Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided.Questions 1-4 are based on the following passages.Passage 1The intellectual construct known as containment arose from the ashes of World War II as a means by which the West could prevent war with the Soviet Union. A 1947 issue of the obscure but influential journal5 Foreign Affairs outlined a policy of international relations based upon aparticularistic world view. According to such a world view, nations are inherently self-serving and any force issued by one country against another must be met with equal counterforce. Originally, containment10 aimed to utilize American power to oppose the Soviet Union anywhere the latternation attempted to establish a communist regime.Passage 2America's involvement in Vietnam during the 1960's offers support for opponents of the policy of containment.15 Prevalent among American politicians at the time was the assumption that allnations must be aligned with either the United States or the Soviet Union, and that there could be no communist nation that was not also a pawn of the Soviets.By viewing the world in such black-and-white20 terms, America fatally misunderstood the real cause of Vietnam's instability.While America perceived the war as another example of aggressive Soviet expansion, Vietnamese communists saw their role as eliminating theimperialistic influences of all foreign nations.1. Which of the following best illustrates a "particularistic world view" as described in Passage 1, line 6?(A) A country that seeks to institute a national welfare system to provide health andeducation to all its citizens(B) A group of nations that tries to stop aggression around the world(C) A nation that seeks to seize territory in a neighboring nation to obtain naturalresources it currently lacks(D) A state that intends to promote democracy around the world by showing thesuccesses it has achieved through such a government(E) A dictator who seeks to quell political opposition within his own government2. Which of the following best describes the relationship between Passage 1 andPassage 2?(A) Passage 2 offers a criticism of the political theory outlined in Passage I.(B) Passage I expands upon an argument made in Passage 2.(C) Passage I refutes the conclusion drawn in Passage 2.(D) Passage 2 offers a balanced counterpoint to the biased opinions expressed inPassage 1.(E) Passage1offersevidenceto support the main idea of Passage 2.3. The opponents mentioned in Passage 2 (line 14) would be most likely to respond tothe last sentence of Passage 1 ("Originally.. .regime.") by(A) agreeing that communism posed a threat to the stability of Vietnam's government(B) pointing out the costliness of interfering in the affairs of foreign countries(C) implying that using force against another nation is never justified(D) demonstrating the influence the Soviet Union had in unstable countries inSoutheast Asia(E) contending that one country may adopt another's style of government withoutbecoming its ally4. In the last sentence of Passage 2 ("While...nations."), the author implies that(A) the Soviet Union coerced the Vietnamese to set up a communist government(B) the Vietnamese asked for America's help to defend itself against the Soviet Union(C) the Vietnamese may have viewed America's involvement as an aggressive act(D) America surreptitiously sought to establish colonies in Vietnam(E) Americans could not understand how their actions were being viewed by theVietnameseQuestions5-16 are based on the following passages.The following passages consider two viewpoints of Oliver Cromwell. Born in 1599, Cromwell was a leading figure in the English Civil Wars of the seventeenth century, eventually authorizing the execution of King Charles J and becoming Lord Protector of all England.Passage 1In the wake of the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Counter-Reformation, all of Europe was in turmoil. Rulers often altered the laws of their countries to suit personal preferences, outlawing first one religious5 practice then another. Such uncertainty inevitably gave riseto conflict as people fought to retain the right to practice their own beliefs in safety. Further exacerbating the situation in England was the matter of the neighboring lands of Ireland and Scotland. After generations of strife,10 the English monarchy had married into the Scottish monarchy and had annexedIreland, resulting in one monarch ruling all three countries, though in reality each country had its own legal system and local rulers. This balance of power wastenuous at best and there was15 frequent talk of insurrection in each country, especially as taxes to supportforeign wars mounted ever higher. In the midst of this conflict, civil war erupted.The common people were torn between warring factions and weighed down by heavy taxes until finally, frustrated with20 the situation, they rose up.This was the setting in which Oliver Cromwell first rose to prominence. Born into the English middle class, somewhere above a yeoman* yet below an aristocrat. Cromwell was reasonably well educated and25 entered politics as a local representative in the House of Commons. He served inthe British Parliament for several terms, but at heart he wasmore a man of action than a man of words; it was only when the King's royal standard was flapping in the wind that Cromwell's30 ascension to power began in earnest. Although he used his respectable birth anddescent to portray himself as a gentleman, Cromwell had a reputation for being a violent man, and history relates many stories of his suddentemper and rough, even vulgar, language. In almost any other35 atmosphere, it is likely that a man of such uncertain temperament would havetoiled in obscurity, but in those bloody years he was able to put his less savory tendencies, along with his own iron will, to good use and take advantage of any opportunities that arose.40 The British Civil Wars were long and ugly. They ended only after theestablishment first, of the English Commonwealth, under the leadership of theParliament; then, of the Protectorate, under the rule of Cromwell; and finally, the restoration of the monarchy. Although it is45 claimed by some historians that Cromwell was popularly acclaimed and that thepeople of England went so far as to offer him the crown, contemporary accounts paint a different picture. There are descriptions of Cromwell's soldiers storming the Parliament and forcibly installing50 Cromwell as head of Parliament, which he promptly disbanded. With Parliamentdissolved, Cromwell's path to power was clear, and once he had been namedProtector, it was nearly impossible to oust him. One of the primary reasons for this was the devoted army that attended him,55 something that King Charles I had sorely lacked. As for his refusal of the crown, thereality was that he was king in all but name, and one can only speculate that it was some kind of superstition that prevented him from officially assuming the title.60 The most convincing proof that Cromwell's reign was not as popular as somehistorians would make it out to be is the rapidity with which the English people welcomed back the royal family after his death. Within two years of Cromwell's death. Charles II was installed on the throne that had been held by his father, and the remnants of the65 Cromwell family were forced into hiding to escape persecution. So it was that theEnglish Civil Wars ended once and for al1, and the memory of a passionate and ambitious man faded into ignominy for many long years.*yeoman is an archaic word for a landowning farmer.Passage 270 Oliver Cromwell, a man as often vilified as extol1ed, played a central role in Britishpolitics of the seventeenth century before, during, and after the British Civil Wars.Born a gentleman, Cromwell became involved in politics at an early age. Heserved in various capacities in his75 local government before going on to serve several terms in Parliament. Hiswritings from that period show that although he was not yet certain that war was the answer, he did agitate for a variety of government reforms and increasedrights for the common citizen. Once it80 became clear that war was inevitable, however, Cromwell willingly put aside thepen and took up the sword in defense of what he believed. During the long and bloody years of fighting, Cromwell distinguished himself as a valiant soldier85 and staunch supporter of the people's rights. One of the main issues at stakeduring the wars was the right to religious freedom. Although Cromwell did not support full religious tolerance, he did support the idea that there was more than one way to be deyout. It was his approval90 of the Puritan and Presbyterian faiths that garnered him the support of manysoldiers who were, in turn, largely responsible for his investiture as Lord Protector,a post created solely for him. Of the many actions for which Cromwell is95 remembered, his execution of King Charles I is surely the foremost. For the firsttime in recorded history, the people of England openly rebelled against a King,tried him in a court of citizens, and duly executed him for treason. It is certainly possible that, without a man as forceful as100 Cromwell to lead the way, the people of England would have hesitated at the final step. This one act, carried out by Cromwell, forever changed the ways inwhich the people viewed the monarchy and vice versa. Up until the moment that the axe fell, many did105 not really believe that anyone would or could execute a king. There were strong feelings about the divine rights of kings and if the execution of Charles I did not destroy those ideas, it certainly gave people pause. Every monarch since theRestoration has known that, if pushed110 far enough, the people will go to war against their ruler and, if deemed necessary, forcibly remove that ruler from power. This, in turn, has guaranteed a greaterdegree of respect for the wishes of the people on the part of the monarchy, and if history gives an accurate picture of115 Cromwell's personality, it seems likely that he would approve of this turn of affairs.5.Passage I portrays Cromwell's character as that of(A) a highly ambitious man(B) a sensitive leader(C) a beloved father figure(D) a scholarly gentleman(E) an aloof aristocrat6. The function of the first paragraph of Passage I is to(A) applaud the monarchy's foreign policies(B) criticize the British monarchy(C) give an overview of British history(D) describe the setting for Cromwell's rise to power(E) detail Cromwell's role in the civil war7.

