Nineteenth-century scholars, by examining earlier geometric Greek art, found that classical Greek art was not a magical ______ or a brilliant ______ blending Egyptian and Assyrian art, but was independently evolved by Greeks in Greece.4. Their mutual teasing seemed ______, but in fact it ______ a long-standing hostility.5． The astronomer and feminist Maria Mitchell’s own prodigious activity and the vigor of the Association for the Advancement of Women during the 1870’s ______ any assertion that feminism was ______ in that period.Questions 6 to 7 are based on the following reading passage.From the 1900’s through the 1950’s waitresses in the United States develo ped a form of unionism based on the unions’ defining the skills that their occupation included and enforcing standards for the performance of those skills. This “occupational unionism” differed substantially from the “worksite unionism” preva lent among factory workers. Rather than unionizing the workforces of particular employers, waitress locals soughtto control their occupation throughout a city. Occupational unionism operated through union hiring halls, which provided free placement services to employers who agreed to hire their personnel only through the union. Hiring halls offered union waitresses collective employment security, not individual job security—a basic protection offered by worksite unions. That is, when a waitress lost her job, the local did not intervene with her employer but placed her elsewhere; and when jobs were scarce, the work hours available were distributed fairly among all members rather than being assigned according to seniority.6. The primary purpose of the passage is to(A) analyze a current trend in relation to the past(B) discuss a particular solution to a long-standing problem(C) analyze changes in the way that certain standards have been enforced(D) apply a generalization to an unusual situation(E) describe an approach by contrasting it with another approach7. The author of the passage mentions “particular employers” (line 5) primarily in order to(A) suggest that occupational unions found some employers difficult to satisfy(B) indicate that the occupational unions served some employers but not others(C) emphasize the unique focus of occupational unionism(D) accentuate the hostility of some employers toward occupational unionism(E) point out a weakness of worksite unionismQuestions 8 to 9 are based on the following reading passage.The dark regions in the starry night sky are not pockets in the universe that are devoid of stars as had long been thought. Rather, they are dark because of interstellar dust that hides the stars behind it. Although its visual effect is so pronounced, dust is only a minor constituent of the material, extremely low in density, that lies between the stars. Dust accounts for about one percent of the total mass of interstellar matter. The rest is hydrogen and helium gas, with small amounts of other elements. The interstellar material, rather like terrestrial clouds, comes in all shapes and sizes. The average density of interstellar material in the vicinity of our Sun is 1,000 to 10,000 times less than the best terrestrial laboratory vacuum. It is only because of the enormous interstellar distances that so little material per unit of volume becomes so significant. Optical astronomy ismost directly affected, for although interstellar gas is perfectly transparent, the dust is not. For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.8. It can be inferred from the passage that the density of interstellar material is(A) equal to that of interstellar dust(B) unusually low in the vicinity of our Sun.(C) not homogeneous throughout interstellar space.9. Select a sentence in the passage which gives the reason why stars can be obscured even by very sparsely distributed matter.For Questions 10 to 13, select the two answer choices that, when used to complete the sentence, fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole and produce completed sentences that are alike in meaning.10. Industrialists seized economic power only after industry had______agriculture as the preeminent form of production; previously such power had resided in land ownership.(A) sabotaged(B) overtaken(C) toppled(D) joined(E) supplanted(F) surrogated11. Many industries are so______ by the impact of government sanctions, equipment failure, and foreign competition that they are beginning to rely on industrial psychologists to salvage what remains of employee morale.(A) estranged(B) beleaguered(C) overruled(D) encouraged(E) restrained(F) besieged12. Not wishing to appear ______, the junior member of the research group refrained fromventuring any criticism of the senior members’ plan f or dividing up responsibility for the entire project.(A) reluctant(B) inquisitive(C) presumptuous(D) pretentious(E) censorious(F) moralistic13. The natures of social history and lyric poetry are antithetical , social history always recounting the ______and lyric poetry speaking for unchanging human nature, that timeless essence beyond fashion and economics.(A) bygone(B) evanescent(C) unnoticed(D) unalterable(E) transitory(F) eternalQuestions 14-16 are based on the following passage.The 1973 Endangered Species Act made into legal policy the concept that endangered species of wildlife are precious as part of a natural ecosystem. The nearly unanimous passage of this act in the United States Congress, reflection the rising national popularity of environmentalism, masked a bitter debate. Affected industries clung to the former wildlife policy of valuing individual species according to their economic usefulness. They fought to minimize the law’s impact by limiting definitions of k ey terms. But they lost on nearly every issue. The act defined “wildlife” as almost all kinds of animals—from large mammals to invertebrates—and plants. “Taking” wildlife was defined broadly as any action that threatened an endangered species; areas vital to a species’ survival could be federally protected as “critical habitats”. Though these definitions legislated strong environmentalist goals, political compromises made in the enforcement of the act were to determine just what economic interests would be set aside for the sake of ecological stabilization.For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.14. According to the passage, all of the following statements are defined as a “critical habitat” EXCEPT(A) A natural ecosystem that is threatened by imminent development(B) A natural area that is crucial to the survival of a species and thus eligible for federal protection.(C) A wilderness area in which the “taking” of wildlife species is permitted rarely and only under strict federal regulation15. It can be inferred from the passage that if business interests had won the debate on provisions of the 1973 Endangered Species Act, which of the following would have resulted(A) Environmentalist concepts would not have become widely popular.(B) The definitions of key terms of the act would have been more restricted.(C) Enforcement of the act would have been more difficult.(D) The act would have had stronger support from Congressional leaders.(E) The public would have boycotted the industries that had the greatest impact in defining the act.16. The author refers to the terms “wildlife” (line 11), “taking” (line 13), and “critical habitats” (line 16) most likely in o rder to(A) illustrate the misuse of scientific language and concepts in political processes(B) emphasize the importance of selecting precise language in transforming scientific concepts into law(C) represent terminology whose definition was crucial in writing environmentalist goals into law(D) demonstrate the triviality of the issues debated by industries before Congress passed the Endangered Species Act(E) show that broad definitions of key terms in many types of laws resulted in ambiguity and thus left room for disagreement about how the law should be enforcedQuestions 17-19 are based on the following passage.Allen and Wolkowitz’s research challenges the common claim that homework-waged labor performed women worker’s needs and preferences. By focusing on a limited geographical area in order to gather in-depth information, the authors have avoided the methodological pitfalls that have plagued earlier research on homework. Their findings disprove accepted notions about homeworkers: that they are unqualified for other jobs and that they use homework as a short-term strategy for dealing with child care. The authors conclude that the persistence of homework cannot be explained by appeal to such notions, for in fact, homeworkers do not differ sharply from other employed women. Most homeworkers would prefer to work outside the home but are constrained from doing so by lack of opportunity. In fact, homework is driven by employers’ desires to minimize fixed costs: homeworkers receive no benefits and are paid less than regular employees.17. The passage is primarily concerned with(A) advocating a controversial theory(B) presenting and challenging the results of a study(C) describing a problem and proposing a solution(D) discussing research that opposes a widely accepted belief(E) comparing several explanations for the same phenomenonFor the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.and Wolkowitz’s research suggests which of following statements are true about most homeworkers(A) They do not necessarily resort to homework as a strategy for dealing with child care.(B) They perform professional-level duties rather than manual tasks or piecework.(C) They do not prefer homework to employment outside the home.19. The ratio of divorces to marriage has increased since 1940. Therefore, there must be a greater proportion of children living with only one natural parent than there was in 1940.Which of the following, if true, most strongly weakens the inference drawn aboveA. the number of marriages entered into by women twenty-five to thirty-five years old has decreased since 1940.B. when there is a divorce, children are often given the option of deciding which parent they will live with.C. since 1940 the average number of children in a family has remained approximately steady and has not been subject to wide fluctuations.D. before 1940 relatively few children whose parents had both died were adopted into single-parent families.E. the proportion of children who must be raised by one parent because the other has died has decreased since 1940 as a result of medical advances.For Questions 20, select one entry for each blank from the corresponding column of choices. Fill all blanks in the way that best completes the text.20. Scientists (i)___________ disposition (ii)____________ the impact of human activities on climate has been greatly mitigated-- perhaps even counterbalanced—by the natural trend over the past several centuries toward much cooler weather. This optimistic conclusion seems unrealistic to other scientists, who find it difficult to believe either that the greenhouse effect could be (iii)_________, or that such a fortunate combination of event is likely.Sect ion 5For Questions 1 to 4, select one entry for each blank from the corresponding column of choices. Fill all blanks in the way that best completes the text.1. The current demand for quality in the schools seems to ask not for the development of informed and active citizens, but for disciplined and productive workers with abilities that contribute to civic life only _______, if at all.(A) indirectly(B) politically(C) intellectually(D) sensibly(E) sequentially2. Certain weeds that flourish among rice crops resist detection until maturity by ______ the seedling stage in the rice plant’s life cycle, thereby remainingindistinguishable from the rice crop until the flowering stage.