Book Test #6:Section 1Sample Essay - Score of 6The power of success can be disastrous when placed in the wrong hands. Naturally, there are those who will always choose to manipulate conditions to succeed in their own endeavors, not taking into consideration the lives of those around them. On the other hand, there may be those who do not necessarily pursue selfish ends, but simply do not know where to take success once it has been achieved, thus resulting in their ownself-sabotage.Throughout history, we have seen success used wrongfully in the hands of the unworthy. Powerful leaders of nations, kingdoms, and empires, having succeeded in gaining leadership, have then used their influence wrongfully in achieving their own selfish (and sometimes twisted) goals. Nero, the Roman emperor who beat his pregnant wife to death and has been suspected of instigating the great fire of Rome in an attempt to boost his own political influence. Henry VIII of England, for whom women were beheaded for not bearing him a son, and who is rumored to have eaten eight chickens a night while English peasants starved. The notorious Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, who carried out the Spanish Inquisition. The list is endless. Even in literature, we see the corruption and downfall of society and mankind as a whole as a result of the abuse of success in the possession of those who do not deserve it, as seen in William Shakespeare’s tragedy of King Lear. In the story, societal order is replaced with chaos when there is a power shift from Lear to his evil daughters, Regan and Goneril. This order only returns to a slight degree when virtue (in the form of Lear’s good daughter, Cordelia) returns to England. Success is hazardous when awarded to the unvirtuous.However, there may be those who are not necessarily evil of greedy in their pursuits, but merely do not know how to handle success. This proves to be just more disastrous to the individual than to anyone else, since it is the individual who will then sabotage his own success to return to his former comfort zone. Success is meant to be grown upon, not exploited or feared.Success, when achieved by the unworthy or inexperienced, is a most disastrous element. Success is not about being happy at the expense of those about you –it is about u sing one’s newly gained happiness to improve the lives of others. If one reflects on the wise words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, one will never go astray: “To know that one person has breathed easier because you have lived -this is to have succeeded.”Section 31ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer D :Choice (D) is correct. A "symbol" stands for or suggests something else by reason of association. Often an invisible idea is represented by a visible person or artifact. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "The rebels saw the huge statue of the dictator as a symbol of the totalitarian regime and swiftly toppled the monument." Statues or monuments frequently symbolize the governance of the political figures or regimes they depict. Such symbolization in the minds of the rebels would explain their impulse to destroy it.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. An "indictment" is an expression of strong disapproval. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "The rebels saw the huge statue of the dictator as an indictment of the totalitarian regime and swiftly toppled the monument." If the rebels thought the statue represented a disapproval of the regime they would be more likely to preserve than destroy it.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. An "illusion" is a misleading image. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "The rebels saw the huge statue of the dictator as an illusion of the totalitarian regime andswiftly toppled the monument." It could be possible that the rebels saw the statue as a misleading image of the regime, but the sentence does not clearly support or explain such an interpretation.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. A "copy" is an imitation. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "The rebels saw the huge statue of the dictator as a copy of the totalitarian regime and swiftly toppled the monument." It is illogical to say that a statue of a dictator is an imitation of a regime.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. A "mockery" is an insulting action or speech. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "The rebels saw the huge statue of the dictator as a mockery of the totalitarian regime and swiftly toppled the monument." If the rebels thought the statue was insulting the regime, they would be more likely to preserve than destroy it.2ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer A :Choice (A) is correct. "Adept" means highly skillful. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "Residents of the isolated island were forced to master the art of navigation, becoming the ocean's most adept sailors." It makes sense to say that those who had mastered the art of navigation became adept, or highly skilled, sailors.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. "Temperamental" means unpredictable in behavior. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "Residents of the isolated island were forced to master the art of navigation, becoming the ocean's most temperamental sailors." That the islanders were masters of navigation would probably mean that they did not behave unpredictably.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. "Congeniality" means friendliness. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "Residents of the isolated island were forced to master the art of navigation, becoming the ocean's most congenial sailors." Masters of navigation are not necessarily friendly sailors.