题目：

Outsourcing is the practice of obtaining from an independent supplier a product or service that a company has previously provided for itself. Since a company's chief objective is to realize the highest possible year-end profits, any product or service that can be obtained from an independent supplier for less than it would cost the company to provide the product or service on its own should be outsourced.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

选项:

A、If a company decides to use independent suppliers for a product, it can generally exploit the vigorous competition arising among several firms that are interested in supplying that product.
B、Successful outsourcing requires a company to provide its suppliers with information about its products and plans that can fall into the hands of its competitors and give them a business advantage.
C、Certain tasks, such as processing a company's payroll, are commonly outsourced, whereas others, such as handling the company's core business, are not.
D、For a company to provide a product or service for itself as efficiently as an independent supplier can provide it, the managers involved need to be as expert in the area of that product or service as the people in charge of that product or service at an independent supplier are.
E、When a company decides to use an independent supplier for a product or service, the independent supplier sometimes hires members of the company's staff who formerly made the product or provided the service that the independent supplier now supplies.

题目：

It is illegal to advertise prescription medications in Hedland except directly to physicians, either by mail or in medical journals.  A proposed law would allow general advertising of prescription medications.  Opponents object that the general population lacks the specialized knowledge to evaluate such advertisements and might ask their physicians for inappropriate medications.  But since physicians have the final say as to whether to prescribe a medication for a patient, inappropriate prescriptions would not become more common.
Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the argument?

选项:

A、Whether advertising for prescription medications might alert patients to the existence of effective treatments for minor ailments that they had previously thought to be untreatable
B、Whether some people might go to a physician for no reason other than to ask for a particular medication they have seen advertised
C、Whether the proposed law requires prescription-medication advertisements directed to the general public to provide the same information as do advertisements directed to physicians
D、Whether advertisements for prescription medications are currently an important source of information about newly available medications for physicians
E、Whether physicians would give in to a patient's demand for a prescription medication chosen by the patient when the one originally prescribed by the physician fails to perform as desired

E

文章：

Line         Because the framers of the United States
  Constitution (written in 1787) believed that protecting
  property rights relating to inventions would encourage
  the new nation’s economic growth, they gave
(5) Congress—the national legislature—a constitutional
  mandate to grant patents for inventions. The resulting
  patent system has served as a model for those in
  other nations. Recently, however, scholars have
  questioned whether the American system helped
(10) achieve the framers’ goals. These scholars have
  contended that from 1794 to roughly 1830, American
  inventors were unable to enforce property rights
  because judges were “antipatent” and routinely
  invalidated patents for arbitrary reasons. This
(15) argument is based partly on examination of court
  decisions in cases where patent holders (“patentees”)
  brought suit alleging infringement of their patent
  rights. In the 1820s, for instance, 75 percent
  of verdicts were decided against the patentee.
(20) The proportion of verdicts for the patentee began to
  increase in the 1830s, suggesting to these scholars
  that judicial attitudes toward patent rights began
  shifting then.
       Not all patent disputes in the early nineteenth
(25) century were litigated, however, and litigated
  cases were not drawn randomly from the
  population of disputes. Therefore the rate of
  verdicts in favor of patentees cannot be used
  by itself to gauge changes in judicial attitudes
(30) or enforceability of patent rights. If early judicial
  decisions were prejudiced against patentees, one
  might expect that subsequent courts—allegedly
  more supportive of patent rights—would reject
  the former legal precedents. But pre-1830
(35) cases have been cited as frequently as later
  decisions, and they continue to be cited today,
  suggesting that the early decisions, many of
  which clearly declared that patent rights were
  a just recompense for inventive ingenuity,
(40) provided a lasting foundation for patent law.
  The proportion of judicial decisions in favor of
  patentees began to increase during the 1830s
  because of a change in the underlying population
  of cases brought to trial. This change was partly
(45) due to an 1836 revision to the patent system:
  an examination procedure, still in use today, was
  instituted in which each application is scrutinized
  for its adherence to patent law. Previously,
  patents were automatically granted upon payment
(50) of a $30 fee.


题目：

The author of the passage cites which of the following as evidence challenging the argument referred to in lines 14–15 ?

选项:

A、The proportion of cases that were decided against patentees in the 1820s
B、The total number of patent disputes that were litigated from 1794 to 1830
C、The fact that later courts drew upon the legal precedents set in pre-1830 patent cases
D、The fact that the proportion of judicial decisions in favor of patentees began to increase during the 1830s
E、The constitutional rationale for the 1836 revision of the patent system

题目：

Ferber's syndrome, a viral disease that frequently affects cattle, is transmitted to these animals through infected feed. Even though chickens commercially raised for meat are often fed the type of feed identified as the source of infection in cattle, Ferber's syndrome is only rarely observed in chickens. This fact, however, does not indicate that most chickens are immune to the virus that causes Ferber's syndrome, since ______________.

选项:

A、chickens and cattle are not the only kinds of farm animal that are typically fed the type of feed liable to be contaminated with the virus that causes Ferber's syndrome
B、Ferber's syndrome has been found in animals that have not been fed the type of feed liable to be contaminated with the virus that can cause the disease
C、resistance to some infectious organisms such as the virus that causes Ferber's syndrome can be acquired by exposure to a closely related infectious organism
D、chickens and cattle take more than a year to show symptoms of Ferber's syndrome, and chickens commercially raised for meat, unlike cattle, are generally brought to market during the first year of life
E、the type of feed liable to be infected with the virus that causes Ferber's syndrome generally constitutes a larger proportion of the diet of commercially raised chickens than of commercially raised cattle

文章：

The pharmaceutical industry argues that because new drugs will not be developed unless heavy development costs can be recouped in later sales, the current 20 years of protection provided by patents should be extended in the case of newly developed drugs. However, in other industries new-product development continues despite high development costs, a fact that indicates that the extension is unnecessary.

题目：

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the pharmaceutical industry’s argument against the challenge made above?

选项:

A、No industries other than the pharmaceutical industry have asked for an extension of the 20-year limit on patent protection.Clinical trials of new drugs, which occur after the patent is granted and before the new drug can be marketed, often now take as long as 10 years to complete
B、There are several industries in which the ratio of research and development costs to revenues is higher than it is in the pharmaceutical industry.
C、An existing patent for a drug does not legally prevent pharmaceutical companies from bringing to market alternative drugs, provided they are sufficiently dissimilar to the patented drug
D、Much recent industrial innovation has occurred in products—for example, in the computer and electronics industries—for which patent protection is often very ineffective.

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.
 
Which of the following, if discovered in experiments using artificially moved prey insects, would support one of the two hypotheses and undermine the other?