(A) deterring(B) displacing(C) augmenting(D) imitating(E) nurturing3. A major goal of law, to deter potential criminals by punishing wrongdoers, is not served when the penalty is so seldom invoked that it______to be a ______threat.4. Doreen justifiably felt she deserved recognition for the fact that the research institute had been ________a position of preeminence, since it was she who had ________ the transformation.Proportionally, more persons diagnosed as having the brain disorder schizophrenia were born in the winter months than at any other time of year. A recent study suggeststhat the cause may have been the nutrient-poor diets of some expectant mothers during the coldest months of the year, when it was hardestfor people’s to get, or afford, a variety of fresh foods.5. Which of the following, if true, helps to support the conclusion presented aboveA. over the years the number of cases of schizophrenia has not shown a correlation with degree of economic distress.B. most of the development of brain areas affected in schizophrenia occurs during the last month of the mother’s pregnancy.C. suicide rates are significantly higher in winter than in any other season.D. the nutrients in fresh foods have the same effects on the development of the brain as do the nutrients in preserved foods.E. a sizable proportion of the patients involved in the study have a history of schizophrenia in the family.Questions 6 to 7 are based on the following passage.Upwards of a billion stars in our galaxy have burnt up their internal energy sources, and so can no longer produce the heat a star needs to oppose the inward force of gravity. These stars, of more than a few solar masses, evolve, in general, much more rapidly than does a star like the Sun. Moreover, it is just these more massive stars whose collapse does not halt at intermediate stages (that is, as white dwarfs or neutron stars). Instead, the collapse continues until a singularity (an infinitely dense concentration of matter) is reached. It would be wonderful to observe a singularity and obtain direct evidence of the undoubtedly bizarre phenomena that occur near one. Unfortunately in most cases a distant observer cannot see the singularity; outgoing light rays are dragged back by gravity so forcefully that even if they could start out within a few kilometersof the singularity, they would end up in the singularity itself6. the passage suggests which of the following about the Sun(A) the Sun could evolve to a stage of collapse that is less dense than a singularity.(B) in the Sun, the inward force of gravity is balanced by the generation of heat.(C) the sun emits more observable light than does a white dwarf or a neutron star.7. which of the following sentences would most probably follow the last sentence of the passage(A) thus, a physicist interested in studying phenomena near singularities would necessarily hope to find a singularity with a measureable gravitational field.(B) accordingly, physicists to date have been unable to observe directly any singularity.(C) it is specifically this startling phenomenon that has allowed us to codify the scant information currently available about singularities.(D) moreover, the existence of this extra ordinary phenomenon is implied in the extensive reports of several physicists.(E) although unanticipated, phenomena such as these are consistent with the structure of a singularity.Questions 8 to 9 are based on the following passage.The transfer of heat and water vapor from the ocean to the air above it depends on a disequilibrium at the interface of the water and the air. Within about a millimeter of the water, air temperature is close to that of the surface water, and the air is nearly saturated with water vapor. But the differences, however small, are crucial, and the disequilibrium is maintained by air near the surface mixing with air higher up, which is typically appreciably cooler and lower in water-vapor content. The air is mixed by means of turbulence that depends on the wind for its energy. As wind speed increases, so does turbulence, and thus the rate of heat and moisture transfer. Detailed understanding of this phenomenon awaits further study. An interacting—and complicating—phenomenon is wind-to-water transfer of momentum that occurs when waves are formed. When the wind makes waves, it transfers important amounts of energy—energy that is therefore not available to provide turbulence.8. according to the passage, wind over the ocean generally does which of the following(A) causes relatively cool, dry air to come into proximity with the ocean surface.(B) maintains a steady rate of heat and moisture transfer between the ocean and the air.(C) causes frequent changes in the temperature of the water at the ocean’s surface.9. the passage suggests that if on a certain day the wind were to decrease until there was no wind at all which of he following would occur(A) the air closest to the ocean surface would become saturated with water vapor.(B) the air closest to the ocean surface would be warmer than the water(C) the amount of moisture in the air closest to the ocean surface would decrease.(D) the rate of heat and moisture transfer would increase.(E) the air closest to the ocean would be at the same temperature as air higher up.For Questions 10 to 13, select the two answer choices that, when used to complete the sentence, fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole and produce completed sentences that are alike in meaning.10. Marison was a scientist of unusual _______ and imagination who had startling succeeded in discerning new and fundamental principles well in advance of their general recognition.(A) restiveness(B) perspicacity(C) precision(D) aggression(E) candor(F) insight11. It is assumed that scientists will avoid making ______ claims aboutthe results of their experiments because of the likelihood that they will be exposed when other researchers cannot duplicate their findings.(A) hypothetical(B) fraudulent(C) verifiable(D) radical(E) deceptive(F) evaluative12. As early as the seventeenth century, philosophers called attention to the ______ character of the issue, and their twentieth-century counterparts still approach it with uneasiness.(A) absorbing(B) unusual(C) complicated(D) auspicious(E) involved(F) fanciful13. The value of Davis’ sociological research is compromised by his unscrupulous tendency to use materials selectively in order to substantiate his own claims, while ______ information that points to other possible conclusions.(A) deploying(B) disregarding(C) weighing(D) refuting(E) emphasizing(F) discountingQuestions 14 to 16 are based on the following passage.The molecules of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere affect the heat balance of the Earth by acting as a one-way screen. Although these molecules allow radiation at visible wavelength, where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated, to pass through, they absorb some of the longer-wavelength, infrared emissions radiated from the Earth’s surface, radiation that would otherwise be transmitted back into space. For the Earth to maintain a constant average temperature, such emissions from the planet must balance incoming solar radiation. If there were no carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, heat would escape from the Earth much more easily. The surface temperature would be so much lower that the oceans might be a solid mass of ice.Today, however, the potential problem is too much carbon dioxide. The burning of fossil fuels and the clearing of forests have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by about 15 percent in the last hundred years, and we continue to add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Could the increase in carbon dioxide cause a global rise in average temperature, and could such a rise have serious consequences for human society Mathematical models that allow us to calculate the rise in temperature as a function of the increase indicate that the answer is probably yes.Under present conditions a temperature of -18 ℃ can be observed at an altitude of 5 to 6 kilometers above the Earth. Below this altitude (called the radiating level), the temperature increases by about 6 ℃ per kilometer appro aching the Earth’s surface, where the average temperature is about 15 ℃. An increase in the amount of carbon dioxide means that there are more molecules of carbon dioxide to absorb infrared radiation. As the capacity of the atmosphere to absorb infrared radiation increases, the radiating level and the temperature of the surface must rise.One mathematical model predicts that doubling the atmospheric carbon dioxide would raise the global mean surface temperature by ℃. This model assumes that the atmosphere’s relative humidity remains constant and the temperature decreases with altitude at a rate of ℃ per kilometer. The assumption of constant relative humidity is important,because water vapor in the atmosphere is another efficient absorber of radiation at infrared wavelength. Because warm air can hold more moisture than cool air, the relative humidity will be constant only if the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere increases as the temperature rises. Therefore, more infrared radiation would be absorbed and reradiated back to the Earth’s surfac e. The resultant warming at the surface could be expected to melt snow and ice, reducing the Earth’s reflectivity. More solar radiation would then be absorbed, leading to a further increase in temperature.14. according to the passage, the greatest part of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is(A) concentrated in the infrared spectrum(B) concentrated at visible wavelengths(C) absorbed by carbon dioxide molecules(D) absorbed by atmospheric water vapor(E) reflected back to space by snow and ice15. according to the passage, atmospheric carbon dioxide performs which of the following functions(A) absorbing radiation at visible wavelengths(B) absorbing infrared radiation(C) absorbing outgoing radiation from the Earth16. select a sentence in the third or the last paragraph which indicts the premise of the mathematical model mentioned in the passage17. When school administrators translate educational research into a standardized teaching program and mandate its use by teachers, students learn less and learn less well than they did before, even though the teachers are the same. The translation by the administrators of theory into prescribed practice must therefore be flawed.The argument above is based on which of the following assumptionsA. teachers differ in their ability to teach in accordance with standardized programs.B. the educational research on which the standardized teaching programs are based is sound.C. researchers should be the ones to translate their own research into teaching programs.D. the ways in which teachers choose to implement the programs are ineffective.E. the level of student learning will vary from state to state.18. A common defense of sport hunting is that it serves a vital wildlife-management function, without which countless animals would succumb to starvation and disease. This defense leads to the overly hasty conclusion that sport hunting produces a healthier population of animals.Which of the following, if true, best supports the author’s claim that sport hunting does not necessarily produce a healthier population of animalsA. for many economically depressed families, hunting helps keep food on the table.B. wildlife species encroach on farm crops when other food supplies become scarce.C. overpopulation of a species causes both strong and weak animals to suffer.D. sport hunters tend to pursue the biggest and healthiest animals in a population.E. many people have strong moral objections to killing a creature for any reason other than self-defense.For Questions 19 to 20, select one entry for each blank from the corresponding columnof choices. Fill all blanks in the way that best completes the text.19. (i)_________ thinkers are often accused by more (ii)___________ thinkers of building castles in the air based more on lofty ideals and (iii)___________ than on a solid foundation in reality.20.

