1994年10月SECTION AThe Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1868, prohibits state governments from denying citizens the “equal protection of the laws.”Although precisely what the framers of the amendment meant by this equal protection clause remains unclear, all interpreters agree that the framers’ immediate objective was to provide a constitutional warrant for the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which guaranteed the citizenship of all persons born in the United States and subject to United States jurisdiction. This declaration, which was echoed in the text of the Fourteenth Amendment, was designed primarily to counter the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dred Scott v. Sandford that Black people in the United States could be denied citizenship. The act was vetoed by President Andrew Johnson, who argued that the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery, did not provide Congress with the authority to extend citizenship and equal protection to the freed slaves. Although Congress promptly overrode Johnson’s veto, supporters of the act sought to ensure its constitutional foundations with the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment.The broad language of the amendment strongly suggests that its framers were proposing to write into the Constitution not a laundry list of specific civil rights but a principle of equal citizenship that forbids organized society from treating any individual as a member of an inferior class. Yet for the first eight decades of the amendment’s existence, the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the amendment betrayed this ideal of equality. In the Civil Rights Cases of 1883, for example, the Court invented the “state action” limitation, which asserts that “private” decisions by owners of public accommodations and other commercial businesses to segregate their facilities are insulated from the reach of the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection under the law.After the Second World War, a judicial climate more hospitable to equal protection claims culminated in the Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v. Board of Education that racially segregated schools violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Two doctrines embraced by the Supreme Court during this period extended the amendment’s reach. First, the Court required especially strict scrutiny of legislation that employed a “suspect classification,” meaning discrimination against a group on grounds that could be construed as racial. This doctrine has broadened the application of the Fourteenth Amendment to other, nonracial forms of discrimination, for while some justices have refused to find any legislative classification other than race to be constitutionally disfavored, most have been receptive to arguments that at least some nonracial discriminations, sexual discrimination in particular, are “suspect” and deserve this heightened scrutiny by the courts. Second, the Court relaxed the state action limitation on the Fourteenth Amendment, bringing new forms of private conduct within the amendment’s reach.17. Which of the following best describes the main idea of the passage?(A) By presenting a list of specific rights, framers of the Fourteenth Amendmentwere attempting to provide a constitutional basis for broad judicial protection ofthe principle of equal citizenship.(B) Only after the Supreme Court adopted the suspect classification approach toreviewing potentially discriminatory legislation was the applicability of theFourteenth Amendment extended to include sexual discrimination.(C) Not until after the Second World War did the Supreme Court begin to interpretthe Fourteenth Amendment in a manner consistent with the principle of equalcitizenship that it expresses.(D) Interpreters of the Fourteenth Amendment have yet to reach consensus withregard to what its framers meant by the equal protection clause.(E) Although the reluctance of judges to extend the reach of the FourteenthAmendment to nonracial discrimination has betrayed the principle of equalcitizenship, the Supreme Court’s use of the state action limitation to insulateprivate activity from the amendment’s reach has been more harmful.18. The passage suggests that the principal effect of the state action limitation was to(A) allow some discriminatory practices to continue unimpeded by the FourteenthAmendment(B) influence the Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v, Board of Education(C) provide expanded guidelines describing prohibited actions(D) prohibit states from enacting laws that violated the intent of the Civil Rights Actof 1866(E) shift to state governments the responsibility for enforcement of laws prohibitingdiscriminatory practices19. The author’s position regarding the intent of the framers of the FourteenthAmendment would be most seriously undermined if which of the following were true?(A) The framers had anticipated state action limitations as they are described in thepassage.(B) The framers had merely sought to prevent discriminatory acts by federalofficials.(C) The framers were concerned that the Civil Rights Act of 1866 would beoverturned by the Supreme Court.(D) The framers were aware that the phrase “equal protection of the laws” hadbroad implications.