MR. MOHAMED MANSOUR MR. AMR MUSTAFA 2020-03-U.S. reading Passage 1 ta fa 1. B The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the author what he meant by using the term "an in the circle" when talking about Jess's family standing in a circle. us A) The family lost their way after just completing a very difficult journey. Error, the article does not express the meaning of a family after a hard trip are very tired. rM B) The family was a little anxious and hesitant about interacting. ( A m That's right, because the family is worried about whether the little girl will get along with her grandfather the first time she sees her grandfather, and the other is that family members from Nigeria and the United Kingdom don't know each other very well and are a little hesitant about interacting with each other. In this option self-conscious It means "being upset because you care what other people think of themselves."” nervous or uncomfortable because you are worried about r. what people think about you or your actions)。 M Example.:He looked uncomfortable, like a self-conscious adolescent. He looked uncomfortable, like a restless teenager. Tentative means "tentative, hesitant" (done without confidence; hesitant) Example.:He eventually tried a few tentative steps round his hospital room. He finally took a tentative few steps around the ward. C) openly suspicious of each other's motives. This means that the family is suspicious of each other, obviously wrong. D) Rely on each other to dispel doubts. The article does not say that family members need to rely on each other, but rather that family members from Nigeria and the UK do not know each other well until they need other family members to give them. So D is wrong. us ta fa 2. D Details. Which factor, I ask, was decisive in Jess's reaction to meeting his grandfather? The evidence, in lines 3 to 6, shows that when Jess's mother previously described his grandfather to Jess, the grandfather's image was not a mellow person, and it was possible that the child was shout. Mellow means "soft; gentle"(smooth and soft,or not too sharp, bright,new, or rough). Jess was therefore more afraid of meeting his grandfather. Her reaction was influenced by what her mother had said to her before. So choose D. Because the grandfather's actual image is Mellower and Smaller's, the intimidating error of option A. rM 3. B The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. A m 4. D Details. Ask the article about some of Jess's father's actions. According to lines 51 to 57 of the article, Jess's father took the initiative to throw Jess into her grandfather's arms and went upstairs on his own, in order to give Jess and Grandpa a chance to be alone, so he chose D. r. 5. D When Jess was asked what her first reaction was when her grandfather called her "Wuraola"? M A) She hated the fact that people on her Nigerian side insisted on using the name "Wuraola". B) She remembered the name, but doesn't remember its exact meaning. C) She was frightened that her grandfather remembered the name. D) She knew it was its name, but couldn't admit it. According to lines 21 to 26, Jess knows the name, but doesn't know what to say or do. So select the D option. 6. A Separate proof-seeking questions. Which option does it suggest that Jess is familiar with some of the customs that her mother's family honors? On lines 22 to 25, Jess knew that the name Wuraola was her grandfather's letter asking her mother to give her the name of the Nigerian-style name-calling ceremony, indicating that Jess had some knowledge of the Nigerian-style name-calling ceremony. ta fa 7. B The subject of the rhetorical purpose. What is the purpose of the description of lines 32 to 37? A) Emphasize that Jess is mediting on some philosophy through a us natural scene. Philosophical meditation refers to thinking about the important problems such as man's own existence and the purpose of life. Jess is only a little familiar and unfamiliar with the name Wuraola, rather than philosophically thinking about his existence. So A is wrong. rM B) Suggests that Jess's physical situation is consistent with her A m emotional state. It is important to note here that the term "physical situation" in this option is that lines 34 to 35 "clothes stick to her like another layer of skin" and "emotional state" means that the name "Wuraola" on line 36 is like another person's name." Jess feels that the name Wuraola is like a layer of clothes that are too close to her skin, and she doesn't want to admit that the dress is already another layer of her skin, but it does stick very close, like skin. C) Describe jess's thoughts about her own Nigerian background r. through a nostalgic filter. The article doesn't show that Jess misses his hometown. So C is wrong. M D) Reveal Jess's acceptance of his new life by describing an ordinary event. This passage doesn't tell a story, nor does it reveal that Jess was so quick to embrace his new life. And, as can be seen from this description, don't say about the new life, even with the name Wuraola, she is still a little not used to. So D error. 8. C The subject of the rhetorical purpose. A few questions in lines 38 to 42 are mainly about how Jess is described. The 38The key words from line 42 are the identity(The.39),identity The definition in the dictionary is “the fact of being who or what a person or thing is”,Corresponds to the correct option C a new sense of who she is。 ta fa 9. A Details. Ask Jess what's the difference between meeting his grandfather for the second time and the first time? According to lines 49 to 57 of the article, Jess's mother and aunt left, and her father went upstairs, when there were no other family members around. Passage 2 rM us 10. C Vocabulary questions. Crisp retouched the lines of the shirt in thearticle, so it means"smoothly and attractively stiff" (paperor cloth), while sharp also has the meaning of (cloth or their wearer) smart and stylish, both meanings are similar. A m 11. B The main topic. Requires abstract generalization of the full text structure. Option A is wrong in the article not only about one experiment, but about two studies. Option C is wrong in not contrasting two examples, and in the end there is no revision. Option D is wrong in the article and does not mention criticism of the theory and rebuttal of criticism. M r. 12. D Infer the question. If another scientist claims that "body-action cognition" (where embody is difficult to translate, only translated into "body-moving" barely enough) theory doesn't apply when people think of abstract words like "peace" and "honesty". This means that when people think of "sitting on the couch", "frying pan" (the items that appeared in the first experiment), and "tetris" objects (a word that many dictionaries do not have, the actual meaning is that we play russian squares as children), they do rely on touch, smell and other physical actual feelings of the movement has always thought of these concepts, but when thinking of the words "peace", "honesty", you can not think of such concepts according to the actual feelings of the body's movements. Q. How would the author of this article respond to the scientist's claim? A m rM us ta fa Option A: The author would argue against the scientist, saying he didn't fully understand the theory of "body-acting cognition." The scientist's questioning is justified, and there is no evidence that the author would baselessly say that people's consideration of the theory of "body movement cognition" is incomplete. Option B: The author will insist that people think more of concrete objects and less of abstract concepts. (Such a statement is actually an escape from a positive response to the scientist's questioning.) There is no place in the article to suggest that the author thinks that "people don't think much about abstract concepts", so B is wrong. Option C: The authors suggest that the theory of "body-acting cognition" should be tested under different experimental conditions. The article does not mention that the author thinks that the experimental condition of the theory of "body action cognition" is too single, and needs to do several different experimental conditions. The single thing is that the objects used in the experiment are concrete things, not abstract concepts. So C is wrong. Option D: The author will (reluctantly) admit that the theory of "bodymoving cognition" does not really apply in all cases where one wants to do all kinds of things. Because the article mentioned two experiments, one is to take the "frying pan" to do experiments, the other is to take the "Russian block" object to do experiments, are actual objects, there is really no "abstract concept", so admit that the scientist raised a reasonable question, is the author's rational response. Option D is correct. M r. 13. C Details. According to the definition of the theory of "body-acting cognition" in lines 13 to 16, this theory refers to the pattern of activity in the brain that occurs when one thinks about something or recognizes an object, which is the pattern of activity of the brain responsible for the area of the touch or taste when one touches something and smells something. This simulation emits the same actions that make the body tactile and taste-like. So the key word for the C and C options is the last word "body". The word embody in "body action cognition" does not mean "embodiment"as we often say, but actually refers to the bodyizationof cognition (a spirit) with a physical form. Originally people think of a thing (cognitive a thing), it is reasonable to say that as long as you think about it, should not send out body movements, and "body movement cognition" that people think of a thing, the body will send a signal to touch this thing or smell this thing. Option A's powerful events, Option B's improve, are all not mentioned in the original text. Option D alone is not a problem, but it is not part of the "meltd cognition" theory asked by the topic. 14. B Vocabulary questions. The interest in line 21 meansimportance. 15. D Vocabulary questions. two places appeared classic The word means judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind,and D ta fa options long established and well regarded meaning close。 us 16. A Details. The evidence was in lines 35 to 40, and the scientists were not secretly concerned about the focus of the experiment they told the subjects, so the subjects didn't know what the real focus of the experiment was. rM 17. D The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. M r. A m 18. C Infer the question. The subjects who were likely to take part in Tucker and Ellis's experiments all wrote with their right hands, i.e. they were all right-handed, and asked if that was the case, could tucker and Ellis' conclusions be challenged? This is actually what we often call the "weakening question", that is, if something is true, can we weaken the conclusion? According to lines 49 to 53 of the article, being faster or more accurate with one hand than the other means that the person is left-handed or right-handed. The experiment changed all objects in the opposite direction, in order to exclude the possibility that people are left-handed or right-handed and affect the results of the experiment. 19. D The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 20. D Chart questions. A) Because the combination of left handle and left hand in the figure corresponds to 628.2, not the slowest. So A is wrong. B) Because the combination of right handle and right hand in the figure corresponds to 627.3, not the slowest. So B is wrong. C) Because the combination of the left-hand and right handle in the figure corresponds to 639.8, the combination of the right-hand and left handle corresponds to 639.8, which is not the fastest, so C error. D) Because the left-hand handle and right-hand handle and right handle in the figure are indeed the fastest, D is correct. Passage 3 rM us ta fa 21. C A comprehensive analysis of the picture. Ask a person who agrees with the theory of "body-acting cognition" to interpret the data in the table in this way? According to lines 44 to 47 of the article, when the handle on the frying pan was on the left, the responses wereing the left hand were were faster than those involving the right. If the handle of the frying pan was in the same direction as the subject's hand, the subjects would react more quickly. Conversely, if the handle of the frying pan and the hand used are in the opposite direction, the brain will react more slowly. So option C is correct. A m 22. B Analogy question. Ask which situation is similar to the "trade-off" mentioned in the article: frogs have to do a trade-off to grow faster and live in more dangerous environments. Note that here trade-off means a situation in which you accept accept bad in order to have good Example.:For some car buyers, lack of space is an acceptable trade- M r. off for a sporty design. For some car buyers, it is acceptable to design a sports car-style model with even a small space. So pick B, the deer for more resources (i.e., the interpretation of in order to have something good), rather than close to the predator (i.e., the definition of the accept something bad). 23. C Details. Ask some amphibians what good it is for them to dig holes in the mud. According to lines 14 to 17, digging holes, laying eggs in wood or holes, producing natural sunscreens in the body, and so on, are all for defend against UVB radiation, and digging holes is by limiting your exposure to the sun. So pick C. 24. D Details. Q Which of the following conclusions can be inferred from the research conducted at Fresh Alps? A) Altitude affects the growth and development of radon. According to the article, it is UVB that will affect the growth of radon. High altitude alone, no. So A is wrong. B) No matter how high the altitude, high-intensity exposure to UVB ta fa can have a fatal effect. According to lines 41 to 42 of the article, the effect of UVB in some cases is not lethal, but sublethal (slightly less lethal) or subtle (slightly harmful). So B is wrong. C) The concentration of DNA photolyase in the frogs studied (i.e., us those living in French Alps) was inherently higher. According to lines 57 and 70 to 74, the concentration of DNA photolyase in this frog is not relatively high and has not been confirmed. rM D) Different individuals of the same species of frog have different endurability to UVB exposure. According to lines 49 to 54 of the article, frogs that live at high altitudes receive less DNA damage than their species that live at lower altitudes. So C is right. A m 25. B The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. M r. 26. A Vocabulary questions. Experience means "experience, encounter (event, thing) " and encounter or event. Experience means "suffer; suffer; endure", experience or subjected to (something, typically something, pain, or arduous). The meaning of two words is close. 27. A Details. Q What would happen to the Pacific tree frog if further research proved that it was indeed the DNA in its body that protected people living at high altitudes from BAP? According to lines 64 to 70 of the article, BaP and UVB destroy DNA in the same way, and also by curling the DNA spiral to destroy the DNA. In the case of BaP injuries, Alps frogs living at high altitudes suffer less DNA damage than Alps frogs living at low altitudes. And because, according to lines 34 to 39 of the article, Pacific tree frogs (which have been shown to be the most concentrated frogs in the body for DNA photolyase) are the least afraid of UVBs. Because UVB and BaP destroy DNA in the same way, it can be inferred that since the Pacific tree frog is not afraid of UVB, then it is not afraid of BaP. So choose A. ta fa 28. D The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 29. C Vocabulary questions. confirm Means "confirm, confirm (believe, doubt, worry about things).)”,establish the truth or correctness of (something previously believed, suspected, or feared to be the case)。 us Verify means "proof; verify; confirm," make sure or demonstrate that (something) is true, accurate, or property. The two meanings are close. M r. A m rM 30. A Chart questions. A) Spawning in the place of no exposure only if the photolyase activity value is small and equal to 0.7. The word options are correct. B) All photolyase activity values greater than 3.5 are spawned at the place of high exposure. We see that Rana aurora in the table corresponds to a photolyase activity value of 6.1, greater than 3.5, but corresponding to avariable, not high exposure, so B is wrong. C) Only the photolyase activity value is greater than or equal to 7.5 to lay eggs in the variable exposure, we still see that the Rana aurora in the table corresponds to the photolyase activity value is 6.1, less than 7.5, but the corresponding is also the variable exposure, so C is wrong. D) All photolyase activity values greater than or equal to 1.0 are spawned at open water. We see that Rana aurora in the table corresponds to a photolyase activity value of 6.1, greater than 1.0, but corresponding to stem, not open water. Hyla cadaverina, too, has a photolyase activity value of 3.5, which is also greater than 1.0, but corresponds to the atached to debris near surface, not open super water. 31. C Chart questions. According to the chart, the frog species found to correspond to high exposure is Hyla regilla. 32. C A comprehensive analysis of the picture. Which of the information shown in Figure 2 does not match the researchers' comments about frog populations living in Fresh Alps? A) Frogs living at an altitude of 800 metres without UVB exposure suffer less DNA damage than frogs living at an altitude of 450 metres. Since the article does not mention the damage to frog DNA at different altitudes without UVB exposure, we cannot say that the information shown in the chart contradicts the article. B) Frogs living at an altitude of 410 metres without UVB exposure ta fa suffer less DNA damage than frogs living at 450 metres above sea level. Because the article mentions UVB exposure as one of the causes of DNA damage, frogs at the same altitude must be less damaged than UVB exposure. So it matches the article information. C) Frogs living at an altitude of 800 metres with UVB exposure suffer rM us more DNA damage than frogs living at 249 metres above sea level. According to lines 49 to 54 of the article, frogs that live at higher altitudes should suffer less DNA damage. So the chart doesn't match the article. This option is correct. D) Frogs living at an altitude of 450 metres with UVB exposure A m suffered more DNA damage than frogs living at an altitude of 2,450 metres without UVB exposure. Also according to lines 49 to 54 of the article, frogs that live at higher altitudes should suffer less DNA damage. So the 2450-meter frog suffered less DNA damage than the 450-meter frog, so the information for this option is consistent with the article. So this option is wrong. r. Passage 4 M 33. A The main topic. Ask how the veins of the full text are shifted. The first natural paragraph of the article (lines 1 to 14) is about the difficulties facing the United States, such as debt and national instability, and the second natural paragraph (lines 15 to 24) is about whether the United States can build a strengthened federation and government imagined by republican theorists and the American people. Starting with line 25, talk about the limitations of American political understanding, the transition to some of the consequences of a human weakness (i.e., people may re-opt for slavery by authoritarian governments, etc.). Matches option A. Note that the word repercussion in option A is difficult, it means"(especially unwelcome) consequences;impact", an unintended consequences of the event some time ”,after an event or action, especially an unwelcome one. 34. B The subject of the rhetorical purpose. What is the purpose of the article using the term "child just learning to walk"? A) The U.S. decision to pursue independence from the U.S. is childish and immature (note that juvenile means childish; immature). This is to say that the author thinks that the decision of American independence is wrong. This is clearly not true. ta fa B) Emphasize that Americans have no experience with their new rM us political stance. According to lines 9 to 14 of the article, American independence is a new kind of political position for Americans, Americans have encountered a lot of difficulties, so this new politic position is a difficult road, Americans do not know how to take the road, no experience. The key is to understand the word navigate, where the navigate is a and object verb, followed directly by the guest language, which means "(difficultly) walk by, through"make," one's way with difficulty over (a route or terrain). Example: The drivers skillfully navigated a twisting and muddy course The drivers skillfully struggled through the tortuous muddy road. C) It's naive to admit that Americans believe in an equal society. The A m article does not mention. D) The United States has criticized its attempts to isolate itself from the rest of the world. The article does not mention. r. 35. C Details. Ask Warren, the author of the article, to suggest that Americans doubt themselves after gaining independence.??? M A) Will it be forced to rejoin the UK to ensure future financial security? The article does not mention that Americans would propose such a quest. B) Whether you can return to your old job. The article does not mention that Americans would propose such a quest. C) Is it possible to create a political system that appeases all citizens? According to lines 16 to 24, the it was specify corresponds to the "Americans in the quest" in the header, how the states be tranquillized and most of the people of the United States correspond to the correct option C in the appeases all citizens D) Will other countries be grateful for accumulating huge debts? The article does not mention that Americans would propose such a quest. 36. B Details. Warren, the author of the question, contrasted Americans' knowledge of different academic fields with their insanity in what areas. knowledge of mankind. ta fa The evidence is at No29 to 30,yet many of them had but a superficial A m rM us 37. A Infer the question. Ask Warren, the author of the article, what do you think of the characteristics of Americans in the post-independence revolution? According to lines 33 to 35, the author argues that the American thought (suppose is a derogatory "think" that can be translated as "think") as long as it was enough to get rid of the British occupation and not to have a king in the United States (i.e., not to engage in the monarchy), and that nothing needed to be done. In fact, "breaking" is easy, "building" is difficult. The American idea is too naive. In fact, then to line 36 to line 44, the author continued to say they were not generally sly sly... They were not sly, you can see that the author is doing a negative evaluation, because C and D are positive reviews, can first be excluded, B'aimless and neglected is not explicitly mentioned in the article, so choose A. r. 38. C The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. M 39. D Details. Warren, the author of the question, claims that there is a historical model of governance that can be seen as a wake-up call to Americans about what happens to most successful governments. The evidence is in lines 36 through 39 of the article, and the fraud or violence corresponds to the treachery or setting in the correct option. 40. B Separate proof-seeking questions. Which sentence does it prove that after the war, Americans want a political system that doesn't demand much from them? The evidence is at No 48 to 52,their easy modes of subsistence,and their exemption from public burdens beyond the necessary demands The corresponding question is in the trunk a political system that did not require much of them。 41. A Vocabulary questions. ta fa secure means·“ to protect; “protect against threats; make safe , guarantee means “to promise that something will happen or exist” rM us 42. D Details. Ask Warren, the author of the article, in the last natural paragraph, what if he thinks that the appointment of a ruler is fraudulent? Evidence on lines 75 to 77, by their own consent corresponds to the compliance of the public in the correct option. Passage 5 A m 43. B The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask what is an important feature of the first natural segment? A) Some of the pre-assumptions influenced the theoretical r. assumptions put forward by Ripple and his colleagues. An important feature of the first natural segment is that the author wants to insist on how powerful and important these presets are. First, the inform in option A means "influence someone's attitude or opinion" to influence someone's attitude or opinion. M Example.:Her experience as a refugee informs the content of her latest novel. Second, Ripple and his colleagues put forward the theory that the re-addition of wolves, the chain reaction to the wolf-coyote-rabbit food chain, is achieved mainly through two mechanisms: First, the increase in wolves will reduce the number of coyotes, which is good for the coyotes. Second, the increase in wolves will make deer do not dare to bow their heads to eat grass, which will improve the living environment of rabbits, and thus the rabbit-eating slugs. Again, let's look at what the first paragraph is about. Changes in the number of animals (like wolves) at the top of the food chain ta fa affect the relationship between animals lower in the food chain, such as dragonflies and rabbits. The re-addition of wolves has a knock-on effect on the food chain of wolves-coyotes-rabbits, which may be beneficial to the protection of slugs. These two assumptions do influence Ripple's theory. But the first natural paragraph doesn't insist on how powerful or important the two subsumptions are. The first natural paragraph deals with the reality of the ecological environment in the two states bordering Canada and the United States (which Ripple and his colleagues are working on), and many wolves migrate south from Canada to Idaho and Washionton, where Washington has few rabbits and moths and more coyotes. So B is correct, A is wrong. In addition, the function of the first paragraph is not to talk about concepts, nor is it to compare the differences in animal habits. So C and D are wrong. us 44. A Vocabulary questions. Drive means to force someone or something Example. rM into a particular state,一 to use the meaning of the introduction。 : Recent events have driven A m the stock market to lows not seen in ten years. A series of recent events plunged the economy into a severe recession not seen in a decade. So choose case. 45. C Details. Ask Ripple and his colleagues what they think will happen to moose and deer in areas where wolves have returned? r. The evidence is at No 39to 44,keeping their heads up and spending M less time standing in one 对 spot with their heads down Corresponds to the correct option C graze for shorter periods。 46. C Separate proof-seeking questions. Which sentence in Article 2 supports the view that, in some places, the increase in wolves has an effect on the number of coyotes, and does not indicate that in all places, the increase in wolves has an effect on the number of coyotes. The evidence is at No 60 to 63,the inverse relationship…… is not supported outside the two national parks。 ta fa 47. D The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Q. What is the purpose of the second article about the mortality rate of coyotes in northwest Montana? First found the article refers to the 68th to 71st lines of the mortality, which says that coyotes are mainly killed by courgar, and coyotes feed mainly on wolves. The implication is that, at least in northwest Montana, the increase or decrease in the number of wolves will not actually have a significant impact on coyotes. So choose D. rM us 48. A The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask line 80 what it means to use the word shared? Shared food resources mean that some small animals are preyed upon by coyotes and dragonflies. Only in this case do coyotes and lynx form the relationship between the company (lines 77 to 78). M r. A m 49. A Two relationship questions. The second article challenges some aspects of the theory of the first article, such as the fact that coyotes may have rebounded, that the relationship between wolves and coyotes does not apply everywhere, and that coyotes and coyotes are not simply coyotes. So A is right. The second article did not question the authenticity of the data in the first article, so B was wrong. Nor is it argued that the assumptions put forward in the first article need to be corrected, so C is wrong. There was also no discussion of a study to test the theory (local) presented in the first article. The research mentioned in the second article was not done to test the theory of the first article, but rather to raise doubts and possibilities, rather than to talk about specific studies. So D error. 50. B Two relationship questions. Ask about wolves and coyotes, which one will both articles agree with? A) In the ecosystem, wolves and coyotes are generally at the same level (location) of the food chain. The first article clearly suggests that coyotes are at the next level of wolves. So the author of the first article wouldn't agree. So A is wrong. B) It is possible for wolves to have a chain reaction throughout the food chain by affecting coyotes. This is the central argument of the first article, and the first sentence of the second article (lines 48 to 52) endorses it, mainly the first line of correctly, expressing the author's positive attitude towards this argument. So B is right. C) In some cases, the presence of wolves can be beneficial to coyotes. The first article obviously thought that wolves eat coyotes, so the authors of the first article would not agree. So C is wrong. D) Wolves and coyotes have an ecological impact on large ta fa herbivores (deer, moose, etc.) (reducing deer) and behavioral effects (making deer less likely to bow their heads and eat grass). Coyotes have little effect on large herbivores because the article mentions that they feed on large herbivores and coyotes do not feed on large herbivores. So D error. A m rM us 51. D Two relationship questions. What about the second article's statement on lines 28 to 31 of the first article, "Because coyotes prey on coyotes, the increase in wolves leads to fewer coyotes, which will relieve the pressure on coyotes to prey on coyotes"? According to the 85 to 88 lines of the second article, the authors of the second article argue that "the mere discovery of a small cocoon being killed by a coyote does not prove the relationship between the food chain in which coyotes prey on the cocoon." "The idea is that the author thinks that we should see a large number of coyotes killed by coyotes in order to prove that coyotes in the upper level of the coyotes, coyotes and coyotes are one to eat another relationship. So choose D, there is only one objectation, it belongs to insufficient data. M r. 52. D The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 2020-03-U.S. writing . 1. B Express style. ACD's expression is not sufficiently normative or formal. Option A is available if you change to find, but generally you don't use for find. 2. C Its refers to this movement. ta fa 3. D Here's what people are migrating for a better life. rM us 4. D Add or subtract sentence questions. No, because the upper and lower sentences are talking about Nicodemus this town, although this town in Kansas state, but the upper and lower sentences just say this town, not to say the whole state, so should not add a whole Kansas state at a certain time how many people come in, the overall number of people into the state and the number of people into this town is not necessarily related. So it shouldn't be in the context of a separate discussion of Nicodemus. A m 5. D start down. The following said "but in fact not so good", so the first half of the sentence should be added "some people say things are good", so corresponding to D. M r. 6. B Word meaning analysis, this question is more difficult. It's easier to drain thespread, spreading this meaning completely can't be put into the original text. Let's put out the English explanation of collins in the remaining three words (Oxford, as does Webster's interpretation). expanse: An expanse of what, usually sea, sky, or land, is a large amount of it. It can be seen that its characteristics are large, then it does not conform to the original text, which is that some people go back to their familiar place (home) and do not want to emphasize that everyone's hometown is very large. locale: A locale is a small area, for example, the place where something whats or where action of a book or film is Set. It can be seen that the word emphasizes that something has happened in this place, and the original text just wants to say that some people have returned to their hometown and there is no evidence that something has happened in their hometown, and that there is an adjective, familiar, which is even more proof that the author wants to emphasize that people in this place us ta fa are familiar with it and do not want to emphasize that something happened in this place, so it cannot be used to refer to people's hometown. terrain: Terrain is used to refer to an area of land or a type of of land of when you are considering its physical When it can be seen that Terrain is used to describe the terrain of a place, the original text says that people go back to a familiar place, then this familiar actually contains people's familiarity with the local natural environment (and of course, familiarity with the local people), so you can use terrain. 7. D Punctuation. When connecting two sentences, colons and buts cannot be used at the same time, and stop marks and buts cannot be used at the same time, so A and C are excluded. The part of the include is an insertion, so there must be a comma before and after, so discharge B. Things that meet the punctuation requirements D, with comma plus but to connect the front and back two sentences, the second sentence has the including part as the insertion, before and after the comma, correct. rM 8. C Logical hosts are consistent. The workmany exodusters can only be the main language of C among the four options. M r. A m 9. A Logical words. The last sentence says that the abundance of people's lives depends on the amount of land produced. The next sentence is that the harvest of the land has increased and people can buy wood to build houses. The front and back two sentences can be connected by the word "final". Other options, still translated as "but", rather translated as "but", next translated as "next" into the sentence do not work well together. Note that next does not work, because there are no further steps, so this sentence here will be followed by "last". The premise of next is that there will be another word to say about the finale, but not here. 10. A The test point of a simple three-way side-by-side punctuation mark. Try the formulas A, B, and C. 11. C The principle of simplicity. The meaning of the serred and worse is repeated. 12. A Merge sentences, a is the most concise and logical meaning is not wrong. BCDs are not concise. 13. B Logical words. 14 question later said "but some people found that dodo is not really so stupid" means that the previous should say "before, people think dodo is very stupid", so choose B traditionally to express "before". ta fa 14. A Add or subtract sentences. This sentence gives people specific means, that is, from where to find evidence that dodo is not really so stupid, so this information is very important, in order to draw the following "dodo is not stupid" conclusion to do a good job, so add. Note that you can't choose B, because there is no content of the previous sentence of reinforce, the previous sentence is saying dodo stupid. rM us 15. D From along to pelvis is an insertion, before and after commas to be paired well. 16. B This it refers to dodo, there are its tips in front, you can also know that it should be used here. M r. A m 17. C The phrase waiting to be added says that the research team also wants to do an analysis of the weing bone, so it should be said below how to do the wind analysis or what to analyze from the wind bone. The fourth sentence happens to be the result of the analysis of the weing bone, so it is placed in front of the fourth sentence and then after the third sentence. 18. B Simplicity principle, here choose B led by to do the post-set language is the most concise, other options mean the same but long. 19. C There are two predicate verbs (create and caculated) before and after, so a verb is needed in the middle. 20. A The title requires the option to reflect a concession to the opposite view, which must be in the attack research method, only A conforms, A is to say that although the brain capacity is not an absolutely reliable intelligence assessment criterion, that is, to admit that the study only the brain capacity to judge is not absolutely perfect, this is a concession to the research method. 21. D All grid, H and G results, the result should not be followed by all the grid, discharge AC, and B wrong after the name Hume added s. us 23. D The principle of simplicity. ta fa 22. A Tense, dodo is neither... Nor is it... The whole sentence should pass the past tense, because dodo is extinct and it is impossible to exclude BCD in the future and now. The first half of the original sentence is not have been used, now when completed does not describe the action that is happening now, but belongs to the general category of the past tense, describing the past issued by the action. A m 25. C rM 24. A Where to guide non-qualified qualifiers from the front of the sentence to add commas, can not add a half sign, exclude BD, where the content of the sentence in exchange to benefits that part is an insertion, before and after to add commas, so choose A. Her Means Dyson。 r. 26. D Word meaning analysis, this question is more difficult. The students' main tangles are in the C and D options. M satisfactory : good enough for a particular purpose ( Near-meaning words acceptable) gratifying:pleasing and giving satisfaction From the English interpretation given by the Oxford Dictionary, it can be seen that it is poor, that is, although satisfied but not particularly excellent meaning, but also for a particular need of satisfaction, but gratifying is to make people happy, satisfactory, not for a particular purpose, the focus is not on the "enough" problem, but on whether to make the other side happy. In this question, the context doesn't want to emphasize that the job is pleasing to those who help others (not to say that it's not bad for a person's needs, it's bad, it's unsatisfactory, it's barely enough to meet people's needs). ta fa 27. C Logical words. The whole paragraph is a total score structure, the first sentence is the point of view, said that although the job is low salary, but other aspects of the return is high. Let's start by specifying which areas of high returns are high, one is that for those who help others, the job makes them happy, and the other is that the responsibility of the job is also significant. So before and after is the logical relationship of what's more. us 28. C Before and after are two sentences, commas can not be connected to a sentence, excluding AB, D colon misplaced and the logical relationship is wrong, here should be used a sign. rM 29. D Here is a coherent expression, with no commas or colons in the middle. 30. A The following is a work-related skill that program helps people with, so the corresponding main sentence should be A. A m 31. B Conform to the icon at the same time to conform to the original persuasive point of view, so only write a lot of people feel useful can be. r. 32. A The ratio of strongly agree to agree adds up to 76%, so it's arguably most, and option A fits the chart and supports the original thrust, so choose. M 33. B Because there is a time signal over a period of time, so it must be done now. 34. B The Granting part of A is not a complete sentence so you can't use a period, and the comma in C is wrong because the comma can't connect two sentences. The form of the and front and rear verbs in D is not correct, because it cannot be connected with and, therefore, only B can be selected, with a comma and then granting belongs to the structure of the accompanying adverb. 35. A The addition is to explain why someone is squestioning the legitimacy of Elgin's good good ints. belongs to the ilustrate fore, so add. ta fa 36. C Select the transition sentence. The previous sentence said that Britain should "protect" the artifacts, and the longer sentence said that "but after the independence of Greece some people said that Britain should return these relics", then the middle of the transitional sentence should say that during this period of time these relics are preserved in the United Kingdom. us 37. B Expression style, other options are non-normative usage, where AC belongs to spoken language, D belongs to awkward expression. rM 38. D A close-up word analysis. Raise a question is a fixed match, "ask a question." A m 39. A The main meaning is consistent, the main language is expertise so the predicate can only use three singles, BCD is not in line with, no longer need to consider the tense problem. 40. C Only C can form a purpose relationship with the below. The purpose of museum should be to protect cultural relics, not to mention making money or attracting tourists. M r. 41. B This can only take a sing number of nouns, so museum can not add s, exclude AD, here want to express is the museum's facilities, so the museum behind all the grid, the facilities do not have to add all the grid. 42. B As can be seen from the following sentences of the same argue and theothers still say, the controversy continues to this day, so choose B. 43. D A's logic is not right, not to replace opting, but precisely to choose to use a instead approach, corresponding to D. B's logic is correct, but it's not as simple as D's. C's fixed language from the West is not correct, which should refer to the Greek government, but C's usage of which can only be understood to refer to the United Kingdom, that is wrong. M r. A m rM us ta fa 44. B The punctuation at the end of the sentence is determined by the main sentence, where the main sentence is the statement sentence, so the question mark cannot be used. And the guest clause must use a statement tone, so choose B. ta fa MarchApil20192020 A m rM us Questionand-Answer Service r. Use this with your QAS Student M Guide and personalized QAS Report.