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. "Vulnerable" means open to attack or injury. If this term were inserted into text, the sentence would read "Residents of the isolated island were forced to master the art of navigation, becoming the ocean's most vulnerable sailors." Master navigators would likely be less open to injury or attack than other, less experienced sailors.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. "Reclusive" means withdrawn or preferring solitude. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "Residents of the isolated island were forced to master the art of navigation, becoming the ocean's most reclusive sailors." While living on an isolated island might cause the sailors to prefer solitude, reclusivity does not describe their mastery of sea travel.3ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer B :Choice (B) is correct. "Penchant" means an inclination, and "to pilfer" means to steal. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "The spotted bowerbird has a penchant for amassing the bright shiny objects it needs for decorating its bower: it will enter houses to pilfer cutlery, coins, thimbles, nails, screws, even car keys." In this sentence, the statement following the colon expands on what precedes it. Describing how bowerbirds steal objects from homes expands on the idea that they tend to amass bright shiny objects for their bower.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. "Knack" means a skillful ability, and "to assess" means to evaluate. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "The spotted bowerbird has a knack for amassing the bright shiny objects it needs for decorating its bower: it will enter houses to assess cutlery, coins, thimbles, nails, screws, even car keys." Although a bowerbird may be skillful at gathering shiny objects, it is unlikely that the bird would enter a house simply to assess, or evaluate, the objects found in a house, without then stealing them.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. "Purpose" means a reason, and "to dispense" means to distribute or get rid of. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "The spotted bowerbird has a purpose for amassing the bright shiny objects it needs for decorating its bower: it will enter houses to dispense cutlery, coins, thimbles, nails, screws, even car keys." Although a bowerbird may have a reason for amassing shiny objects, it would enter a house to find objects, not get rid of them.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. A "predilection" is a preference, and "to disturb" means to disrupt or unsettle. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "The spotted bowerbird has a predilection for amassing the bright shiny objects it needs for decorating its bower: it will enter houses to disturb cutlery, coins, thimbles, nails, screws, even car keys." If a bowerbird had a predilection, or preference, for gathering shiny objects, the bird wouldn’t enter a house simply to disturb the objects found there; it would want to gather them.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. A "remedy" is a cure, and "to raid" means to loot or plunder. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "The spotted bowerbird has a remedy for amassing the bright shiny objects it needs for decorating its bower: it will enter houses to raid cutlery, coins, thimbles, nails, screws, even car keys." Although a bowerbird may enter a house to raid shiny objects, it doesn’t make sense to say that the bird has a remedy, or cure, for amassing shiny objects.4ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer A :Choice (A) is correct. "Inseparable from" means incapable of being separated, and "legitimacy" means conforming to socially accepted standards. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Not only was the science of Hildegard of Bingen inseparable from her theology, but her religious visions helped give her scientific works legitimacy by winning her the support of medieval church authorities." The "Not only. . . but" construction indicates that the second clause of the sentence will be consistent with, and may extend the meaning of, the first clause. It makes sense that the support of the influential medieval church for theologically based scientific works would provide her works with legitimacy.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. "Unconcerned with" means not related to, and "prestige" means high social respect or regard. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Not only was the science ofHildegard of Bingen unconcerned with her theology, but her religious visions helped give her scientific works prestige by winning her the support of medieval church authorities." If the support of the church won her scientific work high social regard, then it would likely be related to theology.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. "Derived from" means to come from another place of origin, and "profundity" means depth of meaning. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Not only was the science of Hildegard of Bingen derived from her theology, but her religious visions helped give her scientific works profundity by winning her the support of medieval church authorities." Although her science may have been derived from her theology, it doesn't follow that the church's support would make her work more profound.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. "Related to" means connected with, and "accuracy" means correctness. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Not only was the science of Hildegard of Bingen related to her theology, but her religious visions helped give her scientific works accuracy by winning her the support of medieval church authorities." Although her science may have been related to her theology, it doesn't follow that the church's support would make her work more accurate.