(E) The framers believed that racial as well as non-racial forms of discriminationwere unacceptable.20. According to the passage, the original proponents of the Fourteenth Amendmentwere primarily concerned with(A) detailing the rights afforded by the principle of equal citizenship(B) providing support in the Constitution for equal protection for all citizens of theUnited States(C) closing a loophole that could be used to deny individuals the right to sue forenforcement of their civil rights(D) asserting that the civil rights protected by the Constitution included nonracialdiscrimination as well as racial discrimination(E) granting state governments broader discretion in interpreting the Civil RightsAct of 186621. The author implies that the Fourteenth Amendment might not have been enacted if(A) Congress’ authority with regard to legislating civil rights had not beenchallenged(B) the framers had anticipated the Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v. Board ofEducation(C) the framers had believed that it would be used in deciding cases ofdiscrimination involving non-racial groups(D) most state governments had been willing to protect citizens’ civil rights(E) its essential elements had not been implicit in the Thirteenth Amendment22. According to the passage, which of the following most accurately indicates thesequence of the events listed below?I. Civil Rights Act of 1866II. Dred Scott v. SandfordIII. Fourteenth AmendmentIV. Veto by President Johnson(A) I, II, III, IV(B) I, IV, II, III(C) I, IV, III, II(D) II, I, IV, III(E) III, II, I, IV23. Which of the following can be inferred about the second of the two doctrines referredto in lines 39-41 of the passage?(A) It caused some justices to rule that all types of discrimination are prohibited bythe Constitution.(B) It shifted the focus of the Supreme Court from racial to nonracial discrimination.(C) It narrowed the concern of the Supreme Court to legislation that employed asuspect classification.(D) It caused legislators who were writing new legislation to reject language thatcould be construed as permitting racial discrimination.(E) It made it more difficult for commercial businesses to practice racialdiscrimination.The Earth’s magnetic field is generated as the molten iron of the Earth’s outer core revolves around its solid inner core. When surges in the molten iron occur, magnetic tempests are created. At the Earth’s surface, these tempests can be detected by changes in the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field. For reasons not fully understood, the field itself reverses periodically every million years or so. During the past million years, for instance, the magnetic north pole has migrated between the Antarctic and the Arctic.Clearly, geophysicists who seek to explain and forecast changes in the field must understand what happens in the outer core. Unlike meteorologists, however, they cannot rely on observations made in their own lifetimes. Whereas atmospheric storms arise in a matter of hours and last for days, magnetic tempests develop over decades and persist for centuries. Fortunately scientists have been recording changes in the Earth’s magnetic field for more than 300 years.24. In the passage, the author is primarily concerned with(A) analyzing a complicated scientific phenomenon and its impact on the Earth’ssurface features(B) describing a natural phenomenon and the challenges its study presents toresearchers(C) discussing a scientific field of research and the gaps in researchers’methodological approaches to it(D) comparing two distinct fields of physical science and the different researchmethods employed in each(E) proposing an explanation for a geophysical phenomenon and an experiment thatcould help confirm that explanation25. The passage suggests which of the following about surges in the Earth’s outer core?(A) They occur cyclically every few decades.(B) They can be predicted by changes in the Earth’s inner core.(C) They are detected through indirect means.(D) They are linked to disturbances in the Earth’s atmosphere.(E) They last for periods of about 1 million years.26. It can be inferred from the passage that geophysicists seeking to explain magnetictempests ought to conduct research on the Earth’s outer core because the Earth’souter core(A) is more fully understood than the Earth’s magnetic field(B) is more easily observed than the Earth’s magnetic field(C) has been the subject of extensive scientific observation for 300 years(D) is involved in generating the Earth’s magnetic field(E) reflects changes in the inner core caused by magnetic tempests27. In the second paragraph, the author is primarily concerned with(A) stating a limitation that helps determine a research methodology(B) making a comparative analysis of two different research methodologies(C) assessing the amount of empirical data in the field of physical science(D) suggesting an optimistic way of viewing a widely feared phenomenon(E) describing a fundamental issue and discussing its future impact on societySECTION BThe defoliation of millions of acres of trees by massive infestations of gypsy moth caterpillars is a recurring phenomenon in the northeastern United States. In studying these outbreaks, scientists have discovered that affected trees fight back by releasing toxic chemicals, mainly phenols, into their foliage. These noxious substances limit caterpillars’growth and reduce the number of eggs that female moths lay. Phenols also make the eggs smaller, which reduces the growth of the following year’s caterpillars. Because the number of eggs a female moth produces is directly related to her size, and because her size is determined entirely by her feeding success as a caterpillar, the