22. GWD26-Q22

People who have spent a lot of time in contact with animals often develop animal-induced allergies, some of them quite serious. In a survey of current employees in major zoos, about 30 percent had animal-induced allergies. Based on this sample, experts conclude that among members of the general population who have spent a similarly large amount of time in close contact with animals, the percentage with animal-induced allergies is not 30 percent but substantially more.

Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest grounds for the experts’ conclusion?

A. A zoo employee who develops a serious animal-induced allergy is very likely to switch to some other occupation.

B. A zoo employee is more likely than a person in the general population to keep one or more animal pets at home

C. The percentage of the general population whose level of exposure to animals matches that of a zoo employee is quite small.

D. Exposure to domestic pets is, on the whole, less likely to cause animal-induced allergy than exposure to many of the animals kept in zoos.

E. Zoo employees seldom wear protective gear when they handle animals in their care.

GWD26-Q20：

A 到1997年他们已经，说的好像是，在1997年已经不是每天工作六个小时了。另外我感觉不应该用分号，因为前后句子说的是同一个事，同样的主语，进行对比。（我的GWD上说they指代歧义，我认为没有问题，请达人指正。）
B the figure 正确答案偏好词
C 前后句式不对称（形式上不对称，意思上也不对称，某人干某事跟一个频率对称了…），而且用被动不好（造成施事者不明）。
D compared with比较对象不对称,chores与figure的比较错误。
E 句意改变。

21. GWD-23-Q37
因为用到了since表示时间状态，所以应该用现在完成时，所以b排除。
movement of goods and services, movement是主语，第三人称单数，所以A用的have become错了。

To the public at large, trade is the most obvious manifestation of a globalising world economy.这一段是The Economist上的原话
