GRE作文issue 4

题目: Scandals are useful because they focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could.Any kind of news always pales in comparison with scandals, but a burgeoning and healthy society never rely entirely on scandals to disclose its internal problems.Indeed, scandals enjoy the ability of catching everyone’s attention with its magic power that is beyond all expectations of people. Social censorship, meanwhile, is lack of the ability of overseeing every trivial fields of the society so that there maybe some scandal seeds germinating out of public sight. Once they are cast into view, scandals always astonish everyone because they reveal the ugly truth that is transcend the boundaries of social morality and legislation. In fact, a lot of social events and reforms are triggered by scandals. In this sense, exposing scandals can purify a society.One apt illustration of this point involves the China’s tainted milk scandal in 2008. It drew significant attention of the public on September 8th that 14 infants in Gansu Province were diagnosed with renal calculus at the same time, and with the situation being continuously exacerbated, 59 infants were diagnosed in Gansu and one of them were dead. What thebabies had in common was that they all had drunk milk powder from the same brand named Sanlu, one of the biggest milk product companies in China at that time. The tragedy led scrutiny and rigorous investigations to the products of Sanlu Group in which investigators ultimately found a kind of toxic additive known as melamine, a chemical material that can increase the estimated value of protein and also can be extremely likely to cause kidney diseases. But this was just the beginning of the scandal, as another 22 companies including magnate companies in milk industry in China such as the Mengniu Dairy were put on the black list of adding melamine in their products in the later investigation. While these companies were taking the punishment they deserved, the scandal aroused a great disturbance on both national and international scale, resulting in massive changes in milk industry. Ironically, society is not the only thing that scandals can purify; so is milk powder.However, are all the behavior of unmasking scandals in the purpose of promoting the society? Of course not. Disclosers are also crazing about disclosing scandals aiming to satisfy inflated curiosities of the public, hype distinct mistakes made by the government and fabricate absurdities that could inflame some sensitivities. For that matter, there would be fearful consequences caused by revealing scandals. People’s faith in social fairness and justice would be oscillated with the trust and safetybuilt between people being devastated, and the whole society would fall apart in to a state of chaos.Moreover, is it necessary for all the scandals to be disclosed? The answer is no. For those scandals that would be of no good to the society even if they were disclosed, such as celebrity A having a glue-sniffing habit or senator B having had been in a history of drinking alcohol excessively, unmasking them would be meaningless.When a society is realizing its problems mostly through disclosing scandals, then the moral value and the system of social management, especially the judicial fairness and the system of public opinion are probably out of control. Hence, it is essential for a society to get a clear understanding of the role of scandals and the purpose of disclosing them.。

GRE（VERBAL）阅读模拟试卷4(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. PART ONEPART ONE （Time：30 minutes 38 Questions）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.Late-eighteenth-century English cultural authorities seemingly concurred that women readers should favor history, seen as edifying, than fiction, which was regarded as frivolous and reductive. Readers of Marry Ann Hanway’s novel Andrew Stewart, or the Northern Wanderer, learning that its heroine delights in David Hume’s and Edward Gibbon’s histories, could conclude that she was more virtuous and intelligent than her sister, who disdains such reading. Likewise, while the na?ve, novel-addicted protagonist of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey, Catherine Morland, finds history a chore, the sophisticated, sensible character Eleanor Tilney enjoys it more than she does the Gothic fiction Catherine prefers. Yet in both cases, the praise of history is more double-edged than it might actually appear. Many readers have detected a protofeminist critique of history in Catherine’s protest that she dislikes reading books filled with men “and hardly any women at all.”Hanway, meanwhile, brings a controversial political edge to her heroine’s reading, listing the era’s two most famous religious skeptics among her preferred authors. While Hume’s history was generally seen as being less objectionable as his philosophy, there were widespread doubts about his moral soundness even as a historian by the time that Hanway was writing, and Gibbon’s perceived tendency to celebrate classical paganism sparked controversy from the first appearance of his history of Rome.1．The author’s primary purpose is thatA．the evidence used in support of a particular argument is questionableB．a distinction between two genres of writing has been overlookedC．a particular issue is more complex than it might appearD．two apparently different works share common featuresE．two eighteenth-century authors held significantly different attitudes toward a particular正确答案：A解析：A选项中的a particular argument指的是文化权威们认为“女人应该多读历史”的观点，evidence指的是第二、三句。

gre四分作文范文