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. "Diminished by" means lessened by or weakened, and "detachment" means objectivity. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Not only was the science of Hildegard of Bingen diminished by her theology, but her religious visions helped give her scientific works detachment by winning her the support of medieval church authorities." Although her scientific work could have been weakened by her theology, it doesn't make sense to say that her visions or the church's support gave her scientific works objectivity. It is more likely that such support would weaken her work's objectivity.5ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer A :Choice (A) is correct. "Elitist" means favoring a small, high-status group, and "perquisites" are privileges. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Opponents of the research institute label it an elitist anachronism; its scholars, they allege, have perquisites rivaling those of pre-Revolutionary French nobility." A research institute that provides perquisites, or privileges, that are so excessive that they rival those of pre-Revolutionary French nobility can appropriately be called elitist, or favoring a small, high-status group.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. "Monarchical" means pertaining to a king, and "tribulations" are sufferings. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Opponents of the research institute label it a monarchical anachronism; its scholars, they allege, have tribulations rivaling those of pre-Revolutionary French nobility." The pre-Revolutionary French nobility were not known for their suffering, and it is unlikely that the opponents of the research institute would criticize the institute's scholars for having tribulations, or sufferings.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. "Irreproachable" means faultless, and "luxuries" are extravagant comforts. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Opponents of the research institute label it an irreproachable anachronism; its scholars, they allege, have luxuries rivaling those of pre-Revolutionary French nobility." Opponents of an institution would not call it faultless and would criticize the institution for lavishing luxuries on its scholars.Choice (D) is incorrect. "Reprehensible" means deserving blame, and "afflictions" are sufferings. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Opponents of the research institute label it a reprehensible anachronism; its scholars, they allege, have afflictions rivaling those of pre-Revolutionary French nobility." Although opponents might label the institute reprehensible, or blameworthy, they would not be likely to criticize the institute's scholars for having afflictions, or sufferings. Furthermore, thepre-Revolutionary nobility were not known for their suffering.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. "Commendable" means praiseworthy, and "privileges" are deserved rights or luxuries. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Opponents of the research institute label it a commendable anachronism; its scholars, they allege, have privileges rivaling those ofpre-Revolutionary French nobility." Opponents who accuse the institute of providing excessive privileges would not characterize it as commendable, or praiseworthy.6ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer C :Choice (C) is correct. While the author of Passage 2 is critical of Linnaeus’ legacy, the autho r of Passage 1 expresses appreciation of his contribution to natural history, describing it as "enormous and essential." Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. The author of Passage 1 does not regard Linnaeus with "cynicism," or scornful distrust. On the contrary, the passage expresses great respect for his significant contribution to science. Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. Neither author expresses any "bafflement," or confusion, regarding Linnaeus or the historical role he played in the field of science.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. The author of Passage 1 does not express "nostalgia," or bittersweet longing, for Linnaeus or for the era in which he lived.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. While Passage 1 asserts that scientists misused the system of classification, there is no suggestion that the author feels "resentful" of, or personally wronged by, Linnaeus.7ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer D :Choice (D) is correct. Unlike Passage 1, Passage 2 uses a first-person narrative voice that openly expresses the author’s "wariness" regarding Linnaeus' contribution to natural science.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. Specific scientific facts do not appear in either passage.Choice (B) is incorrect. Neither writer uses "literary allusion," or an indirect reference to a work of literature. Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. It is Passage 1, not Passage 2, that includes historical background information on Linnaeus and on the role that classificatory systems have played in science.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. Neither passage uses "direct citations."8ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer A :Choice (A) is correct. Although the two authors judge Linnaeus’ work differently, they agree that his classificatory system has had a great influence on the field of natural science.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. The author of Passage 2 claims that Linnaeus’ system limits modern human understanding of the natural world, but the author of Passage 1 does not mention science after the nineteenth century.