trees’ defensive mechanism has an impact on moth fecundity.The gypsy moth is also subject to attack by the nucleopolyhedrosis virus, or wilt disease, a particularly important killer of the caterpillars in outbreak years. Caterpillars contract wilt disease when they eat a leaf to which the virus, encased in a protein globule, has become attached. Once ingested by a caterpillar, the protein globule dissolves, releasing thousands of viruses, or virions, that after about two weeks multiply enough to fill the entire body cavity. When the caterpillar dies, the virions are released to the outside, encased in a new protein globule synthesized from the caterpillar’s tissues and ready to be picked up by other caterpillars.Knowing that phenols, including tannins, often act by associating with and altering the activity of proteins, researchers focused on the effects on caterpillars of ingesting the virus and leaves together. They found that on tannin-rich oak leaves, the virus is considerably less effective at killing caterpillars than when it is on aspen leaves, which are lower in phenols. In general, the more concentrated the phenols in tree leaves, the less deadly the virus. Thus, while highly concentrated phenols in tree leaves reduce the caterpillar population by limiting the size of caterpillars and, consequently, the size of the female’s egg cluster, these same chemicals also help caterpillars survive by disabling the wilt virus. Forest stands of red oaks, with their tannin-rich foliage, may even provide caterpillars with safe havens from disease. In stands dominated by trees such as aspen, however, incipient gypsy moth outbreaks are quickly suppressed by viral epidemics.Further research has shown that caterpillars become virtually immune to the wilt virus as the trees on which they feed respond to increasing defoliation. The trees’ own defenses raise the threshold of caterpillar vulnerability to the disease, allowing populations to grow denser without becoming more susceptible to infection. For these reasons, the benefits to the caterpillars of ingesting phenols appear to outweigh the costs. Given the presence of the virus, the trees’ defensive tactic apparently has backfired.17. Which of the following statements best expresses the main point of the passage?(A) Recurring outbreaks of infestation by gypsy moth caterpillars have had adevastating impact on trees in the northeastern United States.(B) A mechanism used by trees to combat the threat from gypsy moth caterpillarshas actually made some trees more vulnerable to that threat.(C) Although deadly to gypsy moth caterpillars, wilt disease has failed tosignificantly affect the population density of the caterpillars.(D) The tree species with the highest levels of phenols in their foliage are the mostsuccessful in defending themselves against gypsy moth caterpillars.(E) In their efforts to develop new methods for controlling gypsy moth caterpillars,researchers have focused on the effects of phenols in tree leaves on the insects’growth and reproduction.18. In lines 12-14, the phrase “the trees’ defensive mechanism has an impact on mothfecundity” refers to which of the following phenomena?(A) Female moths that ingest phenols are more susceptible to wilt virus, whichcauses them to lay smaller eggs.(B) Highly concentrated phenols in tree leaves limit caterpillars’ food supply,thereby reducing the gypsy moth population.(C) Phenols attack the protein globule that protects moth egg clusters, making themvulnerable to wilt virus and lowering their survival rate.(D) Phenols in oak leaves drive gypsy moths into forest stands dominated by aspens,where they succumb to viral epidemics.(E) The consumption of phenols by caterpillars results in undersized female gypsymoths, which tend to produce small egg clusters.19. It can be inferred from the passage that wilt disease virions depend for their survivalon(A) protein synthesized from the tissues of a host caterpillar(B) aspen leaves with high concentrations of phenols(C) tannin-rich oak leaves(D) nutrients that they synthesize from gypsy moth egg clusters(E) a rising threshold of caterpillar vulnerability to wilt disease20. Which of the following, if true, would most clearly demonstrate the operation of thetrees’ defensive mechanism as it is described in the first paragraph of the passage?(A) Caterpillars feeding on red oaks that were more than 50 percent defoliated grewto be only two-thirds the size of those feeding on trees with relatively intactfoliage.(B) Oak leaves in areas unaffected by gypsy moths were found to have higher levelsof tannin on average than aspen leaves in areas infested with gypsy moths.(C) The survival rate of gypsy moth caterpillars exposed to the wilt virus was 40percent higher for those that fed on aspen leaves than for those that ate oakleaves.(D) Female gypsy moths produced an average of 25 percent fewer eggs in areaswhere the wilt virus flourished than did moths in areas that were free of thevirus.(E) Gypsy moth egg clusters deposited on oak trees were found to have relativelylarge individual eggs compared to those deposited on aspen trees.21. Which of the following best describes the function of the third paragraph of thepassage?(A) It resolves a contradiction between the ideas presented in the first and secondparagraphs.(B) It introduces research data to support the theory outlined in the secondparagraph.(C) It draws a conclusion from conflicting evidence presented in the first twoparagraphs.