题目：

In an experiment, each volunteer was allowed to choose between an easy task and a hard task and was told that another volunteer would do the other task. Each volunteer could also choose to have a computer assign the two tasks randomly. Most volunteers chose the easy task for themselves and under questioning later said they had acted fairly. But when the scenario was described to another group of volunteers, almost all said choosing the easy task would be unfair. This shows that most people apply weaker moral standards to themselves than to others.

Which of the following is an assumption required by this argument?

选项:

A、At least some volunteers who said they had acted fairly in choosing the easy task would have said that it was unfair for someone else to do so.
B、The most moral choice for the volunteers would have been to have the computer assign the two tasks randomly.
C、There were at least some volunteers who were assigned to do the hard task and felt that the assignment was unfair.
D、On average, the volunteers to whom the scenario was described were more accurate in their moral judgments than the other volunteers were.
E、At least some volunteers given the choice between assigning the tasks themselves and having the computer assign them felt that they had made the only fair choice available to them.

题目：

In 1992 outlaw fishing boats began illegally harvesting lobsters from the territorial waters of the country of Belukia.  Soon after, the annual tonnage of lobster legally harvested in Belukian waters began declining; in 1996, despite there being no reduction in the level of legal lobster fishing activity, the local catch was 9,000 tons below pre-1992 levels.  It is therefore highly likely that the outlaw fishing boats harvested about 9,000 tons of lobster illegally that year.
 
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

选项:

A、The illegal lobster harvesting was not so extensive that the population of catchable lobsters in Belukia's territorial waters had sharply declined by 1996.
B、The average annual lobster catch, in tons, of an outlaw fishing boat has increased steadily since 1992.
C、Outlaw fishing boats do not, as a group, harvest more lobsters than do licensed lobster-fishing boats.
D、The annual legal lobster harvest in Belukia in 1996 was not significantly less than 9,000 tons.
E、A significant proportion of Belukia's operators of licensed lobster-fishing boats went out of business between 1992 and 1996.

Which of the following, if true, most logically completes the passage?
 
A recent poll found that over 80 percent of the residents of Nalmed Province favored a massive expansion of the commuter rail system as a means of significantly easing congestion on the province's highways and were willing to help pay for the expansion through an increase in their taxes.  Nevertheless, the poll results indicate that expansion of the rail system, if successfully completed, would be unlikely to achieve its goal of easing congestion, because _______.

选项:

A、most people in favor of expanding the rail system reported less congestion during their highway commute as the primary benefit they would experience
B、of the less than 20 percent of residents not counted as favoring the expansion, about half claimed to have no opinion one way or the other
C、the twice-daily periods of peak congestion caused by people commuting in cars have grown from about an hour each to almost two and a half hours each in the past 20 years
D、expanding the commuter rail system will require the construction of dozens of miles of new railbed
E、the proposed expansion to the commuter rail system will make it possible for some people who both live and work at suburban locations to commute by rail

题目：

Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

The irradiation of food kills bacteria and thus retards spoilage. However, it also lowers the nutritional value of many foods. For example, irradiation destroys a significant percentage of whatever vitamin B1 a food may contain. Proponents of irradiation point out that irradiation is no worse in this respect than cooking. However, this fact is either beside the point, since much irradiated food is eaten raw, or else misleading, since ______________.

选项:

A、many of the proponents of irradiation are food distributors who gain from foods’ having a longer shelf life
B、it is clear that killing bacteria that may be present on food is not the only effect that irradiation has
C、cooking is usually the final step in preparing food for consumption, whereas irradiation serves to ensure a longer shelf life for perishable foods
D、certain kinds of cooking are, in fact, even more destructive of vitamin B1 than carefully controlled irradiation is
E、for food that is both irradiated and cooked, the reduction of vitamin B1 associated with either process individually is compounded

题目：

As a large corporation in a small country, Hachnut wants its managers to have international experience, so each year it sponsors management education abroad for its management trainees.  Hachnut has found, however, that the attrition rate of graduates from this program is very high, with many of them leaving Hachnut to join competing firms soon after completing the program.  Hachnut does use performance during the program as a criterion in deciding among candidates for management positions, but both this function and the goal of providing international experience could be achieved in other ways.  Therefore, if the attrition problem cannot be successfully addressed, Hachnut should discontinue the sponsorship program.

题目：

Manatees, aquatic mammals inhabiting Florida's rivers and coastal waters, swim close to the surface and are frequently killed in collisions with boats.  To address the problem, boat traffic in manatee-populated waters is being required to maintain very low speeds.  Unfortunately, manatees are unable to hear low-pitched sounds and a boat's sound lowers in pitch as the boat slows.  Therefore, this approach may in fact make things worse rather than better.
 
Which of the following, if true, casts most doubt on the conclusion?

选项:

A、The areas where boats would have to maintain low speeds were decided partly on the basis of manatee-population estimates and partly from numbers of reported collisions between manatees and boats.
B、Because the water hyacinth that manatees feed on grows best in water that is nearly still, water hyacinth beds can be disturbed or damaged by fast-moving boat traffic.
C、Over the last several decades, boat traffic in Florida's coastal waters has been increasing almost continuously and now represents the greatest threat to the endangered manatee population.
D、The sound of a boat engine generally travels much further under water than it does through the air.
E、When experimenters exposed manatees to the recorded sounds of boats moving at various speeds, the creatures were unable to discern the sounds over normal background noise.

E

Tiger beetles are such fast runners that they can capture virtually any nonflying insect.  However, when running toward an insect, the beetles intermittently stop, and then, a moment later, resume their attack.  Perhaps they cannot maintain their pace and must pause for a moment's rest; but an alternative hypothesis is that while running tiger beetles are unable to process the resulting rapidly changing visual information, and so quickly go blind and stop.

A photography dealer ordered 60 Model X cameras to be sold for $250 each, which represents a 20 percent markup over the dealer's initial cost for each camera.

What was the dealer's approximate profit or loss as a percent of the dealer's initial cost for the 60 cameras?