No errorD EⅢPassage-based reading （每题3分，共45分）The passages below are followed by questions based on their content; questions following a pair of related passages may also be based on the relationship between the paired passages. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided.Question 1-4 are based on the following passages.Passage 1The eighteenth-century botanist Carolus Linnaeus’enormous and essential contribution to natural history was to devise a system of classification whereby any plant or animal could identified and slotted into an overall plan. Yet Linnaeus himself would probably be the first to admit that classification is only a tool, and not the ultimate purpose, of biological inquiry. Unfortunately, this truth was not apparent to his immediate successors, who for the nest hundred years were to concern themselves almost exclusively with classification.Passage 2I am a heretic about Linnaeus. I do not dispute the value of the tool he gave natural science, but I am wary about the change it has effected on human relationship to the world. From Linnaeus on, much of science has been devoted to sorting masses into individual entities and arranging the entities neatly. The cost of having so successfully itemized and pigeonholed nature is to limit certain possibilities of seeing and apprehending. For example, the modern man thinks that he or she can best understand a tree (or a species of tree) by examining a single tree. But trees are not intended to grow in isolation. They are social creatures, and their society in turn supports other species of plants, insects, birds, mammals, and micro-organisms, all of which make up the whole experience of the woods.pared to the author of Passage 2, the author of Passage 1 regards Linnaeuswith more(A)cynicism(B)bafflement(C)appreciation(D)nostalgia(E)resentment2.Unlike the author of Passage 1, the author of Passage 2 make use of(A) scientific data(B) literary allusion(C) historical research(D) personal voice(E) direct citation3.Both passages emphasize which of the following aspects of Linnaeus’ work?(A)The extent to which it contributed to natural science(B)The way in which it limits present-day science(C)The degree to which it revived interest in biology.(D)The decisiveness with which it settled scientific disputes(E)The kinds of scientific discoveries on which it built.4.The author of Passage 1 would most likely respond to the opening of Passage 2(Line 12-17) by arguing that the author of Passage 2 has(A)demonstrated that Linnaeus should be better known as a scientist that hecurrently is(B)minimized the achievements of those scientists who built on Linnaeus’ work(C)refused to appreciate the importance of proper classification to scientificprogress(D)failed to distinguish the ideas of Linnaeus from those of his followers(E)misunderstood Linnaeus’ primary contribution to natural historyQuestion 5-10 are based on the following passage.The following is an excerpt from a translation of a novel written in Spanish by an author from Colombia. In a fanciful manner, the novelist portrays the townspeople of an isolated village.Dazzled by so many and such marvelous inventions, the people of Macondo did not know where their amazement began, They stayed up all night looking at the electric bulbs fed by the electric plant that Aureliano Triste had brought back when the train made its second trip, and it took time and effort for them to grow accustomed to its obsessive noise.They became indignant over the living images that the prosperous merchant Bruno Crespi projected on the screen in the theatre with the lion-head ticket windows, for the character who had died and was buried in one film, and for whose misfortune tears of affliction had been shed, would reappear alive and transformed into an Arab sheik in the next one. The audience, who paid tow cents apiece to share the difficulties of the actors, would not tolerate such an outlandish fraud and they broke up the seats. The major, at the urging of Bruno Crespi, explained in a proclamation that the cinema was a machine of illusions that did not merit the emotional outbursts of the audience. With that discouraging explanation many felt that they had been the victims of some new trickery and they decided not to return to the movies, considering that they already had too many troubles of their own to weep over the acted-out misfortunes of imaginary beings.Something similar happened with cylinder phonographs brought from France and intended as a substitute for the antiquated hand organs used by the band of musicians. For a time the phonograph records had serious effects on the livelihood of the musicians. At first curiosity increased the business on the street where they were sold and there was even word of respectable persons who disguised themselves as workers in order to observe the novelty of the phonograph at firsthand, but from so much and such close observation they soon reached the conclusion that it was not an enchanted mill as everyone had thought and as some had said, but a mechanical trick that could not be compared with something so moving, so human, and so full of everyday truth as a band of musicians, It was such a serious disappointment that when phonograph became so popular that there was one in every house they were not considered objects for amusement for adults but as something good for children to take part.On the other hand, when someone from the town had the opportunity to test the crude reality of the telephone installed in the railroad station, which was thought to be rudimentary version of the phonograph because of its crank, even the most incredulous were upset. It was as if God had decided to put to the test every capacity for surprise and was keeping the inhabitants of Macondo in a permanent alteration between excitement and disappointment, doubt and revelation, to such an extreme that no one knew for certain where the limits of reality lay.5.The word “obsessive” (line 5) most nearly means(A)enthusiastic(B)persistent(C)obvious(D)infatuated(E)hardworking6.The “fraud” (Line 11) that upset the citizens of Macondo was related to the(A)excessive charge for admission(B)outlandish adventures of the characters on the screen(C)fact that the events depicted on the screen did not actually occur(D)types of difficulties the actors faced(E)implausible plots of the stories that were told7.The citizens lost interest in their phonographs because(A)the machines lack the heart and soul of true musicians(B)few people were able to operate them(C)the machines were too difficult to observe firsthand(D)many musicians lost their job because of them(E)the children were breaking them faster than they were made8.The citizens of Macondo were distressed by the arrival of telephone because they(A)did not know where it come from(B)had expected a more socially beneficial invention(C)could envision the change it would bring to daily village life(D)no longer felt able to make the usual assumptions about their world(E)were fearful that it would have serious affects on their continued employment9.The aspects of the new inventions that most disappointed the citizens was thatthese inventions(A)were not all fashioned with crank(B)did not have any real educational value(C)were not at all what they seemed to be(D)were meant purely for entertainment(E)were so intricate they ere difficult to operate10.The major purpose of the passage is to(A)illustrate the influence the distinguished residents of Macondo had on theother citizens(B)describe the new scientific inventions that were introduced to Macondo(C)depict a diverse crowd reacting in unison to a magical performance(D)describe the people’s responses to the influx of technical advances(E)delineate old-fashioned ideas about the virtue of nature over technologyQuestions 11-15 are based on the following passage.This passage is from the preface to a 1997 book by a United States journalist detailing a disagreement between doctors and family members about a child’s medical treatment at a hospital in California.Under my desk I keep a large carton of cassette tapes. Though they have all been transcribed, I still like to listen to them from time to time.Some are quiet and easily understood. They are filled with the voices of American doctors, interrupted occasionally by the clink of a coffee cup or beep of a pager. The rest—more than half of them—are very noisy. They are filled with the voices of the Lees family, Hmong refugees from Laos who came to the United States in 1980. Against a background of babies crying, children playing, doors slamming, dishes clattering, a television yammering, and an air conditioner wheezing, I can hear the mother’s voice, by turns breathy, nasal, gargly, or humlike as it slides up and down the Hmong language’s eight tones; the father’s voice, louder, slower, more vehement; and my interpreter’s voice, mediating in Hmong and English, low and deferential in each. The hubbub summons sense-memories: the coolness of the red metal folding chair, reserved for guests, that was always set up when I arrived in the apartment; the shadows cast by the amulet that hung from the ceiling and swung inthe breeze on its length of grocer’s twine; the tastes of Hmong food.I sat on the Lees’ red chair for the first time on May 19, 1988. Earlier that spring I had come to Merced, California, because I had heard that there were some misunderstandings at the county hospital between its Hmong patients and medical staff. One doctor called them“collisions,”which made it sound as if two different kinds of people had rammed into each other, head on, to the accompaniment of squealing brakes and breaking glass. As it turned out, the encounters were messy but rarely frontal. Both sides were wounded, but neither side seemed to know what had hit it or how to avoid another crash.I have always felt that the action most worth watching occurs not at the center of things but where edges meet. I like shorelines, weather fronts, international borders. These places have interesting frictions and incongruities, and often, if you stand at the point of tangency, you can see both sides better than if you were in the middle of either one. This is especially true when the apposition is cultural. When I first came to Merced, I hoped that the culture of American medicine, about which I knew a little, and the culture of the Hmong, about which I knew nothing, would somehow illuminate each other if I could position myself between the two and manage not to get caught in the crossfire. But after getting to know the Lees family and their daughter’s doctors and realizing how hard it was to blame anyone, I stopped analyzing the situation in such linear terms. Now, when I play the tapes late at night, I imagine what they would sound like if I could splice them together, so the voices of the Hmong and those of the American doctors could be heard on a single tape, speaking a common language.11. In line 12, “summons”most nearly means(A) sends for(B) calls forth(C) requests(D) orders(E) convenes12. It can be inferred from lines the last five lines in the third paragraph that“collisions”was NOT an apt description because the(A) clash between Hmong patients and medical staff was indirect and baffling(B) Hmong patients and the medical staff were not significantly affected by theencounters(C) medical staff was not responsible for the dissatisfaction of the Hmong patients(D) misunderstandings between the Hmong patients and the medical staff were easyto resolve(E) disagreement reached beyond particular individuals to the community at large13. Which of the following views of conflict is best supported by lines 26-28(“These . . . one”) in the last paragraph?