these could result in the canali’ s meandering paths is unclear.