MOHAMED MANSOUR MR. AMR MUSTAFA 2020-03-international 2020.03 Asia Pacific Reading Reviews: The overall difficulty of reading is moderately low, mainly because the great literature of this volume is less difficult, the novel is not difficult, which can at least ta fa help candidates save a lot of time. Passage 1 Examined is the British Victorian Mrs. Gaskell's novel, the text style is delicate, close us to "Jane Eyre", the text is slightly less difficult than "Jane Eyre." It was Thornton who persuaded her mother to take a horse-riding bus to visit a few friends' homes, rM andMrsThornton Madame was reluctant to go, and the two men had a conversation about whether to rent a horse or not was reluctant to go, and the two had a conversation about whether to rent horses, to whether to call Mrs Thornton's lady's daughter Fanny, Go together, then go and then to whether Mrs Thornton was with A m her son or with her daughter. A long sentence appears on lines 58 through 67, but it is not particularly difficult to understand. Difficult words such as overcompensate,、 fortitude, etc. are set in the options, as well as Such a difficult word, also examined phrases such as kill off (eliminate a lot ofthings),to be ill at ease(uncomfortable, r. uncomfortable). M Passage 2 Great Literature Double The great literature was a speech by Roosevelt in 1933 and a speech by another man against him. In his speech, Roosevelt proposed theGood Neighbor Policy,also known as the Good Neighbor Policy. Roosevelt's "Good Neighbors Policy" speech, and presented English-Chinese documentation of the three speeches. The third Roosevelt speech we gave was not the same as the one in the exam, but the content was much the same. I do not know if there are students seriously looked, if you look, should certainly be able to more easily cope with this examination of the "good neighbors" bar. Passage 3 Natural Sciences There are more abstract theoretical concepts in the article, the amount of information is large and complicated, and the overall difficulty is greater. The article begins with an overview of Chickadee's the situation, to speak situation, speaking ta fa of chickadee, a bird that, although a herd, is usually far apart from the individual and invisible to each other, it is necessary to send a message to its companions by making a cry. They convey information by adjusting whether the A-tone in the call is a little more or the D-tone is a little more. The scientists then used models of us chickadee's natural enemies (Chinese used to call them "specimens") to scare Models of some natural enemies (Chinese called "specimens") to scare Chickadee,, rM Then analyze and then analyzed chickadee's tone. Starting with line 42, The line begins, specifically with the two scientists in a 2009 study by two scientists, which included The study included a set of two experiments, the first of which was in several different sizes a set of two experiments, the first of which used several model A m to scare predator models of different sizes to scare Chickadee,,It turned out to be the right one found that Chickadee emitted more The really threatening body size is smaller D-tones when encountering a smaller predator model that was a real threat model ,to ChChickadee. Chickadee Chickadee emits fewer predator Ds when r. itencounters a larger predator model that is not a threat. Then do a second M experiment, this time not to show Chickadee, the Predator model, but to scare them in a different way. It's about putting the recording from the first experiment back to Chickadee to see how Chickadee reacts. "The results showed that chickadeeinitiated mobbing (gathering will initiate to harass and besiege predators) when it heard a recording of a cry with more D tones." This second experiment linked the Dto-mobbing D Harmonic. mobbing behavior. This means that Chickadee does convey different messages through the tone of the call. Question 28 examines the purpose of the experiment, and question 30 requires a certain degree of difficulty in combination with graph reasoning. Passage 4 Social Sciences (Behavioral Sciences). The article language is not difficult, there is no complex concept, the experimental design is very good to understand, that is, let people take a hot drink or cold drink for a time, and then let people say that they feel for a stranger or acquaintance, found that first took a hot drink, the evaluation of people is also relatively "warm". First took a cold drink, the evaluation of people is also relatively cold. Question 33 ta fa examines the phrase turn your eyebrows (raise your eyebrowsto express surprise anddisagree). Question 36 has a "enhanced weakening question", which is the type of question in the GMAT The question type in the exam, in exam, which is less Passage 5 Natural Sciences us common in the SAT exam and has some difficulty. rM The amount of information in the article is large and difficult. The article is about an experimental field in Jena, This place has an experimental field from Germany, that has been in place for many years since 2002, so we know that a variety of crop A m hybrids can increase soil microbial activity, and that some bacteria can help plants fight disease. Scientists also wanted to know more about how a variety of crops mix and how to mix and match different crops, so they first wanted to find out by studying bacteria in the soil. But when it was later discovered that bacteria in the soil had moved to mediums for study, bacteria were prone to survival, and r. sometimes two plants added a bacterium to the soil, so even finding the bacteria M would not indicate which plant contributed more to soil improvement. So Jousset and Latz began looking for DNA in the soil bacteria. The microbial structure of the soil can be identified by comparing which disease-resistant DNA existsin mixed soils with different matching proportions, or it can focus on bacteria that inhibit pathogens (rather than all the beneficialbacteria in the soil). Passage 1 1. A Ask the full text. Lines 1 through line 36 of the article are about whether Mrs. Thornton Madame would like to go to a few people's homes as guests, and then at first wants to visit several people, and then on lines 37 Line to No through 70, line from her daughter is not going to the transition to speak she transitions from whether her daughter is not going with her to mrs. Thornton's feelings for her son and daughter. Details. Ask the meaning of lines 8 through 11. ta fa 2. D The meaning of "kill off" in line 9 “is to removeand eliminate, and here is the meaning of "handle off". The whole us sentence means that Mrs Thornton, who sat in a carriage for three days less than half a month ago, had a hard time completing the task of visiting acquaintances. Who may now put themselves to trouble and expense in their turn is that Mrs rM Thornton Madame has been on the run for money has been on a costly run to see these friends who have to see, and now it is their turn to return to visit her 3. B A m in a carriage, she does not want to run again. Details. Ask Mrs Thornton why she doesn't want to rent horses. Evidence in lines 26 to 28,one would think you weremade of money,,"one would think..." indicates that Mrs Thornton cares and cares about other people's thoughts and opinions. r. Note that option C is ill at ease is a fixed phrase, meaning to be out and not M relaxed,,and option C means "Mrs Thornton will not be comfortable when the horse in thecarriage is close". In choice D (think for her ) is not a match to the t evidence D because she was talking to her son 4. D The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 5. D Vocabulary questions. be given to something is a fixed phrase, meaning to do something regularly or as a habit. Do it often; get used to it Example.:She was given to staying in bed till lunchtime. ta fa She often stays in bed until lunchtime. Incline to/towards something means "inclined to think, inclined to agree" and is close to the meaning of be given to something. us 6. B The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Q. What does line 54 do with the rM discussion of "A Stranger"? We can't just look at the phrase "a stranger" but two sentences from lines 54 to 58, two sentences, this sentence is to say which say,"A less attentive bystander might think... but that'sa big mistake." So lines A m 54 through 57 line is to lead out the No are intended to correct a possible misinterpretation (option B) if lines 57 through 58 are quoted. Note that the possible in option B corresponds to the virtual tone of line 55, the virtual tone of the line “may have considered". r. 7. B M Ask what lines 54 to 70 mean? This is actually the test pair for line 58 The very daringness... To line 67... The understanding of the long sentence and lines through 70 of the a secure resting-place for her affection. If a stranger watches from the sidelines and thinks mrs. Thorton The lady's attitude towards her son was a little rougher, and a little more careful with her daughter might have thought has a rougher attitude towards her son and a little more careful about her daughter, he may think that Mrs. Thorton loves her daughter much more than she does her son. That's a big mistake. Mrs. Thorton and her son can tell the unpleasant truth, )Truth, showing that mother and son are firmly attached to each other's souls, andshowing that the mother and son are firmly attached to each other, while Mrs. Thorton is always worried about her daughter's tenderness about her suffering She subconsciously thought that her daughter lacked some of her mother's excellent qualities, which she considered to be more valuable among the many qualities. She felt a little ashamed to think that her daughter lacked some of her Mrs. Thorton's shame exposed her love ta fa mother's qualities and tried to hide it. for her daughter, which in fact lacked a safe footing (i.e., she could not fall on her daughter, i.e. she did not actually love her so much). She called her son a direct name (that's the real pro-family name), and told her daughter to always us use "dear" and other names (these calls are not really pro). So Mrs. Thorton knewin her heart that she was closer to her son and not so close to her daughter, rM so she called her " dear"),These are actually taking a kind of make-up(and showed a special tenderness, which was actually a measure of make-up. But this remedy is a little too much, so it's overcompensate. A m 8. C Vocabulary questions. Deeply That means extremely or strongly , profoundly That means r. deeply or extremely。 M 9. B Details. Ask, according to thearticle, what is the style of conversation between John Thornton and her mother? Evidence is on lines 58 to 59,The two men dared to tell the true truth, so they chose candid,candid That means honest and telling the truth, especially about something difficult or painful ,( Especially for difficult or painful things) forthright, frank, outspoken Mother and son are discussing a not very good thing to deal with, in the end to go to visit friends, rent not rent horses, etc., when the twopeople directly use the word "nonsense" dialogue, it can be seen that the two sides are more candid. 10.

Roosevelt believed that the primary us responsibility of each country was to meet the needs of its own people, and asked which option could support that view. rM Line 45,the interest of our own citizens must, in each instance, come firsthand the question in the trunk a primary responsibility to the needs of its 12. A A m people。 Details. Ask passage 1, whatdoes Roosevelt think of Monroeism? A) Fully support the idea that Monroeist policies are part of the Good Neighbors r. policy. M B) Agree to implement this policy in the United States and not outside the United States. C) He acknowledges that Monroeism used to be useful, but it's out of date. D) Oppose many of the provisions of Monroeism, especially those that limit American power. First find the reference toMonroeism in line 20, which Roosevelt believed was, and still does, point to the independence of the peoples of the Americas, and which was, and still opposes, any country outside the Americas to expand its 2 territory or seek control. The next use of this pan-american doctrine of continental self-defense refers to "Monroeism", arguing that refers to "Monroeism" and thinks in passing years, the people of the Americas realized not only that European forces should not interfere with the Americas, but also that there was mutual respect for each other's independence within the Americas. That is, the good neighbor policy is a policy developed on the basis of ta fa Monroeism (not to let the Europeans get involved in the Americas, not to let the Europeans get involved in the Americas, the countries within the United States respect each other's independence, do not bully each other), so Monroeism can 13.

Notion in the correct option C means a conception of or belief about listed something (concept; concept; opinion, opinion). 15. D Details. Ask Beals what happens to countries that are geographically close to each other. "Evidence in lines 61 to 63, France and Germany have different policies, partly because they are neighbouring countries." The in the correct option D dissimilar policies Corresponds to line 62 different ta fa policies。 16. B Details. Q. What does Beal think of some of Europe's dictatorships? us Evidence in lines 69 to 71, some are worse tyrannies than any in Europe, meaningthat some countries in the Americas are more authoritarian than the rM worst , dictatorships in Europe. The correct option, B, says that Europe's dictatorships are no more authoritarian than many dictatorships in the Americas. Two places say the same thing. A m 17. C The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 18. A r. Vocabulary questions. The on line 70 The verb shape of the line's limited is limit, M limit meaning set or serve as a limit to(Limit.),The correct option A means limit, which also means "limit.” ( prevent (someone or something) from doing something; keep under control or within limits) 19. D Ask which of the following options summarizes a major difference in the way two articles use writing? A) The first article analyses some historical data on a number of countries in the Americas, while the second article mainly expresses the views of those countries in the first article. The first article is not analyzing historical data, so A is wrong. B) The first article advocated broad changes in political activity, while the second article defended the status quo and argued that it should be maintained. The first article did not say that the status quo was bad and that there should be a big ta fa change, but rather a greater emphasis on mutual respect and equality within the Americas on the basis of Monroeism, and finally, although there were calls for the removal of trade barriers, it did not call for broad changes. The second article is not to say that the status quo is good, to maintain the status quo, but to point us out that the status quo is not as ideal as the first article said. So B is wrong. C) The first article set out the goals that countries in the Western Hemisphere rM should strive to achieve, and the second article focused mainly on the past behaviour of those countries. The structure of the first article is to first announce the good neighbor policy that the United States will pursue, then point out the A m good neighbor policy and the commonality and continuity of Monroeism, then blame the ongoing conflicts in four countries, and finally call for the removal of some unnecessary trade barriers. The second article is pointing out that Roosevelt's several understandings of reality and the status quo were wrong, r. not focused on the past behavior of these countries. So C is wrong. M D) The first article deals primarily with international relations in general terms, while the second article focuses on specific situations (in the area of international relations). The main part of the first article is line 1 to 35, is a general general talk of "mutual respect", "mutual understanding" and other concepts andism, the second article specifically analyzed Germany and France, the Americas border countries policy, comparing the dictatorships of the Americas and Europe, and comparing the American countries be bespass or European countries, these issues are some (international relations) specific situation. 20. A Two relationship questions. Ask Roosevelt what his views are compared to Beal's views on state relations. According to line 55, Beal Think Roosevelt's understanding of reality is believed that Roosevelt's understanding of reality was falsehoods,、misconceptions, and some non-existent situations, and that Roosevelt's idea that the Americas were ta fa less authoritarian, peace-loving, and that good relations could be made between, neighbors. 21. B us Details. Ask Roosevelt if some of Roosevelt's views are seen by Beals as old platitudes, and which of the next ones is most likely to fall into this category? rM The question, which needed to be found in lines 84 to 85 from 84 lines of the wrong platitudes, said, "Just as Roosevelt was talking about some old-fashioned colleagues, Nicaragua and Honduras came close to fighting because of a stamp", A m a remark that satirized Roosevelt, which showed that Roosevelt had said that Nicaragua and Honduras would not fight. This corresponds to Option B, in which the countries of the Americas increasingly value their independence from each other (no interference in the affairs of other countries, no war). M r. Passage 3 22. A The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the full text of the features. Option A is correct. The article does introduce several experiments, which determine which specific tone mode the call presents has which function (some tone function is alarm,,Some tones function some tone function is mobbing,also knownas assembly). Option B is wrong in thearticle and does not mention that there are severalcompeting theories (competing hypotheses),),option C is wrong in the results of the two teams of scientists is notinconsistent (discrepancy),),option D is wrong and does not compare the tone pattern of the tits' voice with that of other The choice was wrong and the results of the two teams of scientists were not inconsistent( birds. 23. D ta fa Details. Ask the what the pronunciation system is useful for? The evidence is in lines 1 through 5, because the birds, although inhabited, cannot see each other when moving in their natural environment (at a distance), us YES, because the birds, though in groups, cannot see each other when they move in their natural environment (at a distance), so they can issue "find food" rM or "find enemies “signal so the vocal signaling system that sends a signal of "find food" or "find the enemy" is crucial for the 1 crucial tits.

