Q23: GWD-11-33

After more than four decades of research and development, a new type of jet engine is being tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help boost cargoes into space at significantly lower costs than current methods permit.

A.       tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help
B.        tested that could eventually have the capability of propelling aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or to help
C.        tested, eventually able to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours, or helping

D.       tested, and it eventually could propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or helping

E.        tested, and it could eventually have the capability to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help

这题又选Ａ了？那我岂不是在有限的正确题目情况下，有多一题正确的？

Q29这题我同意选a

原文的推理线是这样的：前提：河流把盐分带到海洋里，结论：通过几百年的河流导致的海洋盐分增加可以推出几个世纪海洋有多少盐分增加，从而最后得出到底是几个世纪。

所以，可以看出来，原文是用几百年的盐分增加推出从最初没有到现在这么多盐分要花几个世纪。相当于一道数学题，(b-a)/t1=(b-0)/t2，知道b,a,t1，求t2

这中间有一个gap，就是a选项The quantities of dissolved salts deposited by rivers in the Earth’s oceans have not been unusually large during the past hundred years.取非后，我们就不能用几百年的数据去推算几个世纪了，因为这几百年的数据没有代表性，他们是不正常的，所以不能作为推理的依据。

再看e选项，use up是“ 耗光，用尽”的意思，就是说进入海洋的盐分没有完全被海洋的生物活动耗光，这与原来的推理过程是无关的，只能说明海洋里留了一部分从河流带过来的盐，如果这种生物活动几个世纪以来都是不变的话，有或者没有这种生物活动一样可以用上面的公式推出海洋的最大年限，所以这不是假设。

不知我说的明不明白，待讨论

24-20 According to a 1996 survey by the National Association of College an University Business Officers, more than three times as many independent institutions of higher education charge tuition and fees of under $8,000 a year than those that charge over $16,000.

A) than those that charge

B) than are charging

C) than to charge

D) as charge

E) as those charging

这题选E 没有问题了吧？有没有讨论D正确的？

我选E 因为觉得比较的是主语，不是维语。those和前面的主语不一样，一定要补出。charging xxxx作为定语修饰those。

24-22 Often patients with ankle fractures that are stable, and thus do not require surgery, are given follow-up x-ray because their orthopedists are concerned about possibly having misjudged the stability of the fracture. When number of follow-up x-rays were reviewed, however, all the fractures that had initially been judged stable were found to have healed correctly. Therefore, it is a waste of money to order follow-up x-rays of ankle fracture initially judged stable.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

A)    Doctors who are general practitioners rather than orthopedists are less likely than orthopedists to judge the stability of an ankle fracture correctly.

B)     Many ankle injuries for which an initial x-ray is ordered are revealed by the x-ray not to involve any fracture of the ankle.

C)    X-rays of patients of many different orthopedists working in several hospitals were reviewed.

D)    The healing of ankle fractures that have been surgically repaired is always checked by means of a follow-up x-ray.

E)     Orthopedists routinely order follow-up x-rays for fractures of bone other than ankle bones.

这题确认一下，是什么？

24-24 Many winemakers use cork stoppers; but cork stoppers can leak, crumble, or became moldy, so that those winemakers must often discard a significant proportion of their inventory of bottled wine. Bottlemaster plastic stoppers, which cannot leak, crumble, or mold, have long been available to winemakers, at a price slightly higher than that of traditional cork stoppers. Cork prices, however are expected to rise dramatically in the near future. Clearly, therefore, winemakers who still use cork but wish to keep production costs from rising will be forced to reconsider plastic stoppers. And since the wine-buying public’s association of plastic stoppers with poor-quality wine is weakening, there is an excellent chance that the Bottlemaster plastic stopper will gain an increased share of the market for wine-bottle stoppers.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

A)    The first is a judgment that has been advanced in support of a position that the argument opposes; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.

B)     The first is a judgment that has been advanced in support of a position that the argument opposes; the second is conclusion drawn in order to support the main conclusion of the argument.

C)    The first is the main conclusion of the argument; the second provides evidence in support of that main conclusion.

D)    The first is the main conclusion of the argument; the second is a restatement of that main conclusion.

E)     The first is a conclusion drawn in order to support the main conclusion of the argument; the second is that main conclusion.