(A) Efforts to prevent conflicts are not always successful.(B) Conflict can occur in many different guises.(C) In most conflicts, both parties are to blame.(D) You can understand two parties that have resolved their conflicts better than twoparties that are currently in conflict.(E) You can learn more about two parties in conflict as an observer than as aninvolved participant.14. According to lines 28-32 (“When I . . . crossfire”), the author’s initial goal was to(A) consider the perspectives of both the American doctors and the Lees family to seewhat insights might develop(B) serve as a counselor to the county hospital’s Hmong patients in order to ease theiranxieties(C) work out a compromise between the Americandoctors and the Lees family(D) acquire a greater knowledge of how the Americanmedical culture serves patients(E) try to reduce the misunderstandings between the American doctors and the Leesfamily and promote good will15. At the end of the passage, the author suggests that it would be ideal if the(A) differences between the Lees family and the American doctors could be resolvedquickly(B) concerns and opinions of the Lees family and the American doctors could bemerged(C) American doctors could take the time to learn more about their Hmong patients(D) Hmong patients could become more vocal indefense of their rights(E) Hmong patients could get medical treatment consistent with their cultural beliefs。

Even more ominous for workers, they foresee dismal prospects for many types of jobs as these powerful new technologies are increasingly adopted not only in manufacturing, clerical, and retail work but in professions such as law, fi nancial services, education, and medicine. Th at robots, automation, and so ft ware can replace people might seem obvious to anyone who’s worked in automotive manufacturing or as a travel agent. But Brynjolfsson and McAfee’s claim is more troubling and controversial. Th ey believe that rapid technologicalchange has been destroying jobs faster than it is creating them, contributing to the stagnation of median income and the growth of inequality in the United States. And, they suspect, something similar is happening in other technologically advanced countries.As evidence, Brynjolfsson and McAfee point to a chart that only an economist could love. In economics, productivity—the amount of economic value created for a given unit of input, such as an hour of labor—is a crucial indicator of growth and wealth creation. It is a measure of progress. On the chart Brynjolfsson likes to show, separate lines represent productivity and total employment in the United States. For years a ft er World War II, the two lines closely tracked each other, with increases in jobs corresponding to increases inproductivity. Th e pattern is clear: as businesses generated more value from their workers, the country as a whole became richer, which fueled more economic activity and created even more jobs. Th en, beginning in 2000, the lines diverge; productivity continues to rise robustly, but employment suddenly wilts. By 2011, a signi fi cant gap appears between the two lines, showing economic growth with no parallel increase in job creation. Brynjolfsson and McAfee call it the “great decoupling.” And BrynjolfssonLine 510152025303540455055606570758085says he is con fi dent that technology is behind both thehealthy growth in productivity and the weak growth in jobs.It’s a startling assertion because it threatens the faith that many economists place in technological progress. Brynjolfsson and McAfee still believe that technology boosts productivity and makes societies wealthier, but they think that it can also have a dark side: technological progress is eliminating the need for many types of jobs and leaving the typical worker worse o ff than before. Brynjolfsson can point to a second chart indicating that median income is failing to rise even as the gross domestic product soars. “It’s the great paradox of our era,” he says. “Productivity is at record levels, innovation has never been faster, and yet at the same time, we have a falling median income and we have fewer jobs. People are falling behind because technology is advancing so fast and our skills and organizations aren’t keeping up.” While such technological changes can be painful for workers whose skills no longer match the needs of employers, Lawrence Katz, a Harvard economist, says that no historical pattern shows these shi ft s leading to a net decrease in jobs over an extended period. Katz has done extensive research on how technological advances have a ff ected jobs over the last few centuries—describing, for example, how highly skilled artisans in the mid-19th century were displaced by lower-skilled workers in factories. While it can take decades for workers to acquire the expertise needed for new types of employment, he says, “we never have run out of jobs. Th ere is no long-term trend of eliminating work for people. Over the long term, employment rates are fairly stable. People have always been able to create new jobs. People come up with new things to do.”Still, Katz doesn’t dismiss the notion that there is something di ff erent about today’s digital technologies—something that could a ff ect an even broader range of work. Th e question, he says, is whether economic history will serve as a useful guide. Will the job disruptions caused by technology be temporary as the workforce adapts, or will we see a science-fi ction scenario in which automated processes and robots with superhuman skills take over a broad swath of human tasks? Th ough Katz expects the historical pattern to hold, it is “genuinely a question,” he says. “If technology disrupts enough, who knows what will happen?”Figure 1United Sates Productivity and Employment500400300200100Figure 2Output per Employed Person in Manufacturing as Factories Have Become More Automated196019701980199020002011P e r c e n t a g e o f 1947 l e v e l sO u t p u t p e r w o r k e r (2002 v a l u e s =100)I, xiaobanshou, drew this!

A new study of ibises fi nds that these big-winged birds carefully position their wingtips and sync their fl apping, presumably to catch the preceding bird’s updra ft —and save energy during fl ight.Th ere are two reasons birds might fl y in a V formation: It may make fl ight easier, or they’re simply following the leader. Squadrons of planes can save fuel by fl ying in a V formation, and many scientists suspect that migrating birds do the same. Models that treated fl apping birds like fi xed-wing airplanes estimate that they save energy by dra ft ing o ff each other, but currents created by airplanes are far more stable than the oscillating eddies coming o ff of a bird. “Air gets pretty darn wiggy behind a fl apping wing,” says James Usherwood, a locomotor biomechanist at the Royal Veterinary College at the University of London in Hat fi eld, where the research took place. Th e study, published in Nature, took advantage of an existing project to reintroduce endangered northern bald ibises (Geronticus eremita) to Europe. Scientists used a microlight plane to show hand-raised birds their ancestral migration route from Austria to Italy. A fl ock of 14 juveniles carried data loggers specially built by Usherwood and his lab. Th e device’s GPS determined each bird’s fl ight position to within 30 cm, and an accelerometer showed the timing of the wing fl aps.Just as aerodynamic estimates would predict, the birds positioned themselves to fl y just behind and to the side of the bird in front, timing their wing beats to catch the upli ft ing eddies. When a bird fl ew directly behind another, the timing of the fl apping reversed so that it could minimize the e ff ects of the downdra ft coming o ff the back of the bird’s body. “We didn’t think this was possible,” Usherwood says, considering that the feat requires careful fl ight and incredible awareness of one’s neighbors. “Perhaps these big V formation birds can be thought of quite like an airplane with wings that go up and down.”Line 5101520253035Th e fi ndings likely apply to other long-winged birds,such as pelicans, storks, and geese, Usherwood says. Smaller birds create more complex wakes that would make dra ft ing too di ffi cult. Th e researchers did not attempt to calculate the bird’s energy savings because the necessary physiological measurements would be too invasive for an endangered species. Previous studies estimate that birds can use 20% to 30% less energy while fl ying in a V .“From a behavioral perspective it’s really a breakthrough,” says David Lentink, a mechanicalengineer at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, who was not involved in the work. “Showing that birds care about syncing their wing beats is de fi nitely an important insight that we didn’t have before.” To de fi nitively say that the birds are dra ft ing o ff each other, however, the exact location of the eddies and the areas of downdra ft would need to be measured on ibises, which would require fl ying them in a wind tunnel—a far more intrusive process than simply carrying a data logger. Scientists do not know how the birds fi nd that aerodynamic sweet spot, but they suspect that theanimals align themselves either by sight or by sensing air currents through their feathers. Alternatively, they may move around until they fi nd the location with the least resistance. In future studies, the researchers will switch to more common birds, such as pigeons or geese. Th ey plan to investigate how the animals decide who sets the course and the pace, and whether a mistake made by the leader can ripple through the rest of the fl ock to cause tra ffi c jams.“It’s a pretty impressive piece of work as it is, but it does suggest that there’s a lot more to learn,” says Ty Hedrick, a biologist at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, who studies fl ight aerodynamics in birds and insects. However they do it, he says, “birds are awfully good hang-glider pilots.”40455055606570751125Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?A) lines 3-6 (“A ... fl ight”)B) lines 9-11 (“Squadrons ... same”)C) lines 19-21 (“Th e ...