D A m other flocks. The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the function of the information in r. parentheses on lines 16 through 18 is 16 M A)Give some definitions of scientific terms, errors. The definition of a term is not important for an experiment. Just saying the name of a bird and saying that it doesn't prey on a is not a definition. The definition should be to give a lot of characteristics, "tall, hair color is usually gray, the forehead has erythema, legs slender, good at flying, can also wade, mainly to freshwater shrimp for food for an amphibian migratory bird" this. And. B) Describes what the appearance characteristics of sharp shinned hawks and blue jay are different from the appearance of tits. Error. The two birds are the predator of the tits, predatorand their function is to frighten thetits, and the difference between their own shape and the has nothing to do with the experiment. C)Emphasize that both predatory birds that eat other birds and non-predator birds that don't eat other birds use sound to convey information. Error. The article makes no mention of the sound of Predator. ta fa D) State the significance of selecting several different bird models (the key is that one bird is the predator of the tits,,The other is not a threat to and acts as an experiment the other is not a threat to the tits, acting as control in the us experiment, i.e.when the controlgroup, without the control group, the experiment can not draw any meaningful conclusions). Note that the significance here does rM not mean the meaning of the important, but the meaning of the special meaning. Example.:Do you think that look he gave you had any significance? 25.

The difference in body size between and predators has an effect on whether predators prey on, and which sentence provides evidence? Evidence is in lines 54 to 56, with small predators preying on petite birds(song birds),Big predator Do not hunt。 27. B Vocabulary questions. What the point means here is depict (a particular subject) in a picture or other work of art,This refers to birds model represent Bird.。 So choose depict。 ta fa 28. D Details. Ask Soard and Ritchison to An experiment was added to play back many from an experimented an experiment to play back the calls of a lot of in an us experiment, and what are they doing for? The first thing to know about Soard and Ritchison,First did an experiment, that is, take fixed several kinds is to scare the with several models The model went rM to scare the and concluded that the encountered small, truly threatening ones that are immobilized, and to conclude that the sound of the contains more the model that emits more sounds D-tones when they encounter a small, truly A m threatening model of the predator. Later,in another experiment, played a tape of the tits' barking recorded when the model scared the to another group of, and as a result, the were more likely to When you tune more, you're more likely to start with the speaker that plays the recording launch a mobbing of the speaker r. playing the recording when they heard the recording containing more tits' calls, i.e. the group approached the speaker andattacked the speaker. This confirms M that the tits that contain more D-tones do convey a signal calling on other to come together to launch a mobbing Signal of attack (No attack (lines 67 to 70), which clearly shows that the do adjust the composition of their call tones according to the different circumstances they encounter when they encounter a threat. A) Make sure that the will not change the composition of the tone in the call without a direct threat. Wrong, because this option means that the second experiment is to see what kind of callthe would make without predator and only with a recording. The purpose of the second experiment was to observe the behavior of the without recording the calls made by the again. B) Clarify whether the size of the predator model affects the patterns (i.e. the composition) of the various tones in the tits' call. The first experiment, perched- ta fa predator,had already clarified the problem, and the second experiment to play the recording could not be furtherclarified than the first experiment. So B is wrong. us C) Solve several contradictory experimental results from the first experiment. Error, the first experiment did not produce contradictory experimental results. rM D) Confirm the significance of a discovery in the first experiment. Note that the meaning of significance here, Problem. like the significance in the 一 is in option 24-question option, means meaning, not 24 significance A m meaningimportance. D the Example.: Do you think that look he gave you had any significance? Do you think he has any special meaning in looking at you? Because the discovery of the first The tone conveys the expression experiment r. only found a relationship between D-tone Harmonic. and predator, Without more M experiments, this finding is not very large the discovery would not have been significant if there were no more experiments, and the , And the second experiment confirmed that second experiment confirmed that the D-tone conveys the mob signal, thus confirming the significance of the first discovery. 29. C Chart questions. Q. According to Figure 1,does the have a D minimum in each call when itreacts to which of the following predator models? Look for the black dot with the lowest ordinate in the figure, which represents the ruffed grouse. 30. A A comprehensive analysis of the picture. Ask which of the following statements about the is consistent with both the article and Figure 1. A) Tits come close to the American kestrel Model, will go very close to this model; ta fa model, and the red-tailed hawk model doesn't come so close. Articles andcharts show that (the ordinates corresponding to American kestrel The corresponding ordinate ratio are higher than those corresponding to red-tailed hawk), corresponding to the high ordinates), the encountered and that when a tit us encounters an American kestrel model, Model is issued with more it lines to emits a sound that contains more D tones The sound of the tone is more likely rM to be right and is more likely to initiate The model initiates mobbing on the American kestrel model(according to lines 62 to 63, mobbing is). Approach it closely in large numbers),),and American kestrel belongs to the small size to a small , Line to that belongs to a large body predator,,red-tailed hawk A m belongs to a large predator, conforming to lines 61 to 66. B) The are right great horned owl The model is more likely to launch a mob attack great horned owl There is a high probability of an attack。 In the chart, yes great horned owl corresponding Toned ratio Cooper’s hawk little more, however great r. horned owl Body size ratio great horned owl large, and according to article No M 61 to 66,It should be small predator cause more D so it doesn't match the content of the article,B Error.。 issued when the model is issued C) The It's number one tits emit a flight response when they encounter the red-tailed hawk model(the flight here means The line of the line until the first flight meaning, so a flight response "escape"), so the a flight response is more likely to signal lines 28 through 29 than any other (Here it is model.

"Furthermore, the A tone does not reflect the A Tone is the representative tone in the chart, which represents the alarm signal (lines 27 toto 29), so the chart does not support the C option.

C Vocabulary questions. trait means "characteristics, especially human characteristics"(distinguishing quality orcharacteristics). ( Attribute also means "the attribute, characteristic, or quality of a person or ta fa thing" when it comes to nouns (a quality or feature regarded as a characteristic or inherent part of someone or something) us 35. A The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask to discuss the purpose of the rM experiment conducted by two Dutch scientists in 2009. A)Correct, the2009 lab conclusions reinforce the 2008 experimental conclusions. The 2008 experiment concluded that exposureto cold or hot coffee affects A m people's ability to score a fictional stranger theydon't know, and the 2009 experiment concluded that exposure to cold and hot drinks affects people's perception of the intimacy of an acquaintance. So it can be proved that exposure to cold and hot things can affect people's mood, and thus affect people's r. judgment of many things. M B) Wrongly, scientistshaven't changed their minds since) 2008. C)) Wrongly, the2009 experiment did not challenge a basic concept of the 2008 experiment. D) Wrong, not to mention the impact of the 2008 experimental design. Here note means "lift... (to draw attention to) " meaning. 36. B This is a common "enhanced, weakened question" in GMAT exams and is less common in SAT. Ask which of the following is true (i.e., what happened in the 2009 experiment) and what will weaken the conclusion of that experiment in 2009? A)Many of the subjects, who held a hot drink for a moment and then remembered to fight intimacy, were people who had known each other for a relatively short time. If this is true, then it is equivalent to holding the hot drink, to the uncooked people score intimacy, all hit a high score, indicating that hot drinks do have a great impact on people's judgment. ta fa B)Many of the subjects, first holding a cold drink for a moment, and then remember that the person who fights intimacy is a less familiar person. If this is true, then it is equivalent to holding a cold drink, to the less familiar people hit us the intimate score, hit a lower percentage, it may be because they do and think of the person is not too familiar, that is, even if not first hold a cool drink, will score lower. This suggests that people's judgment may not be influenced by cold rM drinks, which contradicts the experimental conclusions in the article (that people are affected by the cold heat of the drink they hold first), which weakens the conclusions of the experiment. So option B is correct. A m C) Many of the subjects held cold drinks for a) little time, and these subjects did not usually drink cold drinks. Strictly speaking, the experiment only took a drink, did not involve drinking, and the subject's usual habits have nothing to do. So this does not affect the conclusion of the experiment. r. D) Many of the subjects held a cold drink for a while, and they had a drink before M taking part in the experiment. This option is wrong and is still the same reason that drinking a drink has nothing to do with experimentation, and that holding a drink is only relevant. 37. A Details. According to line corresponds to 79 lines of the correct option of the subtle in the caption,,Then look at the context, and then you can find the evidence at No ..then look at the context, and then you can find evidence in lines 82 to 83, mostly without our awareness corresponding to the correct option A of the unlikely to the response to the public. 38. A Details. Ask the author what experiments she thinks she mentioned are important, in part because of those experiments...? A) Supported a new theory in a new field of study on the reasons why people ta fa think about peacekeeping operations. Correct, the evidence is in the first 83 To.88,an emergent field: a new area of study,the core theory Corresponding to a hypothesis。 B) It is important to note that scientists cannot fully predict the results of their us own research. Experiments are not designed to prove that scientists can't predict their own results, and if scientists can fully predict their own results, rM there's no need for research. C) proves that people's impressions of each other are simply unpredictable. The study concluded that "touching cold or hot things before making A m judgments" affects people's judgment, not relationships. D) Provide examples that can be used to discuss and evaluate some modern research methods. There is nothing particularly novel about the methods of these two experiments, the research methods are not the highlights of these two r. experiments, the results of the study is. M 39. D The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 40. A Chart questions. Ask the average difference between the person who took a cold drink first and the person who took a hot drink first when giving a score on intimacy. According to the chart, the corresponding ordinates of the two bars are subtracted to give the answer is 1. 41. D Chart questions. Q According to the chart, the person who took a hot drink first experienced a stronger feeling than the person who took a cold drink first. ta fa The chart shows that people who took hot drinks rated higher than those who took cold drinks, while subjects rated themselves Score, so choose and others for closeness, so they chose the synonym synonyms for closeness, intimacy. The adjective form of option A, collegial, means "shared responsibility with us colleagues, shared responsibility)withcolleagues" (relating to or involving shared responsibility, as among group of colleagues). "Shared responsibility rM with colleagues, shared responsibility with colleagues."”( 42. C Separate proof-seeking questions (comprehensive analysis of illustrations). A m This question can be regarded as a separate proof-seeking question, can also be regarded as a graphic comprehensive analysis question, is to ask candidates to find which sentence in the article summarizes the data in the chart shows the results. The chart shows that the person who held the hot drink for a second r. gave closeness The score is better, corresponding to the No a better score, M corresponding to line 71 行 of the viewed person in mind as closer emotionally. Passage 5 43. B The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask about the functionality of the second natural paragraph (lines 7 through 12). The second natural paragraph begins with Jousset himself said:“himself saying, “I always wondered about the underlying mechanisms “and "I've been(curious) wondering about the mechanisms behind this." Wonder means desire or be curious to know something, because curious,want toknow, began this research. So this paragraph is talking about the researcher's motivation,,Corresponding to the scientific options viewer's motivating the researchfor the Boption. 44. C Vocabulary questions. Maintain here means "provide something necessary ta fa tomake it survive"(providewith necessities for life orexistence). Example.:The allowance covers the basic costs of maintaining a child. us This subsidy is enough for the basic cost of raising a child. tend It means "care.” (care for or look after),It means maintain Close. rM Example.:He tended plants on the roof. He took care of the plants on the roof. 45. A A m The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the rhetorical function of the sentence on lines 22 through 23. Although scientists know that a variety of crops mixed together, than a single crop, the harvest is better, but only know this general conclusion, the specific r. variety of crops how to match, scientists still do not know, so it is not scientific, M a variety of crops mixed soil in the end how, it is not very clear, to cultivate this kind of soil, it is like art creation. Specifically, in lines 23 to 32, OK, said the specific problem of previous research, that is, there is no explanation that can produce beneficial microbial environment of the best mix ratio is not clear, bacteria are too difficult to find, bacteria in the culture base (please note).the specific problems identified in previous studies were that there was no clear picture of the optimal mix that would produce a beneficial microbial environment, that bacteria were too difficult to find, that bacteria did not survive well in media And. (note that both culture medium and growth medium mean "media"), and so culture medium on. Josset and Latz's research turned to genes in the soil in an attempt to solve these problems, so choose A. 46. D Ask the author if the bacteria in the soil are elusive,what does she mean? ta fa A) There are no bacteria in some soils. There is no mention in the article. B) Scientists have not studied bacteria in depth with other microorganisms. There is no mention of in the article us C) Shorter life than other bacteria. Line 29 although it is said that(some soil bacteria do not survive very well in the medium (,But that doesn't mean they live longer than other bacteria don’t grow well), this does not mean that they live rM longer than other bacteria (short-lived). D) Scientists are hard to find。 elusive The definition is "difficult to express (or 47. B A m find, reach, remember).”(difficult to describe, find, achieve, or remember)。 Details. Which of the following innovations does the article praise Josset and Latz's research? r. A) A new type of bacteria has been found that can affect soil health. M B) A method has been designed to identify a specific bacterial activity. C) Focus on pathogens in the soil rather than bacteria that are beneficial to the soil. D) A new test has been developed to distinguish between beneficial and harmful bacteria. B is the correct choice that corresponds to the claim in lines 39 - 43 The evidence, in lines 39 to 43, focuses on genes rather than bacteria, and on bacteria that inhibit soil pathogens. Here we review the entire article, which is about an The article is about Germany experimental field in Jena, This place has an experimental field from Germany, that has been in place for many years since 2002, so we know that a variety of crop hybrids can increase soil microbial activity, and that some bacteria can help plants fight disease. Scientists want to know exactly how a variety of crops can be mixed, first by studying bacteria in ta fa the soil to figure out the problem. But it was later found that bacteria in the soil tended not to survive when moved to a medium for study, and sometimes the two plants added a bacterium to the soil, so even finding the bacteria would not indicate which plant contributed more to soil improvement. us 48. C The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last rM question, see the analysis of the last question. 49. A A m The experiment in Jena, Germany, was useful for Josset and Latz, and what did a Jena experiment offer? A) A variety of soil samples with different microorganisms. B) Historical data on soil many years ago. r. C) Experimental facilities for the cultivation of bacteria. M D) A tool for extracting DNA from soil samples. According to lines 44 to 47 of the article ,Josset and Latz Doing research is from did the research by taking soil samples from Jena's place without historical data, facilities, or tools. 50. C Josset and Latz draw some conclusions about what is the best way to prevent soil pathogens from harming grains. What allowed them to draw these conclusions? (This question actually asks the candidate to summarize the process of the Josset and Latz experiments.) . A) One experiment showed that grass plants produced a large number of DAPG and PRNs,,Another experiment confirmed that grass plants produce the best and another experiment confirmed that grass plants produced the best DAPG and PRN ratios. Participating in the experiment are a mix of plants, not just grass A Error. ta fa plants. B) One experiment confirmed a relationship between soil health and legumes, and another confirmed that beets can counter the effects of legumes on soil The article does not mention. us (meaning that beets affect soil can counteract the effects of legumes on soil). B Error. rM C) One experiment showed that a number of different plant mixing combinations produced different amounts of DAPG and PRN,,Another experiment provided information about what kind of hybrid planting combination could be produced while another experiment provided some specific information about the optimal C is correct. Lines 52 through The line begins with A m ratio of DAPG and PRN. how the second experiment is done, and line 59 tells the results of the first experiment (indicating that the hybrid does produce of the article tell the results of the first experiment (showing that hybrids do produce DAPG and PRN),), r. From the first starting with lines 66, and from lines 75 to 86, the The line tells the M results of the second experiment (indicating that it will be produced). results of the second experiment (indicating the genes that produce DAPG and PRN, which match the ratio and prevent disease best). D) One experiment showed that PRN was It's vital to soil health, another experiment proves critical to soil health, and another showed that DAPG actually does more harm to plants than previous results suggest. The article does not mention thatD is wrong. 51. C Separate proof-seeking questions. Which, sentence proves that Josset and Latz's findings Latz The findings challenge some of the most reasonable assumptions about soil health ( challenge some of the very reasonable assumptions about soil health(the assumption That means is that the thing is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof, whichcan be translated here)? ta fa The evidence is in lines 59 to 63, OK, this sentence is said, in which says that one of the findings of Josset and the question is in the trunk Latz's One of the findings is study is somewhat counterintuitive, i.e. contrary to people's intuition, the Instead.,intuition and the assumption in the inscription are synonyms, it's "counter"and the challengein the inscription Corresponds. us synonyms, rM 52. D The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Q What does it do to quote another scientist on lines 87 through 92?

"This is a potential practical application of the results of this M r. study. writing 2020.03 Asia Pacific Grammar Reviews: This set of grammar questions in the pure grammar point in the right moment, moderate difficulty, all test points are the knowledge points we have speaking in class, but part of the chapter to understand the problem is difficult, need careful ta fa consideration. From the current set of the latest sets of questions, the difficulty of chapter understanding seems to increase slightly, need to cause enough attention, students after the preparation of the key must include chapter understanding questions, that is, pay attention to training their reading and understanding ability, us really read the article, rather than rely on individual words to do the problem. 1. C rM Merge sentences. The most concise and correct expression of the C option is that the first two sentences are time relations, and the second half is the time adverb of the first half. A m 2.B The symmetry of the parallel structure, in which three verbs can make appear side by side,,So these three verbs have to be unified in form, so you can only choose reach,,acknowledge,,learn, so the three verbs have to be unified, so only B can r. be selected to keep the learn and the first two verbs formally symmetrical. 3.C M The main theme of the paragraph. The paragraph as a whole is about how S 和 and E organize related activities at home, reflecting the DRC's task of providing a community for local writers and artists A cannot be chosenbecause the easterncoastal cities are not mentioned below, nor is there any mention of who the DRC is sponsoring. B cannot be chosenbecause the following does not reflect the process by which peoplewere originally extremely sad, but eventually came out of grief. Note that people starting to participate in activities can not be understood as people out of grief, choose B words to reflect the change of mentality process, and not below,and B option is that the person involved in the funeral out of grief, and the following does not show that the person involved in the funeral was the person who participated in the funeral. D cannot be selectedbecause S and E most worshipped are not written And. below. 4.C Fixed match. So... so... That's... that's a So much so that。 ta fa 5.B start down. Below is how PS recalls how YK(a god-level person) instructs itself to modify poetry. So the corresponding point of view sentence should be to participate in these activities writers will guide these seminars and guide some us young writers. (Although the next sentence does not explicitly say that PS Is a young writer, but according to ia young writer, according to the word "reacall"it rM can be said that PS It's been a few years since I took part in this event, and there are is some years away from participating in the event, and there is YK to guide him on how to delete some unnecessary words, so it is reasonable to infer that he 6.C A m should be young and inexperienced.) . The statement order is always used in the clause. What guides here is the guest clause after the verb experience, so AB is not selected((AB is the question order). D The last question mark is wrong, the punctuation at the end of the sentence is r. determined by the main sentence, and here the main sentence is the statement M sentence. 7.B fixed held. chance Nouns should be answered chance to do something The opportunity to do something Or chance of doing something So to choose A's words need to be connecting Add the front of。 8.A Amassing a library of works by the African American writers matches the claim in choice A 9.A The principle of simplicity,A is the most concise. The BCD means the same thing but it's long-winded. 10.C This refers to DRC so it should be used。 11.B Full text conclusions. The full text is that the DRC has made people pay attention ta fa to a lot of African American works, many up-and-down poets, writers, performers. 12.D The principle of simplicity.

"prescriptive, specified",proscriptive is "exiled, deprived of human rights, M prohibited" 17.C Punctuation rules that go side by side should be X, Y, and Z Here is the commercial diving school side by side with a dive military school and a college, so follow the rules of this punctuation. 18.B Select the transition sentence. The previous sentence said that in order to obtain the employment,the future commercial diver must obtain the appropriate qualification certificate from the appropriate school. Then take the transition sentence of option B and say there's a lot to learn when you say training. The last sentence of the last paragraph explains why you should learn so much, because you have to deal with all kinds of problems every day. 19.C Chart questions.

