题目:

 The news media is often accused of being willing to do anything for ratings. However, recent action by a television network indicates that the news media is sometimes guided by moral principle. This network had discovered through polling voters on the east coast that the Republican candidate for President had garnered enough votes to ensure victory before the polls closed on the west coast. However, the network withheld this information until the polls on the west coast closed so that the information would not affect the outcome of key congressional races.
Which one of the following most strengthens the argument? 

选项:

A、The network had endorsed the Republican candidate for President.
B、The network expected its ratings to increase if it predicted the winner of the presidential race, and to decrease if did not predict the winner.
C、A rival network did predict a winner of the presidential race before the polls on the west coast closed.
D、The network believed that it would receive higher ratings by not predicting the winner of the presidential race.
E、The network feared that predicting the winner of the presidential race could so anger Congress that it might enact legislation preventing all future polling outside of voting centers.

文章:

Line         Two works published in 1984 demonstrate
  contrasting approaches to writing the history of
  United States women. Buel and Buel’s biography
  of Mary Fish (1736–1818) makes little effort to
(5) place her story in the context of recent
  historiography on women. Lebsock, meanwhile,
  attempts not only to write the history of women in
  one southern community, but also to redirect two
  decades of historiographical debate as to
(10) whether women gained or lost status in the
  nineteenth century as compared with the
  eighteenth century. Although both books offer the
  reader the opportunity to assess this controversy
  regarding women’s status, only Lebsock’s deals with
(15) it directly. She examines several different aspects
  of women’s status, helping to refine and resolve the
  issues. She concludes that while
  women gained autonomy in some areas,
  especially in the private sphere, they lost it in
(20) many aspects of the economic sphere. More
  importantly, she shows that the debate itself
  depends on frame of reference: in many respects,
  women lost power in relation to men, for example,
  as certain jobs (delivering babies, supervising
(25) schools) were taken over by men. Yet women also
  gained power in comparison with their previous
  status, owning a higher proportion of real estate,
  for example. In contrast, Buel and Buel’s
  biography provides ample raw material for
(30) questioning the myth, fostered by some
  historians, of a colonial golden age in the
  eighteenth century but does not give the reader
  much guidance in analyzing the controversy over
  women’s status.


题目:

According to the passage, Lebsock’s work differs from Buel and Buel’s work in that Lebsock’s work

选项:

A、uses a large number of primary sources
B、ignores issues of women’s legal status
C、refuses to take a position on women’s status in the eighteenth century
D、addresses larger historiographical issues
E、fails to provide sufficient material to support its claims

题目:

In countries in which new life-sustaining drugs cannot be patented, such drugs are sold at widely affordable prices; those same drugs, where patented, command premium prices because the patents shield patent-holding manufacturers from competitors.  These facts show that future access to new life-sustaining drugs can be improved if the practice of granting patents on newly developed life-sustaining drugs were to be abolished everywhere.
 
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

选项:

A、In countries in which life-sustaining drugs cannot be patented, their manufacture is nevertheless a profitable enterprise.
B、Countries that do not currently grant patents on life-sustaining drugs are, for the most part, countries with large populations.
C、In some countries specific processes for the manufacture of pharmaceutical drugs can be patented even in cases in which the drugs themselves cannot be patented.
D、Pharmaceutical companies can afford the research that goes into the development of new drugs only if patents allow them to earn high profits.
E、Countries that grant patents on life-sustaining drugs almost always ban their importation from countries that do not grant such patents.

文章:

When there is less rainfall than normal, the water level of Australian rivers falls and the rivers fl ow more slowly. Because algae whose habitat is river water grow best in slow-moving water, the amount of algae per unit of water generally increases when there has been little rain. By contrast, however, following a period of extreme drought, algae levels are low even in very slow-moving river water.

题目:

Which of the following, if true, does most to explain the contrast described above?

选项:

A、During periods of extreme drought, the populations of some of the species that feed on algae tend to fall. The more slowly water moves, the more conducive its temperature is to the growth of algae
B、When algae populations reach very high levels, conditions within the river can become toxic for some of the other species that normally live there. 
C、Australian rivers dry up completely for short intervals in periods of extreme drought
D、Except during periods of extreme drought, algae levels tend to be higher in rivers in which the fl ow has been controlled by damming than in rivers that fl ow freely.

Art historian: Unlike many artistic traditions that sought to depict plants native to the local area in a seasonally appropriate way (for example, depicting scenes of spring with the plants in the appropriate stages of development for that season), seventeenth-century Dutch artists specializing in flower paintings almost exclusively chose to depict exotic species of flowers from outside the local area. Painting such species was worthwhile primarily because the art-buying public had developed a strong preference for images of the exotic. The great botanical centers of the time gave the artists direct access to such flowers, which the artists would freely combine in a single painting, regardless of whether the combined species occurred together in the wild, and depicted each in full bloom, regardless of whether those species bloomed at the same time in nature.

Statement: The art historian makes the point that the species of flowers these Dutch artists chose to paint were 1 largely because the species were 2 .

Select for 1 and for 2 the options that complete the statement so that it is most strongly supported by the information provided. Make only two selections, one in each column.

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.

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