(D) It shows how phenomena described in the first and second paragraphs act incombination.(E) It elaborates on the thesis introduced in the first paragraph after a digression inthe second paragraph.22. It can be inferred from the passage that gypsy moth caterpillars become immune tothe wilt virus as a result of(A) consuming a wide range of nutrients from a variety of leaf types(B) feeding on leaves that contain high levels of phenols(C) producing fewer offspring, which favors the survival of the hardiest individuals(D) ingesting the virus together with leaves that do not contain tannin(E) growing population density, which outstrips the ability of the virus to multiplyand spread23. Which of the following statements about gypsy moth caterpillars is supported byinformation presented in the passage?(A) Wilt disease is more likely to strike small gypsy moth caterpillars than largeones.(B) The concentration of phenols in tree leaves increases as the gypsy mothcaterpillar population dies off.(C) Female gypsy moth caterpillars stop growing after they ingest leaves containingphenols.(D) Differing concentrations of phenols in leaves have differing effects on the abilityof the wilt virus to kill gypsy moth caterpillars.(E) The longer a gypsy moth population is exposed to wilt disease, the greater thelikelihood that the gypsy moth caterpillars will become immune to the virus.The sweep of narrative in A. N. Wilson’s biography of C. S. Lewis is impressive and there is much that is acute and well argued. But much in this work is careless and unworthyof its author. Wilson, a novelist and an accomplished biographer, has failed to do what any writer on such a subject as Lewis ought to do, namely work out a coherent view of how the various literary works by the subject are to be described and commented on. Decisions have to be made on what to look at in detail and what to pass by with just a mention. Wilson has not thought this problem out. For instance, Till We Have Faces, Lewis’treatment of the Eros and Psyche story and one of his best-executed and most moving works, is merely mentioned by Wilson, though it illuminates Lewis’ spiritual development, whereas Lewis’ minor work Pilgrim’s Regress is looked at in considerable detail.24. The author of the passage implies that Wilson’s examination of Pilgrim’s Regress(A) is not as coherent as his treatment of Till We Have Faces(B) would have been more appropriate in a separate treatise because of the scope ofPilgrim’s Regress(C) demonstrates how Wilson’s narrow focus ignores the general themes of Lewis’works(D) was more extensive than warranted because of the relative unimportance ofPilgrim’s Regress(E) was disproportionately long relative to the amount of effort Lewis devoted towriting Pilgrim’s Regress25. The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the followingstatements regarding Till We Have Faces?(A) It is an improvement over the Eros and Psyche story on which it is based.(B) It illustrated Lewis’ attempt to involve his readers emotionally in the story ofEros and Psyche.(C) It was more highly regarded by Wilson than by Lewis himself.(D) It is one of the outstanding literary achievements of Lewis’ career.(E) It is probably one of the most popular of Lewis’ works.26. Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?(A) An evaluation is made, and aspects of the evaluation are expanded on withsupporting evidence.(B) A theory is proposed, and supporting examples are provided.(C) A position is examined, analyzed, and rejected.(D) A contradiction is described, then the points of contention are evaluated andreconciled.(E) Opposing views are presented and evaluated, then modifications are advocated.27. Which of the following best describes the content of the passage?(A) A critique of A. N. Wilson as a biographer(B) An evaluation of the significance of several works by C. S. Lewis(C) An appraisal of a biography by A. N. Wilson(D) A ranking of the elements necessary for a well-structured biography(E) A proposal for evaluating the literary merits of the works of C. S. Lewis1995年04月SECTION AInfluenced by the view of some twentieth-century feminists that women’s position within the family is one of the central factors determining women’s social position, some historians have underestimated the significance of the woman suffrage movement. These historians contend that nineteenth-century suffragist was less radical and, hence, less important than, for example, the moral reform movement or domestic feminism—two nineteenth-century movements in which women struggled for more power and autonomy within the family. True, by emphasizing these struggles, such historians have broadened the conventional view of nineteenth-century feminism, but they do a historical disservice to suffragism. Nineteenth-century feminists and anti-feminist alike perceived the suffragists’demand for enfranchisement as the most radical element in women’s protest, in part because suffragists were demanding power that was not based on the institution of the family, women’s traditional sphere. When evaluating nineteenth-century feminism as a social force, contemporary historians should consider the perceptions of actual participants in the historical events.17. The author asserts that the historians discussed in the passage have(A) influenced feminist theorists who concentrate on the family(B) honored the perceptions of the women who participated in the women suffragemovement(C) treated feminism as a social force rather than as an intellectual tradition(D) paid little attention to feminist movements(E) expanded the conventional view of nineteenth-century feminism18. The author of the passage asserts that some twentieth-century feminists haveinfluenced some historians view of the(A) significance of the woman suffrage movement(B) importance to society of the family as an institution(C) degree to which feminism changed nineteenth-century society(D) philosophical traditions on which contemporary feminism is based(E) public response to domestic feminism in the nineteenth century19. The author of the passage suggests that which of the following was true ofnineteenth-century feminists?