Word meaning analysis. Ascertain means "to find out the true or correct M information about something" in line with the meaning of the text. Fathom means "to understand or find an explanation for something", and in the original text MR wanted to know how old art was, not to explain why art was so old. 26.C The next sentence is that MR and his team are eager to find a nondestructive method that doesn't harm art, and their very traditional approach to the C option will be damaged. 27.A Merge sentences. A The most concise and correct meaning. 28.A Word meaning analysis. Site means address. Cite is a reference, sight is a field of vision, and citation is a reference. 29.C Unqualified clause from the sentence to do insertion, followed by a dash, so the front can only be accompanied by a dash. ta fa 30.D Sentence sorting (insertion). This innovation refers to the innovative method described in the original paragraph, so it should be put in the end to sum it up very well. us 31.B The next sentence is not about the new method and the traditional method rM measurement results are consistent, so do not choose A. There is also no mention below of WL's findings in the mid-twentieth century, which did not select C. There's no way to say below whether neither method can date anything from 50,000 years ago so don't choose D. The following is about things that were B. 32.C A m previously not dated by traditional methods and can now bedated, so choose date Choose the transition sentence, the previous sentence said that people used to r. use traditional methods dare not date something. Then take C,"Now these things M can be dated", and then the next sentence, the researchers will know more. 33.D The principle of simplicity. 34.A Strapped toone'swrist is an insertion that is symmetrical before and after the comma. 35.D The people are consistent. Using our and we before and after,so we are also used here. 36.D The principle of simplicity. Summarize and encapsulate are a meaning, just keep one. 37.B The main meaning is the same. The main language of this sentence is one problem,so the predicate verb uses singerum is. ta fa 38.A Merge sentences. A's adverb is the most concise and correct. 39.C The main point of this passage is that the data collected by these devices may not Carry no official assurance means that the data may us be reliable, so choose C. not be reliable. rM 40.A The singration of all grids and nouns, because the manufacturer There's one in front has a different,所以 in front of it, so the manufacturers have to add a plulu number, which means "manufacturer's To add equipment" so "manufacturer" is 41.D A m followed by all grids, and manufacturers "device" is not used. The last paragraph says that data is not guaranteed to be accurate, and this paragraph says that even if people know the exact information, it can't be. D This r. transition sentence just reflects these two layers of meaning. M 42C option C is correct because C says the activity when track is awake and the activity when you are asleep 43.B Logical hosts are consistent. Only Pierce, the master of B, can make a learning action. 44.A Add or subtract sentences. This question is more difficult. We can reverse the reasoning from the options, do not,So you can't select B,,The author also did not analyze why in the full text the author in the full text also did not analyze why activity-tracking devices are so popular, so even if this sentence is to be added, it is not So popular, so even if this sentence is to be added, it is not to support the author's analysis in this regard, because the author does not have such a thing at all to support the author in this aspect of the relevant analysis, because the author ta fa does not have such analysis,so it is not possible to contribute to. Don't ,Again, this sentence is already in the next paragraph, there is no provision It’s no use saying you can't go to choose, so that's it C, because the point of view of the last paragraph is not that all the data is useless, so this sentence says some data is us It's useful, and it doesn't count useful, also does not count as a business, again,this sentence has been located in the next paragraph, there is no provision rM to say that can not go to the content of the last paragraph, can be the next paragraph is a turning point in the last paragraph. Don't choose D,because D says this sentence has Say this and discuss this article nothing to do with the usefulness of devices discussed in The usefulness of the class is irrelevant, this A m sentence is exactly what is said this article, and this sentence in class is exactly the question of the usefulness of devices, so it's not irrelevant information, so choose A.

Option C means exactly "but, at the time, he was not satisfied with his work". 2. . A us From upon to Germany is the adverb of the whole sentence, after which a comma is required to take over the main sentence, and Cologne and Germany are small administrative places to the relationship between the rM large administrative places that contain it (similar to Beijing, China), so to hit a comma between the two. 3. . B A m As soon as Plank heard that Duke Ellington was coming to Cologne, he immediately thought about going to the recording session, so Duke Ellington should be very attractive to Plank, so here's why. Option B says Duke Ellington is a renowned performer, which explains why Cologne session. r. immediately thought about going to the M 4. D The principle of simplicity. A's emphasize and highlight repeat, B-option's elements and dashed parts are repeated behind the aspects, C-option's unique and particular repeat. 5. C The context is talking about Plank and Ellington's recording session, while the sentences waiting to be added are introducing Trombones and saxophones, which have nothing to do with the topic of context discussion, so choose C. 6. D Selecting A results inrun-onon sentence. B is followed by a fixed clause, and the main sentence cannot be connected with a half sign, so B is wrong. C with which to decorate Ellington this person, is also wrong, ta fa should use who, and should be in front of the comma, so D pair. 7. A Word meaning analysis. The last sentence of the last paragraph said that Ellington praised (complimented) Plank, so this should be a positive us response. So choose A. Optimistic is optimistic, assertive is positive, progressive is advanced, with response can not echo the above concept The positive response should be apositive one. rM of "praise." 8. B Here is Kraftwerk, the Eurythmics and Devo all side by side, following the 9.D A m formulas A, B, and C, so choose B.

There is a longer insert in the middle of this sentence, between the two dashes. The dash is preceded by the main language, the core noun is material, so the predicate verb in singum form, choose C. 11.A The point of the paragraph is The material from Plank's recording session with Ellington was lost and discovered by his son so select A best reflects this point.

Here individual noun use, there is no an before, so certainly take the plulus, so exclude AB, and individuals after the need to add all the grid, because the sentence wants us to represent "personal career", so exclude D, choose C. 14.A a customer. rM The main argument in this article is that coaching must be qualified to be Option B is wrong in a variety of of of, coaches need to have good experience, but the article does not say that coachs have "various" experience. Coaches as long as they have the experience or 15. D A m qualifications to do coaching. Merge sentence questions. Option D uses a fixed clause to merge the r. second sentence into the first sentence, and correctly expresses the logical relationship (cause and effect) of the two sentences, and is M concise, so it is the best choice. Option A uses multiple and connected side-by-side sentences, which are very unsophoneable. The BC option uses a half sign and a colon, respectively, so that the entire sentence is also very un concise, and in the case of a clause, there is no need to use side-by-side sentences. 16. D Chart questions. According to the chart information, 67% work corresponds to work-life life balance, so A is wrong, 7 1% corresponds to interpersonal skills so B is wrong, 72% corresponds to common skills, so C is wrong. 80% corresponds exactly to self-confidence,-so D pair. 17. A Chart questions. As shown in the chart, the personal organization corresponds to 61%. ta fa 18. B Logical words.

A Coherently expressed interiors cannot be arbitrarily punctued. Passage 3 23. B The next sentence says this place has less water, low temperature, no nutrition, corresponding to the B option of this question, cold desert ecosystem. 24. B The principle of simplicity. It's been said before, there's no need to write per year, or each year, or yarly. 25. B Parallel structures should be symmetrical. Here is the a mean content and ta fa low nutrient availability and dash section side by side parallel, so the dash section to be consistent with the previous, both take noun form. 26. A us Tense. According to the sentence, the action is an action that has already occurred, in line with the tense of the discovery. rM 27. A he was not really talking about iron that has been dissolved. he was talking about bacteria - microbes which were described of being iron metabolizing and anaerobic. and when it comes to bacteria and microbes, A m I think we choose A because he was talking about the reason of the red color of the blood falls which is attributed to algae (bacteria - microbes) 28. C r. An examination of pronouns. The pronoun here refers to Blood M Falls,which is the name of a place, so use its. 29. D Word meaning analysis. The words in the ABC options are derogatory and do not correspond to the objective position of the following scientific text. Scientists "use" salt water to conduct more electricity than fresh water, and this "use" is not derogatory. 30.B Here should be a structure that is now parted as an accompanying adverb, so choose B. 31. B The sentence waiting to be sorted is a matter of conductivity, which sentence 3 begins to mention, and sentence 4 begins to say that it is ready to measure the conductivity problem. So it's best placed between 3 ta fa and 4. 32.

C The brines here don't need to add all the grids, because this brines is the master in the adverb of the tha boot, the main character of the provide, and there can be no comma between the main meanings, so you can't A m choose B. Passage 4 34. D leader is modified Cesar Chavez, the middle can not add a r. Labor rights comma, labor rights leader Cesar Chavez is the main phrase, moved M is a predicate, the main meaning in the middle can not add a comma. So choose D. 35. C Add or subtract sentences. The context is about Cesar Chavez moving the sports center to la Paz, with Chavez's move at its core, and the sentences waiting to be added have nothing to do with Chavez's movement, just a brief introduction to Tehachapis' location information. 36. A Word meaning analysis. Resident is "resident" and 所 residence is "residence", which is a ”small location, so use at not in. 37.

Depending on the tense of the context and the meaning of the sentence here,the need action occurs in the past, so it should be used in 40. A A m the general past. Merge sentence questions. A is the most concise and semantic. The although logic of option B is wrong, the CD is too long. r. 41. D The brought back in this sentence is a phrase that belongs to a coherent M expression and cannot be interrupted by symbols at will. 42.B The last sentence says to find a place to pull back from the daily struggles, the next sentence introduces la Paz's beautiful scenery, B option La Paz's idyllic setting(idyllicscenery) enhanced its function as a retreat(resort, quiet country residence) just good to play a transitional role. 43.B Word meaning analysis. The original idea was that La Paz would allow workers to relax from time to time in a tense union movement, so it's best to use the word "alternating". 44.

We see that the success rate of Figure 2 is much better than that of Figure 1, and the only explanation is how the two experiments represented by the two diagrams are different. That is, the target of the second experiment has promised to charge a fee to help. Passage 3 21. C Vocabulary questions。 Here it is direct means without intervening factors or intermediaries “Direct; without other intermediaries”,firsthand means obtained by, coming from, or being direct personal observation or experience。 ta fa 22. A Separate proof-seeking questions. Scientists have found some evidence that wild Oldfield statement? The evidence is in lines 21 to 26. us Mice can help mothers with their children. Which of the following words supports this Because a mother can become pregnant again while rM looking after a group of children, the last child may be able to help the mother take care of the next. A m 23. A The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the full text of the features. B The fault is that there is no diversity,C is wrong to say that the experience of mice when they are young can be used in adulthood , it is a lifetime thing , not related to genetics . D said a general change in r. parenting practices was observed in all mice. The article does not say so. M 24. C The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask about the functionality of the third natural segment. The difficulty of this experiment lies in the construction of the experimental environment, and how to make the two kinds of comparison objects that the experiment wants. Make sure that one mouse has not helped the mother to take her brother and sister, nor to be a mother herself; Therefore, both mice must ensure that they never mated with males before the experiment, and that the mice were sexually mature very early, so before the actual test in this paper, the two mice must only live with the females. That is, the key is in a 49-line. all- female environment, which is exactly what the third natural segment wants to illustrate. 25. A Enhanced weakening questions (inferred questions). Ask which of the following is true, which of the following limits Margulis's findings? Margulis's conclusion is about mouse parenting patterns, and it is a wild conclusion from ta fa experiments with feeding mice. So his research actually has a assumption,thatis, feeding mice and wild mice, parenting patterns are the same. If, as A chose to say, the feeding mice and the wild mice, the parenting patterns are different. By attacking the assumption of Margulis's us research, assumption research, you can limit Margulis's findings. B It doesn't matter if the mouse dad is the same dad. C Has nothing to do with the next few 26. D rM children. D It doesn't matter how many days the mouse usually leaves home. Details. Examine the experimental design and rule out which possibilities? The D option variations in paternal parenting skill means that some A m The D option is correct. male mice have been fathers, and some male mice have not. The evidence, in lines 61 to 65, ensures that the mice's parenting skills have improved from the experience of helping their mothers bring their children, not from their own experiences as mothers, nor from their r. fathers. Make sure dads don't have children between (dads must also be inexperienced). M 27. B The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 28.

B Read the picture. The experienced female first brood 1 is found on the 1st horizontal ta fa coordinatesandreads out the ordinate is 0.85 30. A A comprehensive analysis of the picture. The question asks, there is a place in the article that gives anomnibus (very),And the figure general) theory (generalization), and Figure 1 can be us seen as a concrete example of this omnibus theory, which sentence in the article is saying this rM omnibus theory? Line 1 to Line 2 of the article says very generally that many mammals have many birds, and the more children they have, the more experience they have as parents. Figure 1 describes a specific mouse's parenting ability that increases with experience. Rats are one of many 31. A A m mammals (a mammal specific ), and the case of mice is the generaltheory of a specific instance. Read the picture. Which of the following statements does Figure 2 support? r.

B Wrongly, Figure 2 does not have C Is wrong, Figure 2 doesn't have D Wrong, Figure 2 reflects that the ratio of two mice that did not start nesting after 400 milliseconds did not change, but the two ratios were not equal. Passage 4 32. C The subject of the rhetorical purpose. The full text first points out that the demands of the South are excessive, and points out that it is wrong for the North not to respond. Then refute the absurdity of the specific demands of the South, pointing out that if the North gives in, the South will be in a position to move forward, the North will never find peace, and finally urge the abolitionists in the North to ignore the demands and rebukes of the South and continue to do their own thing. So the purpose of the full text is to urge and ask the audience to take "toarouse foraction". ta fa an action. The word rally in the correct option C is very strange, 33. B Details. Ask the author what is partly the motive for the northerners' response? us Northerners fear that resisting the demands of the South will hurt them economically. The evidence is on lines 14 to 20, and because the article itself has an annotation of the mammon rM on line 15, it needs to be understood in conjunction with this annotation. 34. D A m The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 35. A Vocabulary questions。 Settle means.] resolve or reach an agreement about (an argument r. or problem) M Solve (problem); reach (agreement); end (dispute) Resolve means closer, so choose A. 36. B The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the author what he repeats "bountiful honesty"” “and "humanity” for? According to 30 to 48 lines, the author believes that there is no"bountiful honesty"and"humanity"in theSouth,so southerners saythat northernersshould be asked to ignore slavery and let theSoutherners "bountiful honesty"and"humanity"to solveslavery,that is, without pressure from the North,the South itself can rely on the moral and conscience of southerners to find a solution. This statement is ridiculous. So the author is laughing at this statement. 37. C Details. Ask the author why he made the speech, what kind of image does the author present ta fa himself as? Navigate to line 20 of you ask why I speak based on the reasons in line the puzzle and then look at the next line 21,...... it is my native land,select the correct option CC, patriot . us 38. B rM The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Lines 33 through 39 are multiple anthropomorphic. 39. A Details. Q. What consequences does the author think if the North follows the requirements of the South? Evidence in lines 41 to 43 yield to them in this one particular ...…… the future 40. C A m demands in the correct option A . The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the last question, see the analysis of the r. last question. M 41. A Details. The author does not exaggerate or accept the criticism of the South, nor points to the contradictions of the South's criticism, but rather points out that the South's criticism of the abolition of slavery in the North is demonstrating the justice of abolition (evidence in lines 66 to 73). The South referred to the northern abolitionists as fanatics,and the authorbelieved that it was in this fanaticism that there was a sacredness. Many of the founding fathers were also fanatics. The Father of the Nation was always just, so did the abolitionists of our north. 42. D The subject of the rhetorical purpose. What is the purpose of the author's use of volcanic metaphors? The volcano here refers not to the North's opposition to the Demands of the South, but to slavery in the South. The correct option D means feeling foreboding means if soon,(for ominous things) ta fa feeling that something very bad is going to Passage 5 43. D Details. The evidence is on lines 18 to 19, not on the trunk, but in areas that are not sunburnt us on the branches. rM 44. C Details. Ask the author of the first article what they think Kettlewell collected...? The evidence is on lines 26 through 29, andKettlewell's experiment has several unnatural 45. B A m places where the data collected is affected. The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the last question, see the analysis of the r. last question. M 46. C The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask what the first article was aboutusing "everytextbook"and"authorized version"? It is emphasized that Kettlewell's explanation was once widely accepted. 47. B Details. According to the second article, which of the following is true about the relationship between pollution in the woods west of Cambridge and the tweezers that live in the forest? B The selection is correct, and the evidence is in lines 69 to 73, when the bird eats much more dark tweezers than the light-colored tweezers that are eaten by the bird. This is because the pollution in this area is slowly reducing, the color of the tree is getting lighter and lighter, for the birds, the dark tweezers are becoming more and more conspicuous. Option A is wrong in the increase in the number of predators, which is not mentioned in the article. The C option is wrong in the total number article and is not mentioned. Option D ta fa says the forest is still heavily polluted, not only not a large number of dark tweezers, but also not a large number of light-colored tweezers. The article does not mention. 48. D means thing or person that is the result of an action or rM process us Vocabulary questions。Product (behavior, process) products, results 49. B A m Two relationship questions. Ask the authors of the first article what they think of the second article, Majerus Experimental Cageing? According to lines 30 to 38,, the first article considers kettlewell's There is a problem with the way the tweezers are placed, and the second article method of delivering tweezers to be r. problematic, while the second article, Majerus Experiment, solves this problem with a cage, M so the first article should endorse the practice of the second article experiment. 50. D Two relationship questions. Ask kettlewell's experimental approach mentioned in the first article for a question, and Majerus mentioned in the second article to find a way to avoid it. What's the problem? One of the problems with Kettlewell's The experimental method has a problem in the first place experimental method mentioned in the first article is that lines 21 through 27 say that Kettlewell's density of tweezers is too dense. The habits of nature's mules are not stacked, but scattered, but Kettlewell places four tweezers in a tree and changes the whole tweezers as and change as soon as one of the dark or light colors is eaten soon as one of the dark or light colors is eaten (this results in another object, with an overshoot). The second article mentions in lines 55 to 58 that Majerus came up with a way to improve, reducethe density of the delivery, and the total number of two tweezers is close to that ta fa ofnature. Note that the density in the article means the quantity of people or things in a given area or space, Chinese also translates "density", but the actual meaning is quantity. So density can correspond to the too much of option D. us 51. C last question. 52. A rM The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the last question, see the analysis of the A m Two relationship questions. Ask majerus mentioned in the second article what methods prevented the situation described in lines 32 to 35 of the first article from happening? Line 32 to line 35 says that the mule is used to flying around at night, looking for a place to rest at dawn. If put at night, the mule will fly directly to the light source, fly away, if it is put at r. dawn, also can not, because at dawn, you put, the mule does not take off, but also have to warm the body of the mule first, too hard. In the end, it's only daytime, and that's not right. M According to lines 62 to 66 of the secondarticle, Majerus figured out a way to solve the problem byletting the sun go down at night, although it was released, in a large cage, and then removed at dawn. 2020-08-international WRITING 1. A The transition sentence under the selection. The first half of the sentence said that the snow- ta fa covered ground seems to be uninhabitable, below said that the snow-covered places will also have life. So corresponding to A,"but the appearance may be deceptive", that is to say, it seems not suitable for life to live in the place can actually have life. There may be students C just said plants is not possible. rM 2. A us who want to choose C,but the following is not only about plants, but also about animals, so The principle of simplicity. All four options are one meaning, with A the most concise. 3.B loose snow is an inviumable noun because A m The main meaning is the same. The host is the the predicate verb is to be singum in the third person. 4. B r. Look at the fixed matching on, which is in the form of a form of ing after the ad M 5. C Chart questions. You can see that the subnivium of the chart corresponds to a ordinate of zero to a maximum of 1.2, but the graph above Ambient has a ordinate of 5-20,which is obviously muchsmaller than the latter. 6. D Chart questions. Find the ordinate corresponding to the praire in Ambient in the chart, which is approximately 17. 7. B The first is the sentence trunk, followed by the allowing parting as an accompanying adverb, with a comma in the middle. Selecting A results in a sentence that is not followed by a period that does not hold true. Selecting C results in the error of connecting two sentences with a comma, and the function of selecting D's word half sign and and repeats, The function repeats that the half sign itself is equivalent to a word, and the half sign cannot be equal when connecting two sentences and the half sign itself is equivalent to a word, and the half sign ta fa cannot be used at the same time as and when connecting two sentences. 8.D The first is that the temperature inside the greenhouse should be warmer,,But then it says us the temperature inside is lower than outside, so it is but later it says that the temperature inside is lower than the outside, so it is counterintuitively that means greenhouse "not rM intuitive". 9. B Combining sentence questions,option B means correctly and is the most concise at the same 10. C A m time. The other options are more long than the B option. Parallel structure. a rich ecological treasure is parallel to a potentially life. Note that this question cannot be selected with the principle of simplicity, because the concise premise is r. that in the correct, the selection of D will cause the parallel structure is not valid,the structure M of both and and after the structure must be symmetrical, otherwise the syntax is incorrect. 11. A Coherent expression of the interior can not be arbitrarily interrupted with punctuation Oh. 12. A There are two sentences before and after, so selecting BC causes a run-on error. When connecting two sentences, the sign and and can't use and at the words can no longer be inserted without words the same time and can't be followed by a comma without insertion, so D is wrong. The full period of A is just two sentences connected. 13. C For the whole opening sentence. The full text is about the benefits of interdisciplinary communication to research, so we should choose C, combinedwith the first half, the whole sentence translated into "consulting scholars outside their field of researchers can study ta fa theproblem from a new point of view", which just reflects the core content of the full text. 14. B The guiding adverb is omitted from the sentence, and this complete adverb clause should be This question is more difficult, examined the though-guided adverb from the sentence,That us omitted, this complete adverb clause should be the though collaborations were few,, because the subject and the main sentence subject are consistent, are collaborations, and the that is, though rM predicate verb is a verb, in which case the, adverb clause can be written as an omitted form, few, that is, B option. Neither other option can explain its syntax structure. 15. B 16. A A m There can be no random punctuation within a coherent expression. Transition question, which requires the sentence to optimally overdo the first two paragraphs. r. The previous paragraph is about archaeologists and computer scientists, as well as biologists in order to study the Roman Empire's road system, designed a mold to study the road network, M that is, the core theme is to use models for research, the meaning of experiments.

The main thrust of this paragraph is the results of experiments produced by the research team using their molds, which are more accurate than available from complex computer systems. The added quotation tells the story of where the mold is placed and has nothing to do with the results of the experiment. So choose in NO, but the quotation is just a message that has nothing to do with the main thrust of the paragraph, does not make a res, y and therefore selects It's just a message that has nothing to do with the subject matter of the paragraph, 19. A ta fa Vocabulary questions. The context here is that because of the success of the experiment, the team "speculated" that archaeologists could use slime mold to predict future excavation sites. Option A is "speculation", especially scientific inference,option B is"imagination" and too us casual,option C is "meditation" andoption D is "meditation, meditation". 20.

A m The main theme of the paragraph. This paragraph focuses on the problems faced by research collaboration across fields, such as the lack of founding sources and the lack of guidelines. So B,"impediment remain" perfectly ,“ reproduces the semantics. Option A only talks about the recent success of such project, but does not bridge the difficulties later in this paragraph. r.

D Add and delete sentence questions. This paragraph focuses on Kim's design experience and design features: studying at college and then designing stage costumes as a designer at Hollywood. The added sentence tells the story of Hollywood and New York, both of which ta fa were hot production locations in the film and television industry at the time, and which had nothing to do with Kim's design experience or characteristics, and therefore were irrelevant information, and chose D. us 25.