gre四分作文范文英文回答：The concept of freedom is a multifaceted and often contested one. From a philosophical perspective, freedom can be understood as the ability of an individual to make choices without external constraints. This concept has been explored by philosophers and scholars for centuries and has given rise to various theories on the nature of freedom. One influential theory, known as the "negative" theory of freedom, emphasizes the absence of constraints onindividual action. According to this theory, freedom requires the absence of both internal and external obstacles. Internal obstacles include psychological factors such as fear, desire, and ignorance, while external obstacles include social structures, institutions, and laws that restrict individual choice.From a political perspective, freedom is often associated with the ability of individuals to participatein the government and make decisions that affect their lives. This type of freedom is often referred to as "political freedom" and is usually exercised through the mechanisms of democracy, such as elections and referendums. In a democratic society, individuals have the right to vote for their representatives and to participate in public discourse on issues that affect their community. This type of freedom is essential for the functioning of a healthy and just society.However, it is important to note that freedom is often not absolute. There are certain limits to freedom that are necessary for the functioning of society. These limits include laws that protect the rights of others, such as laws against murder, theft, and assault. Additionally, there may be certain restrictions on freedom of speech or expression in order to protect national security or public order. The balance between individual freedom and the needs of society is a complex one, and it is one that is constantly being debated and negotiated.In some societies, freedom may be more restricted thanin others. This can be due to a variety of factors, such as political ideology, religious beliefs, or economic conditions. In societies where freedom is restricted, individuals may have little or no say in the decisions that affect their lives. They may be subject to arbitrary laws and punishments, and their basic rights may be violated. In such societies, the pursuit of freedom is often a dangerous and difficult endeavor.Despite the challenges, the pursuit of freedom is an essential one. It is a fundamental human right that allows individuals to live their lives with dignity and autonomy. Without freedom, we would be nothing more than slaves tothe circumstances of our birth.中文回答：自由的概念是一个多方面的，并且经常有争议的概念。

GRE全真考试题四

GRE全真考试题四阅读理解Passage 1The United States is unique in the extent to which it relies on the private sector to fund most of its health care system. In most of the other advanced industrial economies, government health expenditures are much higher than they are in the United States. With an aging population, growing medical costs, and an increasing number of uninsured Americans, proposals to expand government health care have gained momentum.One approach is to establish a single-payer system, which would eliminate private insurers and have the federal government finance all medical care. This type of system is already in place in Canada and some European countries.Another approach is the public option, which would be a government-run health insurance agency that would compete with private insurers. This type of proposal would allow individuals to choose between private insurance and public insurance. Both the public and private insurers would be required to offer coverage to people, regardless of their preexisting medical conditions.Critics of the public option argue that it would drive private insurers out of business, causing a loss of jobs and further straining the economy. Supporters counter that a public option would provide more competition, which would lead to lower prices and better coverage.1.What is the main idea of the passage?2.In what ways is the United States unique in its approach to fundinghealth care?3.What is a single-payer health care system?4.What is the public option and how does it differ from a single-payersystem?5.What are some arguments for and against the public option?Passage 2Forty-five million Americans lack health insurance. This is a crisis that affects not only the uninsured but also the insured, who face rising premiums and co-payments as hospitals pass on costs for uncompensated care. The problem of the uninsured will only get worse if we continue down our present path. The consequences of this crisis are severe: inadequate medical care for millions ofpeople, financial hardship and bankruptcy for those who become seriously ill, and a strain on the economy as health care costs increase.Opponents of reform argue that expanding coverage will be too expensive, resulting in higher taxes and overburdened government bureaucracies. They also argue that people are already receiving adequate medical care through hospital emergency rooms, which are required by law to treat anyone who shows up, regardless of their ability to pay.This reasoning is shortsighted and fails to recognize the high costs of our present system. Uninsured people receive inadequate medical care, which results in missed work and lost wages. When uninsured people become seriously ill, they are often forced to depend on expensive emergency room care, which puts a burden on hospitals and raises costs for everyone. By providing comprehensive coverage, we can lower health care costs and improve the health and well-being of our citizens.6.What is the main problem facing the United States in terms of healthcare?7.How does the issue of the uninsured affect the insured population?8.What are the consequences of the health care crisis?9.What are the arguments against expanding health care coverage?10.What are the costs of our present system, and how would expandingcoverage improve health care costs?文本填空Organizations benefit when they __1__the career development of their employees.