Originally published in 1840. Passage 2 is adapted from Harriet Taylor Mill,“Enfranchisement of Women.” Originally published in 1851. As United States and European societies grew increasingly democratic during the nineteenth century, debates arose about whether freedoms enjoyed by men should be extended to women as well.Passage1I Have shown how democracy destroys or modi fi es the di ff erent inequalities which originate in society; but is this all? or does it not ultimately a ff ect that great inequality of man and woman which has seemed, up to the present day, to be eternally based in human nature? I believe that the social changes which bring nearer to the same level the father and son, the master and servant, and superiors and inferiors generally speaking, will raise woman and make her more and more the equal of man. But here, more than ever, I feel the necessity of making myself clearly understood; for there is no subject on which the coarse and lawless fancies of our age have taken a freer range.Th ere are people in Europe who, confounding together the di ff erent characteristics of the sexes, would make of man and woman beings not only equal but alike. Th ey would give to both the same functions, impose on both the same duties, and grant to both the same rights; they would mix them in all things — their occupations, their pleasures, their business. It may readily be conceived, that by thus attempting to make one sex equal to the other, both are degraded; and from so preposterous a medley of the works of nature nothing could ever result but weak men and disorderly women. It is not thus that the Americans understand that species of democratic equality which may be established between the sexes. Th ey admit, that as nature has appointed such wide di ff erences between the physical and moral constitution of man and woman, her manifest design was to give a distinct employment to their various faculties; and they hold that improvement does not consist in making beings so dissimilar do pretty nearly the same things, but in getting each of them to ful fi l their respective tasks in the best possible manner. Th e Americans have applied toLine 51015202530the sexes the great principle of political economy whichgoverns the manufactures of our age, by carefully dividing the duties of man from those of woman, in order that the great work of society may be the better carried on.Passage2As society was constituted until the last fewgenerations, inequality was its very basis; association grounded on equal rights scarcely existed; to be equals was to be enemies; two persons could hardly cooperate in anything, or meet in any amicable relation, without the law's appointing that one of them should be the superior of the other. Mankind have outgrown this state, and all things now tend to substitute, as the general principle of human relations, a just equality, instead of the dominion of the strongest. But of all relations, that between men and women being the nearest and most intimate, and connected with the greatest number of strong emotions, was sure to be the last to throw o ff the old rule and receive the new; for in proportion to the strength of a feeling, is the tenacity with which it clings to the forms and circumstances with which it has even accidentally become associated.… Th e proper sphere for all human beings is the largest and highest which they are able to attain to. What this is, cannot be ascertained, without complete liberty of choice… Let every occupation be open to all, without favour or discouragement to any, and employments will fall into the hands of those men or women who are found by experience to be most capable of worthily exercising them. Th ere need be no fear that women will take out of the hands of men any occupation which men perform better than they. Each individual will prove his or her capacities, in the only way in which capacities can be proved--by trial; and the world will have the bene fi t of the best faculties of all its inhabitants. But to interfere beforehand by an arbitrary limit, and declare thatwhatever be the genius, talent, energy, or force of mind of an individual of a certain sex or class, those faculties shall no be exerted, or shall be exerted only in some few of the many modes in which others are permitted to use theirs, is not only an injustice to the individual, and a detriment to society, which loses what it can ill spare, but is also the most e ff ectual mode of providing that, in the sex or class so fettered, the qualities which are not permitted to be exercised shall not exist.354045505560657075SAT 小帮手原创题目，版权所有，请勿盗用或者去掉我们的水印！去掉我们的水印这样很不尊重人你知道吗！33In Passage 1, Tocqueville implies that treatment of men and women as identical in nature would have which consequence?A) Neither sex would feel oppressed.B) Both sexes would be greatly harmed.C) Men would try to reclaim their lost authority.D) Men and women would have privileges they donot need.3435Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?A) lines 14-16 (“There ... alike”)B) lines 16-18 (“They ... rights”)C) lines 20-22 (“It ... degraded”)D) lines 24-26 (“It ... sexes”)As used in line 47, “dominion” most nearly means A) omnipotence B) supremacy C) ownership D) territoryIn Passage 2, Mill most strongly suggest that gender roles are resistant to changes because they A) have long served as the basis for the formedorganization of society.B) are matters of deeply entrenched traditions.C) can be influenced by legislative redresses onlyindirectly.D) benefit the groups and institutions currently inpower3637Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?A) lines 39-40 (“As ... basis”)B) lines 42-45 (“two ... other”)C) lines 52-55 (“in ... associated”)D) lines 60-63 (“employments ... them”)32As used in line 8, “raise” most nearly means A) increase.B) cultivate.C) nurture.D) elevate.1139Tocqueville in Passage 1 would most likelycharacterize the position taken by Mill in lines 59-63 in Passage 2 (“Let … them”) asA) less radical about gender roles than it mightinitially seem.B) persuasive in the abstract but di ffi cult toimplement in practice.C) ill-advised but consistent with a view held bysome other advocates of gender equality.D) compatible with economic progress in the UnitedStates but not in Europe.Both authors would most likely agree that thechanges in gender roles that they describe would be A) part of a broad social shift toward greaterequality.B) unlikely to provide benefits that outweigh theircosts.C) inevitable given the economic advantages ofgender equality.D) at odds with the principles of Americandemocracy.38Which choice best describes the ways that the two authors conceived of the individual’s proper position in society?A) Tocqueville believes that an individual’s positionshould be defined in important ways by that individual’s sex, while Mill believes that an individual’s abilities should be the determining factor.B) Tocqueville believes that an individual’seconomic class should determine thatindividual’s position, while Mill believes that class is not a legitimate consideration.C) Tocqueville believes that an individual’stemperament should determine that individual’s position, while Mill believes that temperament should not be a factor in an individual’s position.D) Tocqueville believes that an individual’s positionshould be determined by what is most beneficial to society, while Mill believes it should be determined by what an individual finds most rewarding.41Based on Passage 2, Mill would most likely say that the application of the “great principle of political economy” (lines 35, Passage 1) to gender has which effect?A) It prevents many men and women fromdeveloping to their full potential.B) It makes it difficult for men and women tosympathize with each other.C) It unintentionally furthers the cause of genderequality.D) It guarantees that women taken occupations thatmen are better suited to perform.40SAT 小帮手原创题目，版权所有，请勿盗用或者去掉我们的水印！去掉我们的水印这样很不尊重人你知道吗！Questions 43-52 are based on the following passages.This passage is adapted from Brain Greene, “How the Higgs Boson Was Found” ©by Smithsonian magazine. The Higgs boson is an elementary particle associated with the Higgs fi eld – Experiments conducted in 2012-2013 tentatively con fi rmed the existence of the Higgs Boson and thus of the Higgs fi eld.Nearly a half-century ago, Peter Higgs and a handful of other physicists were trying to understand the origin of a basic physical feature: mass. Y ou can think ofmass as an object’s he ft or, a little more precisely, as the resistance it o ff ers to having its motion changed. Push on a freight train (or a feather) to increase its speed, and the resistance you feel re fl ects its mass. At a microscopic level, the freight train’s mass comes from its constituent molecules and atoms, which are themselves built from fundamental particles, electrons and quarks. But where do the masses of these and other fundamental particles come from?When physicists in the 1960s modeled the behavior of these particles using equations rooted in quantum physics, they encountered a puzzle. If they imagined that the particles were all massless, then each term in the equations clicked into a perfectly symmetric pattern, like the tips of a perfect snow fl ake. And this symmetry was not just mathematically elegant. It explained patterns evident in the experimental data. But—and here’s the puzzle—physicists knew that the particles did have mass, and when they modi fi ed the equations to account for this fact, the mathematical harmony was spoiled. Th e equations became complex and unwieldy and, worse still, inconsistent.What to do? Here’s the idea put forward by Higgs. Don’t shove the particles’ masses down the throat of the beautiful equations. Instead, keep the equations pristine and symmetric, but consider them operating within a peculiar environment. Imagine that all of space isuniformly fi lled with an invisible substance—now called the Higgs fi eld—that exerts a drag force on particles when they accelerate through it. Push on a fundamental particle in an e ff ort to increase its speed and, according to Higgs, you would feel this drag force as a resistance.Line 5101520253035Justi fi ably, you