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. Neither passage implies that interest in biology was declining or that Linnaeus’ work renewed curiosity in the field.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. These passages do not discuss the classification system’s ability to resolve disagreements within the scientific community. On the contrary, the author of Passage 2 writes about Linnaeus' work to raise, not settle, questions regarding the validity of classification.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. Neither passage refers to scientific discoveries that may have laid the foundation for Linnaeus' famous system.9ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer D :Choice (D) is correct. The author of Passage 1 argues that unlike his followers, Linnaeus probably saw his system of classification as a tool, not the goal, of science. The author of Passage 2 does not make this distinction.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. Neither author implies that Linnaeus has not received enough recognition as a scientist. Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. Lines 12-17 intimate that the impact of Linnaeus' system was not entirely advantageous, but this section of Passage 2 does not dismiss the contributions of scientists who have integrated his work into their own.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. The author of Passage 2 does "not dispute the value of" classification, but argues that Linnaeus' system has had a negative impact on "humans' relationship to the world."Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. Both authors agree th at Linnaeus’ most notable contribution to natural history was his system of classifying plant and animal life.10ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer B :Choice (B) is correct. It makes sense to say that the residents of Macondo needed "time and effort" to grow accustomed to a "persistent," or insistently continuous, noise.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. It would be illogical to call a noise emanating from a light bulb "enthusiastic." Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. "Obvious" does not describe a noise that requires time and effort to get used to hearing. Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. In this context, "obsessive" is not used to indicate infatuation, or short-lived passion. Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. An electric generator plant may be called "hardworking." Such a term, however, does not describe a noise that takes time and effort to become used to hearing.11ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer C :Choice (C) is correct. After paying to "share the difficulties" of the on-screen characters, the citizens felt cheated to discover that they were only actors, not real people deserving of their sympathy.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. Although each person paid two cents for admission, nothing in the passage indicates that this charge was either excessive or the cause of their anger.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. The audience was not angered by the on-screen adventures themselves, but rather by the fact that those events had not actually occurred.Choice (D) is incorrect. The public seemed to enjoy commiserating with characters who had fallen on hard times. The citizens were only upset to discover that they had felt real emotion on behalf of actors who were only pretending.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. The public was not angered because the plots were "implausible," or unlikely, but rather because they were untrue.12ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer A :Choice (A) is correct. The phonograph, an early record player, intially intrigued the citizens of Macondo.They were eventually disappointed to learn, however, that the device was mechanical, not magical, and therefore lacking in the "moving" and "human" qualities of a live musicians.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. Nothing in the passage indicates that phonographs required any special skill to operate. Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. The passage implies that the machines were, in fact, frequently and closely observed by curious citizens on the street where they were sold.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. Although the phonograph dampened citizens' enthusiasm for live music "for a time," they did not abandon the invention because musicians were suffering. Rather, they tired of the machines because they eventually concluded that recorded music was inferior to live music.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. The passage is clear that it was only after the adults of Macondo had rejected the foreign record players that children were permitted to amuse themselves by dismantling them.13ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer D :Choice (D) is correct. The citizens found the telephone disturbing because of all the new machines that strained people's ability to discern "the limits of reality"; the telephone ran most counter to what they had always thought about the natural world.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. The citizens were not upset by the origin of the telephone, but by how it forced them to reevaluate their ideas about the world.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect.The passage does not discuss the social implications of the telephone.Choice (C) is incorrect. The citizens’ anxiety about the telephone was not related to their fears concerning the village’s daily life, but to their overall understanding of reality.