Question 10: Environmentalist: The use of snowmobiles in the vast park north of Milville creates unacceptable levels of air pollution and should be banned. Milville business spokesperson: Snowmobiling brings many out-of-towners to Milville in winter months, to the great financial benefit of many local residents. So, economics dictate that we put up with the pollution. Environmentalist: I disagree: A great many cross-country skiers are now kept from visiting Milville by the noise and pollution that snowmobiles generate. Environmentalist responds to the business spokesperson by doing which of the following? A. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome can derive from only one set of circumstances B. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome C. Maintaining that the benefit that the spokesperson desires could be achieved in greater degree by a different means D. Claiming that the spokesperson is deliberately misrepresenting the environmentalist’s position in order to be better able to attack it E. Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain group of people actually benefited those people Answer: Environmentalist认为snowmobiles带来环境污染 Milville business spokesperson认为snowmobiles能够让别的地方的人来Milville，从而带来经济利益 Environmentalist认为snowmobiles阻止人们来Milville，从而否决了snowmobiles能够带来经济利益的观点 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Question 11: Many people suffer an allergic reaction to certain sulfites, including those that are commonly added to wine as preservatives. However, since there are several wine makers who add sulfites to none of the wines they produce, people who would like to drink wine but are allergic to sulfites can drink wines produced by these wine makers without risking an allergic reaction to sulfites. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? 原文逻辑链： Preservatives in wine-> allergic reaction （原命题） 推出 No Preservatives in wine -> no reaction （否命题） 要使两者同时成立，实际上就是使两者互为充要条件。要找出能够证明 Allergic reaction-> Preservatives in wine成立的选项 也就是排除他因，排除Preservatives in wine以外的可能性 E选项满足此点
A. These wine makers have been able to duplicate the preservative effect produced by adding sulfites by means that do not involve adding any potentially allergenic substances to their wine. B. Not all forms of sulfite are equally likely to produce the allergic reactions. C. Wine is the only beverage to which sulfites are commonly added. D. Apart from sulfites, there are no substances commonly present in wine that give rise to an allergic reaction. E. Sulfites are not naturally present in the wines produced by these wine makers in amounts large enough to produce an allergic reaction in someone who drinks these wines. Answer: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Question 12: Which of the following most logically completes the passage? Concerned about financial well-being of its elderly citizens, the government of Runagia decided two years ago to increase by 20 percent the government-provided pension paid to all Runagians over 65. Inflation in the intervening period has been negligible, and the increase has been duly received by all eligible Runagians. Nevertheless, many of them are no better off financially than they were before the increase, in large part because ________. 老人的生活水平受以下因素影响： 政府补贴
通胀率
加其他因素 现在政府补贴提高，通胀率不变，而老人生活水平不变，则说明有其他因素在起作用，并对生活水平起降低的作用。 A. They rely entirely on the government pension for their income B. Runagian banks are so inefficient that it can take up to three weeks to cash a pension check C. They buy goods whose prices tend to rise especially fast in times of inflation D. The pension was increased when the number of elderly Runagians below the poverty level reached an all-time high E. In Runagia children typically supplement the income of elderly parents, but only by enough to provide them with a comfortable living Answer: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Question 18: Last year all refuse collected by Shelbyville city services was incinerated. This incineration generated a large quantity of residue ash. In order to reduce the amount of residue ash Shelbyville generates this year to half of last year’s total, the city has revamped its collection program. This year city services will separate for recycling enough refuse to reduce the number of truckloads of refuse to be incinerated to half of last year’s number. Which of the following is required for the revamped collection program to achieve its aim? The amount of residue ash= the number of truckloads of refuse to be incinerated * residue ash per truckload 现在the number of truckloads of refuse to be incinerated减少一半，要满足The amount of residue ash也减少一半，就要保证residue ash per truckload不能增加 A. This year, no materials that city services could separate for recycling will be incinerated. B. Separating recyclable materials from materials to be incinerated will cost Shelbyville less than half what it cost last year to dispose of the residue ash. C. Refuse collected by city services will contain a larger proportion of recyclable materials this year than it did last year. D. The refuse incinerated this year will generate no more residue ash per truckload incinerated than did the refuse incinerated last year. E. The total quantity of refuse collected by Shelbyville city services this year will be no greater than that collected last year. |