Thus, the fraction of humanities faculty who are male is, or approximately 0.507. As a percent, the answer choice that is closest to 0.507 is 51 percent. The correct answer is Choice E.11．Hard QuestionFor the biological sciences and health sciences faculty combined, 1/3 of the female and 2/9 of the male faculty members are tenured professors. What fraction of all the faculty members in those two fields combined are tenured professors?正确答案：24/87解析：You need to determine the number of female faculty and the number of male faculty in the combined group. According to the graph, 5 percent of the female faculty, or 10, and 10 percent of the male faculty, or 25, are in the biological sciences. Similarly, 16 percent of the female faculty, or 32, and 8 percent of the male faculty, or 20, are in the health sciences. When you combine the groups, you get a total of 42 females(10 + 32)and 45 males(25 + 20), which is a total of 87 faculty. The tenured facuhy are 1/3 of the 42 females, or 14 females, and 2/9 of the 45 males, or 10 males. Thus, there are 24 tenured faculty, and the fraction that are tenured professors is 24/87 . The correct answer is 24/87(or any equivalent fraction).V ALUE OF IMPORTS TO AND EXPORTS FROM COUNTRY T, 2000-2009 12．For which of the eight years from 2001 to 2008 did exports exceed imports by more than $5 billion?Indicate all such years.[A] 2001[B] 2002[C] 2003[D] 2004[E] 2005[F] 2006[G] 2007[H] 2008正确答案：A，B，C，F，G，H解析：Note that for all years shown, the dollar value of exports is greater than thedollar value of imports. For each year, the difference between the dollar value of exports and the dollar value of imports can be read directly from the graph. The difference was more than $5 billion for each of the years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007, and 2008. The correct answer consists of Choices A, B, C, F, G, and H.13．Medium QuestionWhich of the following is closest to the average (arithmetic mean) of the 9 changes in the value of imports between consecutive years from 2000 to 2009 ?A．$260 millionB．$320 millionC．$400 millionD．$480 millionE．$640 million正确答案：E解析：The average of the 9 changes in the value of imports between consecutive years can be represented as follows, where the function v(year) represents the value of imports for the indicated year.Note that in the numerator of the fraction, each term, with the exception of v(2000) and v(2009), appears first as positive and then again as negative. The positive and negative pairs sum to 0, and the fraction simplifies to . Reading the values from the graph, you can approximate the value of the simplified fraction as0.644 billion dollars. The answer choice that is closest to $0,644 billion is $640 million. The correct answer is Choice E.14．Medium QuestionIn 2008 the value of exports was approximately what percent greater than the value of imports?A．0.4B．0.6C．0.7D．1.2E．1.4正确答案：E解析：The difference between the value of exports and the value of imports expressed as a percent of the value of imports isIn 2008 the value of imports was approximately $5 billion and the value of exports was approximately $12 billion, so the value of the fraction is approximately , or 7/5. Since the fraction is greater than 1, expressing it as a percent will give a percent greater than 100. The fraction is equal to 1.4, or 140 percent. The correct answer is Choice E.15．Hard QuestionIf it were discovered that the value of imports shown for 2007 was incorrect and should have been $5 billion instead, then the average(arithmetic mean)value of imports per year for the 10 years shown would have been approximately how much less?A．$200 millionB．$50 millionC．$20 millionD．$7 millionE．$5 million正确答案：A解析：To answer this question, you do not need to compute either of the two 10-year averages referred to in the question; you just need to calculate the difference between the two averages. The average value of imports for the 10 years shown in the graph is found by adding the 10 values and then dividing the sum by 10. The value of imports in 2007 is $7 billion. If that amount were $5 billion instead, then the sum of the values would be $2 billion less. If the sum were $2 billion less than what it was, then the average would decrease by 2 billion divided by 10, or = 200,000,000. The average would therefore be $200 million less, and the correct answer is Choice A.A more algebraic approach to the problem is to let S represent the sum, in billions, of the 10 values of imports in the graph. The average of the 10 values is S/10. Note that S - 2 represents the sum, in billions, of the 10 values adjusted for the $2 billion correction for 2007. The average of the adjusted sum is. The difference between the two averages is The difference is 0.2 billion dollars, or $200 million. The correct answer is Choice A.。

GRE(VERBAL)综合模拟试卷3(题后含答案及解析)

GRE（VERBAL）综合模拟试卷3(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. PART ONEPART ONE （Time：30 minutes 38 Questions）SECTION 1Directions: Each sentence below has one or two blanks, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Beneath the sentence are five lettered or sets of words. Choose the word or set of words for each blank that best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.1．For some time now,______has been presumed not to exist: the cynical conviction that everybody has an angle is considered wisdom.A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：D解析：The colon indicates that the second part of the sentence will explain the first part. The missing word will describe the opposite of the cynical conviction that “everybody has an angle,” that is, that each person is concerned primarily with his or her own interests. Since “disinterestedness” means lack of self-interest, Choice D is correct. None of the other answer choices means something that is contrasted with or opposed to being primarily concerned with one’s own interests.2．Human nature and long distances have made exceeding the speed limit a (i)______in the state, so the legislators surprised no one when, acceding to public demand, they(ii)______increased penalties for speeding.A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：B解析：The reference to human nature and long distances suggest that it is rather routine for drivers to exceed the speed limit in this state. “Cherished tradition” best fits this context for Blank(i), since there is nothing in the sentence to suggest that speeding here is “controversial”or “disquieting.”In Blank(ii)we need to consider what the legislature would do that would surprise no one with regard to increased penalties for speeding. Given what we have learned so far, “rejected”is the best answer; it would be surprising il the legislature “endorsed”or even “considered”increased penalties for speeding. Thus the correct answer is cherished tradition(Choice B)and rejected(Choice F).3．Serling’s account of his employer’s reckless decision making(i)______that company’s image as(ii)______bureaucracy full of wary managers.A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：A解析：The correct answer for Blank(i)must support, or at least be consistent with, the contrast between Serling’s account, which emphasizes the recklessness of the company’s decision making, and the company’s image, that of a bureaucracy full of wary managers. For Blank(i), “belies” is the best choice since Serling’s account would certainly belie or contradict the company’s image. “Exposes” makes little sense since the image presumably is already out in the open, and there is nothing in the sentence that suggests Serling’s account “overshadows” the company’s image. As for Blank(ii), “a cautious” is the most logical choice. Neither “an injudicious” nor “a disorganized”makes sense in Blank(ii)as they both go against the notion of wariness.4．No other contemporary poet’s work has such a well-earned reputation for (i)______, and there are few whose moral vision is so imperiously unsparing. Of late, however, the almost belligerent demands of his severe and densely forbidding poetry have taken an improbable turn. This new collection is the poet’s fourth book in six years—an ample output even for poets of sunny disposition, let alone for one of such(ii)______over the previous 50 years. Yet for all his newfound(iii)______, his poetry is as thorny as ever.A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：C解析：Since the author of the paragraph has described the poet’s reputation as “well-earned,” the correct completion for Blank(i)must be something that is consistent with what the rest of the passage says about the poet’s work. Only “near impenetrability”fulfills this requirement, since the next sentence tells us that the poet’s work is “severe”and “densely forbidding,”which rule out both accessibility and frivolity. The Blank(ii)completion must contrast with “ample output,” and of the available options, only “penitential austerity” does so. Finally, the word in Blank(iii), since it is preceded by “newfound,” must refer to the change that has occurred in the poet’s work. The change the paragraph has described is an increase in output, so “volubility” is the correct choice.5．Managers who think that strong environmental performance will(i)______ their company’s financial performance often(ii)______claims that systems designed to help them manage environmental concerns are valuable tools. By contrast, managers who perceive environmental performance to be(iii)______ to financial success may view an environmental management system as extraneous. In either situation, and whatever their perceptions, it is a managers commitment to achieving environmental improvement rather than the mere presence of a system that determines environmental performance.A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：B解析：The first two sentences introduce two contrasting sets of managers. The managers identified in the second sentence view systems designed to help manage environmental concerns as “extraneous,”suggesting that they would view environmental performance to be “peripheral”(Choice I)to financial performance. The other options for Blank(iii)—“complementary”and “intrinsic”—are not consistent with the idea that environmental management systems are extraneous. With Blank(iii)filled in, we can go back to Blanks(i)and(ii)with greater confidence: “bolster”works best in Blank(i), since the two sets of managers have contrasting views. Blank(ii)is not straightforward—clearly these managers would not “hotly dispute”this claim, but “appropriately acknowledge”is less easily ruled out.“Uncritically accept”makes sense and is confirmed when we look at the final sentence in which the author warns that, in either situation, “the mere presence of a system” is not enough to achieve environmental improvement. In fact, a system is not even necessary. Thus the author of the paragraph does not regard the systems as particularly valuable, ruling out “appropriately acknowledge.”6．Philosophy, unlike most other subjects, does not try to extend our knowledge by discovering new information about the world. Instead it tries to deepen our understanding through(i)______what is already closest to us—the experiences, thoughts, concepts, and activities that make up our lives but that ordinarily escape our notice precisely because they are so familiar. Philosophy begins by finding(ii)______the things that are(iii)______.A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：B解析：The first two sentences present a contrast between extending our knowledge by discovering “new information about the world”—which we are told philosophy does not do —and extending knowledge through some activity involving “things that are closest to us.”The first blank asks us to identify that activity, and although “attainment”makes little sense in context, both “rumination on”and “detachment from” have some appeal. However, the clear implication that philosophy attends to things that ordinarily escape our notice eliminates “detachment from” as a correct answer. Blank(ii)requires something that suggests the importance of familiar things as subjects of philosophical rumination, and “utterly mysterious” does just that. “Essentially irrelevant” and “thoroughly commonplace” do not fit logically since they suggest that these “familiar” things are unimportant. Similarly, Blank(iii)needs to be consistent with the description of those things as familiar and close. “Most prosaic”fits that idea while “refreshingly novel”goes in the other direction. “Somewhat hackneyed”has some plausibility but is too negative given the overall tone of the sentence; there is no indication that those things are in any way trite.SECTION 2Directions: In each of the following questions, a related pair of words or phrases is followed by five lettered pairs of words or phrases. Select the lettered pair that best expresses a relationship similar to that expressed in the original pair.7．