GWD24-12第二篇阅读，大家都选B吗？我错选了C。

In a 1918 editorial, W.E.B. Du Bois advised African Americans to stop agitating for equality and to proclaim the solidarity with White Americans for the duration of the First World War. The editorial surprised many Africa Americans who viewed Du Bois as an uncompromising African American leader and a chief opponent of the (10) accommodationist tactics urged by Booker, T. Washington. In fact, however, Du Bois often shifted positions along the continuum between Washington and confrontationists (15) such as William Trotter. In 1895, when Washington called on African Americans to concentrate on improving their communities instead of opposing discrimination and agitating for (20) political rights, Du Bois praised Washington’s speech. In 1903, however, Du Bois aligned himself with Trotter Washington’s militant opponent, less for ideological reasons (25) than because Trotter had described to him Washington’s efforts to silence those in the African American press who opposed Washington’s positions.(20)reflected not a change in his long-term goals but rather a pragmatic response in the face of social pressure government officials had threatened African Americans’ contributions to past war efforts had brought them some legal and political (40) advances. Du Bois’ accommodationism did not last, however. Upon learning of(/on?) systematic discrimination experienced by African Americans in the military, he called on them to “return fighting” from the war.

24-25: According to the passage, which of the following is true of the strategy that Du Bois’ 1918 editorial urged African Americans to adopt during the First World War?

A) It was a strategy that Du Bois had consistently rejected in the past.

B) It represented a compromise between Du Bois’ own views and those of Trotter.

C) It represented a significant redefinition of the long-term goals Du Bois held prior to the war.

D) It was advocated by Du Bois in response to his recognition of the discrimination faced by African Americans during the war.

E) It was advocated by Du Bois in part because of his historical knowledge of gains African Americans had made during past wars.

24-26: The passage is primarily concerned with

A) identifying historical circumstances that led Du Bois to alter his long-term goals.

B) defining “accommodationism” and showing how Du Bois used this strategy to achieve certain goals.

C) accounting for a particular position adopted by Du Bois during the First World War.

D) contesting the view that Du Bois was significantly influenced by either Washington or Trotter.

E) assessing the effectiveness of a strategy that Du Bois urged African Americans to adopt.

24-27: The passage indicates which of the following about Du Bois’ attitude toward Washington?

A) It underwent a shift during the First World War as Du Bois became more sympathetic with Trotter’s views.

B) It underwent a shift in 1903 for reasons other than Du Bois’ disagreement with Washington’s accommodationist views.

C) It underwent a shift as Du Bois make a long-term commitment to the strategy of accommodation.

D) It remained consistently positive even though Du Bois disagreed with Washington’s efforts to control the African American press.

E) It was shaped primarily by Du Bois’ appreciation of Washington’s pragmatic approach to the advancement of the interests of African Americans.

这篇我错蛮多的。

In most earthquakes the Earth’s crust cracks like porcelain. Stress builds up until a fracture forms at a depth of a few kilometers and the crust slips to relieve the stress. Some earthquakes, however, take place hundreds of kilometers down in the Earth’s mantle, where high pressure makes rock so ductile that it flows instead of cracking, even under stress severe enough to deform it like putty. How can there be earthquakes at such depths?

That such deep events do occur has been accepted only since 1927, when the seismologist Kiyoo Wadati convincingly demonstrated their existence. Instead of comparing the arrival times of seismic waves at different locations, as earlier researchers had done, Wadati relied on a time difference between the arrival of primary (P) waves and the slower secondary (S) waves. Because P and S waves travel at different but fairly constant speeds, the interval between their arrivals increases in proportion to the distance from the earthquake focus, or initial rupture point. For most earthquakes, Wadati discovered, the interval was quite short near the epicenter; the point on the surface where shaking is strongest. For a few events, however, the delay was long even at the epicenter. Wadati saw a similar pattern when he analyzed data on the intensity of shaking. Most earthquakes had a small area of intense shaking, which weakened rapidly with increasing distance from the epicenter, but others were characterized by a lower peak intensity, felt over a broader area. Both the P-S intervals and the intensity patterns suggested two kinds of earthquakes: the more (45) common shallow events, in which the focus lay just under the epicenter, and deep events, with focus several hundred kilometers down.

The question remained: how can such quakes occur, given that mantle rock at a depth of more than 50 kilometers is too ductile to store enough stress to fracture? Wadati’s work suggested that deep events occur in areas (now called Wadati-Benioff zones), where one crustal plate is forced under another and descends into the mantle. The descending rock is substantially cooler than the surrounding mantle and hence is less ductile and much more liable to fracture.

24-30 The author’s explanation of how deep events occur would be most weakened if which of the following were discovered to be true?

A) Deep events are far less common than shallow events.

B) Deep events occur in places other than where crustal plates meet.

C) Mantle rock is more ductile at a depth of several hundred kilometers than it is at 50 kilometers.

D) The speeds of both P and S waves are slightly greater than previously thought.

E) Below 650 kilometers earthquakes cease to occur.

我觉得这题C才对。

答案是B

今天GWD 24， 错了8个，因为逻辑少了2题，所以不准。但是奇怪，我一向SC错误大王，这套我却觉得SC比较简单。错了2题SC，一题还是粗心。RC一如既往地猛错，4个。逻辑这次不行，错了3个。

大家讨论下阅读吧。晚上回家后我来看讨论。

谢谢。