During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.He had a perfect résumé and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustwo rthy,〞so she decided to offer the job to her second choice.“It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,〞Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different〞behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding. He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting (避开) your eyes.“I was just thrown off by the lack of eye contact; not realizing it was cultural,〞Tiffany says. “I missed out, but will not miss that opportunity again.〞Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions.Hire AdvantageAt a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult, employers who can eliminate invalid biases (偏见) from the process have a distinct advantage. My company, Mindsets LLC, helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots. A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make.“During my Mindsets coaching session, I was ta ught how to recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets. The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company. When the real estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to say in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession.〞Blinded by GenderDale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse workforce. “Through one of the sessions, I discovered my personal bias,〞he recalls. “I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whole person, and being open to differences.〞In his case, the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.“I had a management pos ition open in my department; and the two finalists were a man and a woman. Had I not attended this workshop, I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel. My reasoning would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position, I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel.〞Dale’s assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but in correct thinking that limits an organization’s ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce.“I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation, I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision.〞Dale credits the workshop, “because it helped me make decisions based on fairness.〞Year of the Know-It-AllDoug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops. He recalls a major lesson learned from his own employee.“One of my most embarrassing moments was when I had a Chinese-American employee put in a request to take time off to celebrate Chinese New Year. In my ignorance, I assumed he had his dates wrong’, as the first of January had just passed. When I advised him of this, I gave him a tong talking-to about turning in requests early with the proper dates.“He patiently waited, then when I was done, he said he would like Chinese New Year off, not the We stern New Year. He explained politely that in his culture the new year did not begin January first, and that Chinese New Year, which is tied to the lunar cycle, is one of the most celebrated holidays on the Chinese calendar. Needless to say, I felt very embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up. But I learned a great deal about assumptions, and that the timing of holidays varies considerably from culture to culture.“Attending the diversity workshop helped me realize how much I could learn by simp ly asking questions and creating dialogues with toy employees, rather than making assumptions and trying to be a know-it-all,〞Doug admits. “The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learning how to be more ‘inclusive’ to differences.〞A Better Bottom LineAn open mind about diversity not only improves organizations internally, it is profitable as well. These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales. “Most of my customers speak English as a second language. One of the best things my company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone. It wasn’t until my boss received Mindsets’ training that she was able to understand how important inclusiveness wa s to customer service. As a result, our customer base has increased.〞Once we start to see people as individuals, and discard the stereotypes, we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone. Diversity is about coming together and taking advantage of our differences and similarities. It is about building better communities and organizations that enhance us as individuals and reinforce our shared humanity.When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learned from our past, from the media, peers, family, friends, etc., we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are flawed(有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values. We need to train ourselves to think differently, shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opens doors for all of us, creating opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit everyone.28. Tiffany’s misjudgment about the candidate stemmed from _______.A. racial stereotypesB. invalid personal biasC. cultural ignoranceD. emphasis on physical appearance29. What kind of organization is Mindsets LLC?A. A real estate agency.B. A personnel training company.C. A cultural exchange organization.D. A hi-tech company.30. After one of the workshops, account executive Dale realized that ____.A. he had hired the wrong personB. he could have done more for his companyC. he had not managed his workforce wellD. he must get rid of his gender bias31. What did Dale think of Mindsets LLC’s workshop?A. It was well-intentioned but poorly conducted.B. It tapped into the executives’ full potential.C. It helped him make fair decisions.D. It met participants’ diverse needs.DThat’s enough, kidsIt was a lovely day at the park and Stella Bianchi was enjoying the sunshine with her two children when a young boy, aged about four, approached her two-year-old son and pushed him to the ground.“I’d watched him for a little while and my son was the fourth or fifth child he’d shoved,〞she says.