would interpret the resistance as the particle’s mass. For a mental toehold, think of a ping-pong ball submerged in water. When you push on the ping-pong ball, it will feel much more massive than it does outside of water. Its interaction with the watery environment has the e ff ect of endowing it with mass. So with particles submerged in the Higgs fi eld.In 1964, Higgs submitted a paper to a prominent physics journal in which he formulated this ideamathematically. Th e paper was rejected. Not because it contained a technical error, but because the premise of an invisible something permeating space, interacting with particles to provide their mass, well, it all just seemed like heaps of overwrought speculation. Th e editors of the journal deemed it “of no obvious relevance to physics.” But Higgs persevered (and his revised paper appeared later that year in another journal), and physicists who took the time to study the proposal gradually realized that his idea was a stroke of genius, one that allowed them to have their cake and eat it too. In Higgs’ scheme, the fundamental equations can retain their pristine form because the dirty work of providing the particles’ masses is relegated to the environment.While I wasn’t around to witness the initial rejection of Higgs’ proposal in 1964 (well, I was around, but only barely), I can attest that by the mid-1980s, the assessment had changed. Th e physics community had, for the most part, fully bought into the idea that there was a Higgs fi eld permeating space. In fact, in a graduate course I took that covered what’s known as the Standard Model of Particle Physics (the quantum equations physicists have assembled to describe the particles of matter and the dominant forces by which they in fl uence each other), the professor presented the Higgs fi eld with such certainty that for a long while I had no idea it had yet to beestablished experimentally. On occasion, that happens in physics. Mathematical equations can sometimes tell such a convincing tale, they can seemingly radiate reality so strongly, that they become entrenched in the vernacular of working physicists, even before there’s data to con fi rm them.4045505560657075。

Answer Explanations SAT® Practice Test #1© 2015 The College Board. College Board, SAT, and the acorn logo are registered trademarks of the College Board. 5KSA09Answer ExplanationsSAT Practice Test #1Section 1: Reading T estQUESTION 1.Choice B is the best answer. In the passage, a young man (Akira) asks amother (Chie) for permission to marry her daughter (Naomi). The requestwas certainly surprising to the mother, as can be seen from line 47, whichstates that prior to Akira’s question Chie “had no idea” the request was coming.Choice A is incorrect because the passage depicts two characters engagedin a civil conversation, with Chie being impressed with Akira’s “sincerity”and finding herself “starting to like him.” Choice C is incorrect becausethe passage is focused on the idea of Akira’s and Naomi’s present lives andpossible futures. Choice D is incorrect because the interactions betweenChie and Akira are polite, not critical; for example, Chie views Akira with“amusement,” not animosity.QUESTION 2.Choice B is the best answer. The passage centers on a night when a youngman tries to get approval to marry a woman’s daughter. The passage includesdetailed descriptions of setting (a “winter’s eve” and a “cold rain,” lines 5-6);character (Akira’s “soft, refined” voice, line 33; Akira’s eyes “sh[ining] withsincerity,” line 35); and plot (“Naomi was silent. She stood a full half minutelooking straight into Chie’s eyes. Finally, she spoke,” lines 88-89).Choice A is incorrect because the passage focuses on a nontraditional mar-riage proposal. Choice C is incorrect because the passage concludes withoutresolution to the question of whether Akira and Naomi will receive permis-sion to marry. Choice D is incorrect because the passage repeatedly makesclear that for Chie, her encounter with Akira is momentous and unsettling,as when Akira acknowledges in line 73 that he has “startled” her.1QUESTION 3.Choice C is the best answer. Akira “came directly, breaking all tradition,”(line 1) when he approached Chie and asked to marry her daughter, and he“ask[ed] directly,” without “a go-between” (line 65) or “mediation,” becausedoing otherwise would have taken too much time.Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because in these contexts, “directly” doesnot mean in a frank, confident, or precise manner.QUESTION 4.Choice A is the best answer. Akira is very concerned Chie will find his mar-riage proposal inappropriate because he did not follow traditional protocol anduse a “go-between” (line 65). This is clear in lines 63-64, when Akira says toChie “Please don’t judge my candidacy by the unseemliness of this proposal.”Choice B is incorrect because there is no evidence in the passage that Akiraworries that Chie will mistake his earnestness for immaturity. Choice C is incor-rect because while Akira recognizes that his unscheduled visit is a nuisance, hislarger concern is that Chie will reject him due to the inappropriateness of hisproposal. Choice D is incorrect because there is no evidence in the passage thatAkira worries Chie will underestimate the sincerity of his emotions.QUESTION 5.Choice C is the best answer. In lines 63-64, Akira says to Chie, “Pleasedon’t judge my candidacy by the unseemliness of this proposal.” This revealsAkira’s concern that Chie may say no to the proposal simply because Akiradid not follow traditional practices.Choices A, B, and D do not provide the best evidence for the answer to theprevious question. Choice A is incorrect because line 33 merely describesAkira’s voice as “soft, refined.” Choice B is incorrect because lines 49-51reflect Chie’s perspective, not Akira’s. Choice D is incorrect because lines71-72 indicate only that Akira was speaking in an eager and forthright matter.QUESTION 6.Choice D is the best answer because Akira clearly treats Chie with respect,including “bow[ing]” (line 26) to her, calling her “Madame” (line 31), andlooking at her with “a deferential peek” (line 34). Akira does not offer Chieutter deference, though, as he asks to marry Naomi after he concedes that heis not following protocol and admits to being a “disruption” (line 31).Choice A is incorrect because while Akira conveys respect to Chie, there isno evidence in the passage that he feels affection for her. Choice B is incor-rect because neither objectivity nor impartiality accurately describes howAkira addresses Chie. Choice C is incorrect because Akira conveys respectto Chie and takes the conversation seriously.2QUESTION 7.Choice D is the best answer. The first paragraph (lines 1-4) reflects on howAkira approached Chie to ask for her daughter’s hand in marriage. In theselines, the narrator is wondering whether Chie would have been more likelyto say yes to Akira’s proposal if Akira had followed tradition: “Akira camedirectly, breaking all tradition. Was that it? Had he followed form—had heasked his mother to speak to his father to approach a go-between—wouldChie have been more receptive?” Thus, the main purpose of the first para-graph is to examine why Chie reacted a certain way to Akira’s proposal.Choice A is incorrect because the first paragraph describes only one aspect ofJapanese culture (marriage proposals) but not the culture as a whole. Choice Bis incorrect because the first paragraph implies a criticism of Akira’s individualmarriage proposal but not the entire tradition of Japanese marriage proposals.Choice C is incorrect because the narrator does not question a suggestion.QUESTION 8.Choice B is the best answer. In line 1, the narrator suggests that Akira’sdirect approach broke “all tradition.” The narrator then wonders if Akira had“followed form,” or the tradition expected of him, would Chie have beenmore receptive to his proposal. In this context, following “form” thus meansfollowing a certain tradition or custom.Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because in this context “form” does notmean the way something looks (appearance), the way it is built (structure),or its essence (nature).QUESTION 9.Choice C is the best answer. Akira states that his unexpected meeting withChie occurred only because of a “matter of urgency,” which he explains as “anopportunity to go to America, as dentist for Seattle’s Japanese community”(lines 41-42). Akira decides to directly speak to Chie because Chie’s responseto his marriage proposal affects whether Akira accepts the job offer.Choice A is incorrect because there is no evidence in the passage that Akira isworried his parents will not approve of Naomi. Choice B is incorrect becauseAkira has “an understanding” with Naomi (line 63). Choice D is incorrect;while Akira may know that Chie is unaware of his feelings for Naomi, this isnot what he is referring to when he mentions “a matter of urgency.”QUESTION 10.Choice B is the best answer. In lines 39-42, Akira clarifies that the “mat-ter of urgency” is that he has “an opportunity to go to America, as dentistfor Seattle’s Japanese community.” Akira needs Chie’s answer to his marriageproposal so he can decide whether to accept the job in Seattle.3Choices A, C, and D do not provide the best evidence for the answer to theprevious question. Choice A is incorrect because in line 39 Akira apologizesfor interrupting Chie’s quiet evening. Choice C is incorrect because lines58-59 address the seriousness of Akira’s request, not its urgency. Choice Dis incorrect because line 73 shows only that Akira’s proposal has “startled”Chie and does not explain why his request is time-sensitive.QUESTION 11.Choice A is the best answer. Lines 1-9 include examples of how manypeople shop (“millions of shoppers”), how much money they spend (“over$30 billion at retail stores in the month of December alone”), and the manyoccasions that lead to shopping for gifts (“including weddings, birthdays,anniversaries, graduations, and baby showers.”). Combined, these examplesshow how frequently people in the US shop for gifts.Choice B is incorrect because even though the authors mention that“$30 billion” had been spent in retail stores in one month, that figure isnever discussed as an increase (or a decrease). Choice C is incorrect becauselines 1-9 provide a context for the amount of shopping that occurs in the US,but the anxiety (or “dread”) it might cause is not introduced until later in thepassage. Choice D is incorrect because lines 1-9 do more than highlight thenumber of different occasions that lead to gift-giving.QUESTION 12.Choice B is the best answer. Lines 9-10 state “This frequent experienceof gift-giving can engender ambivalent feelings in gift-givers.” In the sub-sequent sentences, those “ambivalent” feelings are further exemplified asconflicted feelings, as shopping is said to be something that “[m]any relish”(lines 10-11) and “many dread” (line 14).Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because in this context, “ambivalent” doesnot mean feelings that are unrealistic, apprehensive, or supportive.QUESTION 13.Choice D is the best answer. In lines 10-13, the authors clearly state thatsome people believe gift-giving can help a relationship because it “offers apowerful means to build stronger bonds with one’s closest peers.”Choice A is incorrect because even though the authors state that someshoppers make their choices based on “egocentrism,” (line 33) there isno evidence in the passage that people view shopping as a form of self-expression. Choice B is incorrect because the passage implies that shoppingis an expensive habit. Choice C is incorrect because the passage states thatmost people have purchased and received gifts, but it never implies that peo-ple are required to reciprocate the gift-giving process.4QUESTION 14.Choice A is the best answer. In lines 10-13, the authors suggest that peoplevalue gift-giving because it may strengthen their relationships with others:“Many relish the opportunity to buy presents because gift-giving offers apowerful means to build stronger bonds with one’s closest peers.”Choices B, C, and D do not provide the best evidence for the answer to theprevious question. Choice B is incorrect because lines 22-23 discuss howpeople often buy gifts that the recipients would not purchase. Choice C isincorrect because lines 31-32 explain how gift-givers often fail to considerthe recipients’ preferences. Choice D is incorrect because lines 44-47 suggestthat the cost of a gift may not correlate to a recipient’s appreciation of it.QUESTION 15.Choice A is the best answer. The “deadweight loss” mentioned in the secondparagraph is the significant monetary difference between what a gift-giverwould pay for something and what a gift-recipient would pay for the sameitem. That difference would be predictable to social psychologists, whoseresearch “has found that people often struggle to take account of others’perspectives—their insights are subject to egocentrism, social projection,and multiple attribution errors” (lines 31-34).Choices B, C, and D are all incorrect because lines 31-34 make clear thatsocial psychologists would expect a disconnect between gift-givers and gift-recipients, not that they would question it, be disturbed by it, or find it sur-prising or unprecedented.QUESTION 16.Choice C is the best answer. Lines 41-44 suggest that gift-givers assumea correlation between the cost of a gift and how well-received it will be:“. . . gift-givers equate how much they spend with how much recipients willappreciate the gift (the more expensive the gift, the stronger a gift-recipient’sfeelings of appreciation).” However, the authors suggest this assumption maybe incorrect or “unfounded” (line 47), as gift-recipients “may not construesmaller and larger gifts as representing smaller and larger signals of thought-fulness and consideration” (lines 63-65).Choices A, B, and D are all incorrect because the passage neither statesnor implies that the gift-givers’ assumption is insincere, unreasonable, orsubstantiated.QUESTION 17.Choice C is the best answer. Lines 63-65 suggest that the assumption madeby gift-givers in lines 41-44 may be incorrect. The gift-givers assume thatrecipients will have a greater appreciation for costly gifts than for less costly5gifts, but the authors suggest this relationship may be incorrect, as gift-recipients “may not construe smaller and larger gifts as representing smallerand larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration” (lines 63-65).Choices A and D are incorrect because lines 53-55 and 75-78 address thequestion of “why” gift-givers make specific assumptions rather than address-ing the validity of these assumptions. Choice B is incorrect because lines55-60 focus on the reasons people give gifts to others.QUESTION 18.Choice D is the best answer. Lines 53-55 state that “Perhaps givers believethat bigger (i.e., more expensive) gifts convey stronger signals of thought-fulness and consideration.” In this context, saying that more expensive gifts“convey” stronger signals means the gifts send, or communicate, strongersignals to the recipients.Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because in this context, to “convey” some-thing does not mean to transport it (physically move something), coun-teract it (act in opposition to something), or exchange it (trade one thingfor another).QUESTION 19.Choice A is the best answer. The paragraph examines how gift-giversbelieve expensive gifts are more thoughtful than less expensive gifts andwill be more valued by recipients. The work of Camerer and others offersan explanation for the gift-givers’ reasoning: “gift-givers attempt to signaltheir positive attitudes toward the intended recipient and their willingness toinvest resources in a future relationship” (lines 57-60).Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the theory articulated by Camererand others is used to explain an idea put forward by the authors (“giversbelieve that bigger . . . gifts convey stronger signals”), not to introduce anargument, question a motive, or support a conclusion.QUESTION 20.Choice B is the best answer. The graph clearly shows that gift-givers believethat a “more valuable” gift will be more appreciated than a “less valuablegift.” According to the graph, gift-givers believe the monetary value of a giftwill determine whether that gift is well received or not.Choice A is incorrect because the graph does not suggest that gift-givers areaware of gift-recipients’ appreciation levels. Choices C and D are incorrectbecause neither the gift-givers’ desire for the gifts they purchase nor the gift-givers’ relationship with the gift-recipients is addressed in the graph.6QUESTION 21.Choice A is the best answer. Lines 69-75 explain that while people are oftenboth gift-givers and gift-receivers, they struggle to apply information theylearned as a gift-giver to a time when they were a gift-receiver: “Y et, despite theextensive experience that people have as both givers and receivers, they oftenstruggle to transfer information gained from one role (e.g., as a giver) andapply it in another, complementary role (e.g., as a receiver).” The authors sug-gest that the disconnect between how much appreciation a gift-giver thinks agift merits and how much appreciation a gift-recipient displays for the gift maybe caused by both individuals’ inability to comprehend the other’s perspective.Choices B and C are incorrect because neither the passage nor the graphaddresses the idea that society has become more materialistic or that there isa growing opposition to gift-giving. Choice D is incorrect because the pas-sage emphasizes that gift-givers and gift-recipients fail to understand eachother’s perspective, but it offers no evidence that the disconnect results onlyfrom a failure to understand the other’s intentions.QUESTION 22.Choice B is the best answer. Lines 2-4 of the passage describe DNA as“a very long chain, the backbone of which consists of a regular alternation ofsugar and phosphate groups.” The backbone of DNA, in other words, is themain structure of a chain made up of repeating units of sugar and phosphate.Choice A is incorrect because the passage describes DNA on the molecularlevel only and never mentions the spinal column of organisms. Choice C isincorrect because the passage describes the backbone of the molecule ashaving “a regular alternation” of sugar and phosphate, not one or the other.Choice D is incorrect because the nitrogenous bases are not the main struc-tural unit of DNA; rather, they are attached only to the repeating units of sugar.QUESTION 23.Choice D is the best answer. The authors explain that hydrogen bonds jointogether pairs of nitrogenous bases, and that these bases have a specificstructure that leads to the pairing: “One member of a pair must be a purineand the other a pyrimidine in order to bridge between the two chains” (lines27-29). Given the specific chemical properties of a nitrogenous base, itwould be inaccurate to call the process random.Choice A is incorrect because lines 5-6 describe how nitrogenous basesattach to sugar but not how those bases pair with one another. Choice B isincorrect because lines 9-10 do not contradict the student’s claim. Choice Cis incorrect because lines 23-25 describe how the two molecules’ chains arelinked, not what the specific pairing between nitrogenous bases is.7QUESTION 24.Choice D is the best answer. In lines 12-14 the authors state: “the first fea-ture of our structure which is of biological interest is that it consists not ofone chain, but of two.”Choices A and B are incorrect because lines 12-14 explicitly state that it isthe two chains of DNA that are of “biological interest,” not the chemicalformula of DNA, nor the common fiber axis those two chains are wrappedaround. Choice C is incorrect because, while the X-ray evidence did helpWatson and Crick to discover that DNA consists of two chains, it was notclaimed to be the feature of biological interest.QUESTION 25.Choice C is the best answer. In lines 12-14 the authors claim that DNA mol-ecules appear to be comprised of two chains, even though “it has often beenassumed . . . there would be only one” (lines 15-17). The authors support thisclaim with evidence compiled from an X-ray: “the density, taken with the X-rayevidence, suggests very strongly that there are two [chains]” (lines 18-19).Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the authors mention density andX-ray evidence to support a claim, not to establish that DNA carries geneticinformation, present a hypothesis about the composition of a nucleotide, orconfirm a relationship between the density and chemical formula of DNA.QUESTION 26.Choice B is the best answer. The authors explain that “only certain pairs ofbases will fit into the structure” (lines 25-26) of the DNA molecule. Thesepairs must contain “a purine and the other a pyrimidine in order to bridgebetween the two chains” (lines 27-29), which implies that any other pairingwould not “fit into the structure” of the DNA molecule. Therefore, a pairof purines would be larger than the required purine/pyrimidine pair andwould not fit into the structure of the DNA molecule.Choice A is incorrect because this section is not discussing the distancebetween a sugar and phosphate group. Choice C is incorrect because thepassage never makes clear the size of the pyrimidines or purines in relationto each other, only in relation to the space needed to bond the chains ofthe DNA molecule. Choice D is incorrect because the lines do not make animplication about the size of a pair of pyrimidines in relation to the size of apair consisting of a purine and a pyrimidine.QUESTION 27.Choice D is the best answer. The authors explain how the DNA moleculecontains a “precise sequence of bases” (lines 43-44), and that the authors canuse the order of bases on one chain to determine the order of bases on theother chain: “If the actual order of the bases on one of the pair of chains were8given, one could write down the exact order of the bases on the other one,because of the specific pairing. Thus one chain is, as it were, the comple-ment of the other, and it is this feature which suggests how the deoxyribo-nucleic acid molecule might duplicate itself” (lines 45-51). The authors usethe words “exact,” “specific,” and “complement” in these lines to suggest thatthe base pairings along a DNA chain is understood and predictable, and mayexplain how DNA “duplicate[s] itself” (line 51).Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not suggest that most nucle-otide sequences are known. Choice B is incorrect because these lines are notdiscussing the random nature of the base sequence along one chain of DNA.Choice C is incorrect because the authors are describing the bases attachedonly to the sugar, not to the sugar-phosphate backbone.QUESTION 28.Choice C is the best answer. Lines 6-7 state that “Two of the possible bases—adenine and guanine—are purines,” and on the table the percentages of ade-nine and guanine in yeast DNA are listed as 31.3% and 18.7% respectively.Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not state the percentagesof both purines, adenine and guanine, in yeast DNA.QUESTION 29.Choice A is the best answer. The authors state: “We believe that the baseswill be present almost entirely in their most probable forms. If this is true,the conditions for forming hydrogen bonds are more restrictive, and the onlypairs of bases possible are: adenine with thymine, and guanine with cytosine”(lines 31-35). The table shows that the pairs adenine/thymine and guanine/cytosine have notably similar percentages in DNA for all organisms listed.Choice B is incorrect. Although the choice of “Yes” is correct, the explana-tion for that choice misrepresents the data in the table. Choices C and D areincorrect because the table does support the authors’ proposed pairing ofnitrogenous bases in DNA molecules.QUESTION 30.Choice A is the best answer because it gives the percentage of cytosine(17.3%) in sea urchin DNA and the percentage of guanine (17.7%) in seaurchin DNA. Their near similar pairing supports the authors’ proposal thatpossible pairings of nitrogenous bases are “adenine with thymine, and gua-nine with cytosine” (line 35).Choices B, C, and D do not provide the best evidence for the answer to theprevious question. Choice B (cytosine and thymine), Choice C (cytosine andadenine), and Choice D (guanine and adenine) are incorrect because theyshow pairings of nitrogenous bases that do not compose a similar percent-age of the bases in sea urchin DNA.9QUESTION 31.Choice D is the best answer. The table clearly shows that the percentage of ade-nine in each organism’s DNA is different, ranging from 24.7% in E.coli to 33.2%in the octopus. That such a variability would exist is predicted in lines 41-43,which states that “in a long molecule many different permutations are possible.”Choices A and B are incorrect because the table shows that the percentage ofadenine varies between 24.7% and 33.2% in different organisms. Choice C isincorrect because lines 36-38 state that adenine pairs with thymine but doesnot mention the variability of the base composition of DNA.QUESTION 32.Choice B is the best answer. In this passage, Woolf asks women a series ofquestions. Woolf wants women to consider joining “the procession of edu-cated men” (lines 56-57) by becoming members of the workforce. Woolfstresses that this issue is urgent, as women “have very little time in which toanswer [these questions]” (lines 48-49).Choice A is incorrect because Woolf argues against the tradition of only“the sons of educated men” (lines 82-83) joining the workforce. Choice C isincorrect because Woolf is not highlighting the severity of social divisionsas much as she is explaining how those divisions might be reduced (withwomen joining the workforce). Choice D is incorrect because Woolf doesnot question the feasibility of changing the workforce dynamic.QUESTION 33.Choice A is the best answer. Throughout the passage, Woolf advocates formore women to engage with existing institutions by joining the workforce:“We too can leave the house, can mount those steps [to an office], pass inand out of those doors, . . . make money, administer justice . . .” (lines 30-32).Woolf tells educated women that they are at a “moment of transition” (line 51)where they must consider their future role in the workforce.Choice B is incorrect because even though Woolf mentions women’s tradi-tional roles (lines 68-69: “while they stirred the pot, while they rocked thecradle”), she does not suggest that women will have to give up these traditionalroles to gain positions of influence. Choice C is incorrect because thoughWoolf wonders how “the procession of the sons of educated men” impactswomen’s roles, she does not argue that this male-dominated society has hadgrave and continuing effects. Choice D is incorrect because while Woolf sug-gests educated women can hold positions currently held by men, she does notsuggest that women’s entry into positions of power will change those positions.QUESTION 34.Choice C is the best answer. Woolf uses the word “we” to refer to herselfand educated women in English society, the “daughters of educated men”10(line 64). Woolf wants these women to consider participating in a chang-ing workforce: “For there, trapesing along at the tail end of the procession[to and from work], we go ourselves” (lines 23-24). In using the word “we”throughout the passage, Woolf establishes a sense of solidarity among edu-cated women.Choice A is incorrect because Woolf does not use “we” to reflect on whetherpeople in a group are friendly to one another; she is concerned with generat-ing solidarity among women. Choice B is incorrect because though Woolfadmits women have predominantly “done their thinking” within traditionalfemale roles (lines 64-69), she does not use “we” to advocate for more can-dor among women. Choice D is incorrect because Woolf does not use “we”to emphasize a need for people in a group to respect one other; rather, shewants to establish a sense of solidarity among women.QUESTION 35.Choice B is the best answer. Woolf argues that the “bridge over the RiverThames, [has] an admirable vantage ground for us to make a survey” (lines 1-3).The phrase “make a survey” means to carefully examine an event or activity.Woolf wants educated women to “fix [their] eyes upon the procession—theprocession of the sons of educated men” (lines 9-11) walking to work.Choice A is incorrect because while Woolf states the bridge “is a place tostand on by the hour dreaming,” she states that she is using the bridge “toconsider the facts” (lines 6-9). Woolf is not using the bridge for fancifulreflection; she is analyzing “the procession of the sons of educated men”(lines 10-11). Choice C is incorrect because Woolf does not compare thebridge to historic episodes. Choice D is incorrect because Woolf does notsuggest that the bridge is a symbol of a male-dominated past, but rather thatit serves as a good place to watch men proceed to work.QUESTION 36.Choice D is the best answer. Woolf writes that the men who conduct theaffairs of the nation (lines 15-17: “ascending those pulpits, preaching, teach-ing, administering justice, practising medicine, transacting business, mak-ing money”) are the same men who go to and from work in a “procession”(line 10). Woolf notes that women are joining this procession, an act thatsuggests the workforce has become less exclusionary: “For there, trapesingalong at the tail end of the procession, we go ourselves” (lines 23-24).Choice A is incorrect because the procession is described as “a solemn sightalways” (lines 17-18), which indicates that it has always been influential.Choice B is incorrect because the passage does not indicate that this proces-sion has become a celebrated feature of English life. Choice C is incorrectbecause the passage states only that the procession is made up of “the sons ofeducated men” (lines 10-11).11。

At thesame time, however, the peasants still spoke English, so many of the modern words for work and everyday living are from Old English. To illustrate this fact, notice that when an animal is in the field, it is called by its Old English name: cow, sheep, or pig. However, when an animal is on a plate, it is called by its Old French name: beef, mutton, or bacon.9. The passege is primarily concerned withA. the confusing nature of the English languageB. how English words differ from French wordsC. the derivation of animal names in modern EnglishD. the drastic impact of the Norman rule on the English lanuage10.