This sentence merge question, entitled Low Difficulty, only examines the simplicity of the combined sentences. ,BCDs are too redundant for A. 29. C Transition question. The previous paragraph described Kim's costumes for performers to reduce the discomfort they feel when they wear them and give them the freedom to perform various stage moves. The requirements of the Transition title are still up and down, and option A,A although"bring out performer's movement" can be inherited, because cannot form a causal relationship with the subsequent costumes for living performance must also long lasting, and the logical relationship is not “ correct. Option B is wrong in "last for years"because the previous paragraph does not mention the age of live production. Option D is nonsense, and without information, it is even less likely to play a role. Only the C option "beyond their responsiveness to movement" can reflect the thrust of the last paragraph, and there can be a side-by-side 和此句之后的 relationship that can be formed by beyond and ta fa the costumes for living performance must also long lasting after this sentence. 30. D Sentence structure. Before commas are already a sentence with a full main guest structure, us the idiom clause with only the D option in the option can convert the excess SVO components of the second Ingredients are converted into clauses to avoid half of the sentence into clauses cause run-on. 31. A rM to avoid run-on sentences, and the rest The remaining options will result of the options will A m The requirement in the question is to select an option that best supports comparison in paragraphs. The previous sentence at the anchor point said that some screen actors were wearing props for just a few days of filming, when props were hard to break. The only contrast with its composition is A the other actor needs to wear the prop suit for a long time many times, as reflected only by the A option "wear the same costume as often as as set times per r. weeks, for weeks or months on end". M 32. C Sentence structure. Because the sentence comma follows she decision to design: . SVO is already complete,so run-on sentences can only be avoided by selecting the C option to turn the previous section into a adverb clause 33. C Paragraphs, the main topic of the article. The full text is about how Kim, as a stage costume designer, designs clothes that fit the actor, does not restrict the actor's performance, and is suitable for long-term performance. Option A is about winning content and has nothing to do with the main thrust of the article. Option B is that because she has a background in visual arts, Kim experiments with painting techniques in prop suits, which is a steady, completely unsoiled message. Option D says that while designing props can be very challengeable, there But there is enough cleverness to overcome this difficulty, and it does not reflect is enough dexterity to overcome this difficulty and does not reflect Kim's In order ta fa to fit the actors to wear, for the sake of clothing design efforts to fit the actor's suit and costume, and is therefore too abstract.

The previous section said that Europe uses novel instrumentation, Obviously a very abstract concept, the reader sees here the expectation is to see the concrete one which is obviously a very abstract concept, and the reader's expectation here is to see exactly where thisinstrumentation novelty is, and the addedsentenceinformation "that were unusual in orchestral arrangement" explains i this.

C The question of logical relationship between sentences. Here's the transition sentence in the paragraph, whichsays that after performing atCarnegieHall, Europe and The Clef Club received numerous invitations to perform. The verse says,the concert(referring to the Carnegie Hall performance) also enhanced the prestige of jazz's early art form. The relationship between the two sentences is a step-by-step relationship, indicating that the performance not only enhances the performer's personal reputation but also enhances the reputation of the art form. Only the C option, C more importantly, represents a recurring relationship. The A,、D options are concession relationships,and theB options are causal, neither of which is correct. 43. B Sentence structure. The preceding is the for-guided adverb clause, which lacks a trunk, so you need to link the following sentences with commas. With the exception of the B option, ta fa none of the other options changed the fact that the sentence fragment. 44. C Sentence sorting questions. This type of sentence-sorting question is rare in exams because us it is not sorted within a paragraph, but a suitable location between several paragraphs. But it's not that difficult, adding the core message of the sentence is "found chance at a Carnegie rM Hall performance", which prompts us to look in a few paragraphs for the specific details of a large performance, because this sentence obviously just found an opportunity before the show, the normal logic will be followed by specific details of the performance. After scanning A m several paragraphs of the article, it was found that the fourth paragraph was all about the details of the performance, and the fifth paragraph began with "after Carnegie Hall Performance..." It also confirms that the fourth paragraph is about the details ofCaernegie Hall's performance, so the choice is at the beginning of the fourth paragraph, and the answer M r. is C. r.

Option A "establishes a broad framework for compason". First of all, we need to find out what extended in option A means is us spansive, and what comparison means here is not the commonly used "comparison, comparison" but "analogy". Looking at lines 2 through 3 of the first natural paragraph, the phrase "present me," "past me," and rM "future me" is like echoing each other in the same space. is to liken the three "I" analogies to the relationship between sound and echoes. In addition, lines 22 through 23, the same as the scheme, correspond to the frame work in the correct option A. A m Option B is a interference item, which is wrong because there are no competing "views or perspectives" on the same thing in the article. 2.B r. Details. Who does "we" mean in the first sentence? The evidence is in the second sentence of the article (lines 1 to 2). The M word "we" in the first sentence refers to the present we and who we had been and who we will be three people. 3. D Details. Ask the narrator's first impression of a boy in green short sleeves, according to the article, how will he cope with the frustrating situation? The evidence is in line 21, give it a good try corresponds to the correct option D in make a stand effort. In line 21, good means "ed" and he'll run hard, even though he's sure he won't win the race. 4.B Separate proof-seeking questions. The author argues that there is a link between self-confidence and success. Which sentence can provide evidence? The evidence is on lines 45 to 48, the self-assurance in the most putthe success and a link in the dry. 5.C ta fa together corresponding to the dry; the obvious winner corresponds to us The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the function of the 3rd natural paragraph is...? In this paragraph, the author talks about several possibilities for what rM kind of person it will be in the future. Because it is impossible to choose who will be in the future, the varieties of option B are wrong. Option A means "frustrated by the predictability of his older person", and predictable in this option means "unsurprisingly, conceivable; 6.C A m mediocre; unimaginative". Vocabulary questions. Line here means a series of related things, and r. the kind in the option means close. M 7.D Details. Ask the author what happened when the article story took place. According to lines 54 to 56, summer place corresponds to the visual for a season in the correct option D, and home corresponds to the lived permanently in the correct option. 8.A The main topic of the article.

Passage 2 11.D The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the rhetorical function of the full text. The full text directly puts forward some requirements for the U.S. foreign policy after Washington leaves office, which is a set of principles of foreign policy in detail. He is advising and encouraging citizens to become more knowledgeable about international relation. he does not make a clarification but he is triggering them for knowledge . he has been using the imperative sentence form the whole passage to encourage the people for gaining knowledge about international relations. plus, lines 50-52 show the same scenario 12.A ta fa Vocabulary questions. Enjoin means "requires (some kind of action, attitude)" prescribe (an action or attitude) to be performed or adopted The prescribe in the option means "predate; specify that some action us should be taken" state authoritatively or as a rule that (an action or procedure) should be The two mean close. 13.C rM carried out Details. Ask the author what kind of relationship it implies with other A m countries is in the best interest of the United States? Evidence in lines 18 to 23, against... Passionate... Amicable feelings towards all corresponds to the correct option C in the dispassionate r. generality. 14.B M The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 15.A Vocabulary questions.

Ask the evidence of the answer to the rM last question, see the analysis of the last question. 18.A The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Q. I conjure you to believe me in have? A m parentheses in line 52, what rhetorical features does fellow-citizens First, we need to know what conjure means "implore, pray" (implore someone to do something) qualify here means making a statement by adding restrictions or r. limitations or observations. A is a correct choice. he did not plan to engage the audience M 19.B Details. What does it mean to ask the last sentence? The last sentence is short. Here let us stop is followed by the last two sentences (lines 60 to 64), which are linked to the meaning of "previous agreements with other countries, for those already signed, to be faithfully executed, but to grasp a degree beyond the terms of the agreement (involving political relations), you must stop." Option A is wrong in Washington by saying that there should be only business relationships and no political alliances, while Option A seems to be saying that as long as the United States is damaged, it can't do it. According to Washington, it's also icing on the line if it's just to help other countries lose money on business, and the key is not to have political alliances. 20.C Details. Q. According to the article, the best economic policy in the ta fa United States is...? According to lines 60 to 63, as little political connections as possible correspond to the abstains from the correct option C... political us agreements. 21.A Vocabulary questions。 Engagement means "convention."”(an rM arrangement to do something or go somewhere at a fixed time) The meaning of agreement in the options is close. 22.B A m Passage 3 Details. In explaining the reasons for the sharp decline in the number of sea otters, the author adopts... Provide a good reason? r. if you read lines from 50 to 50. you can tell that he attributes his case to the decline of other sea species which have been studied earlier by his M colleagues. he meant of the prior studies on those species showed that their decline was caused he killer whales then the case of sea otter is the same. i would go with choice B. i cannot find a support for unlikely conditions in choice C 23.B The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask about the rhetorical function of the second natural paragraph. The focus of the second natural paragraph is not on "calculation results" (option A), nor on "methods of observing and collecting data" (option C), nor is it about challenging a conclusion (option D). The second natural paragraph states that there is a significant reduction in the number of sea otters, one is the rapid increase in the number of orca whales and the other is that the killer whales have changed their behavior patterns. The first possibility is very small, so focus on the second possibility. This is an introduction to the reasoning and thinking 24.D ta fa process behind the study, so choose B. The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask about the rhetorical function of the third natural paragraph. us The third natural paragraph is to say that there are three species of orca whales, the most likely to lead to a rapid decline of sea otters is one of them called transient, specifically because of the change in the basic rM food ingredients of transient (lines 31 to 36). At the same time, it was recorded that between the 1970s and the 1980s, the number of pinniped, the main food of the orca whales, had declined significantly (suggesting that they might have been eaten up quickly during this period), and then, A m immediately after the 1980s, the number of sea otters began to decline rapidly. This may be because sea otters have replaced pinniped and become the main food for orca whales. This natural paragraph is an overview of the reasoning process behind the theoretical hypothesis put r. forward by the author, so choose D. M 25.B Details. Ask the author and his team what questions the study directly answers? The article did not mention the "if the mammals have eaten up, transient orca whales will not eat fish anymore" this question, so A wrong. According to lines 25 to 26, what in offshore oceanic waters' orcas eat is not the article's concern, so C is wrong. How the recipe for resident orca whales changes is not something the article cares about, so D is wrong. According to lines 42 to 46 of the article, the author explains that because pinnipeds are no longer enough to eat, they change recipes. Line 44 of the spanded their diets corresponds to the a shift in the diet in the correct option B. So pick B. 26.C The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the ta fa last question, see the analysis of the last question. 27.A Vocabulary questions. Association means the act of associating, while associate means to come or be together as partners, friends, or us companions (and ... Social interaction, mutual company) The intertaction meaning in the option is close. rM 28.D Separate proof-seeking questions. The researchers put forward a theoretical hypothesis as to why the number of sea lions has declined. Which of the following sentences supports this theoretical hypothesis? A m Line 61 to line 64 says that analysis of population (refers to the number of orca whales and sea lions) and energy (refers to the amount of heat required by orca whales and the amount of heat that sea lions can provide as food) has shown that a relatively small change in the r. behavior patterns of orca whales can lead to a decrease in sea lions. M 29.A Vocabulary questions. Figure means "play a role, sing the main character" (play a large role in a situation or event) Example.:He figured largely in opposition to the Bill. He was a leading figure in the opposition to the bill. Option A means close. 30.C Chart questions. Because the problem is the greatest decline, the location represented by the line with the highest and lowest difference between the highest and lowest points in Figure 1 is named Kalkaska Island. 31.A Chart questions. Because, according to Figure 2, great whales stopped sharply in the 1960s and 1970s, it was just as soon as the sharp decline ta fa in harbor seals began, suggesting that the killer whales had almost eaten up in the 1960s and 1970s and started eating the harbor seals again. So option A is correct. Figure 2 does not show whether the number of killer whales has us decreased, so B is wrong. Figure 2 shows that great whales did not recover after 1970, so C error. Figure 2 shows that in 1960, great whales accounted for about 75% of rM the food of orca whales. By 1966 only, the proportion was close to 100%, so D was wrong to say that "before 1970, the great whales did not 32.D A m account for a large part of the food of the orca whale". A comprehensive analysis of the picture. Q According to the article and Figure 2, is the following statement correct? r. Lines 37 - 49 are giving a support to choice D. M Passage 4 33.C The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the author what rhetorical features are there in using "restrictive silo" and "walled garden" on lines 33 to 34 to describe certain social platforms? Focusing on the words "restrictive" and "walled," these social platforms allow people to socialize in a restricted, walled environment, and then look for answers on lines 33 and 34 before and after this sentence. These social platforms designed... Do not allow outward links (lines 26 through 28), corresponding to the correct option C in the limiting user interactions. In contrast, "diversity that the world wide web hardly envisioned"(lines 37 to 38), the world wide web is not restrictive, not walled. In addition, from the full text, the author is also critical of these social platforms. So pick C. 34.B features are there to quote Bell in line 4? ta fa The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the author what rhetorical The first thing to find Bell's sentence means that "the ecological environment of our press has changed the most in the last five hundred us years". This is clearly an unprecedented change in the press in recent years. rM 35.A Concentration means "concentration; assembly" (action of gathering 36.C A m close), and the centering in the option means close. Details. Ask the authors, how do news publishers respond to the rise of social media companies? Evidence in lines 46 to 49, the rise of tailor in the trunk of the becomes r. dominant forces corresponding to the question ... To the demands M corresponds to the modeify contents in the correct option C. 37.C The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 38.B Details. The author suggests that "news written in the public interest" in lines 55 to 56 is increasingly being replaced by what kind of news? Evidence On lines 54 to 58, many news organizations move away from "news written in the public interest" and instead write "news that chases web views and clicks (like junk food)." 39.D Details. Ask the author to criticize the credibility of online news, and the author anticipates what views might be expressed against the author's criticism. ta fa The evidence is in lines 68 to 70, and former journalists have made mistakes, written false news, sometimes carelessly, sometimes deliberately. Line 68's harvey got things wrong corresponds to line 70's us by intent corresponds to the correct option in D purposely. 40.C The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the rM last question, see the analysis of the last question. 41.D Chart questions. Ask the respondents below a few statements about the A m respondents' views on news sources, which one is best supported by Figure 1? A) News in paper newspapers is more accurate and reliable than websites other than social media. According to Figure 1, the first bar in r. the second set of bars is lower than the first bar in the third set, so A is wrong. M B) Websites other than social media analyze and comment on news better than television. According to Figure 1, the third bar in the third set of bars is lower than the third bar in the first set, so B is wrong. C) Paper newspapers are better at bringing new news than social media platforms. According to Figure 1, the second bar in the second set is lower than the second bar in the fourth set, so C is wrong. D) News on sites other than social media is more accurate and reliable than social media platforms. The first bar in the third set of bars is higher than the first column in the fourth set, so D is correct. 42.B A comprehensive analysis of the picture. What information does Figure 2 actually show that contradicts the content of lines 54 through 75 of the article? i would not go with A as a challenge with the passage because the passage did not make a specificity of France and Italy. Choice B is ta fa correct. Passage 5 43.B us Vocabulary questions. Resolve means "solve a problem, dispute, argue, etc." (settle or find a solution to a problem, dispute, or contentious matter) rM The meaning of the settle in the option is close. 44.A Details. Ask Estrada's view in Passage 1 that if Saturn's rings had been A m built earlier, what would have happened to Saturn's rings? In lines 15 to 18, Estrada argues that there is a sharp contrast between the composition of the inner edge of Saturn's rings that are now observed, and that if Saturn's rings are really old, there should be no r. sharp contrast on this composition. Sharp contrast is reversed and M corresponds to the unform in its makeup in the correct option A. 45.D The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 46.D The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask Passage 2 what rhetorical features did the last natural paragraph mention of dinosaurs? The last natural segment is that the results suggest that Saturn's rings were formed during the Cretaceous period on Earth, the age of dinosaurs on Earth. Because generally speaking, the reader about when the dinosaurs were animals, probably have an impression, a little familiar, so the mention of dinosaurs is to show that the formation of Saturn's rings is not in a particularly early period, but in the Cretaceous period, relatively not so far away. So choose D. ta fa 47.C Details. Ask the authors of Passage 2 what they think is the part of Saturn's orbital change? Evidence in lines 59 to 62, the tides... enlarge ... orbits so fast us corresponds to the international in the dry and the tidal activity in the correct option C. rM 48.B Vocabulary questions. encounter means "encountering difficulties or disadvantages, encountering; facing" (unexpectedly experience or be faced with something difficult or hostile) 49.A A m Face in the option means close. Two relationship questions. The first article is an overview of two r. diametrically opposed views (one that Saturn's rings were formed early, the other that Saturn's rings were formed late) and their respective M evidence, and the second presents only one view and its evidence. So A is right. Both articles talk about hypothesis and evidence, the second article focuses not on methods, so B error, the second article research is not based on the theoretical model of the first article, so C error. The first article describes more than just one hypothesis, but multiple hypothesis; So D error. 50.B Details. Ask what kind of evidence is mentioned in both articles? Evidence is in lines 47 to 48 of Pasage 1 and Passage 2 from lines 66 to 67. 51.D Two comprehensive analysis questions. Ask Esposito in Passage 1 what is most likely to be the most likely response to Passage 2's assertions ta fa about Saturn's rings in lines 89 to 93? Lines 89 through 93 say that Saturn's rings were still relatively young (100 million years ago), and according to lines 19 to 28, this is partly a question of Esposito's claim that it was "generated 100 million years us ago." If Saturn's rings had been built 100 million years ago, it would have been possible that only a satellite or an all-ice object had hit Saturn and been crushed. But the problem is that in the last few billion years, rM no cerbo has orbited Saturn or the solar system, and it is impossible to be crushed and supplied to Saturn Rings as a raw material for debris. The iccy body on line 24 is torn apart, corresponding to the debris in the 52.C A m correct option D. The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the M r. last question, see the analysis of the last question. Writing Passage 1 1. B Inventors, designers, craftspeople are all side by side. The three follow the formulas of A, B, and C side by side. ta fa 2. A Add or subtract sentence questions. The sentence to be added is an explanation of the previous concept, which is very important to this article, us and such a sentence must be added. 3. C Express style questions. AB belongs to the oral expression, D belongs to rM pompous expression is a flamboyant expression, can not be selected. 4. A The article only talks about libraries, but not librarians, so don't choose A m C. The article doesn't talk about other ways of libraries can attract more patrons, other ways, so there is no way to say so there's no way to say that makerspaces are one of many ways not D. The main part of the article is also not to say that library's current facilities and services are r. not related, need to be adjusted (adapt) in order to remain relevant, so do not choose B. This question chooses A, the last sentence of the article M also said makerspaces offer new way for libraries to enrich their communities. . So the whole text is mainly about making patrons a better service for the library. 5. D Excluding AC (A's material repeats, C's also doesn't need it), B's to do is not structured correctly, and here should be a noun or adjective to modify machines, so you can only choose D. That is, materials for X, Y, and Z. Where X is arts, Y is crafts, Z is building and repairing machines. 6. D Transition sentence. The last sentence says That FabLab provides Jacobs with tools such as vinyl cutter and laser engraver (i.e. and so on resources), and the next sentence says that FabLab also provides workshops and events, so the best transition sentence is "otherthan that", ta fa which is option D. 7. A Transition sentence. This sentence is followed by the content and configuration of makerspaces that can be tailored to the user's needs, so us you need to match option A and say, "Because these places (i.e. makerspaces) are versatile." BCD has nothing to do with context, neither mentioned below. 8. B rM the information mentioned above nor the information that will be Word meaning analysis. This sentence is to say that the library "adjusts" A m its main building so that the interior can accommodate such activities. The context doesn't say what's wrong with the library, so there's no problem with remedy, revise, and correct. r. 9. B Tense. Here according to the context (provided) and sentence meaning M should be the general past. 10. D Sentence connection. Here a total of two sentences, there are already words because, there is no need for so, there is no need for a period. Although therefore is an adverb, does not cause too many interconneth problems, but there is a because, the meaning of this layer is not needed. So, between the previous because clause and the main sentence after it, just use a comma. 11. B Pronouns. Here you need to refer to the creators, so use the plulus theem. Passage 2 12. A ta fa The role of this hall in the revival and protection of traditional jazz has been discussed below. 13. C us Parallel structure. no air conditioning, no stage, And.no food or drink Parallel side by side, then symmetry is required. rM 14. D Logical words. Yet says "but", the previous sentence said that the audience in this Hall conditions are not particularly good, no air conditioning did not eat or drink, the second sentence said thatin the past A m 50 years, there are still a lot of people to come. The middle of the two sentences should be the logic of the transition. 15. C r. The pronoun here refers to The Preservation Hall so it's sing sing sing? M 16. D Combining sentence questions and following the principle of simplicity, ABC is not as concise as D. 17. C Express style. AD contains spoken expressions, such as A's lots of of, D's oftons of, and B belongs to the transitional flamboyant, with many is good, not a plethora of. 18. A Fixed matching, in popularity refers to "popularity". 19. C The connection between the two sentences can be made with a sign. D belongs to the run-on sentence, and the AB option belongs to the ta fa sentence fragment. 20. B Tense. There is a time signal word "over the years" in the sentence to indicate what happened in the past, excluding AC, can not use a virtual us tone, exclude D. B is now completed to represent what has happened in the past time period. rM 21. A The fourth sentence says that the last generation of musicians took over the management of this hall from their parents, taking over the management of the hall from the younger generation, just after the fifth A m sentence Ben as the child, who took it from his parents and Manages tasks Jaffes. 22. B r. Choose one that is most similar to the previous example, the super single room, which says that the floor is worn out and reflects the rustic truth, M so the last four options are most similar to the paintings on the walls are long ago musicians, but also reflect the rustic authenticity. Passage 3 23. C Tense. The sentence is preceded by a time ad line,20th century, which is the time of the past, so use the general past. 24. C The principle of simplicity. A's job andposition repeat,B's brief the back a time and few month repeat, D completely delete and lose the "frequent change of work" layer of meaning. 25. D The main meaning is the same. The main language of this sentence is the ta fa results complex. 26. C The picture combines the questions. AB does not conform to chart data. us D, although in line with the chart, but not in line with the point of the paragraph, the paragraph says that people's attitudes have changed, then according to the need before and after the time difference, rM intergenerational differences, D is still talking about the same group of people. C is consistent with the chart and shows that the attitudes of people in the newera (people born in 8 2-02) are not consistent with those 27. C A m of previous people. Pure chart questions. ABD does not conform to chart data at all. r. 28. D Parallel structure, from doing... To do, the previous mastering uses the M ing structure, and the back learning also uses the ing structure. 29. D Logical words. The first two sentences are all about the benefits of changing jobs often, so you can connect with moreover. 30. D There is a in front, so candidate can only use sing sings, experience after do not need to add all the grids, do not need to express the meaning of "", so choose D. 31. B The main thrust of the paragraph. The paragraph is mainly about frequent job-hopping is not very good, long stay in a company is also good. 32. B ta fa There are two sentences before and after, which cannot be connected with a comma, but a sign can be. If you add suggest to ing, you can keep the comma, but option D uses a half sign again, so you can't choose it. us 33.A Passage 4 34. C rM Merge sentences. BC is not concise enough, D missed the information. The title requirements are consistent with the description above the A m paragraph, and the first second line of the paragraph says that voyager 1 is first spacecraft in history to exit the heliosphere, so this is an unprecedented (unprecedented) achievement. r. 35.B The last paragraph says that scientists didn't celebrate the achievement M until later, and the next paragraph is about why scientists only started celebrate later. Because of the instrument failure of the initial, the second instrument made them aware of something, only to conclude that the original as early as a year ago voyager 1 had been out of the heliosphere. 36. D The article wants to express "charged particles called plasma", which corresponds to the English structure of "charged particles of plasma", or "charged particles of plasma" 37. B Logical words. The previous sentence said that the scientist's first attempt at instrument failed, and then said that the second instrument gave the scientist inspiration, so the middle should be a turning ta fa relationship. 38.D Pronouns. Using other options can lead to unclear fingering, with only D us pointing out the oscillation directly, with a clear and correct meaning. 39. A Logical hosts are consistent. Scouring (thorough search) Who sent out rM this action, who should do the main language of the dash section, then only people can issue scour (thorough search) this action, so only need 40. D A m to see which option is the main language of the person. The tat clause here is decorated with shell, needs to use a qualified clause clause, so you can't add a comma (of course, the tha can't guide the nonqualified clause, and here all four options are using the tat so it's certainly Dutch sister because it is specific, so we r. a qualified clause). And the must say exactly who, then the person behind the name is not to delete M the core of the modified noun, can not be separated by a comma, otherwise it becomes a can be deleted the same language. 41.C Add or subtract sentence questions. The phrase waiting to increase or decrease is another achievement of Oort and has nothing to do with Oort cloud,so theaddition interrupts the consistency of the context. 42. C The title requirement indicates that voyager 1 is far from the edge of the solar system, and that choice C (which will take 30,000 years to cross the Alt Cloud) indicates that voyager 1 is far from the edge of the solar system. Note that the Alt Cloud is the edge of the solar system, and it means that the Alt Cloud means the solar system. 43.D ta fa The principle of simplicity. ABC has d'Italic Repetition. 44. A Speaking has one meaning:Conveying meaning as though in words For "greetings expressed in language". scientists greetings refer to us example, 'she gave him a speaking look',so speaking Above the Voyager 1, which are trying to launch beyond the solar system, there are rM pictures, some voices, sounds from Earth's nature.

