我也在作阅读啊，呵呵，可以把我的总结贴出来，大家不要骂我差哦！

51. It can be inferred from the passage that the isotope record taken from ocean sediments would be less useful to researchers if which of the following were true? B

(A) It indicated that lighter isotopes of oxygen predominated at certain times.

(B) It had far more gaps in its sequence than the record taken from rocks on land.

(C) It indicated that climate shifts did not occur every 100,000 years.

(D) It indicated that the ratios of oxygen 16 and oxygen 18 in ocean water were not consistent with those found in fresh water.

(E) It stretched back for only a million years.

根据是第34行：Because of these advantages, sedimentary evidence can be dated with sufficient accuracy by radiometric methods to establish a precise chronology of the ice ages。只要否定了所说说的advantage，就能满足题目的要求。

52. According to the passage, which of the following is true of the ratios of oxygen isotopes in ocean sediments? C

(A) They indicate that sediments found during an ice age contain more calcium carbonate than sediments formed at other times.

(B) They are less reliable than the evidence from rocks on land in determining the volume of land ice.

(C) They can be used to deduce the relative volume of land ice that was present when the sediment was laid down.

(D) They are more unpredictable during an ice age than in other climatic conditions.

(E) They can be used to determine atmospheric conditions at various times in the past.

根据是第26行：The higher the ratio of oxygen 18 to oxygen 16 in a sedimentary specimen, the more land ice there was when the sediment was laid down

53. It can be inferred from the passage that precipitation formed from evaporated ocean water has B

(A) the same isotopic ratio as ocean water

(B) less oxygen 18 than does ocean water

(C) less oxygen 18 than has the ice contained in continental ice sheets

(D) a different isotopic composition than has precipitation formed from water on land

(E) more oxygen 16 than has precipitation formed from fresh water

根据是第18行：Because heavier isotopes tend to be left behind when water evaporates from the ocean surfaces, the remaining ocean water becomes progressively enriched in oxygen 18

54. It can be inferred from the passage that calcium carbonate shells E

(A) are not as susceptible to deterioration as rocks

(B) are less common in sediments formed during an ice age

(C) are found only in areas that were once covered by land ice

(D) contain radioactive material that can be used to determine a sediment’s isotopic composition

(E) reflect the isotopic composition of the water at the time the shells were formed

根据是第21行：The degree of enrichment can be determined by analyzing ocean sediments of the

period because these sediments are composed of calcium carbonate shells of marine organisms。

43. According to the passage, the public-sector workers who were most likely to belong to unions in 1977 were A

(A) professionals

(B) managers

(C) clerical workers

(D) service workers

(E) blue-collar workers

根据是：46 percent of government professionals, 比例最大。

44. The author cites union efforts to achieve a fully unionized work force (line 13-19) in order to account for why E

(A) politicians might try to oppose public-sector union organizing

(B) public-sector unions have recently focused on organizing women

(C) early organizing efforts often focused on areas where there were large numbers of workers

(D) union efforts with regard to public-sector clerical workers increased dramatically after 1975

(E) unions sometimes tried to organize workers regardless of the workers’ initial interest in unionization

根据是：这是The strategic reasoning解释的第二条原因，and, second, on the conviction that a fully unionized public work force meant power，在此之前说了but when there were large numbers involved or the clerical workers were the only unorganized group in a jurisdiction, the multi occupational unions would often try to organize them regardless of the workers’ initial receptivity

46. According to the passage, in the period prior to 1975, each of the following considerations helped determine whether a union would attempt to organize a certain group of clerical workers EXCEPT B

(A) the number of clerical workers in that group

(B) the number of women among the clerical workers in that group

(C) whether the clerical workers in that area were concentrated in one workplace or scattered over several workplaces

(D) the degree to which the clerical workers in that group were interested in unionization

(E) whether all the other workers in the same jurisdiction as that group of clerical workers were unionized

选项E的根据是第9行：but when there were large numbers involved or the clerical workers were the only unorganized group in a jurisdiction, the multi occupational unions would often try to organize them regardless of the workers’ initial receptivity；选项ACD的根据是第19行：In localities where clerical workers were few in number, were scattered in several workplaces, and expressed no interest in being organized, unions more often than not ignored them in the pre-1975 period。

47. The author states that which of the following is a consequence of the women’s movement of recent years?  C

(A) An increase in the number of women entering the work force

(B) A structural change in multioccupational public-sector unions

(C) A more positive attitude on the part of women toward unions

(D) An increase in the proportion of clerical workers that are women

(E) An increase in the number of women in administrative positions

根据是：42行：the women’s movement has succeeded in legitimizing the economic and political activism of women on their own behalf, thereby producing a more positive attitude toward unions

38. It can be inferred from the passage that in the early 1800’s children were generally regarded by their families as individuals who C

(A) needed enormous amounts of security and affection

(B) required constant supervision while working

(C) were important to the economic well-being of a family

(D) were unsuited to spending long hours in school

(E) were financial burdens assumed for the good of society

根据是：原文第11行：During the nineteenth century, she argues, the concept of the “useful” child who contributed to the family economy gave way…

39. Which of the following alternative explanations of the change in the cash value of children would be most likely to be put forward by sociological economists as they are described in the passage? B

(A) The cash value of children rose during the nineteenth century because parents began to increase their emotional investment in the upbringing of their children.

(B) The cash value of children rose during the nineteenth century because their expected earnings over the course of a lifetime increased greatly.

(C) The cash value of children rose during the nineteenth century because the spread of humanitarian ideals resulted in a wholesale reappraisal of the worth of an individual

(D) The cash value of children rose during the nineteenth century because compulsory education laws reduced the supply, and thus raised the costs, of available child labor.

(E) The cash value of children rose during the nineteenth century because of changes in the way negligence law assessed damages in accidental-death cases.

(A) review the literature in a new academic subfield

(C) contrast two approaches to analyzing historical change

(D) refute a traditional explanation of a social phenomenon

(E) encourage further work on a neglected historical topic

根据是：原文第10行：The transformation in social values implicit in juxtaposing these two incidents is the subject of Viviana Zelizer’s excellent book, Pricing the Priceless Child。后面全讲Zelizer如何