OxQuestions 11-12 are based on the following passage.Despite a complete lack of evidence proving Atlantis’s existence, its legend has survived for millennia. The first written references to Atlantis appear in two of Plato’s dialogues, and the continent has appeared on nautical maps well into the twentieth century. Thousands of books have been written speculating where Atlantis was located, despite a legion of failed attempts by historians and scientists to find some trace of the lost city. One historian has said that belief in Atlantis Still persists because it is difficult to produce evidence that something never existed.11. The author of the passage implies that AtlantisA. is associated with a specific body of waterB. was first discovered by PlatoC. will eventually be found by explorersD. was destroyed by a volcanoE. has been described in at least three written sources12. In the context of the passage, the word “legion”(line 6) most nearly meansA. a nautical measureB. an army unitC. a strong allianceD. a brave attemptE. a vast numberQuestions 13-24 are based on the following passage.This passage is adapted from a 1996 book on sleep research.To conduct some forms of sleep research, we have to find a way to track sleepiness over the day. Some people might believe that measuring sleepiness is a fairly trivial task. Couldn't you, for instance, simply count the number of times a person yawns during any given hour or so?In most people's minds, yawning—that slow, exaggerated mouth opening with the long, deep inhalation of air, followed by a briefer exhalation—is the most obvious sign of sleepiness. It is a common behavior shared by many animals, including our pet dogs and cats but also crocodiles, snakes, birds, and even some fish. It is certainly true that sleepy people tend to yawn more than wide-awake people. It is also true that people who say they are bored by what is happening at the moment will tend to yawn more frequently. However, whether yawning is a sign that you are getting ready for sleep or that you are successfully fighting off sleep is not known. Simply stretching your body, as you might do if you have been sitting in the same position for a long period of time, will often trigger a yawn.Unfortunately, yawns don't just indicate sleepiness. In some animals, yawning is a sign of stress. When a dog trainer sees a dog yawning in a dog obedience class, it is usually a sign that the animal is under a good deal of pressure. Perhaps the handler is pushing too hard or moving too fast for the dog to feel in control of the situation.A moment or two of play and then turning to another activity is usually enough to banish yawning for quite a while.Yawning can also be a sign of stress in humans. Once,when observing airborne troops about to take their first parachute jump, I noticed that several of the soldiers were sitting in the plane and yawning. It was 10 A.M., just after a coffee break, and I doubted that they were tired; I knew for a fact that they were far too nervous to be bored. When I asked about this, the officer in charge laughed and said it was really quite a common behavior, especially on the first jump.There is also a social aspect to yawning. Psychologists have placed actors in crowded rooms and auditoriums and had them deliberately yawn. Within moments, there is usually an increase in yawning by everyone else in the room. Similarly, people who watch films or videos of others yawning are more likely to yawn. Even just reading about yawning tends to stimulate people to yawn.The truth of the matter is that we really don't know what purpose yawning serves. Scientists originally thought that the purpose of yawning was to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood or to release some accumulated carbon dioxide. We now know thatthis is not true, since increasing he concentration of carbon dioxide in the air seems not to make people more likely to yawn but to make them breathe faster to try to bring in more oxygen. On the other hand, breathing 100 percent pure oxygen does not seem to reduce the likelihood of yawning.Since yawning seems to be associated with a lot more than the need for sleep, we obviously have to find some other measure of sleepiness. Some researchers have simply tried to ask people how sleepy they feel at any time using some sort of self-rating scale. There are, however, problems with getting people to make these types of judgments. Sometimes people simply lie to the researchers when asked about how sleepy they are. This occurs because in many areas of society admitting that one is fatigued and sleepy is considered a mark of weakness or lack of ambition and drive. In other instances, people may admit they need four cups of coffee to make it through the morning, but it may never occur to them that this might be due to the fact that they are so sleepy that they need stimulation from caffeine to be able to do their required tasks. For these reasons, many researchers have developed an alternate method to determine how sleepy a person is. It is based upon a simple definition of sleep need: The greater your sleep need, or the sleepier you are, the faster you will fall asleep if given the opportunity to do so.13.The question in lines 3-5 is based on which of the followingassumptions?(A)Direct observation is the only reliable method of conductingsleep research.(B)People will yawn most frequently in the moments beforethey fall asleep.(C)There is a direct correlation between yawning andsleepiness.(D)Yawning is a behavior over which individuals exert littleconscious control.(E)Conducting sleep research is a time-consuming process.14.The comment between the dashes in lines 6-8 primarily servesto(A)clarify a claim(B)define a term(C)note a qualification(D)offer a humorous aside(E)voice a personal insight15.The author uses which of the following in the fourth paragraph?(A)Understatement(B)Personification(C)Analogy(D)Metaphor(E)Anecdote16.The author mentions the "coffee break" to emphasize that a(A)brief respite was sorely needed(B)given attitude was inappropriate(C)specific response was understandable(D)particular action was unnecessary(E)certain behavior was unexpected17.The discussion of the "social aspect" most directly demonstrates(A)the power of suggestion(B)a need for personal accountability(C)a link between personality and behavior(D)the psychological cost of conformity(E)the desire for companionship18.Which of the following, if true, would most directly disprove what"Scientists originally thought" ?(A)Carbon dioxide does not affect people's breathingrates.(B)Yawning does not reduce the need for sleep,though it may make a person feel less tired.(C)Because yawning brings more air into the lungs,it can increase the rate at which oxygen is absorbed.(D)People do not tend to yawn much at highaltitudes, where oxygen levels in the air are low.(E)People often yawn more after exercise, when carbon dioxidelevels in the blood are marginally higher.19.Lines 47-49 ("Since ... sleepiness") primarily serve to(A)introduce a lighthearted digression(B)provide a transition to a new subject(C)offer evidence in support of a prior claim(D)acknowledge a drawback to an approach advocated in theprevious paragraph(E)return the discussion to a problem mentioned earlier in thepassage20.In line 55, "drive" most nearly means(A)propulsion(B)instinct(C)campaign(D)vitality(E)momentum21.The author mentions the "other instances" (line 55) primarily tomake the point that people(A) are often intentionally deceptive about their sleep needs(B) may not be accurate judges of their own sleepiness(C) frequently do not experience a restful night of sleep(D) may sometimes use stimulants like caffeine rather than feeltired(E)are often afraid that exhaustion will interfere with their jobperformance22.Which of the following, if true, would most effectively underminethe "simple definition" (line 61) ?(A) When people are being watched by researchers, they mayshow different sleep patterns.(B) When people are extremely sleepy, they may have difficultyfalling asleep.(C) Some people have the ability to go without sleepfor very long periods of time.(D) Some people yawn whether they are tired or not.(E) Some people rarely yawn, no matter how tired they are.23.All of the following cases of yawning can be accounted for in thepassage EXCEPT:(A) A student yawns during a lecture on a boring subject.(B) A musician-yawns before taking the stage for a very importantperformance.(C) An airplane pilot yawns to clear her ears during, takeoff.(D) A person at a party yawns after those around him beginyawning.(E) A researcher yawns while reading a scientific article aboutyawning.24.The passage as a whole is best characterized as(A) informative(B) confessional(C) philosophical(D) humorous(E) argumentativeSection 3 Writing 语法1.

(2) Due to the fact of bringing together teenagers from opposite sides of conflicts all over the globe. (3) At Seeds of Peace the campers, who have been taught to hate the enemy, learn to see that the enemy has a name and a face. (4) When they learn to get along on an individual basis, they start to question calling someone "enemy."(5) During each three-week session, young people who are enemies in their home countries eat and play together, share bunkhouses, and cope with the homesickness they have in common.(6) Guided by specially trained counselors, the youngsters engage in daily, structured conversations called "coexistence sessions." (7) These f conversations are often emotional but therapeutic. (8) The campers live side by side from the moment of their arrival.(9) John Wallach, an award-winning journalist who covered conflicts in the Middle East for two decades, founded Seeds of Peace in 1993. (10) He chose the campsite because it is a beautiful natural setting far from the places of conflict. (11) Countries may select their campers but cannot pay for the camp.