〞I went over to them, picked up my son, turned to the boy and s aid, firmly, ’No, we don’t push,〞What happened next was unexpected.“The boy’s mother ran toward me from across the park,〞Stella says,〞I thought she was coming over to apologize, but instead she started shouting at me for disciplining her child, All I did was let him know his behavior was unacceptable. Was I supposed to sit back while her kid did whatever he wanted, hurting other children in the process?〞Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. Dealing with other people’s children has become a minefield.In my house, jumping on the sofa is not allowed. In my sister’s house it’s encouraged. For her, it’s about kids being kids:〞If you can’t do it at three, when can you do it?〞Each of these philosophies is valid and, it has to be said, m y son loves visiting his aunt’s house. But I find myself saying “no〞a lot when her kids are over at mine. That’s OK between sisters but becomes dangerous territory when you’re talking to the children of friends or acquaintances.“Kids aren’t all raised th e same,〞agrees Professor Naomi White of Monash University.〞But there is still an idea that they’re the property of the parent. We see our children as an extension of ourselves, so if you’re saying that my child is be having inappropriately, then that’s so mehow a criticism of me.〞In those circumstances, it’s difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or the parent first. There are two schools of thought.“I’d go to the child first,〞says Andrew Fuller, author of Tricky Kids. Usually a quiet r eminder that ’we don’t do that here’ is enough. Kids nave finely tuned antennae (直觉) for how to behave in different settings.〞He points out bringing it up with the parent first may make them feel neglectful, which could cause problems. Of course, approaching the child first can bring its own headaches, too.This is why White recommends that you approach the parents first. Raise your concerns with the parents if they’re there and ask them to deal with it,〞she says.Asked how to approach a parent in this situation, psychologist Meredith Fuller answers:〞Explain your needs as well as stressing the importance of the friendship. Preface your remarks with something like: ’I know you’ll think I’m silly but in m y house I don’t want…’〞When it comes to situations wh ere you’re caring for another child, white is straightforward: “common sense must prevail. If things don’t go well, then have a chat.〞There’re a couple of new grey areas. Physical punishment, once accepted from any adult, is no longer appropriate. “A new set of considerations has come to the fore as part of the debate about how we handle children.〞For Andrew Fuller, the child-centric nature of our society has affected everyone:〞The rules are different now from when today’s parents were growing up,〞he sa ys, “Adults are scared of saying: ’don’t swear’, or asking a child to stand up on a bus. They’re worried that there will be conflict if they point these things out – either from older children, or their parents.〞He sees it as a loss of the sense of common public good and public courtesy (礼貌), and says that adults suffer form it as much as child.Meredith Fuller agrees: “A code of conduct is hard to create when you’re living in a world in which everyone is exhaustedfrom overwork and lack of sleep, and a world in which nice people are perceived to finish last.〞“it’s about what I’m doing and what I need,〞Andrew Fuller says. 〞the days when a kid came home from school and said, “I got into trouble〞. And dad said, ‘you probably deserved it’. Are over. Now the parents are charging up to the school to have a go at teachers.〞This jumping to our children’s defense is part of what fuels the “walking on eggshells〞feeling that surrounds our dealings with other people’s children. You know that if you remonstrate(劝诫) with the child, you’re going to have to deal with the parent. it’s admirable to be protective of our kids, but is it good?“Children have to learn to negotiate the world on their own, within reasonable boundaries,〞White says. “I suspect that it’s only cer tain sectors of the population doing the running to the school –better –educated parents are probably more likely to be too involved.〞White believes our notions of a more child-centred, it’s a way of talking about treating our children like commodities(商品). We’re centred on them but in ways that reflect positively on us. We treat them as objects whose appearance and achievements are something we can be proud of, rather than serve the best interests of the children.〞One way over-worked, under-resourced parents show commitment to their children is to leap to their defence. Back at the park, Bianchi’s intervention(干预) on her son’s behalf ended in an undignified exchange of insulting words with the other boy’s mother.As Bianchi approached the park bench where she’d been sitting, other mums came up to her and congratulated her on taking a stand. “Apparently the boy had a longstanding reputation for bad behaviour and his mum for even worse behaviour if h e was challenged.〞Andrew Fuller doesn’t believe that we should be afraid of dealing with other people’s kids. “look at kids that aren’t your own as a potential minefield,〞he says. He recommends that we don’t stay silent over inappropriate behaviour, particularly with regular visitors.32. What did Stella Bianchi expect the young boy’s mother to do when she talked to him?A. make an apologyB. come over to interveneC. discipline her own boyD. take her own boy away33. Due to the child-centric nature of our society,A. parents are worried when their kids swear at themB. people think it improper to criticize kids in publicC. people are reluctant to point our kids’ wrongdoingsD. many conflicts arise between parents and their kids34. In a world where everyone is exhausted from over work and lack of sleep, .A. it’s easy for people to become impatientB. it’s difficult to create a code of conductC. it’s important to be friendly to everybodyD. it’s hard for people to admire each other35.