(A) Those who participated in the moral reform movement were motivatedprimarily by a desire to reconcile their private lives with their public positions.(B) Those who advocated domestic feminism, although less visible than thesuffragists, were in some ways the more radical of the two groups.(C) Those who participated in the woman suffrage movement sought social roles forwomen that were not defined by women’s familial roles.(D) Those who advocated domestic feminism regarded the gaining of moreautonomy within the family as a step toward more participation in public life.(E) Those who participated in the nineteenth-century moral reform movement stoodmidway between the positions of domestic feminism and suffragism.20. The author implies that which of the following is true of the historians discussed inthe passage?(A) They argue that nineteenth-century feminism was not as significant a social forceas twentieth-century feminism has been.(B) They rely too greatly on the perceptions of the actual participants in the eventsthey study.(C) Their assessment of the relative success of nineteenth-century domestic feminismdoes not adequately take into account the effects of antifeminist rhetoric.(D) Their assessment of the significance of nineteenth-century suffragism differsconsiderably from that of nineteenth-century feminists.(E) They devote too much attention to nineteenth-century suffragism at the expenseof more radical movements that emerged shortly after the turn of the century.Many objects in daily use have clearly been influenced by science, but their form and function, their dimensions and appearance, were determined by technologists, artisans, designers, inventors, and engineers—using non-scientific modes of thought. Many features and qualities of the objects that a technologist thinks about cannot be reduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions; they are dealt with in the mind by a visual, nonverbal process. In the development of Western technology, it has been non-verbal thinking, by and large, that has fixed the outlines and filled in the details of our material surroundings. Pyramids, cathedrals, and rockets exist not because of geometry or thermodynamics, but because they were first a picture in the minds of those who built them.The creative shaping process of a technologist’s mind can be seen in nearly every artifact that exists. For example, in designing a diesel engine, a technologist might impress individual ways of nonverbal thinking on the machine by continually using an intuitive sense of rightness and fitness. What would be the shape of the combustion chamber? Where should the valves be placed? Should it have a long or short piston? Such questions have a range of answers that are supplied by experience, by physical requirements, by limitations of available space, and not least by a sense of form. Some decisions, such as wall thickness and pin diameter, may depend on scientific calculations, but the nonscientific component of design remains primary.Design courses, then, should be an essential element in engineering curricula. Nonverbal thinking, a central mechanism in engineering design, involves perceptions, the stock-in-trade of the artist, not the scientist. Because perceptive processes are not assumed to entail “hard thinking,” nonverbal thought is sometimes seen as a primitive stage in the development of cognitive processes and inferior to verbal or mathematical thought. But it is paradoxical that when the staff of the Historic American EngineeringRecord wished to have drawings made of machines and isometric views of industrial processes for its historical record of American engineering, the only college students with the requisite abilities were not engineering students, but rather students attending architectural schools.If courses in design, which in a strongly analytical engineering curriculum provide the background required for practical problem-solving, are not provided, we can expect to encounter silly but costly errors occurring in advanced engineering systems. For example, early models of high-speed railroad cars loaded with sophisticated controls were unable to operate in a snowstorm because a fan sucked snow into the electrical system. Absurd random failures that plague automatic control systems are not merely trivial aberrations; they are a reflection of the chaos that results when design is assumed to be primarily a problem in mathematics.21. In the passage, the author is primarily concerned with(A) identifying the kinds of thinking that are used by technologists(B) stressing the importance of nonverbal thinking in engineering design(C) proposing a new role for nonscientific thinking in the development of technology(D) contrasting the goals of engineers with those of technologists(E) criticizing engineering schools for emphasizing science in engineering curricula22. It can be inferred that the author thinks engineering curricula are(A) strengthened when they include courses in design(B) weakened by the substitution of physical science courses for courses designed todevelop mathematical skills(C) strong because nonverbal thinking is still emphasized by most of the courses(D) strong despite the errors that graduates of such curricula have made in thedevelopment of automatic control systems(E) strong despite the absence of nonscientific modes of thinking23. Which of the following statements best illustrates the main point of lines 1-28 of thepassage?