"The principled beliefs of the U.S. political and economic system are (advanced) and put the U.S. ahead of the rest of the world," Hoover said. In addition, some policy methods are based on beliefs that will destroy America's foundations. Should we now deviate from those advanced principled beliefs in order to adopt such a policy approach? "Hoover's idea is that we Americans should recognize the smell and not throw away good things for the sake of the second thing. So he's taking his position through questions, when the American people ta fa face a choice (whether to continue war-time government interference in business or to return to america's original principles), and he supports the return of us America's original principles. 42. A rM Details. According to the article, Hoover suggests that what has happened to the recent interaction between Republican and Democratic lawmakers?

According to lines 21 to 24, the estimate that the figure is too large is self-defeating and will make effortsto protect A m biodiversity hoples, so A is wrong. B) The credibility of estimates that are not statistically based should be considered to be high without statistical-based estimates. From 84 to 86 lines, option B is correct. r. C) Estimates with a broader "marginal error" are not accurate enough. Wrong, M because the three scientists were in favor of using estimates with "marginal errors", which they themselves used.

C rM punctuation, the whole is a coherent expression, meaning "let one's own field is A m start down. Here's how Andrews got his degree, worked for a while in insurance companies and banks, then at the Department of Agriculture, and says she likes different theories to new issues, suggesting that actuarials are committed to "finding practical solutions to real-world problems." That's what attracted r. Andrews into the field. 4. B M Logical hosts are consistent. The whole sentence is accompanied by doing stints at an insurance company (which has been done in an insurance company for some time), so only one can do the main phrase. 5. A start down. The next paragraph says that Andrews' team helped develop a public health information system that helps USDA conduct predictive analytics in many ways, so the chalenge that team A faces is "detecting how USDA uses predictive analytics" to help USDA better use predictive analytics. 6. D The main meaning is the same. Compile and organize are the predicates in the sat clause, while theth refers to the previous system, sings, so-called verbs to add s. 7. A Express style. Of the four options, only monitor is the most standardized ta fa expression of "supervision", while the others are spoken expressions. 8. D Combining sentence questions, ABC is not concise. us 9. A The title asks for an example to support Andrews' contribution to her field , which rM is the predictive analysis of actuarials , so only A meets this requirement , and when it comes to training actuarials in the application of predictive analysis , that is her contribution to the field . None of the other options mention the contribution 10. A A m of predictive analytics. Tense. What the original text is trying to say is that I don't know if predictive line analysis will become more common among actuarials. So use the general future. 11. D r. The full text of the main thrust. The full text says what Andrews has contributed M to predictive analytics as an actuary, so Andrews' presence increases the likelihood that predictive analytics will be rolled out in actuarial science. 12. B Request to undertake subsequent references. The follow-up quote says, "Isn't there anything sacrosanct?" "Obviously criticizing Pride and Prejudice and Zombies ruined the previous Pride and Prejudice classic. So pick B. 13. B The principle of simplicity. The other options have a degree of repetition. 14. C The original text wants to express "her family's expectations", so there needs to be all the grids behind the family, and the expectations are not needed later. 15. B All events in the book or story are tackled correctly using the present tense. but ta fa when he needed to talk about a book or a story as a whole which has been made long time ago, he had to use the past tense. choice B is correct 16. B us This here refers to Elizabeth. The original sentence means to present her intellectual strength and rebellious spirit (i.e., refusal to obey social customs) by rM portraying the hero Elizabeth as a fearless zomie hunter. 17. D All that is said below is the meaning of mash-ups in teaching. 18. C A m Word meaning analysis. The argue here means .:If you argue that something is true, you state it and give the reasons why you think it is true. 19. A r. Two nouns are side by side, with no commas in the middle. 20. B M The main meaning is the same. The main language of this sentence is popularity, and countless nouns are handled like three singles. 21. D Add or subtract sentences. No, because the context of the original text is a genre of comprehensive commentary mash-up, there is no need to include a specific message about Sense's book in the middle, which is an inexplicable message. 22. A all writers should consider penning a mash-up. this restates the whole argument in the passage and matches the preceding sentences 23. C Starting from the dashed part of the question, is the scholars and professionals of the same language, so can only be people to do the lifesionals of the same ta fa language, and, the back of the side-by-side components are also people, so 23 questions should choose ecologists, and need to follow the formula of three and above side by side. us 24. A One obvious signal word in the sentence waiting to be sorted is the think definition, indicating that a definition appears earlier, so sentence 1 is just about rM the definition of geography.

B ta fa nuclear power plants, etc., while BD is an irregular and irregular expression, so The word fortunately at the beginning of the paragraph tells us that the whole rM paragraph below is about the lucky side of geography, and the following two sentences do say the lucky side of geography, so the logic of "and" should be in the middle of the two sentences. 33. C A m Word meaning analysis. Behind the dash section is the human language (that is, those refers to people), so you should use assure instead of ensure or secure (these two need to be picked up later to do the guest language), and insure is on insurance, that's not right. r. 34. B M ACDs are run-on errors. 35. B Transition sentence. The last paragraph is the question, the next paragraph is the answer. 36. D There is no obvious logical relationship between the front and back sentences. In the previous sentence, the researchers assessed the role of acupuncture in patients with chronic pain, and the following describes some of the characteristics of chronic pain. The two sentences are neither causal nor examples, nor side by side. 37. C This sentence in the either or is a fixed match, in which certainly can not appear colon, so exclude BD, and AC's with front has a comma, so this need not be considered, the problem is or before the comma, if not, will make people think that ta fa the content behind or is followed by the with inside, but in fact or is followed by the wire in front of the other, so or must have a comma before the with part of the insertion, so can be deleted, This allows or to follow the front either. us 38.

They concluded that the increase in rainfall in many studies may have been caused by changes in the weather rather than by man-made artificial rainfall. (Lines 25 through 29). Looking at lines 30 to line 35. one example is that in one place where rainfall has increased for six years in a row, previously thought to be caused A m by artificial rainfall,Alpert found that there was a tornado change in the area that was consistent with the change in rainfall (possibly anincrease in rainfall caused by a tornado, r. rather than artificialrainfall).

Lines 75 through 77 are about The line is about scientists using a technique, that is, passing. a technique used by scientists to observe the dynamics And. atmospheric modeling of clouds that have been artificially snowed. The C option is the confusion option, and lines rM us 75 through 77 do not explore the method,but simply introduce the new technology. 28.B Two comprehensive analysis questions. Ask which of the following statements best describes A m the relationship between the two articles. Both articles talk about artificial rainfall(snow),),The first article concluded that artificial rainfall had no effect, and that the increase in rainfall in some studies was actually caused by natural weather changes (No. a common human practice, and the first concludes that artificial rainfall r. has no effect, and that the increase in rainfall in some studies is actually caused line to by M natural weather changes (lines 25 to 29); 48。 29.D Two comprehensive analysis questions. Ask which of the following statements about the design of the experiments/studies mentioned in the two articles is most appropriate? Alpert's approach in the first article is to the method of study is to analyze large amounts of data that already exist before (line 17 to 24), and the research in the second article does a new experiment (named. the research in the second article does a new experiment (i.e., The experiment, line an experiment called WWMPP, lines 39 to through 45). 30.A Two comprehensive analysis questions. How does the second article describe the WWMPP ta fa Project. project compared to the first article's introduction to Alpert's research? The first article, lines 28 to 29, through change weather patterns instead of the use of cloud seeding, is actually not effective for cloud seeding this matter, is quite certain.。 us In the second article on the WWMPP project, theWWMPP results are less positive.

C)think that (some in academia) can't be persuaded by the delusions about how voters will make decisions. D)Worried and frightened about the power of their research on voters' very vulnerable findings, which can be understood here as persuasiveness or influence. The article starts with lines 6 through 15 and says Political scientist usually assume ..., which is the correct option C says certain assumptions, followed by line 16 of the article, which says ta fa werewen't so sure, expressing disbelief in the views expressed on lines 6 through 15. Weren't us so sure corresponds to the union in the correct option C.。 36.B rM Separate proof-seeking questions. How much time and effort do many voters feel about the outcome of the vote on a motion to pool money for schools? The difficulty with this question is that in the trunk, deeply invested in sth this diom, which A m means "invested a lot of time and effort, very concerned about something" (to have given a lot of time and work to something and care about about it very much.) Example.:She is deeply invested in this project and wants it to succeed. She invested a lot of time and energy in the project in the hope that it would be a success. r.

(of an event or circumstance) sudden and striking Example.:There had been a dramatic increase in recorded crime. There has been a significant increase in criminal records. The striking meaning in the option is close. 38.A The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask what the rhetorical function of the last natural ta fa segment is? The last natural paragraph (lines 65 to 70) states that "in statewide voting, the change in the number of 10,000 votes (caused by different polling places) does not seem to be significant." us ("The change in the number of 10,000 votes caused by different polling places" here refers to the experimental results mentioned in lines 49 to 52 of the article.) But 10,000 votes would be rM enough to influence the outcome if there was a very small gap between the two sides. In the 2000 presidential election, for example, Bush and Gore had a 1,000-vote gap (not just statewide, but nationally). Thus, in some cases,1000 votes is enough to influence the A m outcome of the election, not to mention 10,000 votes. . . Lines 65 through 66 "In statewide voting, the change in the number of 10,000 votes (caused by different polling places) does not seem to be significant". This sentence is exactly one objection (criticism of the author's argument) that may be raised by those who oppose the author's argument. The author comes out on his own initiative and then deals with this r. criticism in a larger context (in most cases, 10,000 votes does not matter in large elections, M but 10,000 is important when some candidates are close to each other). This has also happened, as in the 2000 Bush and Gore campaigns. So choose A. 39.D Infer the question. What are the weaknesses of the author's assertion in the last sentence of the full text? This question is relatively novel, the need for candidates to master what kind of general reasoning is a strong reasoning. The authorconcludes by saying "Triggers matter",which means that "some of the factors that trigger the voter reactionat the polling place are not ineffective." "The last natural paragraph of the article is to say, "Even if the gap of 10,000 votes sounds so small, it is important in some large elections in which the total number of votes won by candidates is very small". But there's a problem with reasoning here. The change of 10,000 votes may,It may not be the polling place. not be due to the change of 10,000 votes caused by the triggers of the polling place, ta fa or it may be caused by other factors. So you can't derive triggers from a changeof 10,000 matters votes. Triggers have an impact on human behavior and need to be introduced with general reasoning. The article in the line gives a detailed example. a detailed example of how triggers Examples that affect people's behavior are derived. affect human behavior on lines us 23 through 26, and concludes that triggers have an effect on the general rule. General reasoning is from "special specific" to "general" reasoning, in the process of general reasoning, 40.A A m too few examples. rM we should try to find more specific examples to reach a general conclusion. The author gives Chart questions. First, find the two data columns B corresponding The two data of the column, that is. to the object described in the question, namely 0.583(Initial results)). and 0.560(Results after controlling for the demographics).( Then pass on the options one by r. one. M Because the entire table ABC three columns are written in increased percentage likelihood,and the values in the table are positive, indicating that the ratio of people voting in favor has increased, option A is correct. Because 0.583 is obviously not equal to 0.560,option B is incorrect. Because there is no information about other initiatives in the table, option C is wrong. Option D is incorrect because there is no information in the table about the proportion of a group of all voters. 41.B A comprehensive analysis of the picture. "The table ends with a row of B column and. and C data column of data, these two data (i.e. 0.560 and 0.529) do the author and his team any favors? ta fa 0.560 Results after controlling for demographics,That's what lines 54 through 64 of the article are. us Line 56 means "demographics" (especially those of age composition and income), for example, where voters are older and where there are more high-income voters. All of these rM factors may affect the outcome of the vote. Line 54 of control is a less-than-material verb that means "in reality." is a less-than-object verb that means "set up a control group in practice or study; take into account some other A m external factor that may affect the results of an experiment when doing an experiment or reaching an experimental conclusion" (to incorporate controls in an experiment or take into account extraneous,一 and prepositions. factor that affects the results of an experiment), r. general and preposition for. M In this paper, other factors that may affect the outcome of the vote, such as differences in political preferences or demographic characteristics in different regions, are also taken into account, ruling out the possibility that these other factors, rather than the "different voting places" that the study focuses on in this paper, have led to differences in experimental results. The regencyal differences in the 55th line, political preferences and demographics, in addition to the venues where people vote factor, can also give voter's support for the school-funding. Initiative gives other alternatives of explanation. Passage 5 42.D The meaning of inspect in the alternative is close. us 43.B ta fa Vocabulary questions. Check means "check, check, or look at appraisingly or appreciatively" rM The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask what rhetorical features are in brackets on lines 22 through Line, 24, line 27 to. through 24 30? This question is similar to question 41. In addition to the fact that there are no lizards on the islands, other factors such as the size of the islands, the distance of the islands, and the A m highest height of vegetation on the islands (can be said to be factors, can also be said,It can also be said. to be variables variable variables) also have an impact on the number of spiders. Lines 22 through 24, line 27 to 30 are bracketed to show that the author has taken these other M r. factors into account in his research. 44.C Details. Q It can be inferred from the article that observational research in the early1980s was important, in part because? The article mentions that the 1982 study was conducted on lines 24 to 30, and then says that the results of the study are "quite different from ... Famous one... in which diversity increased with with with international" (lines 30 through 32). The quite different corresponds to the inconsistent in the correct option C. Diversity increased with with the results of a 1966 study that also looked at the relationship between spider's diversity and lizards' predation of spiders. 45.D The question of seeking proof.

According to the article, compared with doing research by observing nature, the most important advantage of doing research by doing experiments is in...? rM To do this, like question 41, understand what control for means in the correct option B B. Control is a less-than-object verb that means "set up a control group in an experiment or study; take into account some other external factor that may affect the results of an experiment when doing an experiment or reaching an experimental,一 and prepositions. (to control incorporates in an experiment or study; ; take into account A m conclusion" an extraneous factor that might affects the results of an an experiment),generally and prepositions are used in combination. ) ,Having after the meaning, and then find the article No. figured out what control for means, r. and then finding lines 35 to 39 of the article,observation cannot rule out factors other M than"there It is impossible to rule out a few other factors besides "there are lizards and no lizards" that can explain "the spiders on each island." are lizards and no lizards" that can explain the results of the experiment Not the same" factors for the results of this experiment (lines 37 to to 38, eliminate alternatives), the options of the system to the correct lines, options..

Also known as "enhanced questions", this type of question most often appears in the GMAT Appears in the exam. exam, in the SAT exam is less common, there is a certain difficulty. Ask which of the following is true, and you can best support the explanation given in lines 64 through 67. Line 64 to line 67 says that with lizards, the number of spider species is small, partly because lizards eat spiders, and for one reason, some spiders eat, lizards eat. Lizards rob spiders of food. Originally because the lizard size is Spider size is small, everyone's. large, spider size is small, everyone's expectation is that the spider eats something different from what the lizard eats, the spider should eat some smaller animals, the lizard should eat some bigger animals. But in fact, their recipes overlap, and there are quite a number of animals that spiders eat and lizards eat. A) The total biomass (total weight) of food eaten by spiders on closed and unsealed islands with lizards is less than the total biomass (total weight) of food eaten by spiders on closed ta fa islandswithout lizards. This shows that as long as there are lizards, the total weight of food that spiders eat in their stomachs is lower, indicating that some things are snatched and eaten by lizards. You can also support the contents of lines 64 through 67. us B) Spiders on closed islands without lizards have a much higher survival rate than spiders on closed andunseeded islands with lizards. In addition to this condition, it may be because rM lizards rob spiders of food to eat, but it may also be caused by lizards eating spiders (line 63,, the obvious one is predation). That Line to line, but cannot rule out the lizard will eat spiders this factor, so it is not best to support line is, B, although lines 64 to 67 can supported, the lizard's can to eat spiders can be rule out, so it is not best option to support lines 64 to 67. A m C) On unseeded islands and closed islands with lizards, there are fewer cobwebs near the ground (which lizards can easily reach) than on closed islandswithout lizards. This option only describes the lizard's predation of spiders. So wrong. D) On unsealed islands, the average size of insects eaten by spiders is much larger than that r. of insects eaten on closed islands with lizards and closedislands without lizards. Because the M situation referred to by D does not show a difference in the average size of the insects eaten by spiders on the island without lizards (the key is to compare the key variable of whether there are lizards or no lizards), the situation described by D said this situation, also can not support the contents of lines 64 to to 67. 50.C Chart questions. Q What is the average number of spider species on the island where the lizards were removed? As found on the chart, the right-most solid The dot and horizontal coordinates are overall reads, and the reading values are between 75 and ( 100).. 51.D Chart analysis questions. Q Chart 1 shows which of the following information is most powerful? ta fa The three curves on this chart mainly indicate that there is no effect of lizards on the number of spider species, and only D mentions two animals in the option, and D can be selected quickly. The number of insects eaten in different seasons(option A), the number of individual spiders in differentseasons (option B) and the change in the number ofindividual lizards us (option C) are all information not shown on the option), the number of individual spiders in rM different seasons.( chart. 52.C A m Chart analysis questions. Q Chart 2 best supports which of the following statements? According to Figure Only in lizard recipes. 2,,Lepidoptera accounts for only 1.9% of lizard recipes, so,So remove. removing Lepidoptera won't have a significant impact on lizard recipes. So option A is wrong. r. Since We have no way of knowing which type of body size information. there is no information M in Figure 2 about the size of the various preys, we have no way of knowing which prey is large And size, what kind. which prey is small, so option B is wrong. Because there are as many as nine predatory. preys for Anolis lizards in Figure 2, 9 it is clear that it is not dependent on one food. So the C option is correct. Option D is incorrect because there is no sample size for food for spiders and lizards, according to Figure sample size 2. D Sample size means to study the food of spiders, to catch, for example, hundreds of spiders, to see what food is in their stomachs, what percentages each, and to catch hundreds of lizards, to see what food they have in their stomachs, and what percentages each. Choice D means that A lizard, but only caught yes, when doing research, caught. 300 lizards were caught while doing research, but only 100 M r.

The original text was meant to express "comprehensive repairs and r. major repairs", so we needed to choose a word to mean "significant" meaning, which could Potent is powerful,definite is ok, sure,conclusive is conclusive and M only be significant. indisputable. None of these meanings can be understood as "important, significant". 4.B Merge sentences. B means correct and concise. ACD is very long and unsothyst. 5.C The singeration of pronouns. This question examines the use of remnective pronouns and needs to be consistent with the previous nouns, so AD exclusion, coupled with the principle of "main system table" consistent,is preceded by "teams are"”So the following must be a plugy so the following must be a plugnity musicians, so, so choose C. ta fa 6.C Word meaning analysis. Than means comparison,thenis then meaning, the original text says "diagnose the problem and then give customer advice", so you should choose then. Advice is noun suggestion,advise is verb suggestion, and verb suggestions should be selected here, rM us side by side with diagnose. 7.B Logical words. The previous sentence says that the technician provides advice on diagnosing A m the problem, and the latest sentence gives To give a specific example, use. a specific example of the problem, using the trumpet question as an example. So the relationship between the r. two sentences is for instance. M 8.A Rules for punctuation in the three side-by-side. The formula when you connect the three side-by-side with or is A,B,,or C. Whether ABC is three words or three sentences is this public style. Students encounter or connect the three side by side with a set of formulas can be. Here are the three sentences of valves have become sticky,,the joints have developed air leaks, and the mental parts have been dented. 9.D The main meaning is the same. The host here is the complex number of the means, so only D conforms to the main meaning. This question does not have to consider the tense, with the main meaning of the same knowledge point can already exclude the ABC three options. 10.C Sentence sorting. This question is more difficult. The sentence waiting to be inserted has the ta fa signal word other skills, so,Two different words must be said before and after this sentence. two different words must be said before and after the sentence,,So. then the logic of the word other can be established. So he in the fifth sentence refers to Refers to. Tom,and her in the sixth In a sentence. sentence refers to Michelle,who happens to be twodifferent people, us in line with the logic of other. The equivalent inserted sentence also says"open their own shops",and the sixth sentence is just good to say is Michelle start her own business,so put rM after the fifth sentence can beinherited,C is the correct answer. A m 11.A All in this question emphasize pronouns(PRON-EMPH),placed after nouns to refer to and emphasize the preceding nouns, the example sentence of the Colins dictionary is as follows:Milk, oily fish and eggs all contain vitamin D. all (Milk, oily fish, and eggs all r. contain vitamin D.) At this point, no punctuation is required behind and before all. This is M the structure of this question, so select A without any punctuation. 12.D start down. It's all about music, not all kinds of art forms, not artists and software developers,so choose D. 13.B The main meaning is the same. The main language of this sentence is the spread of software,which belongs to a third-person singular, so thepredicate verb should be in singular form. 14.A ta fa Fixed match. To the loss of sb/sthis a fixed match that means "not good, bad, bad". 15.B us The main meaning is the symmetry of the consistent and parallel structures.