The government’s implementation of a new code of ethics appeared intendedto shore up the ruling party’s standing with an increasingly______electorate at a time when the party is besieged by charges that it trades favors for campaign money.A．aloofB．placidC．restiveD．skittishE．tranquil正确答案：C解析：The words filling the blank must be consistent with the idea that the ruling party needs to “shore up” its standing with the electorate. In their own way, Choices A, C, D, and F are consistent with that idea, but only two of these when taken together —”restive”and “skittish”—produce sentences that are alike in meaning. “Aloof”fits the blank reasonably well, but there is no other word offered that is nearly alike in meaning. The same holds for “vociferous.”“Placid”and “tranquil”are similar in meaning but do not fit the context of the sentence.8．Overlarge, uneven, and ultimately disappointing, the retrospective exhibition seems too much like special pleading for a forgotten painter of real but______ talents.A．limitedB．partialC．undiscoveredD．circumscribedE．prosaic正确答案：A解析：The sentence is explaining why the exhibition of the painters work was unsatisfactory, and since it says that the painters talents were real, the word in the blank has to indicate why those talents were not, in the opinion of the author of the sentence, good enough. The words “limited”and “circumscribed”do so and also produce sentences that are alike in meaning, so this pair forms the correct answer. Although “undiscovered”and “hidden”are similar in meaning, they do not make sense in the context of the sentence, since they do not indicate why the painter’s talents were not adequate. Other choices, such as “partial” and “prosaic” might make sense in context, but none of the other choices that meets that criterion also has a companion choice that would produce another sentence alike in meaning. Thus the correct answer is limited(Choice A)and circumscribed(Choice D).9．Newspapers report that the former executive has been trying to keep a low profile since his______exit from the company.A．celebratedB．mysteriousC．long-awaitedD．fortuitousE．indecorous正确答案：E解析：The sentence needs to be completed with a word that suggests a reason for the executive to wish to keep a low profile. The words “indecorous” and “unseemly”both suggest such a reason, and the sentences completed with those two choices are alike in meaning. Therefore, that pair forms the correct answer. Although one might get a sensible sentence by filling the blank with another choice, such as “long-awaited,”none of the other choices that meets that criterion also has a companion choice that would produce another sentence alike in meaning.SECTION 3Directions: Each passage in this group is followed by questions based on its content. After reading a passage, choose the best answer to each question. Answer all questions following a passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.10．In the United States between 1850 and 1880, the number of farmers continued to increase, but at a rate lower than that of the general population.Which of the following statements directly contradicts the information presented above?A．The number of farmers in the general population increased slightly in the 30 years between 1850 and 1880.B．The rate of growth of the United States labor force and the rate of growth of the general population rose simultaneously in the 30 years between 1850 and 1880.C．The proportion of farmers in the United States labor force remained constant in the 30 years between 1850 and 1880.D．The proportion of farmers in the United States labor force decreased from 64 percent in 1850 to 49 percent in 1880.E．The proportion of farmers in the general population increased from 68 percent in 1850 to 72 percent in 1880.正确答案：E解析：The given sentence indicates that the proportion of farmers in the general population decreased from 1850 to 1880. Choice E says exactly the opposite—that this proportion increased—and therefore it contradicts the passage and is the correct response. Choice A is incorrect because it agrees with the given sentence, and Choices B, C, and D are all incorrect because they refer to the labor force, about which the given sentence says nothing.11．A ten-year comparison between the United States and the Soviet Union in terms of crop yields per acre revealed that when only planted acreage is compared, Soviet yields were equal to 68 percent of United States yields. When total agricultural acreage(planted acreage plus fallow acreage)is compared, however, Soviet yield was 114 percent of United States yield.From the information above, which of the following can be most reliably inferred about United States and Soviet agriculture during the ten-year period?A．A higher percentage of total agricultural acreage was fallow in the United States than in the Soviet Union.B．The United States had more fallow acreage than planted acreage.C．Fewer total acres of available agricultural land were fallow in the Soviet Union than in the United States.D．The Soviet Union had more planted acreage than fallow acreage.E．The Soviet Union produced a greater volume of crops than the United States produced.正确答案：A解析：If crop yield per planted acre was less in the Soviet Union than it was in the United States, yet crop yield per total(planted plus fallow)agricultural acreage was greater in the Soviet Union than it was in the United States, the percentage of the total acreage that was left fallow must have been lower in the Soviet Union than in the United States. Therefore, Choice A is the correct answer. Since the information provided in the paragraph is given in terms of yield per acre, no conclusion can be drawn about actual acreage, so Choices B, C, and D are all incorrect. Similarly, it is impossible to determine the total volume of crops produced in the Soviet Union, so Choice E is incorrect.For hot desert locations with access to seawater, a new greenhouse design generates freshwater and cool air. Oriented to the prevailing wind, the front wall of perforated cardboard, moistened and cooled by a trickle of seawater pumped in, cools and moistens hot air blowing in. This cool, humidified air accelerates plant growth; little water evaporates from leaves. Though greenhouses normally capture the heat of sunlight, a double-layered roof, the inner layer coated to reflect infrared light outward, allows visible sunlight in but traps solar heat between the two layers. This heated air, drawn down from the roof, then mixes with the greenhouse air as it reaches a second seawater-moistened cardboard wall at the back of the greenhouse. There the air absorbs more moisture, which then condenses on a metal wall cooled by seawater, and thus distilled water for irrigating the plants collects.12．It can be inferred that the process described in the passage makes use of which of the following?A．The tendency of hot air to riseB．The directional movement of windC．The temperature differential between the sea and the desert正确答案：B解析：Choices B and C are correct. This question asks the reader which of the three phenomena listed in the answer choices is used in the process described in the passage.Choice A is incorrect: the passage does not indicate that the tendency of hot air to rise is used in the process, and in fact says that heated air is drawn down, not up, as part of the greenhouse design.Choice B is correct: the second sentence describes the orientation of a perforated cardboard wall toward the prevailing wind so that hot air blows in and is moistened.Choice C is correct: the passage describes the use of seawater to cool hot desert air and to provide moisture that is absorbed by heated airand then condensed on a seawater-cooled surface for the purpose of irrigating the plants.13．It can be inferred that the greenhouse roof is designed to allow for which of the following?A．The avoidance of intense solar heat inside the greenhouseB．The entry of sunlight into the greenhouse to make the plants growC．The mixture of heated air with greenhouse air to enhance the collection of moisture正确答案：A解析：All three choices are correct. This question asks the reader which of the three effects listed in the answer choices are intended as part of the design of the greenhouse roof.Choice A is correct: the purpose of the double-layered roof is to trap solar heat before it gets inside the greenhouse proper.Choice B is correct: the coating on the inner layer of the roof allows visible sunlight into the greenhouse.Choice C is correct: the last two sentences of the passage describe how heated air from the roof is drawn down to mix with greenhouse air, resulting in the collection of distilled water for irrigation purposes.Many critics of Emily Bronte’s novel Wuthering Heights see its second part as a counterpoint that comments on, if it does not reverse, the first part, where a romantic reading receives more confirmation. Seeing the two parts as a whole is encouraged by the novel’s sophisticated structure, revealed in its complex use of narrators and time shifts. Granted that the presence of these elements need not argue for an authorial awareness of novelistic construction comparable to that of Henry James, their presence does encourage attempts to unify the novel’s heterogeneous parts. However, any interpretation that seeks to unify all of the novel’s diverse elements is bound to be somewhat unconvincing. This is not because such an interpretation necessarily stiffens into a thesis(although rigidity in any interpretation of this or of any novel is always a danger), but because Wuthering Heights has recalcitrant elements of undeniable power that, ultimately, resist inclusion in an all-encompassing interpretation. In this respect, Wuthering Heights shares a feature of Hamlet.14．According to the passage, which of the following is a true statement about the first and second parts of Wuthering Heights?A．The second part has received more attention from critics.B．The second part has little relation to the first part.C．The second part annuls the force of the first part.D．The second part provides less substantiation for a romantic reading.E．The second part is better because it is more realistic.正确答案：D解析：This question requires the reader to identify which of the given relationships between the novel’s first and second parts is one that is described in the passage. According to the first sentence, the first part of the novel tends to confirm the “romantic”reading more strongly than the second. Therefore, Choice D is correct. Nothing in the passage suggests that critics have paid more attention to the second part, that the two parts have little relation, or that the second part is better. Therefore, Choices A, B, and E are incorrect. Choice C is a more extreme statement than any found in the passage, and therefore it is incorrect.15．Which of the following inferences about Henry James’s awareness of novelistic construction is best supported by the passage?A．James, more than any other novelist, was aware of the difficulties of novelistic construction.B．James was very aware of the details of novelistic construction.C．James’s awareness of novelistic construction derived from his reading of Bronte.D．James’s awareness of novelistic construction has led most commentators to see unity in his individual novels.E．James’s awareness of novelistic construction precluded him from violating the unity of his novels.正确答案：B解析：This question focuses on the passages mention of Henry James and asks what can be inferred from it. The third sentence implies that James represents a very high degree of authorial awareness of novelistic construction and that no such claim is necessarily being made for Bronte. Thus, Choice B is the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect, since the passage does not imply that there are particular difficulties that James understood uniquely among novelists. Choice C is incorrect because the passage does not state or imply that James read Bronte. The passage also does not say anything about commentators’opinions of the unity of James’s works; therefore Choice D is incorrect. Choice E is incorrect because the passage itself offers no information about the unity of James’s novels.16．The author of the passage would be most likely to agree that an interpretation of a novel shouldA．not try to unite heterogeneous elements in the novelB．not be inflexible in its treatment of the elements in the novelC．not argue that the complex use of narrators or of time shifts indicates a sophisticated structureD．concentrate on those recalcitrant elements of the novel that are outside the novel’s main structureE．