(A) When a machine like a rotary engine malfunctions, it is the technologist who isbest equipped to repair it.(B) Each component of an automobile—for example, the engine or the fuel tank—hasa shape that has been scientifically determined to be best suited to thatcomponent’s function.(C) A telephone is a complex instrument designed by technologists using onlynonverbal thought.(D) The designer of a new refrigerator should consider the designs of otherrefrigerators before deciding on its final form.(E) The distinctive features of a suspension bridge reflect its designer’sconceptualization as well as the physical requirements of its site.。

the passages is followed by 4 questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are 4 choices marked A，B，C and D．Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center．Passage OneIn the United States the way people spend their leisure time is an important part of their identity．Perhaps everybody does nearly the same thing all day in the office or the factory，but leisure time is what makes people distinct and reveals who they are．Some people like rockmusic，for example，and others may like jazz or classical music．Some people are runners or swimmers，and others are“couch(睡椅)potatoes”who“surf”the television channels with a remote control．Some go to museums while others spend long hours at a shopping centre．These kinds of choices are ways that people define themselves．It hasn’t always been this way．“Leisure time”was almost unknown in the United States in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries．When most people worked on farms，the workday was from sunrise to sunset every day except Sunday，which was devoted to church．Later，with the rise of factories and city populations，people worked equally long hours and had only Sunday for rest．Some people did many of the things then that they do now—attend concerts，have parties，go to restaurants．read novels，or play sports—but to a much lesser extent.Slowly，throughout the twentieth century，leisure time grew．Technology made farm workless burdensome．and changes in laws shortened the factory work day and week．New inventions such as the phonograph(留声机)and the radio gave people access to music and mass entertainment on a scale unknown before．People gradually became consumers of entertainment，and businesses competed fiercely for their dollars．For many people leisure time means going somewhere—to a museum , to a concert , to a restaurant, or to a baseball game , for example. Or it means doing something such as playing volleyball，backpacking，swimming，biking，or playing in a park with their children．For other people free time means staying home with wonderful sources of entertainment，such as a VCR，stereo(立体声系统)，or cable TV with dozens of channels．Others pursue creative activities such as cooking，gardening，and home improvement．The latest stay-at-home activity is “surfing the net”—that is．looking for information and entertainment on the Internet．People in the United States are basically not much different from others in what they do in their leisure time．The real difference may lie in the energy，time，money，and sheer enthusiasm that they devote to it．21．“Couch potatoes”in paragraph 1 refers to those who ．A．control their viewing of TV programs B．are happy watching situation comedies C．watch TV while eating potato chips D．are crazy about watching TV programs 22．According to the passage，in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries，some Americans ．A．worked from sunrise to sunset seven days a weekB．preferred working in factories to working on farmsC．had many of the leisure time activities that people now haveD．fought for shorter working hours and more leisure time23．Apart from technology，the growing leisure time throughout the twentieth century is also due to．A．changes in laws B．mass entertainmentC．new types of consumption D．competitive businesses24．In terms of leisure time activities，people in the United States．A．enjoy a larger variety than people in other countriesB．are not much different from people in other countriesC．enjoy more stay—at—home activities such as“surfing the net’’D．are less energetic and enthusiastic than othersPassage TwoWhether you are logging on to your personal computer，using a credit card，or disarming a door security system，passwords orPINs(personal identification numbers)jealously guard access to numerous regular operations．It is estimated that within ten years，consumers could be faced with handling more than 100 passwords! Given the popularity of passwords，how Can you choose ones that are sufficiently complicated to be secure yet are simple enough to remember?There are basic guidelines to bear in mind．First，the don’ts．Don’t use as a password your name or that of a member of your family，even in modified form．Also avoid use of your telephone number，your Social Security number，or your address．Such information Can easily be obtained by a determined hacker(黑客)．In addition，if possible，don’t use passwords made up entirely of letters or digits．