A-4 At one time, European and Japanese companies tried to imitate their American rivals. Today, American appliance manufacturers import European scientists to lead their research staffs; American automakers design cars that mimic the styling of German, Italian, and French imports; and American electronics firms boast in their advertising of “Japanese-style” devotion to quality and reliability. In the world of high technology, America has lost the battle for international prestige.

Each of the following statements, if true, would help to support the claim above EXCEPT:

(A) An American camera company claims in its promotional literature to produce cameras “as fine as the best Swiss imports.”

(B) An American maker of stereo components designs its products to resemble those of a popular Japanese firm.

(C) An American manufacturer of video games uses a brand name chosen because it sounds like a Japanese word.

(D) An American maker of televisions studies German-made televisions in order to adopt German manufacturing techniques.（E）

(E) An American maker of frozen foods advertises its dinners as “Real European-style entrees prepared by fine French and Italian chefs.”

我选了B  我觉得他是说美国模仿其他国家 那B中是说他制造的stereo是为了配合日本的卡带 只能说是迎合市场  为什么也是模仿呢

B-3.     Which of the following best completes the passage below?

In opposing government regulation of business, conservatives often appeal to the Jeffersonian ideal of limited government, expressing the wish that government would “get off the backs of the American people.” Yet, paradoxically, many of these same conservatives address questions of private morality, such as those dealing with sexual behavior, by calling for______

(A) a return to the restrictive sexual morality of the Victorian era

(B) a strengthening of the role of the family in setting moral norms for society

(C) a limitation on the amount of sexually provocative material appearing in books, motives, and television shows

(D) greater freedom for individuals to choose their own way of handling sexual issues（E）

(E) an increased governmental role in the regulation and control of private sexual behavior

虽然说 E的regulation和提干中是一致的 但是我觉得 题目是在希望政府限制一些方面啊 为什么说C是不对的呢

B-14As an experienced labor organizer and the former head of one of the nation’s most powerful labor unions, Grayson is an excellent choice to chair the new council on business-labor relations.

Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion above?

(A) The new council must have the support of the nation’s labor leaders if it is to succeed.

(B) During his years as a labor leader, Grayson established a record of good relations with business leaders.

(C) The chair of the new council must be a person who can communicate directly with the leaders of the nation’s largest labor unions.

(D) Most of the other members of the new council will be representatives of business management interests.（E）

(E) An understanding of the needs and problems of labor is the only qualification necessary for the job of chairing the new council.

E中的the only 是不是显得太绝对了呢??....阅读里面看见the only基本就是错的 RC中有这个说法吗

       B-16 Some commentators complain that a “litigation explosion” in the past decade has led to unreasonably high costs for U.S. businesses by encouraging more product liability suits against manufacturers. However, these complaints are based mainly on myth. Statistics show that the number of successful product liability suits has remained almost the same, and the average sum awarded in damages has grown no faster than the inflation rate.

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument above?

(A) The number of unsuccessful suits has skyrocketed, imposing huge new legal expenses on businesses.

(B) Several of the largest awards ever made in product liability cases occurred within the last two years.

(C) The rise of the consumer movement has encouraged citizens to seek legal redress for product flaws.

(D) Lawyers often undertake product liability cases on a contingency basis, so their payment is based on the size of the damages awarded.（A）

(E) Juries often award damages in product liability suits out of emotional sympathy for an injured consumer.

这个不太平白 希望有牛牛来解释下哦 谢谢的说啊

B-17.   Ronald: According to my analysis of the national economy, housing prices should not increase during the next six months unless interest rates drop significantly.

Mark: I disagree. One year ago, when interest rates last fell significantly, housing prices did not increase at all.

It can be inferred from the conversation above that Mark has interpreted Ronald’s statement to mean that

(A) housing prices will rise only if interest rates fall

(B) if interest rates fall, housing prices must rise

(C) interest rates and housing prices tend to rise and fall together

(D) interest rates are the only significant economic factor affecting housing prices（B）

(E) interest rates are likely to fall significantly in the next six months

我觉得R是说,除非利息跌,房价本不会涨的,  M说但是一年前利息跌了,房价一点也没涨啊....

那为什么选了B 呢 M明明是说 not increase at al 啊 ...

大全A4：
B：这里resemble 是模仿的意思，不是迎合，所以错了。