primarily consider those elements of novelistic construction of which the author of the novel was aware正确答案：B解析：This question requires the reader to determine what can be inferred fromthe passage about its author’s view of the interpretation of novels. Choice A may seem attractive because in the passage the author says that Wuthering Heights has heterogeneous elements that resist inclusion in a unifying interpretive scheme. Choice A is incorrect, however, because the author does not indicate that the unification of different elements is to be avoided in interpretation generally. By contrast, the author’s parenthetical statement about rigidity does present a general warning against inflexibility of interpretation, and it is this that supports Choice B as the correct answer. Choice C is incorrect, as the author actually suggests the contrary of this view in the second sentence of the passage. Although the author mentions recalcitrant elements of Wuthering Heights, there is no suggestion by the author that such elements deserve a special focus in interpretation. Therefore Choice D is incorrect. The author of the passage does not indicate which elements, if any, of novelistic construction are most worthy of consideration. Therefore Choice E is incorrect.17．The author of the passage suggests which of the following about Hamlet?A．Hamlet has usually attracted critical interpretations that tend to stiffen into theses.B．Hamlet has elements that are not amenable to an all-encompassing critical interpretation.C．Hamlet is less open to an all-encompassing critical interpretation than is Wuthering Heights.正确答案：B解析：Choice B is correct. This question asks the reader which of the three statements about Hamlet listed in the answer choices are suggested by the author of the passage.Choice A is incorrect: the passage does not provide information about the characteristics of the usual critical interpretations of Hamlet.Choice B is correct: Hamlet is mentioned only in the final sentence of the passage, which refers to “this respect” in which Hamlet and Wuthering Heights are similar. The previous sentence reveals the point of similarity referred to: Wuthering Heights has elements that resist inclusion in an all-encompassing interpretive framework.Choice C is incorrect: the passage mentions only a feature shared between Hamlet and Wuthering Heights. It does not suggest anything about a difference in their openness to a particular critical interpretation.。

GRE(ANALYTICAL WRITING)模拟试卷3(题后含答案及解析)

GRE（ANALYTICAL WRITING）模拟试卷3(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. Analyze an Issue 2. Analyze an ArgumentAnalyze an Issue1．Claim: The best test of an argument is its ability to convince someone with an opposing viewpoint.Reason: Only by being forced to defend an idea against the doubts and contrasting views of others does one really discover the value of that idea.Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.正确答案：The claim that the best test of an argument is its ability to convince someone with an opposing viewpoint is a compelling one. The reason given for this claim is that only through defending an idea against all possible criticism does the idea gain true and tested merit. Indeed, it is this very reason which forms the basis of academic scholarship: by debating and discussing opposing ideas in a collective discourse, we are able to home in upon those ideas which are truly of value. The concept that an argument should be based on sound principles that convince even those who are biased against it falls in line with the foundation of our post-Enlightenment society of reason.Consider, for example, two disparate political parties with vastly different approaches to governing a country. If, in this tense political climate, a representative from one party raises an argument which she can defend openly in front of a group of her opponents, the value of the idea becomes clear. Say, perhaps, that a representative proposes a new strategy for increasing employment which falls much more in line with her own party’s philosophy than with the other party’s. By arguing with representatives from the opposing party, and by addressing each and every counterpoint that they raise to her new employment policy, the potential flaws in her idea are laid utterly bare. Furthermore, the logic and reason of her points must be measured in the balance against the biases and emotions of her listeners. If after such a conversation she is able to convince the opposing party that her proposal holds some merit and might actually be beneficial for the citizens of their country, then its value becomes far more evident than if she were a dictator who had merely administered her vision unchecked. It is apparent from this example that the ideology of convincing others with opposing viewpoints is pervasive in the way many governments and institutions are structured, such as our own—through checks and balances, public discourse, and productive disagreement.The strongest reason for the excerpt’s validity is found by comparing the claim to its reverse. Imagine a scenario where one is asked to present one’s argument, but the group of people to whom one is presenting already espouse those very ideas: “preaching to the choir” is the ubiquitous idiom we use to describe this phenomenon. In this situation, it becomes irrelevant whether or not a particular argument holds those indicators of merit: logic and reason grounded in evidence. Even the most inflammatory or tenuous arguments would notbe exposed for their true hollowness by a group who were unwilling or unable to question the speaker. The “choir” presents no challenge to the argument, and in doing so the argument’s merit cannot be tested. In fact, it is this lack of challenge which can lead to stagnation both in the governing of nations—consider, as mentioned above, dictators who eliminate the possibility of dissent—and in academic discourse, where complacency with prevailing ideas can halt the creation of new and possibly contradictory findings. For this, we see that being forced to defend an idea against the doubt of others does indeed bring out its true worth; in the opposing situation, whether or not the argument holds intrinsic merit, this merit cannot be tested or discerned in any way.There is, however, one modification which makes the claim more complete. The claim suggests that the best test for an argument is its ability to convince others, which may lead to the inference that an argument which cannot convince others holds no value. However, this inference is not true, and here lies the caveat to the claim. Throughout history there are ideas or arguments that are perhaps too modern, beyond their times, and in these situations those who oppose them refuse to believe an argument that is later on discovered to be entirely true and valid. Imagine, for example, Galileo’s attempts to convince his contemporaries that the Earth revolved around the Sun, and not vice versa. In the scientific climate of his time, others simply couldn’t accept Galileo’s reasoned argument despite his multiple attempts to convince them. In this instance, the value of Galileo’s argument actually could not be tested by defending it in front of others. The value only became apparent later on, when other scientists began to repeat and understand the insightful calculations that Galileo had made much earlier. So while convincing the opposition is certainly one mark of a good argument, it is not always the ultimate test.In conclusion, the examples discussed reveal that the worth of an argument can be measured through its ability to withstand dissent and doubt. As long as an argument is not deemed invalid by the mere fact that no others are persuaded by it, it is reasonable to claim that the best way to test an argument is to attempt to convince those who oppose it.解析：In addressing the specific task directions, this outstanding response presents a cogent examination of the issue and conveys meaning skillfully. After stating a clear position in agreement with both the claim and its reason, the writer emphasizes the significance of the latter: “It is this very reason which forms the basis of academic scholarship: by debating and discussing opposing ideas in a collective discourse, we are able to home in upon those ideas which are truly of value.”Skillfully, the writer demonstrates the validity of the claim by comparing arguments presented to different audiences. First, a political representative defends a proposal against the arguments of the opposing party. Here, the proposal is fully tested “through checks and balances, public discourse, and productive disagreement.”In contrast, the writer considers a similar presentation of ideas to a like-minded group(“preaching to the choir”)and concludes that, in the absence of discourse or dissent, the merit of an idea cannot be determined. Finally, the writer reexamines the claim and finds an exception to it(the rejection by his contemporaries of Galileo’s reasoned argument), and modifies the claim as follows: “So while convincing theopposition is certainly one mark of a good argument, it is not always the ultimate test.”Examples and reasons are both compelling and persuasive, and language and syntax are consistently precise and effective, as in the following: “In fact, it is this lack of challenge which can lead to stagnation both in the governing of nations—consider, as mentioned above, dictators who eliminate the possibility of dissent—and in academic discourse, where complacency with prevailing ideas can halt the creation of new and possibly contradictory findings.”Because of its superior facility, fluent and precise presentation of ideas, and clear and insightful position, this response clearly earns a score of 6.Analyze an Argument2．In surveys Mason City residents rank water sports(swimming, boating, and fishing)among their favorite recreational activities. The Mason River flowing through the city is rarely used for these pursuits, however, and the city park department devotes little of its budget to maintaining riverside recreational facilities. For years there have been complaints from residents about the quality of the rivers water and the rivers smell. In response, the state has recently announced plans to clean up Mason River. Use of the river for water sports is, therefore, sure to increase. The city government should for that reason devote more money in this year’s budget to riverside recreational facilities.Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on the assumptions and what the implications are if the assumptions prove unwarranted.正确答案：While it may be true that the Mason City government ought to devote more money to riverside recreational facilities, this author’s argument does not make a cogent case for increased resources based on river use. It is easy to understand why city residents would want a cleaner river, but this argument is rife with holes and assumptions, and thus, not strong enough to lead to increased funding.Citing surveys of city residents, the author reports city resident’s love of water sports. It is not clear, however, the scope and validity of that survey. For example, the survey could have asked residents if they prefer using the river for water sports or would like to see a hydroelectric dam built, which may have swayed residents toward river sports. The sample may not have been representative of city residents, asking only those residents who live upon the river.The survey may have been 10 pages long, with 2 questions dedicated to river sports. We just do not know. Unless the survey is fully representative, valid, and reliable, it can not be used to effectively back the author’s argument.Additionally, the author implies that residents do not use the river for swimming, boating, and fishing, despite their professed interest, because the water is polluted and smelly. While a polluted, smelly river would likely cut down on river sports, a concrete connection between the resident’s lack of river use and the river’s current state is not effectively made. Though there have been complaints, we do not know if there have been numerous complaints from a wide range of people, orperhaps from one or two individuals who made numerous complaints. To strengthen his/her argument, the author would benefit from implementing a normed survey asking a wide range of residents why they do not currently use the river.Building upon the implication that residents do not use the river due to the quality of the river’s water and the smell, the author suggests that a river clean up will result in increased river usage. If the river’s water quality and smell result from problems which can be cleaned, this may be true. For example, if the decreased water quality and aroma is caused by pollution by factories along the river, this conceivably could be remedied. But if the quality and aroma results from the natural mineral deposits in the water or surrounding rock, this may not be true. There are some bodies of water which emit a strong smell of sulphur due to the geography of the area. This is not something likely to be afffected by a clean-up. Consequently, a river clean up may have no impact upon river usage. Regardless of whether the river’s quality is able to be improved or not, the author does not effectively show a connection between water quality and river usage.A clean, beautiful, safe river often adds to a city’s property values, leads to increased tourism and revenue from those who come to take advantage of the river, and a better overall quality of life for residents. For these reasons, city government may decide to invest in improving riverside recreational facilities. However, this author’s argument is not likely significantly persuade the city goverment to allocate increased funding.