rebuffing his patron for neglecting and declining further support.Johnson’s rejection of his patron’s belated assistance has often been identified as a key moment in the history of publishing,marking the end of the culture of patronage.However,patronage had been in decline for50years,yet would survive,in attenuated form,for another50.Indeed,Johnson was in1762awarded a pension by the Crown–a subtle form of sponsorship,tantamount to state patronage.The importance of Johnson’s letter is not so much historical as emotional;it would become a touchstone for all who repudiated patrons and for all who embraced the laws of the marketplace.7.The author of the passage mentions Johnson’s1762pension award in order toA.reveal that Johnson remained consistent in his rebuke of Lord Chesterfield well after1755B.provide evidence for a general trend in the later half of the eighteenth century of privatepatronage’s being replaced by state sponsorshipC.situated the debate over the end of patronage within the wider realm of eighteenth-centuryeconomic historyD.suggest that Johnson’s letter to Chesterfield was noticed by the crown only years after it waspublishedE.emphasize that patronage still helped support Johnson’s writing after his letter to Chesterfield8.Which of the following best describes the function of the highlighted sentence in the context ofthe passage as a whole?A.It points out the most obvious implications of Johnson’s letter to his patronB.It suggests a motivation for Johnson’s rejection of Chesterfield’s patronageC.It provides information that qualifies the assertion that Johnson’s letter sharply defined the endof a publishing eraD.It provides a possible defense for Chesterfield’s alleged neglect of JohnsonE.It refutes the notion that patrons are found primarily among the nobility“Blues is for singing,”writes folk musicologist Paul Oliver,and“is not a form of folk song that stan…(?)particularly well when written down.”A poet who wants to write blues can attempt to avoid this problem poeticizing the form–but literary blues tend to read like bad poetry rather than like refined folk song.For Oliver,the true spirit of the blues inevitably eludes the self-conscious imitator.However,Langston Hughes,the first writer to grapple with these difficulties of blue poetry in fact succeeded in producing poems that capture the quality of genuine,performed blues while remaining effective as poems.In inventing blues poetry,Hughes solved two problems:first,how to write blues lyrics in such a way that they work on the printed page,and second,how to exploit the blues form poetically without losing all sense of authenticity.There are many styles of blues,but the distinction of importance to Hughes is between the genres referred to as“folk blues”and“classic blues.”Folk blues and classic blues are distinguishedfrom one another by differences in performers(local talents versus touring professionals), patronage(local community versus mass audience),creation(improvised versus composed),and transmission(oral versus written).It has been a commonplace among critics that Hughes adopted the classic blues as the primary model for his blues poetry,and that he writes his best blues poetry when he tries least to imitate the folk blues.In this view,Hughes’attempts to imitate the folk blues are too self-conscious,too determined to romanticize the African American experience,too intent on reproducing what he takes to be the quaint humor and naïve simplicity of the folk blues to be successful.But a more realistic view is that by conveying his perceptions as a folk artist ought to–through an accumulation of details over the span of his blues oeuvre,rather than by overloading each poem with quaintness and naivety–Hughes made his most important contributions to the genre.His blues poems are in fact closer stylistically to the folk blues on which he modeled them than to the cultivated classic blues.Arnold Rampersad has observed that virtually all of the poems in the1927collection in which Hughes essentially originated blues poetry fall deliberatively within the“range of utterance of common folk.This surely applies to“Y oung Gal’s Blues,”in which Hughes avoids the conventionally“poetic”language and images that the subjects of death and love sometimes elicit in his ordinary lyric poetry.T o see what Hughes’blues poetry might have been like if he had truly adopted the classic blues as his model,one need only look to“Golden Brown Blues,”a song lyric Hughes wrote for composer W.C.Handy.Its images,allusions,and diction are conspicuously remote from the common“range of utterance.”9.The primary purpose of the passage is toA.describe the influence of folk and classic blues on blues poetryB.analyze the effect of African American culture on Blues poetryC.demonstrate that the language used in Hughes’blues poetry is colloquialD.defend Hughes’blues poetry against criticism that it is derivativeE.refute