A relatively simple computer program can crack such a code quickly．Finally，do not use a word that can be found in any dictionary，even a foreign-language one．Huge lists areavailable that contain words，place names，and proper names from all languages．Programs can test for variations of these words，such as if they are spelled backward，capitalized，or combined．So，what kinds of passwords should be used? Usually ones that have a minimum of six to eight characters and that have a mixture of upper—and lower-case letters，digits，and punctuation(标点)symbols．How difficult is it to crack such a combination of characters? One source says that“a machine that could try one million passwords per second would require，on the average，over one hundred years．”How can you choose a combination that is easy to remember?Some suggest that you take the title of a favorite book or film or a line from a song or poem and use the first letter from each word as your password，adding capital letters，punctuation，or other characters．For example，“to be or not to be”could become“2B／not2B”．Other suggestions include taking twoshort words and link them with a punctuation character．such as“High。

gre试题类及答案
GRE试题类及答案1. Verbal Reasoning1.1 Text Completion•Question: The government’s repeated attempts to __________ the economy have proven unsuccessful so far.a)stabilizeb)stimulatec)stagnate•Answer: a) stabilize, b) stimulate1.2 Reading Comprehension•Passage: One of the most significant scientific discoveries in recent years is the finding that a particular type of bacteria can survive in extreme conditions, such as the deep ocean or hot springs.This discovery challenges the long-held belief that only certn types of life can flourish in such harsh environments.Scientists believe that studying these bacterial strns could unlock important insights into the potential for life on other planets, where conditions may be similarly extreme. However, further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms by which these bacteria are able to adapt and survive in these extreme environments.•Questions:1.What is the significance of the recent scientificdiscovery?2.What does the discovery challenge?3.How can the study of these bacterial strns bebeneficial?•Answers:1.The recent scientific discovery is significant because itreveals that a particular type of bacteria can survive inextreme conditions, contrary to long-held beliefs.2.The discovery challenges the long-held belief thatonly certn types of life can flourish in harsh environments.3.The study of these bacterial strns can be beneficial asit may provide important insights into the potential for life onother planets where conditions may be similarly extreme. 2.

Analytical Writing3.1 Issue Task•Prompt: Technology has made it easier for people to connect on a global scale. However, it has also led to a decrease in face-to-face interactions. Do you think this is a positive or negative development? Expln your reasoning.•Answer: In my opinion, the decrease in face-to-face interactions due to the rise of technology is a negative development. While technology has undeniably made it easier for people toconnect globally, it has also created a barrier to meaningful and authentic human interactions. Face-to-face interactions are essential for building strong relationships, fostering empathy, and mntning a sense of community.When people communicate solely through technology, they miss out on the nuances and non-verbal cues that are vital for effective communication. A text message or eml lacks the emotional depth that can be conveyed through facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice. This can lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations, causing unnecessary conflicts or damage to relationships.Furthermore, face-to-face interactions provide an opportunity for genuine connection and bonding. When we meet someone in person, we can establish a deeper level of trust and understanding. We can also show empathy and offer support in amore meaningful way. In contrast, digital interactions often feel impersonal and lack the warmth and sincerity that come with direct human contact.Finally, face-to-face interactions are crucial for building and mntning a sense of community. When people gather in person, whether it be for a social event, a meeting, or a protest, they create a shared experience that fosters a sense of belonging. The energy and collective spirit present in physical gatherings cannot be replicated through virtual means.In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly made global connections more accessible, it has come at the cost of decreasing face-to-face interactions. I believe this is a negative development as it hinders authentic communication, meaningful connections, and the development of community. It is important for individuals and society as a whole to recognize the value of face-to-face interactions and make a conscious effort to prioritize them in an increasingly digital world.3.2 Argument Task•Prompt: The following is a recommendation made by a consulting firm to improve employee productivity in a manufacturing company:。

转折前对于titles的评价由第一空决定，转折后titles（they）的评价由unusual combinations决定（这取决于第二空的动词是正评价还是负评价），如果第二空是正评价词，表明titles与unusual combinations一致，那么转折前就应该相反，所以第一空填unusual combinations的反义表达；如果第二空是负评价词，表明titles与unusual combinations相反，所以第一空填unusual combinations的同义表达。
第一空只有CE是清楚的unusual combinations反义表达，候选。
第二空选项单词正负评价正好相反（这是ETS惯用思路，2空题先变成2选1，再取舍就容易多了），根据前面分析只能选正评价的词汇，所以答案是E。