解析：This argument cites a survey to support the prediction that the use of the Mason River is sure to increase and thus recommends that the city government should devote more money in this year’s budget to the riverside recreational facilities.In developing your evaluation, you are asked to examine the arguments stated and/or unstated assumptions and discuss what the implications are if the assumptions prove unwarranted. A successful response, then, must discuss both the argument’s assumptions AND the implications of these assumptions for the argument. A response that does not address these aspects of the task will not receive a score of 4 or higher, regardless of the quality of its other features.Though responses may well raise other points not mentioned here and need not mention all of these points, some assumptions of the argument, and some ways in which the argument depends on those assumptions, include: The assumption that people who rank water sports “among their favorite recreational activities” are actually likely to participate in them.(It is possible that they just like to watch them.)This assumption underlies the claim that use of the river for water sports is sure to increase after the state cleans up the Mason River and that the city should for that reason devote more money to riverside recreational facilities. The assumption that what residents say in surveys can be taken at face value.(It is possible that survey results exaggerate the interest in water sports.)This assumption underlies the claim that use of the river for water sports is sure to increase after the state cleans up the Mason River and that the city should for that reason devote more money to riverside recreational facilities. The assumption that Mason City residents would actually want to do water sports in the Mason River.(As recreational activities, it is possible that water sports are regarded as pursuits for vacations and weekends away from the city.)This assumption underlies the claim that use of theriver for water sports is sure to increase after the state cleans up the Mason River and that the city should for that reason devote more money to riverside recreational facilities. The assumption that the park department devoting little of its budget to maintaining riverside recreational facilities means that these facilities are inadequately maintained. This assumption underlies the claim that the city should devote more money in this year’s budget to riverside recreational facilities. If current facilities are adequately maintained, then increased funding might not be needed even if recreational use of the river does increase. The assumption that the riverside recreational facilities are facilities designed for people who participate in water sports and not some other recreational pursuit. This assumption underlies the claim that the city should devote more money in this years budget to riverside recreational facilities. The assumption that the dirtiness of the river is the cause of its being little used and that cleaning up the river will be sufficient to increase recreational use of the river.(Residents might have complained about the water quality and smell even if they had no desire to boat, swim, or fish in the river.)This assumption underlies the claim that the states plan to clean up the river will result in increased use of the river for water sports. The assumption that the complaints about the river are numerous and significant. This assumption motivates the states plan to clean up the river and underlies the claim that use of the river for water sports is sure to increase.(Perhaps the complaints are coming from a very small minority, in which case cleaning the river might be a misuse of state funds.) The assumption that the states cleanup will occur soon enough to require adjustments to this year’s budget. This assumption underlies the claim that the city should devote more money in this year s budget to riverside recreational facilities. The assumption that the cleanup, when it happens, will benefit those parts of the river accessible from the city’s facilities. This assumption underlies the claim that the city should devote more money to riverside recreational facilities. The assumption that the city government ought to devote more attention to maintaining a recreational facility if demand for that facility increases. The assumption that the city should finance the new project and not some other agency or group(public or private).Should one or more of the above assumptions prove unwarranted, the implications for the argument are that: the logic of the argument falls apart/ is invalid/ is unsound. the state and city are spending their funds unnecessarily.。

GRE(VERBAL)综合模拟试卷4(题后含答案及解析)

GRE（VERBAL）综合模拟试卷4(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. 2. 3. 4.SECTION 1Directions: Each sentence below has one or two blanks, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Beneath the sentence are five lettered or sets of words. Choose the word or set of words for each blank that best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.1．It is refreshing to read a book about our planet by an author who does not allow facts to be(i)______by politics: well aware of the political disputes about the effects of human activities on climate and biodiversity, this author does not permit them to(ii)______his comprehensive description of what we know about our biosphere. He emphasizes the enormous gaps in our knowledge, the sparseness of our observations, and the(iii)______, calling attention to the many aspects of planetary evolution that must be better understood before we can accurately diagnose the condition of our planet.正确答案：A，E，I解析：The overall tone of the passage is clearly complimentary. To understand what the author of the book is being complimented on, it is useful to focus on the second blank. Here, we must determine what word would indicate something that the author is praised for not permitting. The only answer choice that fits the case is “obscure,”since enhancing and underscoring are generally good things to do, not things one should refrain from doing. Choosing “obscure” clarifies the choice for the first blank; the only choice that fits well with “obscure” is “overshadowed.” Notice that trying to fill blank(i)without filling blank(ii)first is very hard—each choice has at least some initial plausibility. Since the third blank requires a phrase that matches “enormous gaps”and “sparseness of our observations,”the best choice is “superficiality of our theories.”Thus the correct answer is overshadowed(Choice A), obscure(Choice E), and superficiality of our theories(Choice I).2．Vain and prone to violence, Caravaggio could not handle success: the more his(i)______as an artist increased, the more(ii)______his life became.正确答案：C，D解析：In this sentence, what follows the colon must explain or spell out what precedes it. So roughly what the second part must say is that as Caravaggio became more successful, his life got more out of control. When one looks for words to fill the blanks, it becomes clear that “tumultuous” is the best fit for blank(ii), since neither of the other choices suggests being out of control. And for blank(i), the best choice is “eminence,”since to increase in eminence is a consequence of becoming more successful. It is true that Caravaggio might also increase in notoriety, but an increasein notoriety as an artist is not as clear a sign of success as an increase in eminence.Thus the correct answer is eminence(Choice C)and tumultuous(Choice D).3．In parts of the Arctic, the land grades into the landfast ice so______that you can walk off the coast and not know you are over the hidden sea.正确答案：B解析：The word that fills the blank has to characterize how the land grades into the ice in a way that explains how you can walk off the coast and over the sea without knowing it. The word that does that is “imperceptibly”; if the land grades imperceptibly into the ice, you might well not know that you had left the land. Describing the shift from land to ice as permanent, irregular, precarious, or relentless would not help to explain how you would fail to know.Thus the correct answer is imperceptibly(Choice B).SECTION 2Directions: In each of the following questions, a related pair of words or phrases is followed by five lettered pairs of words or phrases. Select the lettered pair that best expresses a relationship similar to that expressed in the original pair.4．Although it does contain some pioneering ideas, one would hardly characterize the work as______.A orthodoxB eccentricC originalD triflingE conventionalF innovative正确答案：C，F解析：The word “Although” is a crucial signpost here. The work contains some pioneering ideas, but apparently it is not overall a pioneering work. Thus the two words that could fill the blank appropriately are “original” and “innovative.” Note that “orthodox” and “conventional” are two words that are very similar in meaning, but neither one completes the sentence sensibly.Thus the correct answer is original(Choice C)and innovative(Choice F).5．It was her view that the country’s problems had been______by foreign technocrats, so that to ask for such assistance again would be counterproductive.A amelioratedB ascertainedC diagnosedD exacerbatedE overlookedF worsened正确答案：D，F解析：The sentence relates a piece of reasoning, as indicated by the presence of “so that”: asking for the assistance of foreign technocrats would be counterproductive because of the effects such technocrats have had already. This means that the technocrats must have bad effects; that is, they must have “exacerbated”or “worsened”the country’s problems.Thus the correct answer is exacerbated(Choice D)and worsened(Choice F).Reviving the practice of using elements of popular music in classical composition, an approach that had been in hibernation in the United States during the 1960s, composer Philip Glass(born 1937)embraced the ethos of popular music in his compositions. Glass based two symphonies on music by rock musicians David Bowie and Brian Eno, but the symphonies’ sound is distinctively his. Popular elements do not appear out of place in Glass’s classical music, which from its early days has shared certain harmonies and rhythms with rock music. Yet this use of popular elements has not made Glass a composer of popular music. His music is not a version of popular music packaged to attract classical listeners; it is high art for listeners steeped in rock rather than the classics.Select only one answer choice.6．The passage addresses which of the following issues related to Glass’s use of popular elements in his classical compositions?A．How it is regarded by listeners who prefer rock to the classicsB．How it has affected the commercial success of Glass’s musicC．Whether it has contributed to a revival of interest among other composers in using popular elements in their compositionsD．Whether it has had a detrimental effect on Glass’s reputation as a composer of classical musicE．Whether it has caused certain of Glass’s works to be derivative in quality正确答案：E解析：One of the important points that the passage makes is that when Glass uses popular elements in his music, the result is very much his own creation(it is “distinctively his”). In other words, the music is far from being derivative. Thus one issue that the passage addresses is the one referred to in answer Choice E—it answers it in the negative. The passage does not discuss the impact of Glass’s use of popular elements on listeners, on the commercial success of his music, on other composers, nor on Glass’s reputation, so none of Choices A through D is correct.The correct answer is Choice E.7．The passage suggests that Glass’s work displays which of the following qualities?A．A return to the use of popular music in classical compositionsB．An attempt to elevate rock music to an artistic status more closely approximating that of classical musicC．A long-standing tendency to incorporate elements from two apparently disparate musical styles正确答案：A，C解析：To answer this question, it is important to assess each answer choice independently. Since the passage says that Glass revived the use of popular music inclassical compositions, answer Choice A is clearly correct. On the other hand, the passage also denies that Glass composes popular music or packages it in a way to elevate its status, so answer Choice B is incorrect. Finally, since Glass’s style has always mixed elements of rock with classical elements, Choice C is correct.Thus the correct answer is Choice A and Choice C.8．Select the sentence that distinguishes two ways of integrating rock and classical music.