The result of the experiment is the algae had stored thelight'senergy; and then later using that stored energy to construct r. sugars in the dark. This means that light is not necessarily required when a chemical reaction occurs, because algae uses the amount of light energy that was previously stored. Therefore, M the D option meets the requirements of the topic "Interpreting experimental results".

If it is a permanent army, that is, usually pay taxes to support the army, when paying taxes can be stipulated that the rich pay more, the poor pay less.

The article first describes the phenomenon of some scientists detecting plumes in Eurora,then on lines 4 6 to 58, three explanations are proposed, and then analyzes whether these explanations are valid (well-grounded or justifiable). 45.C。 ta fa Separate proof-seeking questions. Researchers have gone to great great expense to prove that the first observed plumes phenomenon is true. That's proof? Evidence onlines 4 3 to 46, achival data or in new search by other telescopes shows that many more scientists went to archival data to observe with other telescopes to do a lot of new research, trying to verify previous observations. Note that line4 of the manifest is less than the object verb, meaning see. 46.A。 rM us The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask therhetorical function of lines 4 6 to 53? Lines4 6 to 53 provide two explanations for "Why plumes sometimes see, sometimes don't see", one of which is that Europa may have a plus when it is at a particular location in its orbit. Another explanation is that plume is only a one-off phenomenon caused by an asteroid or comet hitting Europa. A m 47.A。 r. The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask therhetorical features of lines 54 to5 8.

BCD has different degrees of repetition. 3.D。 us be it by... is a adverb clause (just inverted), placed in front of the end of the sentence can be added comma or dash, there is no comma option, so choose dash. 4.B。 5.D。 A m rM This question is more special, not to ask the full text of the main thrust, but to ask the full text of one of the main theme, so B election although can not summarize the full text, but is an important part of the full text, in the next paragraph to be discussed, so in line with the meaning of the subject, and with the whole sentence before the while can be connected, constitute "although the restoration of art needs special training, but (all of this is worth it). " M r. The symbols around the insertion should be symmetrical, and in many cases, very old ones this part is the insertion, because the to such treatment of the to and the previous subject is a fixed match, the whole is the structure of subject X to Y, so the middle does not belong to the part of the structure, that is, the insertion, followed by dashes, the front also with dashes to use. 6.A。 Tense. The same time thing is described here, not a specific past event, so in general the present time, it is also consistent with the context tense. 7.A。 Connecting link. It says that art restorers need to be very careful in their work, and below it says that restorers often have to learn their skills in class, which is to prepare for the restoration of works of art, so the best transition sentence is A. 8.C。 Paragraph summary sentence. Option C means that this training ensures that future restorers understand the process of creating and restoring works of art. That's just what the paragraph says. ta fa 9.D。 At the end of the sentence, you can use commas, colons, dashes, there are no colons and dashes, so you can only select commas. 10.C。 rM us Word meaning analysis. The original text is to say "famous museum", so the impact of the selection of prominent, other option B is infamous, AD is obvious, easy to see. 11.D。 12.A。 A m start down. The second half of the sentence says that the other art restorer is employed, so the first half of the sentence should be said to be free. M r. start down. The next sentence is that there are a lot of bad things about vacant old buildings, and then there's the turning point. So the first sentence at the front should be part of the concession together with the second sentence, so choose A. 13.D。 Mold and faulty wiring and other costly damage are all three side by side, following the structure of X, Y, and Z, so choose D. 14.C。 The subject of the as-guided clause is rehabilitation, not human, so can not issue argue, contend and other actions, nor is it a painting of a book, etc. , can not issue the action of portray, can only issue show this action. The entire as clause section is roughly translated as "as... What it shows" 15.B。 The first sentence said how brilliant the building was, the back said that the building fell, so before and after is a turning relationship. 16.D。 The principle of simplicity. ABC has varying degrees of repetition. ta fa 17.A。 us The main meaning is the same. Showcase's action is sent by a video, which counts as singing numbers. So the predicate verb should be added s. 18.D。 A m 19.A。 rM Sentence sorting questions. The sentence waiting to be sorted has the signal word "since then", so it should be placed at the end of the paragraph, because the paragraph is all about the renovation process of the theater, and only after the process has been completed can the theater be said to have since become a popular gathering place. Ripple effect is a fixed match, which means "chain reaction". 20.B。 M r. There are two words before and after here havee seeed here is a sentence, attribute is another sentence, so there needs to be a connecting word and in the middle. Notice that since does not guide the clause here, but rather means "since", making prepositions, and the catcher reopening, which is "since the re-opening of theater". 21.D。 start down. The following is that updating old buildings is not without disadvantages, for example, may not pay off, so the first sentence of the corresponding paragraph is D. 22.C。 The punctuation at the end of the sentence is determined by the main sentence, where the main sentence (leaders must evaluate) is the statement sentence so that the end of the sentence can not use a question mark, can only use a period. The guest clause can only use the statement order, can not use the question language sequence, so choose C does not choose B. 23.C。 ta fa The tha and the following was in this sentence are the main structure, which belongs to a coherent expression and cannot be punctuation in the middle. 24.D。 us The title wants to express "plant seeds", so "plants" need to be followed by all the grids, but "seeds" can not be added after. rM 25.B。 The principle of simplicity. ACD has a place to repeat. 26.C。 27.C。 A m Choose A words pronoun refers to unclear, BD's expression is wrong, here hoped is M and F issued the action, from the first paragraph, this article is their research. M r.

Such topics cannot be expressed in spoken and flamboyant terms, CDs are spoken, and option A belongs to pompous expressions. 30.C。 The X rays in the sentence waiting to be sorted correspond exactly to the X rays in the fourth sentence, and then the images in the fifth sentence correspond exactly to the images in the sorted sentence. 31.D。 ta fa The article said in the second paragraph, as people began to cultivate, the thickness of the seed shell will become thinner and thinner, then the sentence of 31 said that before 1500 D.D. the shell of the seeds although relatively thick, but there is also a tendency to thin, indicating that before that people began farming, so choose D. us 32.C。 rM Chart questions. There are only three points between 1500-1000, and two of them are below 15, so it's two of three. 33.B。 34.B。 A m The full text is how M and F study the thickness of seed skin without destroying the seed, thus concluding that they contribute. The work of pronouns here, non-countable nouns so use it (it) to refer to. r. 35.B。 M Though is an adverb here, translated as "but", originally located in front of thethere is, and the previous sentence is followed by "but, there is another way of text reading: quantitative reading". So quantitatively is the same word for the way, represented by a colon. 36.A。 Multiply. Option A corresponds to the more specific information in the last sentence. 37.D。 Parallel structure, key word, syntactic arrangement and type are all side by side, AB option is not concise, C option by should be removed, because in the principle of parallel symmetry, if there is by in front of the type, then the front of the syntactic arrangement also has by, but no, so the front of the type can not be added by. 38.B。 Merge sentence questions. ACD options are all long. ta fa 39.D。 us Starting out, the following is about distant reading, and the anyone with a computer and Internet access in option D is that the reader does not use wade through thousands of texts, directly with a computer to search the data, which is distant reading. 40.C。 rM Add or subtract sentence questions. The sentence to be deleted is about what kind of lab M established in that year, and the context is about the dastant reading, so the sentence to be deleted is an irrelevant message. 41.A。 42.D。 A m For instance is an insertion here, just separate left and right with a double comma.

Lines 33 to 36 are a question, and the results of the experiment show that the answer to the question raised by this question should be yes or no, for what reason? The question actually examines the details about the purpose of the experiment and the results of the experiment. According to lines 33 to 37,the purpose of the experiment is to know: What is people's attitude towards donating money? Is "although the project will generate administrative costs, but as long as their ta fa own donated money is not spent on administrative costs, is willing to donate"? Or "as long as there are administrative costs us of the project, do not want to donate"? According to lines 43 to 47, the result of the experiment was "as long as the money you rM donate is not spent on administrative expenses." 15.D A m To find the question, ask the evidence of the last question, see the analysis of the last question. r. 16.A M Vocabulary questions.

People will be disgusted with the administrative costs of fund-raising projects, the first (laboratory experiments) experimental results show that there is a strategy (tell donors that all his donations will be used for charity, not administrative costs, administrative costs have ta fa been paid) can solve the problem. This strategy can also be effective in solving this problem in non-laboratory experiments us (i.e. experiments in real society). Which of the following sentences supports the above conclusions? rM The evidence in lines 71 to ( the result of a second batch of experiments (non-laboratory experiments that show that the percentage of contributions is high in the group without A m administrative costs( 73, which is the result of the second batch of experiments (which are non-laboratory experiments), shows that in the non-administrativecost-consuming group, the r. rate of contributions reaches a very high (whopping) figure of M 8.55.55 percent. You can see that the strategy worked. 18.C Chart questions. Based on the trunk, find the ordinates corresponding to the two points in Figure 1 with horizontal ordinates corresponding to the corresponding two points, incoordinate of 5, between 600% and 800 5 %. 19.D A comprehensive analysis of the picture. In fact, ask which of ta fa the following statements fits both Figure 1 and the content of the article. A)In the overhead not paid us First, it is clear that the article for Figure 1 is lines 16 to 47. for group, In that group, the rM number of people who donated money to water projects was not known to the donors the amount of money donated to a water project is not affected by the fact that the donor knows how A m much of the money he or she is donating will be spent on administrative expenses. This is equivalent to saying that the lower of the two straight lines in Figure 1 is horizontal. This r. does not match Figure 1, nor does it match lines 27 through 32 M of the articles, so A is wrong. B) Donors know that the less money they donate will be used for administrative expenses, the fewer people will donate money to water projects. This is equivalent to saying that the two straight lines in Figure 1 are rising further to the right. This does not match Figure Lines and articles from line to 1 do not match and are also consistent with article 1 nor does it match lines 27 through 32 and articles 43 through 47, so B is wrong. C) because there is no information in Figure 1 about the contributions of the used total contributions), C is charity's overhead (the for administrative wrong. percentage expenses of in ta fa percentage D) Donors know that the less money they donate will be used us for administrativeexpenses, the more people will donate money to water projects. This is consistent with Figure Lines and rM articles from line to 1, which are consistent with article 1 as well as lines 27 through 32 of the article and 43 to 47 of the 20.B A m article, so D is correct. Chart questions. Q. In Figure 2, what group of fundraisers with r. the lowest probability of occurring and how much money did it M cost? According to Table 2,the least number of donations occurred is 3,which occurs when a control group donates $1,00. 1 Passage 3 21.C The main topic of the article. Lines 1 through 28 of the article describe some new conclusions about an The new discovery was later linked to other animals, including spiders, cats, and so on(ant,The conclusion of the article is that ants can control their bodies when they fall),And then in the first (findings, ta fa which conclude that antscan control their bodies when they fall), and are describing some new conclusions about an ant us ( then, after line 40, start contacting other animals (including spiders, cats, etc.) to say what this new discovery means) rM meaning ( (significance). Lines 44 through 55 important accountings can correspond to the significance of discovery in the correct option C. this There are two specific A m features in the article, one is that animals such as ants control their bodies so that they do not fall to the ground, and the other is that animals such as ants already have a basis for further r. improving their gliding abilities in the senses and nerves (where M ants are a little more advanced than cats). Note that find in option C means "results (inquiries, investigations, trials), conclusions" (often called findings) a conclusion reached as a result of an inquiry, investigation, or trial The meaning in the C ) option means "meaning;meaning" (meaningto be found in words or events). Example:T hesignificance of what was happening was clearer to me than to her I know better than she what's going on. ta fa 22.C Details.

A m correct option C fall The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the author what r. rhetorical function is it toquote the word"fall"in line 8? M One of the uses of double quotes is that words that represent quotation marks have a special meaning. In this article, the representing fall is different from what we usually see. A normal fall certainly has no control over your body or direction. 24.A Vocabulary questions. According to lines 17 through 18 of the many studies later, ,Yanoviak did some experiments first, and then did similar fall experiments with other ants, spiders, and so 8 on. It can be seen that original here means "start; ta fa present or existing at the beginning of a series or process;first Example:the original owner of the house. . us The original owner of the house. rM The initial in the alternative means close. 25.C Separate proof-seeking questions. Ant gliding is a bit different A m from normal gliding, it was expected that ant gliding should be carried out in some (normal) way. Which sentence provides the evidence? r. This sentence is in lines 25 to 28, because the antsfall in a M position of lying on their backs (which is not normal, a little strange, so the use of curiously),)and fortunately the other animals are leaning down (leaning down is more normal, which gives the researchers some peace of mind, so use reassuringly). The way ants fall is different from the way people expect them to fall, so this sentence begins with a curiously. 26.

Chart questions. Find the point representing X on the graph and M read the ordinate value of 0.35. 30.C Chart questions. Q. Is it right or wrong to say that a student asserts that the data on the graph supports the idea that "several ants living in trees are better than cats' gliding techniques"? Because there is no information about cats in the picture, the student's assertion must be wrong. 31.A ta fa A comprehensive analysis of the picture. Which of the following is supported by the data in the figure for the relationship us between the weight of the various ants and the level of gliding efficiency? rM A)Several ants with lower average weight have higher gliding efficiency levels than several ants with higher average weight. This sentence is not absolutely said, but that there is such a A m tendency. From the picture, this is true, except that T is the exception, the other point is roughly in line with A's statement. So A is correct. r. B)Several ants with higher average weight had higher gliding M efficiency levels than several ants with lower average weight. This is the opposite of the picture, so B is wrong. C) In all cases, several ants with lower average weight had highergliding efficiency levels than several ants with a higher average weight. This sentence is dead, and we can find a counter-example in the figure, that is, T is This kind of ant, the weight is lower an ant that weighs less than S,but T's gliding efficiency level is not higher than S,but lower than S. So the in all cases of option C is wrong. D)Individuals who weigh the same weight have the same level of gliding efficiency. There is no information in the icon that ta fa reflects the individual ant, and both the horizontal and vertical axes indicate information that is average, so we don't know the 32.C rM Passage 4 us information about the individual. So D is wrong. A m The subject of the rhetorical purpose. What is the purpose of the full question? The article begins with line 5, which says that the monarchy is r. based on fraud (pretending to be"imposture"). The king himself M has nothing beyond the advantages of ordinary people Line (5 line to 12 line), the king alone can not manage so many things in the country, the actual management is the official (13 lines to 27 lines). Then (lines 28 to 52)talk about the monarchy's specific method of imposture (one is to wear gorgeous clothes, the other is to bomb with language). Next (lines 53 to 74) takes line 1 to 2 on the moral hazard of the monarchy to the people (lines 63 to 68,,the standard of merit . .…… daily grows more feeble and powerless... )。 the C option The of the row and the rowrefers to the monarchical government of lines 2 and 72, and the tend ta fa to this principle of line 7 to11 corresponds to C The in the option us undermines the moral development.. So choose C. rM The article is not saying that the form of government led to ruler corruption, so A is wrong. It's not that one country's values are different from those of other countries, so C is A m wrong. It's not about reform, it's about modernization, so D is wrong. r. 33.A M Vocabulary questions.

