26. When a polygraph test is judged inconclusive, this is
no reflection on the examinee. Rather, such a
judgment means that the test has failed to show
whether the examinee was truthful or untruthful.
Nevertheless, employers will sometimes refuse to
hire a job applicant because of an inconclusive
polygraph test result.
Which of the following conclusions can most properly
be drawn from the information above?
(A) Most examinees with inconclusive polygraph
test results are in fact untruthful.
(B) Polygraph tests should not be used by
employers in the consideration of job applicants.
(C) An inconclusive polygraph test result is
sometimes unfairly held against the examinee.
(D) A polygraph test indicating that an examinee is
untruthful can sometimes be mistaken.
(E) Some employers have refused to consider the
results of polygraph tests when evaluating job
applicants.

28. The technological conservatism of bicycle
manufacturers is a reflection of the kinds of demand
they are trying to meet. The only cyclists seriously
interested in innovation and willing to pay for it are
bicycle racers. Therefore, innovation in bicycle
technology is limited by what authorities will accept as
standard for purposes of competition in bicycle races.
Which of the following is an assumption made in
drawing the conclusion above?
(A) The market for cheap, traditional bicycles
cannot expand unless the market for highperformance
competition bicycles expands.
(B) High-performance bicycles are likely to be
improved more as a result of technological
innovations developed in small workshops than
as a result of technological innovations
developed in major manufacturing concerns.
(C) Bicycle racers do not generate a strong demand
for innovations that fall outside what is officially
recognized as standard for purposes of
competition.
(D) The technological conservatism of bicycle
manufacturers results primarily from their desire
to manufacture a product that can be sold
without being altered to suit different national
markets.
(E) The authorities who set standards for highperformance
bicycle racing do not keep
informed about innovative bicycle design.

38. Which of the following best completes the passage
below?
The computer industry’s estimate that it loses millions
of dollars when users illegally copy programs without
paying for them is greatly exaggerated. Most of the
illegal copying is done by people with no serious
interest in the programs. Thus, the loss to the industry
is quite small, because .
(A) many users who illegally copy programs never
find any use for them
(B) most people who illegally copy programs would
not purchase them even if purchasing them were
the only way to obtain them
(C) even if the computer industry received all the
revenue it claims to be losing, it would still be
experiencing financial difficulties
(D) the total market value of all illegal copies is low
in comparison to the total revenue of the
computer industry
(E) the number of programs that are frequently
copied illegally is low in comparison to the
number of programs available for sale

51. One variety of partially biodegradable plastic beverage
container is manufactured from small bits of plastic
bound together by a degradable bonding agent such
as cornstarch. Since only the bonding agent degrades,
leaving the small bits of plastic, no less plastic refuse
per container is produced when such containers are
discarded than when comparable nonbiodegradable
containers are discarded.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the
argument above?
(A) Both partially biodegradable and nonbiodegradable
plastic beverage containers
can be crushed completely flat by refuse
compactors.
(B) The partially biodegradable plastic beverage
containers are made with more plastic than
comparable nonbiodegradable ones in order to
compensate for the weakening effect of the
bonding agents.
(C) Many consumers are ecology-minded and
prefer to buy a product sold in the partially
biodegradable plastic beverage containers
rather than in nonbiodegradable containers,
even if the price is higher.
(D) The manufacturing process for the partially
biodegradable plastic beverage containers
results in less plastic waste than the
manufacturing process for nonbiodegradable
plastic beverage containers.
(E) Technological problems with recycling currently
prevent the reuse as food or beverage
containers of the plastic from either type of
plastic beverage container.

no less plastic refuse
per container is produced when such containers are
discarded than when comparable nonbiodegradable
containers are discarded.

54. Journalist: In late 1994, the present government of the
Republic of Bellam came into power. Each year since
then, about thirty journalists have been imprisoned for
printing articles that criticize the government. In 1994,
under the old government, only six journalists were
imprisoned for criticizing the government. So the old
government was more tolerant of criticism by the
press than the new one is.
Politician: But in 1994 only six journalists criticized the
government, and now journalists routinely do.
The politician challenges the journalist’s argument by
doing which of the following?
(A) Presenting data that extend further into the past
than the journalist’s data
(B) Introducing evidence that undermines an
assumption of the journalist’s argument
(C) Questioning the accuracy of the evidence
presented in support of the journalist’s
conclusion
(D) Pointing out that the argument illegitimately
draws a general conclusion on the basis of a
sample of only a few cases
(E) Stating that the argument treats information
about some members of a group as if it applied
to all members of that group

当测谎仪结果不确定时，对检测没有有效反应。这种不确定的结果不能反应 测谎对象是真的还是假的。然而，一些老板有的时候会因为这种不确定的测谎结果 拒绝一些应聘者
求推论
(C) An inconclusive polygraph test result is sometimes unfairly held against the examinee.
不确定结果的测谎 有时 对检测是不公平的
因为没有反应到底是真是假，所以老板因这种结果拒绝应聘者是不公平的

自行车技术革新是对需求的反应（市场需求什么样的车，厂商就试图满足需求去生产这种车）。 唯一的关心创新和愿意购买的车是比赛用的车。因此，车的创新是由 组织赛车的官方允许的赛车标准 决定的。（官方规定用什么样的赛车，赛车手就需要什么车，厂商就按需求去做）
求结论
(C) Bicycle racers do not generate a strong demand for innovations that fall outside what is officially recognized as standard for purposes of
competition.
赛车手对官方标准以外的车没有需求。
说明他们只需要以官方标准做出来的车，这样把 “官方标准”和“厂商做车标准”就联系起来了