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. The passage does not address the telephone’s potential effect on the job market in Macondo.14ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer C :Choice (C) is correct. The passage suggests that the citizens of Maconda are stuck in a cycle of "disappointment, doubt and revelation." They welcome new inventions with wonder and awe before rejecting them for being less "marvelous" and "enchanted" than they seemed.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. Both the telephone and phonograph were operated with a crank, or turning handle, but that feature is not related to the citizens’ disappointment.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. At no point in the passage does the educational value of these inventions come into play.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. The townspeople are not concerned by the fact that the film projector and phonograph were created to entertain, and it can be argued that the light bulb and telephone are not meant for entertainment at all.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. The machines were not necessarily hard to operate, and the passage suggests that the people were disappointed with them for other reasons.15ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer D :Choice (D) is correct. The passage mainly deals with the "influx," or arrival, of technological inventions in Macondo and the citizen's mixed reactions to them.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. Although the passage implies that the "respectable" citizens of Maconda did not typically mingle with members of the working class, the main purpose of the passage is not to make a statement about class relations within the town.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. Although the passage describes new inventions, it does so in order to make a larger point about the way they were received among the people of Macondo.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. The main purpose of the passage is not to show how different people had a common reaction to something "magical," but to illustrate how they responded to new technologies.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. The passage’s purpose is not to "delineate," or describe, ideas about nature triumphing over technology. Rather, its purpose is to explain how the people of Macondo responded to new technologies. 16ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer A :Choice (A) is correct. An admission of a lack of expertise is a disclaimer; a statement is an assertion. In the first sentence, the author admits to a lack of certain kinds of expertise; in the second sentence, the author states an opinion about Martha Graham's work.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. No one is invoked, or appealed to, in the first sentence, and the second sentence does not define anything.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. In the first sentence the author admits to a lack of expertise but not in an apologetic way; the second sentence is an assertion but not a confession.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. To say that the first sentence is a statement of authority doesn't make any sense, and the second sentence is a statement of opinion but not a hypothesis, or a basis for experimental investigation. Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. The first sentence does not rebut, or challenge, anyone else's argument, and while the second sentence is an introduction to the analysis that follows in the passage, it is not itself an analysis.17ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer B :Choice (B) is correct. The author uses the statement in discussing Graham's "instincts of a mathematician or physicist" in her approach to choreography. The quoted phrase is part of a statement that expands on an earlier point about Graham's approach to line and direction in dance, which the author of the passage believes is both mathematical and emotional.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. Although the author does suggest that Graham sought to produce emotional effects through the use of line, there is no indication that those effects were intended to be spectacular.。

After being dropped a certain ball always bounces back to 2/5 of the height of its previous bounce. After the first bounce it reaches a height of 125 inches. How high (in inches) will it reach after its fourth bounce?A. 20B. 15C. 8D. 5E. 3.210. n and p are integers greater than 15n is the square of a number75np is the cube of a number.The smallest value for n + p isA. 14B. 18C. 20D. 30E. 50参考答案见下一页1.Correct Answer: BExplanation:The marked angle, ABC must be more than 90 degrees because it is the external angle of triangle BDC, and must be equal to the sum of angles BDC (90) and DCB.Also ABC is not a straight line and must be less than 180.Therefore 90 < 5x < 180The only value of x which satisfies this relation is 20.2.Correct Answer: AExplanation:20 large cakes will require the equivalent of 10 helpers working for one hour. 700 small cakes will require the equivalent of 20 helpers working for one hour. This means if only one hour were available we would need 30 helpers. But since three hours are available we can use 10 helpers.3.Correct Answer: EExplanation:Indian stamps are common to both ratios. Multiply both ratios by factors such that the Indian stamps are represented by the same number.US : Indian = 5 : 2, and Indian : British = 5 : 1. Multiply the first by 5, and the second by 2.Now US : Indian = 25 : 10, and Indian : British = 10 : 2Hence the two ratios can be combined and US : British = 25 : 24.Correct Answer: CExplanation:Draw the diagram. The diagonal of the rectangle is the diameter of the circle. The diagonal is the hypotenuse of a 3,4,5 triangle, and is therefore, 5.Circumference = π.diameter = 5π5.Correct Answer: DExplanation:If two sets of four consecutive integers have one integer in common, the total in the combined set is 7., and we can write the sets as n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3 ) and(n + 3) + (n + 4) + (n + 5) + (n + 6)Note that each term in the second set is 3 more than the equivalent term in the first set. Since there are four terms the total of the differences will be 4 x 3 = 126.Correct Answer: DExplanation:You can solve this by back solving – substitute the answer choices in the expression and see which gives the greatest value.satA (-1 + 2) / (-1-2) = -2 / 2 = -1;B (0 + 2) / (0-2) = 2/ -2 = -1;C (1 + 2) / (1-2) = 3/-1 = -3;D (3 + 2) / (3-2) = 5/1 = 5;E (4+ 2) / (4-2) = 6/2 = 3If you had just chosen the largest value for x you would have been wrong. So although it looks a long method, it is actually quick and accurate since the numbers are really simple and you can do the math in your head.7.Correct Answer: DExplanation:(Total area of square - sum of the areas of triangles ADE and DCF) will give the area of the quadrilateral9 - (2 x x 3 x 1.5) = 4.58.Correct Answer: EExplanation:Remember that n could be positive negative or a fraction. Try out a few cases:In case I, if n is -1, then 2n is less than n.In case II, if n is a fraction such as then n2 will be less than n.In case III, if n is 2, then 2-n = 0, which is less than n.Therefore, none of the choices must be greater than n9.Correct Answer: CExplanation:If after each bounce it reaches 2/5 of the previous height, then after the second bounce it will reach 2/5 x 125. After the third it will reach 2/5 x 2/5 x 125. After the fourth it will reach 2/5 x 2/5 x 2/5 x 125. This cancels down to 2 x 2 x 2 = 810.Correct Answer: AExplanation:The smallest value for n such that 5n is a square is 5.75np can now be written as 75 x 5 x p.This gives prime factors.... 3 x 5 x 5 x 5 x pTo make the expression a perfect cube, p will have to have factors 3 x 3 , and hence p =9n + p = 5 + 9 = 14文档内容到此结束,欢迎大家下载、修改、丰富并分享给更多有需要的人。

As you read the passage below,consider how Christopher Hitchens uses•evidence,such as facts or examples,to support claims.•reasoning to develop ideas and to connect claims and evidence.•stylistic or persuasive elements,such as word choice or appeals to emotion,to add power to the ideas expressed.Adapted from Christopher Hitchens,“The Lovely Stones.”©2009by CondéNast Digital.Originally published July2009.1The great classicist wrence...once remarked of the Parthenon1that it is “the one building in the world which may be assessed as absolutely right.”...2Not that the beauty and symmetry of the Parthenon have not been abused and perverted and mutilated.Five centuries after the birth of Christianity the Parthenon was closed and desolated....Turkish forces also used it for centuries as a garrison2 and an arsenal,with the tragic result that in1687...a powder magazine was detonated and huge damage inflicted on the structure.Most horrible of all, perhaps,the Acropolis was made to fly a Nazi flag during the German occupation of Athens....3The damage done by the ages to the building,and by past empires and occupations, cannot all be put right.But there is one desecration and dilapidation that can at least be partially undone.Early in the19th century,Britain’s ambassador to the Ottoman Empire,Lord Elgin,sent a wrecking crew to the Turkish-occupied territory of Greece,where it sawed off approximately half of the adornment of the Parthenon and carried it away.As with all things Greek,there were three elements to this,the most lavish and beautiful sculptural treasury in human history.Under the direction of the artistic genius Phidias,the temple had two massive pediments decorated with the figures of Pallas Athena,Poseidon,and the gods of the sun and the moon.It then had a series of92high-relief panels,or metopes,depicting a succession of mythical and historical battles.The most intricate element was the frieze,carved in bas-relief,3 which showed the gods,humans,and animals that made up the annual Pan-Athens procession:there were192equestrian warriors and auxiliaries featured,which happens to be the exact number of the city’s heroes who fell at the Battle of Marathon.Experts differ on precisely what story is being told here,but the frieze was quite clearly carved as a continuous narrative.Except that half the cast of the tale is still in Bloomsbury,in London,having been sold well below cost by Elgin to the British government in1816for$2.2million in today’s currency to pay off his many debts....1An ancient Greek temple located on the grounds of the ancient citadel,the Acropolis of Athens2A military fort or base3Raised carvings made of stone2Unauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal.4...[T]here has been a bitter argument about the legitimacy of the British Museum’s deal.I’ve written a whole book about this controversy and won’t oppress you with all the details,but would just make this one point.If the Mona Lisa had been sawed in two during the Napoleonic Wars and the separated halves had been acquired by different museums in,say,St.Petersburg and Lisbon,would there not be a general wish to see what they might look like if re-united?If you think my analogy is overdrawn,consider this:the body of the goddess Iris is at present in London,while her head is in Athens.The front part of the torso of Poseidon is in London,and the rear part is in Athens.And so on.This is grotesque....5It is unfortunately true that[Athens]allowed itself to become very dirty and polluted in the20th century,and as a result the remaining sculptures and statues on the Parthenon were nastily eroded by“acid rain.”