AMR MUSTAFA NOVEMBER 2020 USA READING ta fa Passage 1 1. A. Details. Q What did the community neighbors' reaction to Felix's impending marriage, according to the author's description, indicate? According to lines 7 through 11, neighbors heard that Felix's day of being single was finally settled, and set aside their animosity, but were united in their enthusiasm to help with his marriage. That is, priority is given to Felix's marriage. rM us 2. C. Details. The portrayation of Mrs Dickson's character in the question suggests that the author thinks she...? According to lines 16 to 20 of the article, Mrs.Dickson made a long statement that she could not be separated from her only child, and Felix was forced to assure her that she would be married with multiple sons rather than fewer daughters (i.e. that the man would move to the woman's house). Because Felix was done by compelling, she was a bit of a perse. M r. A m 3. A. The main topic. Ask which of the following options is a general description of what happened in the article. The article is about Felix to get married, before marriage was forced to promise to live in the woman's house,Felix's mother comforted herself, said that her son moved not far away, he also has a daughter melissy, and then every day at home hairline, the surface looks very calm, in fact, still want son. Just after her son's honeymoon, she went to the woman's house to see her son, and then helped with some work. The fact that her son got married and went to the woman's house was a very important change for Mother Danbury, who made some adjustments. So choose A (notethat the verbs of the four options are used in general present, which is a common usage in novel stories and news headlines, and are vivid when replacing the general past that should have been used with general presenttime). 4. A. Details. Ask, depending on the context, what does the author mean by"had their trouble for their pay" from the person visitingMother Danbury? According to line 32 of the article, these people are coming to condole with Mother DanBury (right... The tone of condole with the article is somewhat ironic, that is, these people are somewhat lucky to come to Mother to mention this bad thing to see her sad, but Mother Danbury is brave enough to say: "Men always want to find a wife, women do not come to the man's home, men go to the woman's home no big deal, I'm not sad)", so that these people in the purpose of the visit encountered difficulties their trouble for their pay). The correct option A, "agitating, A stimulating," stimulate or incite , sad in front of That means“ ”, him. ta fa (someone) to do or feel something, especially by arousing anger in the nameof comforting Mother Danbury, deliberately came to Mother Danbury to mention her son's departure from home, deliberately said something us 5.C Separate proof-seeking questions. Which sentence proves that"Mother Danbury's friends may not know that she has several feelings mixed up"? Evidence on lines 55 through 60, outwardly , (ostensibly) she is calm, but rM still wants to see her son,outwardly(her soul longed for a of this sight son). A m 6 .C Details. Ask Mother Danbury to work when she comes to Mrs Dickson's house because she wants to...? According to line 65 to line 74 of the article, when Mother Danbury arrived at the woman's house, Mrs. Dickson insisted on staying with her and posing as Felix, much to Mother Danbury's disdain, and she wanted to have a part with her son who didn't want tosit. So even though she was r. the best alpaca she'd ever , worn as a guest, she got up to work M (regardless of the factthat she mightget dirty). So she wants a part,that is, she wants to be the family's another member. 7.C The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the author what rhetorical features are there in lines 72 through 73 that refer to "the prominent manmade flowers in the glass cover and the shell-made house model on the fireplace"? Lines 69 through 74 say that Mother Danbury doesn't want Mrs Dickson to be with her, but wants to have a part in her son's life, and mostimportantly, shedoesn't want to sit in the hall and look at "a prominent model of a house made of shells in a glass hood and a fireplace." Glass here refers to glass dome(glass cover) and places wax flower in a glass cover. Shell House is a model house made of shells, stone, or cork. Both were popular home furnishings from the 19th century. The most critical part of this sentence is the use of a staring before wax flowers, staring, which means that the artificial flowers seem to be staring at Mother ( Danbury, which is to make Mother Danbury feel ta fa uncomfortable in a strange environment that is like a prison (line 77 uses a her prison). The echo of the C option means "to make a recall (something, action, event) "(of an object, movement, or event) be reminiscent of have or shared with. us 8. A The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the rhetorical function of lines 74 through 79 what kind of tone is created? First, let's translate lines 74 through 79:: A m rM "When Mother Danbury put herclothes up around her waist, rolled up her sleeves, and tried to get up and work, she was guided back itwasn'tappropriate to use the wordguidance, she was carried back to where she was. Mrs. Dickson, while lifting her,kept affirming that she would befrightenedby any work that would be done by theguests who came to the house. The scene is more dramatic, so option A is the correct option. A)The dramatic tone of the character's character, which suggests that Mother Danbury's view of Mrs. Dickson's treatment of her is somewhat exaggerated. r. 9 .B Details. Ask the article whatresulted from Mother Danbury's visit. Evidence on lines 87 through 89, as it seemed to her perceived,in the M correct option B, Felix went home,and Mother Danbury felt felix go home as before (her broken relationship with her son continued). This is how she felt (not necessarily true) after she went to the woman's house and did housework with her daughter-in-law and family. A Why is option A wrong, because if you choose A,it means that Mother Danbury is worried about what the gossipy neighbors will think, and after a day at the woman's house, she feels even more worried. The whole article is just the last mention of the neighbors, so the article doesn't show that this visiting changed Mother Danbury's concern. Added: Line( line 89 of gossip is a noun that means "people who love to talk aboutother people's private lives" (a person who would like to talk about other people's private lives). 10 .C The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. rM us ta fa Passage 2 11 .C Details. Ask which natural segment supports the inference (conclusion means a judgement or decision reached by reasoning) that "the effect of sounds that are not directly related to the food you eat has on how people feel about the taste of food, which Spence has studied". Note that the conclusion in the heading does not refer to the conclusion of a study conducted by Spence, but rather to the "effectof sounds that are not directly related to the food they eat on how people feel about the taste offood, whichSpence has studied" in itself. lines 54 through 64 are some of the research and conclusions that predation Spence, in which line 64 of low-pitched music refers to the "voice that is not directly related to the food you eat" in the trunk. M r. A m 12.D The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the author in lines 10 through 14 to give an example for what? Lines 10 through 14 say that scientists have long known that strawberries are sweet or light, and that the olfactory receptors in the noses of strawberry eaters feel much about which molecule strawberries are (i.e. taste is influenced by smell). This is a study of the influence of taste on smell, and Spence's study of the effects of taste on hearing is related. 13.D The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask line 19 to line 20 whatworks with"thin, homogeneous, stackable paraboloid"? thin homogeneous, In stackable paraboloid, homogeneous paraboloid is a relatively rare subject word, meaning "double parabola”, stackable means "can be neatly stacked", the whole is to say that the"pringle" brandof potato chips shape is "double-curved parabola", and then thin It is a relatively rare subject word, meaning "double parabola."”,and well stacked, homogeneous paraboloid is a more scientific, academic description of the shape of potato, chips. 14 .C The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask lines 28 through 34 to describe the use of sound for...? Lines 28 through 34 say thatSpence usesamplifiers and equalizers to increase or mask a frequency, increase or decrease the volume. This boost or muffle sound is a manipul state,ationso choose C. ta fa 15.A The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask about the rhetorical features of the third natural segment (lines 38 through 53). Lines 38 through 53 first say the results of the experiment, and then say that this experiment is the first to successfully prove that hearing has an effect on taste (i.e., groundbreaking). rM us 16 .B Details. Q. According to the article, what should Spence do if he wants to do another experiment based on his own experiment on crisps and come up with a better-referenced study of the potato chip market? The evidence is on lines 65 through 69, and the packaging design on line 68 corresponds to the correct option B in ... the sound of a food package being opened.... 17.D The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. M r. A m 18 .C The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Q Line 72, the author double-quoted the word" snackification" In order to...? Snackification is a new term that has become more popular in recent years, referring to a meal that does not eat three meals a day and is called Snackification between eating less and eating more. (The explanation found online is thatthe traditional threemeals a day is being challenged globally as a new generation of eaters are opting for snacks rather square meals.) It's' called snackification. . . The word is not exactly used in English, so the author uses double quotes when using it. 19.A Chart questions. Q. According to Figure 1,subjects felt they were eating chips witha slight reduction in volume and a constant frequency...? The contents of the dry question correspond to the square in figure 1, the comparisonobject ofthe A option corresponds to the middle triangle, thecomparison object of theB option corresponds to the circle to the far right,the comparison object of the C option corresponds to the right triangle, and the comparison object of the D option corresponds to the right-most square. One by one, you can see that the answer is A. ta fa 20.D Comprehensive chart questions. Q. According to Figures 1 and 2,under what circumstances does the change in sound frequency have little effect on the subject's sense of the brittlenessand freshness of the scale? In finding the two graphs, look for curves (i.e., relatively flat curves) that do not change much regardless of the horizontal coordinates. The result is a curve represented by a circle. Then find the circle in the text under the chart that corresponds to most reduction. us 21 .C Figure Table title. Q. According to Figure 1,how many points did the subjects give the crispness of the chips when thevolume was constant and the high audio rate increased? The description of the dry question corresponds to the right triangle in Figure 1, reading approximately 85. A m rM Passage 3 22.A Details. Some scientists hold an assumption about octopuses and ask Kuba, what is Kuba's attitude to this assumption? The first thingto find islines 6 through 8, and some scientists presume, octopuses don't know where their arms are or what they're doing when they're gropingfor food. Line 14 to line 23, and he laughs and laughs that it doesn't make sense and is against common sense. But his attitude is not mocking,,the word mock means tease or laugh at a scornful or desalination manner;to r. laugh at someone, often by;copying them in a funny but unkind way, from M the article, Kuba is not malicious or scornful. So B is wrong. The dismissive in the correct option A is "disdain for consideration" (feelingor showing that something is unworthy of consideration). 23.D Details. According to the article, which of the following statements would the two scientists agree with? Evidence on lines 23 through 26, the brain has to decide , first decide which hand……, ((decide) to move, and then start (the initiate) movement. 24.D The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. ta fa 25 .C Ask for an option to describe the full text structure. Lines 1 through 11 of the full text of the presumption is widely accepteded understanding..., lines 12 to 26 are questioned first, an alternative hypothesis is presented, and then lines 26 through 74 are introduced and discussed to test that alternative hypothesis 1 Whether the experiment is correct. us 26 .B Vocabulary questions. Line 35 assess means assess "estimation, estimation (nature, ability, quality)" evaluate or estimate the nature, ability, or quality of The evaluate meaning in the option is close. A m rM 27.A Details. To examine the experimental design, according to lines 41 to 47, the octopuses in the experiment could only find food by seeing the black spots on the box and then reaching out with one hand through a thin tube (in the middle, through a waterless air-only space to prevent the octopus's sense of smell from functioning). Because the tubes are the same, so the sense of touch can not play a role, and because there is an air belt, so the sense of smell can not play a role, so can only use vision. 28 .B The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. M r. 29 .C Vocabulary questions. Orient to line 58 means "make direction; is direction align or position (something) relative to the points of a compass or other specified position The align in the alternative means "put (the item) in the correct (or appropriate) position." put (things) into correct or international relative positions The meaning of the two is close. 30.D Chart questions. Octopus No. 6 was only correct 5 times, so it performed the worst. ta fa 31 .C The picture is a comprehensive analysis of the problem. Ask about the transparent maze experiment, which of the following statements does the data in the table support? Option A is incorrect because all octopuses except the 6th octopus are better than the previous 20 times. Option B is incorrect because the 20 trials behind Octopus 6 trial perform worse than the previous 20 6 times, not the same. Option D is incorrect because all octopuses perform differently trial from the previous 20 trials. 32 .B Chart questions. Q Which of the following statements is true about number 4? A error, because numbers 1, Issue 2, Issue 3, Issue 5. us C error, because the first 20 次 trialsare best for numbers 5 and 6. the previous 20. rM D error, because the next 20 次 trials behave significantly differently from r. A m Passage 4 33.D Vocabulary questions. The declaration in line 3 declare means "declaration (or declaration... is)" note or assert (a person or thing) to be something specificed Assert in the alternative means close. assert means to do something to show that you have power To assert; to maintain; to insist Example:Throughout the Cold War, the Allies asserted their right tomove freely between the two Berlins During the Cold War, the Allies maintained their right to move freely between East and West Berlin. M 34.A Details. Q Judge White considered that the court's decision had ruled that Parliament had ... Authority (power)? Evidence on lines 10 through 16 should be selected option A, with the power to dispose of Indian property. Line 11 of paramount power corresponds to the authority in the authority trunk. 35 .C Vocabulary questions. Line 20 pursue means "engage, busy (activity); engage in (an activity or course of action). Example:Andrew was made to pursue a computer career. . Andrew is determined to work in the computer industry. The council decision not to pursue an appeal. The Committee decided not to appeal. 36.A The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the author of Passage 2 to use the word" pleading" in lines 44、50, and 85 “in order to...? rM us ta fa Let's start by looking at the word plead, which means "begging, begging, asking (making an emotional request) "make an emotionalappeal. All three uses pleading to say "we'renot in the pleading",which means that if our request(petition)has no reason to be unfounded, then we can only rely on playing emotional cards, hoping that you white people will sympathize with us, then we are in the pleading. It's all about saying, "We're not here" and there's no reason why there's no basis, so we're going to have to play the emotional card and hope you white people come to empathize with us, and then we're there Because our petition is justified, we are not in the pleading. 37.A Details. Ask the author of Passage 2 to suggest that even a deviation from (breaching) some of the provisions of a treaty could lead to ...? The evidence is between lines 62 and 65, and one violation creates logic for the second violation. A m 38.D Details. Ask the authors of Passage 2 to accuse the U.S. government of not understanding the loss of land by Indian(tribes. The correct option is D"The loss of land by Indian tribes is a danger to these tribes,and it is not enough to compensate them more for that." r. ,Evidence on lines 69 through 73,lands are taken corresponding to the M loss of the tribal lands in the trunk,,scattering our people and our our continued existence corresponds to the correct option D in the poses a danger,grieves... That a money payment is the same corresponds to the no amount of compensation is is in option no amount of compensation is adequate D. In addition, the fault in the inscription is a verb, "blame, criticize, pick the wrong" (thefrom foradequacy or mistakes).) Example:You cannot fault him for the professionalism of his approach. The professionalism of his methods is impeccable. 39. B The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 40.D Two comprehensive analysis questions. Ask the author of Passage 2's claim to the last natural paragraph of Passage 1 (thepower of Parliamentto repeal part of the contract with the Indians) what kind of unsatisfactory (and unwanted) progress is represented? ta fa Evidence on lines 48 through 49,immoral manner corresponds to the right option D in the than on that of ethical principles,"Governments,, us when powerful enough"correspondsto the correct option D in the"Officials act on the basis of the political strength. “Corresponds to the correct option "I don't know. rM 41.B The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. A m 42.A Details. Q: Both passages cite (recourse) historical precedents in their respective articles, but the two passages cite (recourse) precedents for different purposes, so what is the difference? We first go to the two passages to find the place where the precedent is invoked and find the place where passage 1 invokes the precedent, right from line 1 to line 16. The decisions of line 1 of this court and the one of r. the cited cases of line 1 are precedents. Lines 1 through 16,(which mean M "in all cases, there is no dispute that Parliament has the power to dispose of Land of Indian property, and in one case, it was noted in particular that this power of Parliament is paramount")(lines 6 to 13). Let's look again and find that passage 2 cites precedents on lines 52 through 56. Line 54 to line 56 行 it has been repeatedly by the courts of the United States,which is to sayprecedent. This paragraph is about the power of Indian self-government, which has never been eliminated. Several decisions by U.S. government courts have also upon this power. So the correct option is A. Passage 1 cites precedent as an effort touse precedent to assert that Congress has the power to deal with relations between theU.S. government and Indiantribes ( authority) , and Passage 2 invokes precedent to assert the power of Indian), tribes to govern them . Finally, please note that the month in the inscription is not a numberable noun, but mass noun, so there is no title in front of the word, there is no addition of s. A m rM us ta fa Passage 5 43.D The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the author in the first paragraph what Ross's background as a scientist is for? Here's a background. Doctors often kill a bacterium with an antibiotic, but over time, the bacteria may become resistant to that antibiotic (an evolutionary act) and become resistant, and then the antibiotic becomes useless. The author says Ross is a zoologist, not a physician. But the experiment introduced in this paper is related to how to eliminate and prevent bacteria from be resistant to antibiotics. This is the area of concern to physicians. So Ross is doing interdisciplinary cross-border research, and he's an outsider (but instead allows him to break through the traditional thinking of medical professionals) and give an unsymical perspective on how to solve the problem of bacteria's resistance to antibiotics. M r. 44.D Vocabulary questions. Line 21 of the release means "emissions; release; make escape" to allow a substance to flow out from somewhere In the option emit means "emit, shoot out, emit (light, noise, odor, or gas)." to send out a beam, noise, smell, or gas The two mean close. 45.C The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the main thrust of the full text of this article. A means that there is a theory about how antibiotic resistance develops within bacteria. This article introduces a new study that concludes that the original theory waschallenged. It doesn't match the meaning of the article. B means that this paper argues that drugs need to be developed to prevent bacteria from collaborating with each other. It means that there was no such medicine before, and now some of it will be developed. It doesn't match the meaning of the article. C means that this paper describes a study that suggests that a new approach may be possible to treat bacterial infections (against bacteria that cause bacterial infections). D means that there is a common misconception about the effectiveness of antibiotics in treating diseases caused by bacteria. This article considers (discusses) this misunderstanding. It doesn't match the meaning of the article. us ta fa 46 .C Details. Q. According to the article, of the many bacteria that use siderophore, any individual bacteria may...? Note that read lines 19 through 27 carefully, and then understand exactly that the siderophores in the puzzle are the siderophores that have picked up to the ironions,and the use in the trunk refers to the 23rd line of the bridge cells that use 23 have picked up to the ironions Siderophores gave pick up. Line 23 to line 27, said"siderophore production and use is communal"and “"all ... .“”, contribute and all benefit." So if a bacterial rM individual contributes (releases) a siderophore siderophore, which, after siderophore absorbing iron ions, may be taken away by other bacterial individuals; A m 47.B The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. M r. 48.B Details. Q. According to the article, the bacteria that produce (also known as release or contributecontribute)siderophores have a genetic relationship with each other that can help...? The evidence is in lines 28 through 32, and these two sentences go on to say that as mentioned earlier, bacteria contribute siderophores together and enjoy siderophores together. In theory, then, there could be free-rides. A hitchhiing ride is when some bacteria are selfish and never contribute to siderophores,only enjoy the siderophores contributed by other bacteria. But it didn't actually happen. Why, because the bacteria that live in the same community are close relatives. Line 31 ... . are close kin corresponds to the genetic relationships in the trunk,line 29 to line 30 of the which use siderophores made by others without the contenting of the correct option B to benefit from... without contenting in it. 49.B us ta fa Details. Ask the article to suggest howgallium nitrateaffects P. aeruginosa, a bacteria. According to lines 64 to 70 of the article, P. aeruginosa sent siderophores out and wanted to get iron ions back through these siderophores. Nitrate causes the siderophores sent by P. aeruginosa to bind to the ions rather than to the iron ions, which results in P. aeruginosa not always getting the iron ions it needs, which are useless to P. aeruginosa. Then P. aeruginosa still want to get iron ions, but do not know is nitrate in the troublemaker, how to do, poor it can only continue to send more siderophores, and the production of these siderophores is the need for nutrition and energy, the nutrition and energy that could have been used for their own growth to produce these siderophores, resulting in their own nutrition isnot enough, it accelerates the destruction of the entire bacterial community (colony). Line 68 to line 69 pouring their energy into producing ... Corresponds to the B redirect resources in the correct option B. rM 50.D The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. A m 51 .B Vocabulary questions. Ask the meaning of the established in line 73, and we'll look at the corresponding verb establish, which means "confirm; ” show (something) to be true or certain by determining the facts An established drug is a drug that has been "proven to be effective and has been widely accepted". The proven in the option means close. M r. 52.B The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask about the rhetorical function of the last natural segment. The last paragraph is that Ross's research may also provide the breakthrough it needs to study the field of bacterial resistance (lines 76 through 79). This is to say that the significance of Ross's study (significance means "significance; importance "the quality of being worthy of attention; importance). WRITNG Passage 1 1 .B The part from long before to folk music is the adverb of the whole sentence, which needs to be separated by a comma and the main sentence that follows, and there is no need or even word in the middle. ta fa 2.A The direct reference to this sentence is interrupted by the message "Who said this sentence", which is equivalent to an insertion inserted in a direct quote, so there must be a comma separated before and after. The thinking part is the accompanying adverb of the main sentence, so add a comma before it. us 3.D Merge sentences. D Is the most concise and correct. C is not concise,AB is logically wrong. rM 4 .C It here refers to the banjo. 5.A The title requires completes the explanation of method of playing is notable, then only , A (an A m playing,, then Cotten's Cotten's method of unver traditional right-handed wayof using the right hand) can continue the interpretation of the first half of the sentence((Cotten is distinctive M r. left-handed). 6 .B Transition sentence, which requires a transition to the next paragraph. Because the next paragraph is about later, it is best to choose B"asshe would a few years later". The other options are not related to the next paragraph. 7 .C Highfalutin is "flamboyant, do-it-it-or-do", an un formal usage and a derogatory term. Recondite is "esoterical, obscure" and is generally used to describe concepts such as knowledge, which is used here to describe style inappropriately. Labyrinthine is "intricate, inexplicable, maze-like" and the style used here to describe the hero is still inappropriate. The hero's style is relatively complex, but not to the extent that complex very and difficult to understand. So just choose complex. 8.A start down. The following quotation is about the speed of thetrain (run so fast)andthe possibilityof escapewon(won'tknow what route),whichcorresponds exactly to what is in option A. 9 .B Here herself refers to Cotton, which means "herself as the granddaughter of a freed slave." us ta fa 10.A Along with is a fixed match, indicating "and... Together," in line with the meaning of the sentence. There are no alongfor, alongside with,and alongside for these combinations. To use alongside, just add sb or something directly after it, and you don't need to add any prepositions. 11.A Sentence sorting. The waiting sentence was that by the time she first performed in public, she was already a grandmother. sentence 1 speaks rM to cotton raised a family. "Sentences 2 and 3 refer to her offsor, and, the interior of 2 and 3 sentences cannot be interrupted (because the such refers to relationships involving one such song cannot be interrupted), so the sentence waiting to be sorted should be placed after sentence 1. r. A m Passage 2 12 .B The singerate of nouns plus all the grids. A was said earlier,so speaker can only exclude CDs in sing sings. CD Words do not need to be followed by all the grids, do not need to express the meaning of "", so do not choose A. M 13 .C Tense. What is represented here is a general state, not specifically referring to something in the past, so use the general present time. 14.D The principle of simplicity. Candidates are job seekers, that is, people who look for jobs, so AC repeats with the previous candidates. The show a demonstration for option B is also very long, but a demonstration is enough. 15 .C Before and after is two sentences, so can not be without a symbol or comma, exclude AD,,B colon can connect two sentences, but require the latter is a specific explanation of the former, but the latter sentence here is a summary of the previous sentence, so use a semistation. 17 .C The its here refers to the work of translation. ta fa 16 .B The fourth sentence waiting for sorting is a high summary of the whole paragraph, need to be placed at the beginning of the paragraph to play the role of the beginning, otherwise from the first paragraph are not the second paragraph of the transition, it will appear very sudden. The first paragraph does not mention any recruitment, interview, written test information,go directly to the secondparagraph, the first sentence said "in the first round of the" screeningwill appear very sudden. rM us 18.A start down. The following example says that the Russian language order (where the verb appears) is different from the English one, so it corresponds to the syntax problem in option A. A m 19.A Logical words. The last paragraph says that the United Nations is under a lot of pressure to do the same job, and the next paragraph says that UN interpreters' choice of words has a great influence, both of which should be the logic of progress. 20 .B Merge sentences. Only B correctly expresses the two-sentence transition logic,and D, while the shortest, does not represent the transition logic. M r. 21 .B The full text presents a un interpreters job characterized by high pressure and the need for immediate and accurate translation, so the corresponding B option. 22.D The first half is an If-guided clause, and the dashed part requires a main sentence, with only D as the main sentence. Passage 3 23.A The principle of simplicity. As the sentence says before the long debate, the BCD appears to be repeating it. 24 .C Junction means "intersection, junction, hub,"socializing means "social,"confluence means convergence, convergence, gathering, gathering means "meeting of peoplefor a particular purpose gathering; “The article is to express the "convergence of multiple factors", so you should choose C. ta fa 25 .B Parallel structure, in which the disrupt and flow are side by side, so the disrupt also uses the verb original, which is equivalent to the structure of to do A and do B. 26 .B "It's not freshwater itself that's causing enough cooling, so there are other reasons, but freshwater also plays a role, so you can't say that the us previous story,\ "totally“wrong",don't choose A,don't say the opposite was true(can't choose(C),or that the generally held view is accurate (can't rM choose D). The following knowledge says that this theory is not entirely right, so it corresponds to B's found a B problem.

First of all, the two grids cannot be connected, excluding BD. Second, users need all the grids to express "the user's reaction", so choose A. 41.A The disadvantage of another test in the last sentence is that the base on users'reactionis not programmers'’ knowledge.

According to lines 4 through 8 of the article, "The first figs...",Zod generally expresses a passion for the fruits and vegetables of the season that are newly launched. "Surprise at finding unfamiliar food" in option A is wrong. Because fruits and vegetables are not unfamiliar with food, but each year with the seasonal changes in the market, the next market. rM 2.A。 3.A。 A m Vocabulary questions. Train means "pointing (especially with a gun, camera) and aiming." (point or aim something, typically a gun or camera, at) Example: The detective trained his gun on the side door. The detective aimed his gun at the side door. M r. The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the third line, "Handing out parcels like trophies," what rhetorical features are there? "Giving a waiter a package (with vegetables) is like giving a trophy prize," says Zod, who treats food with respect. 4.A。 Details. The question shows thatZod is more careful about what he cooks at that restaurant. Evidence in lines 39 to 44, introducing... Slowly corresponds to the correct option A in thegradually. 5.B。 Details. Q According to the article, nina and Zod are very different in that...? Evidence in lines 51 to 54, unlike her, he wasn'tborn with natural knowledge corresponding to the most different andthe correct option B in the she had a more natural understanding .... 6.D。 The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. ta fa 7.C。 rM us The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the rhetorical function of paragraph 6 (lines 55 to 63). The 6th natural paragraph is about what to add to this dish, what to add to that dish, so this paragraph is to give a few examples of Zod's improvement on the old recipe. Option A's "struggle to reconciliation his own desire to pursue his own interests and his duty to respect family traditions" is not mentioned in this paragraph. Option B speaks to the situation in paragraph 1 of the article. Option D says,"Zod has a scientific understanding of some of the food ingredients he added to the old recipe," the article says. 8.A。 M r. A m Details. Ask Yanik what he thought of Zod when he gazed at him. First note that consider in the trunk means "look with all your attention; gaze", which corresponds to the watching him of line 67. According to lines 68 to 72 (which is Yanik's mental activity while looking atZod), "How does Zod reconcile the big gap between what he wants (the situation) and all he has? Not only did he agree to the plan put forward by his parents, but he also seemed to adapt smoothly to it, as if he were comfortable putting his foot in a suitable pair of shoes. "This passage indicates that Zod is satisfied with the current situation, which makes Yanik agree and appreciate. So choose A. The start of option B, his own business, is not mentioned in the article, and we cannot draw this conclusion based only on what he wanteded and what he had in line 69 and the plan his parents had proposed in line 70. 9.B。 The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 10.B。 The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the last natural segment, whatrhetorical features does Zod's generals have? The common in the caption means "words that express opinions or responses; opinions; comments". So the question can be translated into "In the last natural paragraph, what doZod do in response to his father's two words?" " 。 us ta fa "Yes, I know it takes courage (to be a chef in my own restaurant as a life choice), " says Zod, "There's no place I'd rather be there than stay here" is Zod's way of expressing his choice to accept being a chef in his own restaurant. So pick B. There may be classmates who want to choose D, and the D option, resigned to, means "passive, have to obey, and accept" (feeling or showing acceptance that something unwanted or will will or can be changed), and the words in the article Zod are indicating positive choices. So don't choose D. Passage 2。 rM 11.B。 r. A m The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the rhetorical function of lines 17 through 22. Line 17 to line 22 says, "Zappos (which is a shoe-selling website), Virgin Atlantic, and Google have set up play areas in their offices to relieve work stress, boost morale and increase productivity." Line 15 to Line 17 says, "There have been studies that have shown that humor can provide a short break for workers to work, relieve work stress, and improve productivity." "So lines 17 through 22 are specific examples of companies that believe in previous research, set up play areas, and improve employee productivity. So pick B. M 12.C。 Vocabulary questions. nature means "nature, essence; characteristics" (the basic or nature features of what, especially when see as characteristic of it) Example: There are a lot of other documents of that nature. There are many documents of the same nature. The acter in the option means "features, features, features" (the distinctive nature of something) Example: Gas lamps give the area its character. Petrol lamps have become a feature of the area. 13.A。 ta fa The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the rhetorical function of the full text. The discus in option A does not translate into "discussion" but rather "detailed narrative or discussion" (talk or write about a topic in detail, take into account different ideas and opinions), and this article does detail the research of two Australian scientists, and the results of this research may be practical. So choose A. The article doesn't mention "a common assumption", the study isn't about improving office relationships, it doesn't mention the debate about what's going on, so the other options are wrong. 14.D。 15.D。 A m rM us Separate proof-seeking questions. The two scientists' research has a preset view that an activity does not have to be intellectually challenging to cause psychological fatigue. