[求助]GWD第一套的问题

1）MATHS第六题中x和y是内错角吗？如果不是内错角的话，是不是应该选C？

（对完数学的错题，有一种想撞墙的冲动，都是类似这种错误：3^3=81.平时觉得极其简单的东西竟然会错……好郁闷……一定要认真再认真！）

2）Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it was in any previous election.

a greater proportion than it was

a greater proportion than

a greater proportion than they have been

NN们给我讲一下这个题为什么选C吧？

3）The spacing of the four holes on a fragment of a bone flute excavated at a Neanderthal campsite is just what is required to play the third through sixth notes of the diatonic scale—the seven-note musical scale used in much of Western music since the Renaissance.  Musicologists therefore hypothesize that the diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians.

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

Bone flutes were probably the only musical instrument made by Neanderthals.

No musical instrument that is known to have used a diatomic scale is of an earlier date than the flute found at the Neanderthal campsite.

The flute was made from a cave-bear bone and the campsite at which the flute fragment was excavated was in a cave that also contained skeletal remains of cave bears.

Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale.

The cave-bear leg bone used to make the Neanderthal flute would have been long enough to make a flute capable of playing a complete diatonic scale.

同样，不明白……

4）Rivaling the pyramids of Egypt or even the ancient cities of the Maya as an achievement, the army of terra-cotta warriors created to protect Qin Shi Huang, China’s first emperor, in his afterlife is more than 2,000 years old and took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete them.

took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete it

took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete

这两个为什么要用前一个呢？

5）City Official:  At City Hospital, uninsured patients tend to have shorter stays and fewer procedures performed than do insured patients, even though insured patients, on average, have slightly less serious medical problems at the time of admission to the hospital than uninsured patients have.  Critics of the hospital have     concluded that the uninsured patients are mot receiving proper medical care.  However, this conclusion is almost certainly false.  Careful investigation has recently shown two things:  insured patients have much longer stays in the hospital than necessary, and they tend to have more procedures performed than are medically necessary.

In the city official’s argument, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles?

D .The first was used to support the conclusion drawn by hospital critics; the second provides support for the conclusion of the city official’s argument.

E. The first states the position that the city official’s argument opposes; the second states the conclusion of the city official’s argument.

（为什么不选D？第二段怎么会是CITY OFFICIAL的结论呢？这不是作者的结论吗？是用来支持CITY OFFICIAL的啊？）

6）To develop more accurate population forecasts, demographers have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economic determinants of fertility.

A.  have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economic

E.  would have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economical

(如果把A中的economic改成economical，两个选项选哪一个，为什么？即WOULD在这里是必需的吗？）

谢谢NN们给予指点！！