an accepted view of Hughes’blues poetry style10.The author of the passage uses the highlighted quotation primarily toA.indicate how blues poetry should be performedB.highlighted the difficulties faced by writers of blues poetryC.support the idea that blues poetry is a genre doomed to failD.illustrate the obstacles that blues poetry is unable to overcomeE.suggest that written forms of blues are less authentic than sung blues]11.It can be inferred from the passage that,as compared with the language of“Golden BrownBlues,”the language of“Y oung Gal’s Blues”isA.more colloquialB.more melodiousC.marked by more allusionsD.characterized by more conventional imageryE.more typical of classic blues song lyrics12.According to the passage,Hughes’blues poetry and classic blues are similar in which of thefollowing ways?A.Both are improvisedB.Both are written downC.Both are intended for the same audienceD.Neither uses colloquial languageE.Neither is professionally performed13.Far from innovations,as

designing experiments to be conducted during space flights has been made available by the government space program to university biologists not already employed by the space program.From the fact that little interest has been expressed in this offer,however,it cannot be concluded that virtually the only biologists interested in research that such experiments could address are those biologists already employed by the space program,since17.Which of the following most logically complete the passage?A.relatively few of the biologists already employed by the space program have ever helduniversity positions.B.there are more research biologist in industry than at universities.C.biologists are not the only scientists interested in research that could be furthered by theopportunity to conduct experiments in space.D.the space program employs only a small percentage of the research biologists employed by thegovernment.E.Much of the biological research currently funded by the government’s space program isconcerned with the biological effects of a weightless environment.The recent announced discovery of the first known planet orbiting a pulsar(the ultradense, pulsating remnant off the supernova explosion of a star)turned out to be based on faulty data.Had this discovery been confirmed,theorists would have had difficulty accounting for the existence of such a planet.The supernova would certainly have destroyed any preexisting planets.This particular pulsar is relatively young,allowing little time for a new planet to have coalesced,and it rotates relatively slowly,implying that it has not interacted with any nearby star since the supernova.But newer evidence of a different pulsar with planets is more promising.This is a rapidly spurring“millisecond pulsar”thought to be a much older object that has pulled gaseous material from a stellar neighbor,causing its rotational speed to increase.Leftover,unconsumed gas around such a pulsar could,in theory,coalesce into planets.Or the pulsar’s radiation might have vaporized a companion star,providing new material for planetary formation.18.The primary purpose of the passage is toA.provide an example of the dangers of a recent discovery based on faulty dataB.illustrate the difficulty of explanation concerning a recent discoveryC.assess the credibility of recent findings concerning the as yet unverified existence of a class ofobjectsD.argue that a certain hypothesis fails to account for a seemingly contradictory phenomenonE.demonstrate how difficult it might be to find out the reality of a phenomenon19.Which of the following can be inferred regarding the pulsar discussed in the first paragraph?A.Theorists initially doubted its existence.B.If its existence had been confirmed,astronomers would and have turned their attention to thepulsar discussed in the second paragraph.C.If the supernovas explosions that created it had been more powerful,the resulting radiationwould have preceded the subsequent formation of a planet.D.If it had interacted with a nearby star since the supernova explosion,it would rotate faster thanit does.E.Astronomers’interest in it ultimately led to a new theory of planetary formation.20.(?)Section21.Barring the discovery of new letters,hidden diaries,or the like,fresh information abouteminent people is hard to find because

