Archaeology as a profession faces two major problems. First, it is the poorest of the poor. Only paltry sums are available for excavating and even less is available for publishing the results (5) and preserving the sites once excavated. Yet archaeologists deal with priceless objects every day. Second, there is the problem of illegal excavation, resulting in museum-quality pieces being sold to the highest bidder. (10) Iwould like to make an outrageous suggestion that would at one stroke provide funds for archaeology and reduce the amount of illegal digging. Iwould propose that scientific archaeological expeditions and governmental (15) authorities sell excavated artifacts on the open market. Such sales would provide substantial funds for the excavation and preservation of archaeological sites and the publication of results. At the same time, they would break the illegal (20) excavator's grip on the market, thereby decreasing the inducement to engage in illegal activities. You might object that professionals excavate to acquire knowledge, not money. Moreover, ancient artifacts are part of our global cultural heritage, (25) which should be available for all to appreciate, not sold to the highest bidder. Iagree. Sell nothing that has unique artistic merit or scientific value. But, you might reply, everything that comes out of the ground has scientific value. Here we part company. (30) Theoretically, you may be correct in claiming that every artifact has potential scientific value. Practically, you are wrong. I refer to the thousands of pottery vessels and ancient lamps that are essentially duplicates of (35) one another. In one small excavation in Cyprus, archaeologists recently uncovered 2,000 virtually indistinguishable small jugs in a single courtyard. Even precious royal seal impressions known as I'melekh handles have been found in abundance (40) —more than 4,000 examples so far. The basements of museums are simply not large enough to store the artifacts that are likely to be discovered in the future. There is not enough money even to catalog the finds; as a result, they 368 (45) cannot be found again and become as inaccessible as if they had never been discovered. Indeed, with the help of a computer, sold artifacts could be more accessible than are the pieces stored in bulging museum basements. Prior to sale, each could be (50) photographed and the list of the purchasers could be maintained on the computer. A purchaser could even be required to agree to return the piece if it should become needed for scientific purposes. It would be unrealistic to suggest that illegal (55) digging would stop if artifacts were sold on the open market. But the demand for the clandestine product would be substantially reduced. Who would want an unmarked pot when another was available whose provenance was known, and that was dated (60) stratigraphically by the professional archaeologist who excavated it? The primary purpose of the passage is to propose (A) an alternative to museum display of artifacts (B) a way to curb illegal digging while benefiting the archaeological profession (C) a wayto distinguish artifacts with scientific value from those that have no such value (D) the governmental regulation of archaeological sites (E) a new system for cataloging duplicate artifacts

我觉得我的问题是自己做的时候思路不是很清楚。 我现在有上十月份的机经班，然后我在跟着老师分析的时候我就是比较清楚，然后正确率就比我平时自己做的时候高很多。 我平时做prep之后也会听自主答疑，然后找问题的思路，但是对自己没有很深入。我要怎样才能就是让思路变得更清晰一点呢？ 因为我是大四在读学生，平时除去上课时间，晚上有时间还有平时抽出来的时间可以复习GMAT. 然后我还有一个月就考试了，然后我制定了一下计划，希望老师帮我改一下。 1. 再重新看一遍OG,着重看讲解，搞懂里面的语法讲解，总结出OG里面的语法知识和做题思路。用一个星期。 2. 每天练一篇OG的阅读精读和作文。 3. 第二个星期专项练习 CR, RC,SR,PS,DS. 4. 第三个星期做PREP和GWD， 然后做专项分析。 5. 第四个星期做计时的全 GWD set，模考当天考试的情况，找出这个考试当时可能会出现的问题。

不懂这题的逻辑，求解！ Kernland imposes a high tariff on the export of unprocessed cashew nuts in order to ensure that the nuts are sold to domestic processing plants. If the tariff were lifted and unprocessed cashews were sold at world market prices, more farmers could profit by growing cashews. However, since all the processing plants are in urban areas, removing the tariff would seriously hamper the government’s effort to reduce urban unemployment over the next five years. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? A. Some of the by-products of processing cashews are used for manufacturing paints and plastics. B. Other countries in which cashews are processed subsidize their processing plants C. More people in Kernland are engaged in farming cashews than in processing them. D. Buying unprocessed cashews at lower than world market prices enables cashew processors in Kernland to sell processed nuts at competitive prices. E. A lack of profitable crops is driving an increasing number of small farmers in Kernland off their land and into the cities.

Since February, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target five times, and (because of the economy's continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will) be raised again in Novermner.

When people engage in activities that help others, their brain releases endorphins, the brain’s natural opiates, which induce in people a feeling of well-being. It has been suggested that regular release of endorphins increases people’s longevity. And a statistic on adults who regularly engage in volunteer work helping others shows that they live longer, on average, than adults who do not volunteer. However, that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not boost longevity, because___________ Which of the following most logically completes the argument? A In the communities studied, women were much more likely to do regular volunteer work than men were, and women tend to live longer than men do B The number of young adults who do regular volunteer work is on the increase C The feelings of well-being induced by endorphins can, at least for a time, mask the symptoms of various conditions and diseases, provided the symptoms are mild D It is rare for a person to keep up a regular schedule of volunteer work throughout his or her life E Some people find that keeping a commitment to do regular volunteer work becomes a source of stress in their lives 错选了C，答案给的A。A说女士比男士更可能做志愿活动，女士比男士活得长。这不是支持原文了么？可以题目不是应该驳斥吗？