正确答案：His music is not a version of popular music packaged to attract classical listeners; it is high art for listeners steeped in rock rather than the classics.解析：Almost every sentence in the passage refers to incorporating rock music in classical compositions, but only the last sentence distinguishes two ways of doing so. It distinguishes between writing rock music in a way that will make it attractive to classical listeners and writing classical music that will be attractive to listeners familiar with rock.Thus the correct answer is the last sentence of the passage.Ragwort was accidentally introduced to New Zealand in the late nineteenth century and, like so many invading foreign species, quickly became a pest. By the 1920s, the weed was rampant. What made matters worse was that its proliferation coincided with sweeping changes in agriculture and a massive shift from sheep farming to dairying. Ragwort contains a battery of toxic and resilient alkaloids: even honey made from its flowers contains the poison in dilute form. Livestock generally avoid grazing where ragwort is growing, but they will do so once it displaces grass and clover in their pasture. Though sheep can eat it for months before showing any signs of illness, if cattle eat it they sicken quickly, and fatality can even result.9．The passage suggests that the proliferation of ragwort was particularly ill-timed because itA．coincided with and exacerbated a decline in agricultureB．took place in conditions that enabled the ragwort to spread faster than it otherwise would have doneC．led to an increase in the amount of toxic compounds contained in the plants D．prevented people from producing honey that could be eaten safelyE．had consequences for livestock that were more dramatic than they otherwise would have been正确答案：E解析：The passage mentions that ragwort s impact on New Zealand’s agriculture was especially severe because the plant s proliferation “coincided with sweeping changes in agriculture that saw a massive shift from sheep farming to dairying.” The severity of the impact was increased because cattle, which were displacing sheep, are much more sensitive than sheep to the toxins contained in ragwort. This points toChoice E as the correct answer choice. Nothing in the passage suggests that the proliferation of ragwort coincided with a decline in agriculture(Choice A), occurred faster than it might have done(Choice B), or made the plants more toxic(Choice C). There is a suggestion that ragwort honey might not be safe for humans, but there is no indication that this made the timing of the proliferation particularly unfortunate.10．The passage implies which of the following about the problems ragwort poses to dairy farmers?A．Milk produced by cows that eat ragwort causes illness in humans who drink it.B．Ragwort can supplant the plants normally eaten by cattle.C．Cattle, unlike sheep, are unable to differentiate between ragwort and healthy grazing.正确答案：B解析：Choice B is correct. The question asks about the problems ragwort poses to dairy farmers.Choice A is incorrect: The passage does not mention the effect of ragwort consumption on the milk produced by cows.Choice B is correct: The passage mentions that livestock will eat ragwort “once it displaces grass and clover in their pasture.”Choice C is incorrect: The passage claims that “livestock generally avoid grazing where ragwort is growing,”but does not make a distinction between cattle and sheep.African American newspapers in the 1930s faced many hardships. For instance, knowing that buyers of African American papers also bought general-circulation papers, advertisers of consumer products often ignored African American publications. Advertisers’discrimination did free the African American press from advertiser domination. Editors could print politically charged material more readily than could the large national dailies, which depended on advertisers’ideological approval to secure revenues. Unfortunately, it also made the selling price of Black papers much higher than that of general-circulation dailies. Often as much as two-thirds of publication costs had to come from subscribers or subsidies from community politicians and other interest groups. And despite their editorial freedom, African American publishers often felt compelled to print a disproportionate amount of sensationalism, sports, and society news to boost circulation.11．The passage suggests that if advertisers had more frequently purchased advertising in African American newspapers, then which of the following might have resulted?A．African American newspapers would have given more attention to sports and society news than they did.B．African American newspapers would have been available at lower prices than large national dailies were.C．African American newspapers would have experienced constraints on their content similar to those experienced by large national dailies.正确答案：C解析：Choice C is correct. The question asks about the consequences of more advertising in African American newspapers.Choice A is incorrect: The passage states that publishers of African American newspapers felt compelled to publish sports and society news even without any pressure from advertisers, so advertising revenue was not a factor in their editorial decisions.Choice B is incorrect: The passage says that lack of advertising revenue made African American newspapers more expensive than the large national dailies, implying that if advertisers had purchased space, the difference in price would have been smaller; but nothing in the passage supports the claim that African American newspapers would have been cheaper than the large national dailies.Choice C is correct: The passage states that large newspapers could not readily print politically charged material because they “depended on advertisers’ideological approval to secure revenues,” so it can be expected that African American newspapers would have experienced similar constraints if they also had depended on advertisers for revenues.12．The author of the passage suggests which of the following about the “advertisers”(line 3)mentioned in the passage?A．They assumed that advertising in African American newspapers would not significantly increase the sales of their products.B．They failed to calculate accurately the circulation of African American newspapers.C．They did not take African Americans’ newspaper reading into account when making decisions about where to advertise.D．They avoided African American newspapers partly because of their sensationalism.E．They tried to persuade African American newspapers to lower the rates charged for advertising.正确答案：A解析：The second sentence of the passage states that “knowing that buyers of African American newspapers also bought general-circulation papers, advertisers of consumer products often ignored African American publications.” This suggests that advertisers believed that the majority of the people who read African American newspapers would see the advertisements when they read general-circulation papers, and that the number of people who read only African American newspapers was too small to justify buying advertising space there. Therefore Choice A is correct.In a plausible but speculative scenario, oceanographer Douglas Martinson suggests that temperature increases caused by global warming would not significantly affect the stability of the Antarctic environment, where sea ice forms on the periphery of the continent in the autumn and winter and mostly disappears in the summer. True,less sea ice would form in the winter because global warming would cause temperatures to rise. However, Martinson argues, the effect of a warmer atmosphere may be offset as follows. The formation of sea ice causes the concentration of salt in surface waters to increase; less sea ice would mean a smaller increase in the concentration of salt. Less salty surface waters would be less dense and therefore less likely to sink and stir up deep water. The deep water, with all its stored heat, would rise to the surface at a slower rate. Thus, although the winter sea-ice cover might decrease, the surface waters would remain cold enough so that the decrease would not be excessive.13．It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following is true of the surface waters in the current Antarctic environment?A．They are more affected by annual fluctuations in atmospheric temperatures than they would be if they were less salty.B．They are less salty than they would be if global warming were to occur.C．They are more likely to sink and stir up deep waters than they would be if atmospheric temperatures were to increase.D．They are able to offset some of the effects of global warming beyond the Antarctic region.E．They are less affected by the temperature of deep water than they would be if atmospheric temperatures were to increase.正确答案：C解析：Choice C is correct. The passage states that rising temperatures would decrease the amount of sea ice formed in the winter, and that this change would result in surface water that is less salty, and thus less likely to sink. The current situation, then, results in the opposite: surface waters that are more likely to sink. Choices A and D are incorrect because the passage gives no information about how fluctuating temperatures would affect less salty water or about the relationship between the Antarctic region and the rest of the planet. Choices B and E are incorrect because they are both the opposite of what the passage implies about surface waters in the current environment.14．The passage suggests that Martinson believes which of the following about deep waters in the Antarctic region?A．They rise to the surface more quickly than they would if global warming were to occur.B．They store heat that will exacerbate the effects of increases in atmospheric temperatures.C．They would be likely to be significantly warmed by an increase in atmospheric temperatures.D．They would be more salty than they currently are if global warming were to occur.E．They are less likely to be stirred up when surface waters are intensely salty than when surface waters are relatively unsalty.正确答案：A解析：Choice A is correct. The passage states that, in Martinsons scenario, the deep water would rise to the surface at a slower rate were warming to occur. He must believe, then, that the water currently rises to the surface more quickly. As for Choice B, while the passage indeed states that deep waters in Antarctica store heat, it also suggests that this heat would be less likely to reach the surface and worsen global warming. Choice B is therefore incorrect. Choice E is incorrect because it contradicts information given in the passage. Choices C and D are incorrect because, while the passage discusses the effects of global warming on the temperature and salinity of surface water, it gives no information of warmings effects on the temperature and salinity of deep water.15．According to the passage, which of the following is true about the sea ice that surrounds the Antarctic continent?A．The amount of sea ice that forms in the winter has been declining.B．Most of the sea ice that forms in the winter remains intact in the summer.C．Even small changes in the amount of sea ice dramatically affect the temperature of the surface waters.D．Changes in the amount of sea ice due to global warming would significantly affect the stability of the Antarctic environment.E．Changes in the amount of sea ice affect the degree of saltiness of the surface waters.正确答案：E解析：Choice E is correct: according to the passage, “less sea ice would mean a smaller increase in the concentration of salt.”Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they are all contrary to the information presented in the passage. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not compare current amounts of sea ice with past quantities; it instead proposes a hypothetical scenario involving a possible future decline of sea ice formation.SECTION 3Directions: Each passage in this group is followed by questions based on its content. After reading a passage, choose the best answer to each question. Answer all questions following a passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.16．Despite the fact that the health-inspection procedures for catering establishments are more stringent than those for ordinary restaurants, more of the cases of food poisoning reported to the city health department were brought on by banquets served by catering services than were brought on by restaurant meals.Which of the following, if true, helps explain the apparent paradox in the statement above?A．A significantly larger number of people eat in restaurants than attend catered banquets in any given time period.B．Catering establishments know how many people they expect to serve, andtherefore are less likely than restaurants to have, and serve, leftover food, a major source of food poisoning.C．Many restaurants provide catering services for banquets in addition to serving individual meals.D．