题目：

A major chemical spill occurred five years ago at Baker's Beach, the world's sole nesting ground for Merrick sea turtles, and prevented nearly all the eggs laid that year from hatching.  Yet the number of adult female Merricks returning to lay their eggs at Baker's Beach has actually increased somewhat since five years ago.  Clearly, environmentalists' prediction that the world's Merrick population would decline as a result of the spill has proven unfounded.
 
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument offered in refutation of the environmentalists' prediction?

选项:

A、The chemical spill five years ago occurred at a time when there were neither Merrick sea turtles nor Merrick sea turtle eggs on Baker's Beach.
B、Female Merrick sea turtles begin returning to Baker's Beach to lay their eggs when they are ten years old.
C、Under normal conditions, only a small proportion of hatchling female Merrick sea turtles survive in the ocean until adulthood and return to lay their eggs at Baker's Beach.
D、Environmental pressures unrelated to the chemical spill have caused a significant decline in the population of one of the several species of sea birds that prey on Merrick sea turtle eggs.
E、After the chemical spill, an environmental group rejected a proposal to increase the Merrick sea turtle population by transferring eggs from Baker's Beach to nearby beaches that had not been affected by the spill.

题目：

Industrial accidents are more common when some of the people in safety-sensitive jobs have drinking problems than when none do.  Since, even after treatment, people who have had drinking problems are somewhat more likely than other people to have drinking problems in the future, any employer trying to reduce the risk of accidents should bar anyone who has ever been treated for a drinking problem from holding a safety-sensitive job.
 
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument above?

选项:

A、Some companies place employees who are being treated for drinking problems in residential programs and allow them several weeks of paid sick leave.
B、Many accidents in the workplace are the result of errors by employees who do not hold safety-sensitive jobs.
C、Workers who would permanently lose their jobs if they sought treatment for a drinking problem try instead to conceal their problem and continue working for as long as possible.
D、People who hold safety-sensitive jobs are subject to stresses that can exacerbate any personal problems they may have, including drinking problems.
E、Some industrial accidents are caused by equipment failure rather than by employee error.

C

题目：

Editorial:  The roof of Northtown Council's equipment-storage building collapsed under the weight of last week's heavy snowfall.  The building was constructed recently and met local building-safety codes in every particular, except that the nails used for attaching roof supports to the building's columns were of a smaller size than the codes specify for this purpose.  Clearly, this collapse exemplifies how even a single, apparently insignificant, departure from safety standards can have severe consequences.
 
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the editorial's argument?

选项:

A、The only other buildings whose roofs collapsed from the weight of the snowfall were older buildings constructed according to less exacting standards than those in the safety codes.
B、Because of the particular location of the equipment-storage building, the weight of snow on its roof was greater than the maximum weight allowed for in the safety codes.
C、Because the equipment-storage building was not intended for human occupation, some safety-code provisions that would have applied to an office building did not apply to it.
D、The columns of the building were no stronger than the building-safety codes required for such a building.
E、Because the equipment-storage building was where the council kept snow-removal equipment, the building was almost completely empty when the roof collapsed.

A

文章：

Line         Historians remain divided over the role of
  banks in facilitating economic growth in the
  United States in the late eighteenth and early
  nineteenth centuries. Some scholars contend
(5) that banks played a minor role in the nation’s
  growing economy. Financial institutions, they
  argue, appeared only after the economy had
  begun to develop, and once organized, followed
  conservative lending practices, providing aid to
(10) established commercial enterprises but
  shunning those, such as manufacturing and
  transportation projects, that were more
  uncertain and capital-intensive (i.e., requiring
  greater expenditures in the form of capital than in
(15) labor).
       A growing number of historians argue, in
  contrast, that banks were crucial in transforming
  the early national economy. When state
  legislatures began granting more bank charters
(20) in the 1790s and early 1800s, the supply of
  credit rose accordingly. Unlike the earliest banks,
  which had primarily provided short-term loans to
  well-connected merchants, the banks of the early
  nineteenth century issued credit widely. As Paul
(25) Gilje asserts, the expansion and democratization
  of credit in the early nineteenth century became
  the driving force of the American economy, as
  banks began furnishing large amounts of capital
  to transportation and industrial enterprises. The
(30) exception, such historians argue, was in the
  South; here, the overwhelmingly agrarian nature
  of the economy generated outright opposition
  to banks, which were seen as monopolistic
  institutions controlled by an elite group of
(35) planters.


题目：

Which of the following statements best describes the function of the last sentence of the passage?

选项:

A、It provides evidence tending to undermine the viewpoint of the scholars mentioned in line 5.
B、It resolves a conflict over the role of banks summarized in the first paragraph.
C、It clarifies some of the reasons state legislatures began granting more bank charters.
D、It qualifies a claim made earlier in the passage about the impact of banks on the American economy in the early nineteenth century.
E、It supports a claim made earlier in the passage about how the expansion of credit affected the economy.

D

题目：

A major impediment to wide acceptance of electric vehicles even on the part of people who use their cars almost exclusively for commuting is the inability to use electric vehicles for occasional extended trips. In an attempt to make purchasing electric vehicles more attractive to commuters, one electric vehicle producer is planning to offer customers three days free rental of a conventional car for every 1,000 miles that they drive their electric vehicle.
Which of the following, if true, most threatens the plan's prospects for success?

选项:

A、Many electric vehicles that are used for commercial purposes are not needed for extended trips.
B、Because a majority of commuters drive at least 100 miles a week, the cost to the producer of making good the offer would add considerably to the already high price of electric vehicles. 
C、The relatively long time it takes to recharge the battery of an electric vehicle can easily be fitted into the regular patterns of car use characteristic of commuters. 
D、Although electric vehicles are essentially emission-free in actual use, generating the electricity necessary for charging an electric vehicle's battery can burden the environment. 
E、Some family vehicles are used primarily not for commuting but for making short local trips, such as to do err ands.

An unusually severe winter occurred in Europe after the continent was blanketed by a blue haze resulting from the eruption of the Laki Volcano in the European republic of Iceland in the summer of 1984.  Thus, it is evident that major eruptions cause the atmosphere to become cooler than it would be otherwise.

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?

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. Of the cameras ordered, 6 were never sold and were returned to the manufacturer for a refund of 50 percent of the dealer's initial cost. What was the dealer's approximate profit or loss as a percent of the dealer's initial cost for the 60 cameras?
