文章:

Comparable worth, as a standard applied to eliminate inequities in pay, insists that the values of certain tasks performed in dissimilar jobs can be compared.  In the last decade, this approach has become a critical social policy issue, as large numbers of private-sector firms and industries as well as federal, state, and local governmental entities have adopted comparable worth policies or begun to consider doing so.
 
This widespread institutional awareness of comparable worth indicates increased public awareness that pay inequities--that is, situations in which pay is not "fair" because it does not reflect the true value of a job--exist in the labor market.  However, the question still remains:  have the gains already made in pay equity under comparable worth principles been of a precedent-setting nature or are they mostly transitory, a function of concessions made by employers to mislead female employees into believing that they have made long-term pay equity gains?
 
Comparable worth pay adjustments are indeed precedent-setting.  Because of the principles driving them, other mandates that can be applied to reduce or eliminate unjustified pay gaps between male and female workers have not remedied perceived pay inequities satisfactorily for the litigants in cases in which men and women hold different jobs.  But whenever comparable worth principles are applied to pay schedules, perceived unjustified pay differences are eliminated.  In this sense, then, comparable worth is more comprehensive than other mandates, such as the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Neither compares tasks in dissimilar jobs (that is, jobs across occupational categories) in an effort to determine whether or not what is necessary to perform these tasks--know-how, problem-solving, and accountability--can be quantified in terms of its dollar value to the employer.  Comparable worth, on the other hand, takes as its premise that certain tasks in dissimilar jobs may require a similar amount of training, effort, and skill; may carry similar responsibility; may be carried on in an environment having a similar impact upon the worker; and may have a similar dollar value to the employer.

题目:

According to the passage, which of the following is true of comparable worth as a policy?

选项:

A、Comparable worth policy decisions in pay-inequity cases have often failed to satisfy the complainants.
B、Comparable worth policies have been applied to both public-sector and private-sector employee pay schedules.
C、Comparable worth as a policy has come to be widely criticized in the past decade.
D、Many employers have considered comparable worth as a policy but very few have actually adopted it.
E、Early implementations of comparable worth policies resulted in only transitory gains in pay equity.

题目:

Most banks that issue credit cards charge interest rates on credit card debt that are ten percentage points higher than the rates those banks charge for ordinary consumer loans. These banks’ representatives claim the difference is fully justified, since it simply covers the difference between the costs to these banks associated with credit card debt and those associated with consumer loans.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the reasoning offered by the banks’ representatives?

选项:

A、Some lenders that are not banks offer consumer loans at interest rates that are even higher than most banks charge on credit card debt.
B、Most car rental companies require that their customers provide signed credit card charge slips or security deposits.
C、Two to three percent of the selling price of every item bought with a given credit card goes to the bank that issued that credit card.
D、Most people need not use credit cards to buy everyday necessities, but could buy those necessities with cash or pay by check.
E、People who pay their credit card bills in full each month usually pay no interest on the amounts they charge.

文章:

Because of steep increases in the average price per box of cereal over the last 10 years, overall sales of cereal have recently begun to drop. In an attempt to improve sales, one major cereal manufacturer reduced the wholesale prices of its cereals by 20 percent. Since most other cereal manufacturers have announced that they will follow suit, it is likely that the level of overall sales of cereal will rise significantly.

题目:

Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in evaluating the argument?

选项:

A、Whether the high marketing expenses of the highly competitive cereal market led to the increase in cereal prices Whether cereal manufacturers use marketing techniques that encourage brand loyalty among consumers
B、Whether the variety of cereals available on the market has significantly increased over the last 10 years 
C、Whether the prices that supermarkets charge for these cereals will reflect the lower prices the supermarkets will be paying the manufacturers
D、Whether the sales of certain types of cereal have declined disproportionately over the last 10 years

题目:

Sammy: For my arthritis, I am going to try my aunt's diet: large amounts of wheat germ and garlic. She was able to move more easily right after she started that diet.

Pat: When my brother began that diet, his arthritis got worse. But he has been doing much better since he stopped eating vegetables in the nightshade family, such as tomatoes and peppers.

Which of the following, if true, would provide a basis for explaining the fact that Sammy's aunt and Pat's brother had contrasting experiences with the same diet?

选项:

A、A change in diet, regardless of the nature of the change, frequently brings temporary relief from arthritis symptoms.
B、The compounds in garlic that can lessen the symptoms of arthritis are also present in tomatoes and peppers.
C、Arthritis is a chronic condition whose symptoms improve and worsen from time to time without regard to diet.
D、In general, men are more likely to have their arthritis symptoms alleviated by avoiding vegetables in the nightshade family than are women.
E、People who are closely related are more likely to experience the same result from adopting a particular diet than are people who are unrelated.

文章:

Line Determining whether a given population of animals
constitutes a distinct species can be difficult
because no single accepted definition of the term
exists. One approach, called the biological species
(5) concept, bases the definition on reproductive
compatibility. According to this view, a species
is a group of animals that can mate with one
another to produce fertile offspring but cannot
mate successfully with members of a different
(10) group. Yet this idea can be too restrictive. First,
mating between groups labeled as different species
(hybridization), as often occurs in the canine family,
is quite common in nature. Second, sometimes
the differences between two populations might not
(15) prevent them from interbreeding, even though they
are dissimilar in traits unrelated to reproduction;
some biologists question whether such disparate
groups should be considered a single species. A
third problem with the biological species concept is
(20) that investigators cannot always determine whether
two groups that live in different places are capable
of interbreeding.
When the biological species concept is difficult
to apply, some investigators use phenotype, an
(25) organism’s observable characteristics, instead.
Two groups that have evolved separately are likely
to display measurable differences in many of their
traits, such as skull size or width of teeth. If the
distribution of measurements from one group does
(30) not overlap with those of another, the two groups
might reasonably be considered distinct species.

题目:

Which of the following best describes the function of lines 10–13

选项:

A、It elaborates the definition of the biological species concept given in a previous sentence.
B、It develops a point about the biological species concept made in the previous sentence.
C、It states the author’s central point about the biological species concept.
D、It identifies a central assumption underlying the biological species concept.
E、It demonstrates why the biological species concept is invalid.

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.