The number of reported food-poisoning cases at catered banquets is unrelated to whether the meal is served on the caterer’s or the client’s premises.E．People are unlikely to make a connection between a meal they have eaten and a subsequent illness unless the illness strikes a group who are in communication with one another.正确答案：E解析：The question calls for an explanation of why more cases of reported food poisoning might be attributed to catering services than to restaurants. Choices A and B both provide reasons why restaurants should account for more cases, so they are incorrect. Choice C would suggest that there would be negligible differences between the likelihood of food poisoning at restaurants and at catered events, so it also sheds no light on the paradox and is therefore incorrect. Since the argument does not pertain to the location of catered banquets, Choice D is incorrect. That leaves Choice E. People who attend banquets are more likely than restaurant patrons to be part of a group that communicates with one another, so Choice E would help explain the higher number of reported food poisonings and is the correct answer.17．Years ago, consumers in Frieland began paying an energy tax in the form of two Frieland pennies for each unit of energy consumed that came from nonrenewable sources. Following the introduction of this energy tax, there was a steady reduction in the total yearly consumption of energy from nonrenewable sources.If the statements in the passage are true, then which of the following must on the basis of them be true?A．There was a steady decline in the yearly revenues generated by the energy tax in Frieland.B．There was a steady decline in the total amount of energy consumed each year in Frieland.C．There was a steady increase in the use of renewable energy sources in Frieland.D．The revenues generated by the energy tax were used to promote the use of energy from renewable sources.E．The use of renewable energy sources in Frieland greatly increased relative to the use of nonrenewable energy sources.正确答案：A解析：Since the energy tax is based upon the number of units of nonrenewable energy consumed, and since the number of units of nonrenewable energy declined, revenues generated by the energy tax must have declined as well. Choice A is therefore the correct answer. The passage gives no information on changes in the total amount of energy consumed, changes in the amount of energy from renewable sources that was used, or what revenues raised by the tax were used for, so all the other choices are incorrect.18．That sales can be increased by the presence of sunlight within a store has been shown by the experience of the only Savefast department store with a large skylight. The skylight allows sunlight into half of the store, reducing the need for artificial light. The rest of the store uses only artificial light. Since the store opened two years ago, the departments on the sunlit side have had substantially higher sales than the other departments.Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?A．On particularly cloudy days, more artificial light is used to illuminate the part of the store under the skylight.B．When the store is open at night, the departments in the part of the store under the skylight have sales that are no higher than those of other departments.C．Many customers purchase items from departments in both parts of the store on a single shopping trip.D．Besides the skylight, there are several significant architectural differences between the two parts of the store.E．The departments in the part of the store under the skylight are the departments that generally have the highest sales in other stores in the Savefast chain.正确答案：B解析：The passage compares sales of items in the sunlit part of the store with sales of items in the artificially lit part of the store and concludes that since the former are greater than the latter, the presence of sunlight increases sales. The assumption underlying this argument is that the only significant difference between the two parts of the store is the presence of sunlight—otherwise, the inherent popularity of goods sold in different locations, or some other factor, might account for the increased sales. Choice B helps rule out the possibility that other factors might be involved, by showing that sales are no greater when the sunlight is taken out of the equation. Therefore it is the correct answer. Choices D and E both suggest that factors besides sunlight might explain the discrepancy between sales; therefore they weaken rather than strengthen the argument, and so are incorrect. Neither Choice A nor Choice C point to differences between the two areas of the store; therefore they are both incorrect as well.。

VOICE: QUA VER::(A) pace: quicken(B) cheeks: dimple(C) concentration: focus(D) hand: tremble(E) eye: blinkMary Barton, particularly in its early chapters, is a moving response to the suffering of the industrial worker in the England of the 1840’s. Wh at is most impressive about the book is the intense and painstaking effort made(5) by the author, Elizabeth Gaskell, to convey the experience of everyday life in working-class homes. Her method is partly documentary in nature: the novel includes such features as a carefully annotated reproduction of dialect, the exact details of food prices in an account of a tea (10)party, an itemized description of the furniture of the Bartons’ living room, and a transcription (again annotated) of the ballad "The Oldham Weaver." The interest of this record is considerable, even though the methodhas a slightly distancing effect.(15) As a member of the middle class, Gaskell could hardly help approaching working-class life as an outside observer and a reporter, and the reader of the novel is always conscious of this fact. But there is genuine imaginative re-creation in her accounts of the walk in Green (20)Heys Fields, of tea at the Bartons’ house, and of John Barton and his friend’s discovery of the starving family in the cellar in the chapter "Poverty and Death." Indeed, for a similarly convincing recreation of such families’ emotions and responses (which are more crucialthan the (25)material details on which the mere reporter is apt to concentrate), the English novel had to wait 60 years for the early writing of D. H. Lawrence. If Gaskell never quite conveys the sense of full participation that would completely authenticate this aspect of Mary Barton, she (30)still brings to these scenes an intuitive recognition of feelings that has its own sufficient conviction.The chapter "Old Alice’s History " brilliantly dramatizes the situation of that early generation of workers brought from the villages and the countryside to the (35)urban industrial centers. The account of Job Legh, the weaver and naturalist who is devoted to the study of iology, vividly embodies one kind of response to an urban industrial environment: an affinity for living things that hardens, by its very contrast with its environ(40)ment,into a kind of crankiness. The early chapters―about factory workers walking out in spring into Green Heys Fields; about Alice Wilson, remembering in her cellar the twig- gathering for brooms in the native village that she will never again see; about Job Legh, intent on (45)his i mpaled insects― capture the characteristic responses of a generation to the new and crushing experience of industrialism. The other early chapters eloquently portray the development of the instinctive cooperation with each other that was already becoming an important radition among workers.17.Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward Gaskell’s use of the method of documentary record in Mary Barton?(A) Uncritical enthusiasm(B) Unresolved ambivalence(C) Qualified approval(D) Resigned acceptance(E) Mild irritation18. According to the passage, Mary Barton and the early novels of D. H. Lawrence share which of the following?(A) Depiction of the feelings of working-class families(B) Documentary objectivity about working-class circumstances(C) Richly detailed description of working-class adjustment to urban life(D) Imaginatively structured plots about working-class characters(E) Experimental prose style based on working-class dialect19. Which of the following is most closely analogous to Job Legh in Mary Barton, as that character is described in the passage?(A) An entomologist who collected butterflies as a child(B) A small-town attorney whose hobby is nature photography(C) A young man who leaves his family’s dairy farm to start his own business(D) A city dweller who raises exotic plants on the roof of his apartment building(E) A union organizer who works in a textile mill under dangerous conditions20. It can be inferred from examples given in the last paragraph of the passage that which of the following was part of "the new and crushing experience of industrialism" (lines 46-47) for many members of the English working class in the nineteenth century?(A) Extortionate food prices(B) Geographical displacement(C) Hazardous working conditions(D) Alienation from fellow workers(E) Dissolution of family ties21. It can be inferred that the author of the passage believes that Mary Barton might have been an even better novel if Gaskell had(A) concentrated on the emotions of a single character(B) made no attempt to re-create experiences of which she had no firsthand knowledge(C) made no attempt to reproduce working-class dialects(D) grown up in an industrial city(E) managed to transcend her position as an outsider22. Which of the following phrases could best be substituted for the phrase "this aspect of Mary Barton" in line 29 without changing the meaning of the passage as a whole?(A) the material details in an urban working-class environment(B) the influence of Mary Barton on lawrence’s early work(C) the place of Mary Barton in the development of the English novel(D) the extent of the poverty and physical suffering among England’s industrial workers in the 1840’s.(E) the portrayal of the particular feelings and responses of working-class characters23. The author of the passage describes Mary Barton as each of the following EXCEPT(A) insightful(B) meticulous(C) vivid(D) poignant(E) lyricalAs of the late 1980’s. neither theorists nor largescale computer climate models could accurately predict whether cloud systems would help or hurt a warming globe. Some studies suggested that a four percent (5)increase in stratocumulus clouds over the ocean could compensate for a doubling in atmospheric carbon dioxide, preventing a potentially disastrous planetwide temperature increase. On the other hand, an increase in cirrus clouds could increase global warming.(10) That clouds represented the weakest element in climate models was illustrated by a study of fourteen such models. Comparing climate forecasts for a world with double the current amount of carbon dioxide, researchers found that the models agreed quite well if clouds were (15)not included. But when clouds were incorporated, a wide range of forecasts was produced. With such discrepanciesplaguing the models, scientists could not easily predict how quickly the world’s climate would change, nor could they tell which regions would face dustier droughts or deadlier monsoons.24.The author of the passage is primarily concerned with(A) confirming a theory(B) supporting a statement(C) presenting new information(D) predicting future discoveries(E) reconciling discrepant findings25. It can be inferred that one reason the fourteen models described in the passage failed to agree was that(A) they failed to incorporate the most up-to-date information about the effect of clouds on climate(B) they were based on faulty information about factors other than clouds that affect climate.(C) they were based on different assumptions about the overall effects of clouds on climate(D) their originators disagreed about the kinds of forecasts the models should provide(E) their originators disagreed about the factors other than clouds that should be included in the models26. It can be inferred that the primary purpose of the models included in the study discussed in the second paragraph of the passage was to(A) predict future changes in the world’s climate(B) predict the effects of cloud systems on the world’s climate(C) find a way to prevent a disastrous planetwide temperature increase(D) assess the percentage of the Earth’s surface covered by cloud systems(E) estimate by how much the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere willincrease27. The information in the passage suggests that scientists would have to answer which of the following questions in order to predict the effect of clouds on the warming of the globe?(A) What kinds of cloud systems will form over the Earth?(B) How can cloud systems be encouraged to form over the ocean?(C) What are the causes of the projected planetwide temperature increase?(D) What proportion of cloud systems are currently composed of cirrus of clouds?(E) What proportion of the clouds in the atmosphere form over land masses?28.