...But gradually and now impressively,the Greeks have been living up to their responsibilities.Beginning in 1992,the endangered marbles were removed from the temple,given careful cleaning with ultraviolet and infra-red lasers,and placed in a climate-controlled interior....6About a thousand feet southeast of the temple[is]the astonishing new Acropolis Museum....With10times the space of the old repository,it display[s]all the marvels that go with the temples on top of the hill.Most important,it show[s],for the first time in centuries,how the Parthenon sculptures looked to the citizens of old....7The British may continue in their constipated fashion to cling to what they have so crudely amputated,but...the Acropolis Museum has hit on the happy idea of exhibiting...its own original sculptures with the London-held pieces represented by beautifully copied casts.This creates a natural thirst to see the actual re-assembly completed.So,far from emptying or weakening a museum,this controversy has created another[museum],which is destined to be among Europe’s finest galleries. And one day,surely,there will be an agreement to do the right thing by the world’s most“right”structure.Write an essay in which you explain how Christopher Hitchens builds anargument to persuade his audience that the original Parthenon sculpturesshould be returned to Greece.In your essay,analyze how Hitchens uses one ormore of the features listed in the box above(or features of your own choice)to strengthen the logic and persuasiveness of his argument.Be sure that youranalysis focuses on the most relevant features of the passage.Your essay should not explain whether you agree with Hitchens’s claims,butrather explain how Hitchens builds an argument to persuade his audience.Unauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal.3。

新SAT官方指南阅读第六篇全解析
新SAT官方指南阅读第六篇全解析This passage is from Charlotte Brontë,The Professor,originally published in1857.No man likes to acknowledge that he has made a mistake in the choice of his profession,and every man,worthy of the name,will row long against wind and tide before he allows himself to cry out,“I am baffled!”and submits to be floated passively back to land.From the first week of my residence in X—felt my occupation irksome.The thing itself—the work of copying and5translating business-letters—was a dry and tedious task enough,but had that been all,I shouldlong have borne with the nuisance;I am not of an impatient nature,and influenced by the double desire of getting my living and justifying to myself and others the resolution I had taken tobecome a tradesman,I should have endured in silence the rust and cramp of my best faculties;I should not have whispered,even inwardly,that I longed for liberty;I should have pent in every 10sigh by which my heart might have ventured to intimate its distress under the closeness,smoke, monotony,and joyless tumult of Bigben Close,and its panting desire for freer and fresher scenes;I should have set up the image of Duty,the fetish of Perseverance,in my small bedroom at Mrs.King’s lodgings,and they two should have been my household gods,from which my darling,my cherished-in-secret,Imagination,the tender and the mighty,should never,either by softness orstrength,have severed me.But this was not all;the antipathy which had sprung up between myself 15and my employer striking deeper root and spreading denser shade daily,excluded me from everyglimpse of the sunshine of life;and I began to feel like a plant growing in humid darkness out of the slimy walls of a well.Antipathy is the only word which can express the feeling Edward Crimsworth had for me—a 20feeling,in a great measure,involuntary,and which was liable to be excited by every,the mosttrifling movement,look,or word of mine.My southern accent annoyed him;the degree ofeducation evinced in my language irritated him;my punctuality,industry,and accuracy,fixed his dislike,and gave it the high flavour and poignant relish of envy;he feared that I too should one day make a successful tradesman.Had I been in anything inferior to him,he would not have hated 25me so thoroughly,but I knew all that he knew,and,what was worse,he suspected that I kept the padlock of silence on mental wealth in which he was no sharer.If he could have once placed me ina ridiculous or mortifying position,he would have forgiven me much,but I was guarded by threefaculties—Caution,Tact,Observation;and prowling and prying as was Edward’s malignity,itcould never baffle the lynx-eyes of these,my natural sentinels.Day by day did his malice watch 30my tact,hoping it would sleep,and prepared to steal snake-like on its slumber;but tact,if it begenuine,never sleeps.I had received my first quarter’s wages,and was returning to my lodgings,possessed heartand soul with the pleasant feeling that the master who had paid me grudged every penny of that hard‑earned pittance—(I had long ceased to regard Mr.Crimsworth as my brother—he was a hard, 35grinding master;he wished to be an inexorable tyrant:that was all).Thoughts,not varied butstrong,occupied my mind;two voices spoke within me;again and again they uttered the samemonotonous phrases.One said:“William,your life is intolerable.”The other:“What can you do to alter it?”I walked fast,for it was a cold,frosty night in January;as I approached my lodgings,Iturned from a general view of my affairs to the particular speculation as to whether my fire would 40be out;looking towards the window of my sitting-room,I saw no cheering red gleam.1.Which choice best summarizes the passage?(A)A character describes his dislike for his new job and considers the reasons why.(B)Two characters employed in the same office become increasingly competitive.(C)A young man regrets privately a choice that he defends publicly.(D)A new employee experiences optimism,then frustration,and finally despair.正确答案:A分析:作者在文章当中承认自己的工作令人厌烦(irksome),并且讲述了不喜欢这份工作的原因是和自己的老板关系不好。