H.inconsequentialC.triviality pete I.intangibleDuring the Pleistocene epoch,several species of elephants isolated on islands underwent rapid dwarfing.This phenomenon was not necessarily confined to the Pleistocene,but may have occurred much earlier in the southeastern Asian islands,although evidence is fragmentary.Several explanations are possible for this dwarfing.For example,islands often have not been colonized by large predators or are too small to hold viable predator populations.Once free from predation pressure,large body size is of little advantage to herbivores.Additionally,island habitats have limited food resources,a smaller body size and a need for fewer resources would thus be favored. Interestingly,the island rule is reversed for small mammals such as rodents,for which gigantism is favored under insular conditions.7.The primary purpose of the passage is toA.question the plausibility of one explanation sometimes offered for the dwarfing of certainspecies living on islands.B.argue that dwarfing of certain species living on islands occurred prior to the Pleistocene.C.cite evidence suggesting that dwarfing may have adverse consequences for some species livingon islands.D.present some possible explanations for the dwarfing of certain species living on islands.E.contrast the effect of insular conditions on species with large body size and species with smallbody.8.According to the passage,which of the following statements about body size in mammals istrue?A.A large body is unfavorable to mammalian species’survival under most conditions.B.A large body tens to benefit small mammals living on islands.C.For most herbivorous mammals,a large body size is easier to sustain in the absence of largepredators.D.Under most conditions,a small body is less beneficial to herbivorous mammals than tonon-herbivorous mammals.E.Among non-herbivorous mammals,a small body is more beneficial on an island than on amainland.The“deindustrialization”thesis of Bluestone and Harrison asserts that the replacement of domestic with foreign manufacturing begun by United States corporations in the late1960s resulted in a“hollowing out”of American industry,whereby workers displaced from manufacturing jobs through massive plant closings found themselves moving more or less permanently into lower-paying,less secure jobs or into unemployment.Critics of the deindustrialization thesis have argued that new service and high-technology sectors of the United states economy have recently created a substantial number of jobs.While these critics do not deny the painful aspects of this transition from an industrial to a service-and information-based economy,they argue that it will be short-term,and a necessary evil if the United States is to have a long-term increase in living standards.Critics of the emerging economy,however point to disturbing evidence of an “hourglass”effect:a shrinking middle tier of managerial and blue-collar unionized workers and consequent polarization of incomes.The emergence of a technical and financial elite,they argue, has brought forth a host of low-wage jobs to service the new economy,and it is this service sector that many ex-industrial workers must seek.9.The purpose of the passage is toA.analyze the events that contributed to an economic phenomenonB.present different views on the nature and impact of an economic phenomenonC.distinguish between the short-term and long-term effects of an economic phenomenonD.challenge a dominant theory about how to solve the problems created by an economicphenomenonE.present new evidence to suggest that an economic phenomenon is more complex than hadpreviously been believed10.Which of the following,if true,would most tend to weaken the deindustrialization thesis ofBluestone and Harrison?A.A survey of the spouses of former industrial workers reveals a significant increase in thenumber of working spouses since the mid-1960s.B.Data from the most recent United States census show that fewer individuals list theiroccupation as industrial worker than in the census from ten years earlier.C.A random survey of United States consumers indicates that a majority of those surveyed wouldprefer to buy united states-manufacturing goods if given the opportunity.D.A recent study indicates that large numbers of former industrial workers have retrained andfound employment as skilled,highly-paid computer workers.E.Interviews with representatives at major agencies for temporary employment in the UnitedStates suggest that they value the skills of the former industrial workers.11.It can be inferred from the passage that the highlighted“critics”believe which of the followingabout“hourglass”effect?A.It involves the relegation of industrial workers to less desirable jobs.B.It requires that workers make short-term sacrifices to achieve long-term gains.C.It affects non-unionized workers more strongly than it does unionized workers.D.It represents an increase in unemployment for those in the service sector.E.It threatens the status of the technological and financial elite.12.One is that so far,web services have turned out to be much harder to deliver thantheir champions had hoped.A.hopeB.snagC.prospectD.hitchE.upshotF.reason13.Asserting a need to preserve the that became the hallmark of her predecessor’s tenure,the new director of federal monetary policy refused to

are a species of coral-reef fish that are captured alive by divers who first stun the individual fish by squirting a certain poison at them.Since the divers limit their catch to a few individuals and take care not to overfish,the divers’continuing activities will clearly not result in serious harm to populations of princessfish.16.Which of the following,if true,most seriously weaken the argument given?A.Princessfish cannot be captured alive by traditional methods of fishing.B.The poison used to stun the princessfish has no effect on humans who eat them.C.Demand for princessfish has remained steady during the last decade.D.T races of the poison that remain in the seawater damage the Corals that create and maintain thereefs on which princessfish depend.E.Fish that have been stunned but have selected for capture by the divers soon recover from thetemporary effect of the poison.Was resource intensification–an increase in labor and time devoted to subsistence activities in order to increase food yields–by Dorset Paleo-Eskimos and Recent Indians on the island of Newfoundland simply a response to population pressure?Not exactly.On Newfoundland, population pressure did not result from a steadily growing resident population but,rather,from the arrival and lingering presence of new and significantly different populations.Newfoundland’s hunter-gatherer populations–both resident and newcomer–adjusted to the presence of other populations through niche differentiation.Building on a tradition that emphasized marine resources, Dorset Paleo-Eskimos intensified their harvest of seals in response to the arrival of Recent Indians in the first few centuries A.D.Recent Indians who were more familiar with broad-based, interior-maritime adaptation,intensified this strategy to cope with the Dorset.17.According to the passage,which of the following resulted from the arrival of the recentIndians?A.The Dorset Paleo-Eskimos were forced to compete with the Recent Indians for a limited supplyof seals.B.The Dorset Paleo-Eskimos spent more time harvesting seals than they had in the past.C.The Dorset Paleo-Eskimos increased the amount of labor and time devoted to defending theirterritory.D.The Dorset Paleo-Eskimos began to adopt new subsistence strategies they learned from theRecent Indians.E.The previously steady growth of the Dorset Paleo-Eskimos population came to a halt.18.Which of the following best describes the function of the highlighted sentence in the context ofthe passage as a whole?A.It points out a flaw in a theory discussed earlier in the passage.B.It demonstrates the need for additional research on a phenomenon mentioned earlier in thepassage.C.It underscores the importance of a trait mentioned earlier in the passage.D.it supports an assertion made earlier in the passage.E.It questions the evidence for a tradition mentioned earlier in the passage.Founder mutations are a class of disease-causing genetic mutations,each derived from its own ancestral“founder”in whom the mutation originated,While most disease-causing mutated are found in humans at a rate of one in a few thousand to one in a few million people,founder mutation can occur at much higher rates,This apparent anomaly is partially explained by the fact that most founder mutations are recessive:only a person with copies of the affected gene from both parentsbecomes ill.Most people with only one copy of the gene—“carriers”—survive and pass the gene to offspring.Furthermore,the single copy of a founder mutation often confers a survival advantage on carriers.For example,the hereditary hemochromatosis mutation protects carriers from iron-deficiency anemia because the mutated gene allows increased efficiency of iron absorption.19.The passage indicates which of the following about founder mutations?A.Carriers of founder mutation may receive certain benefits from the mutated gene.B.People who inherit founder mutations from both parents can become ill as a result.C.Founder mutations are less likely than other mutations to be passed to offspring.20.The author of the passage mentions the hereditary hemochromatosis mutation”primarily inorder to illustrate(?)A.the circumstances under which a founder mutation fails to cause a diseaseB.how difficult it is to predict the effects of founder mutations on carriersC.the difference between harmful founder mutation and those that are beneficialD.how a single copy of a founder mutation can benefit a carrierE.a challenge to a particular about the transmission of founder mutations。

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.。

GRE(QUANTITATIVE)综合模拟试卷4(题后含答案及解析)

GRE（QUANTITATIVE）综合模拟试卷4(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. The correct answer is Choice A.10．Medium QuestionApproximately what percent of the faculty in humanities are male?A．35%B．38%C．41%D．45%E．51%正确答案：E解析：You need to determine the numbers of female and male faculty in the humanities field. According to the graph, 17 percent of the 200 females, or 34, and 14 percent of the 250 males, or 35, are in humanities. 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.。
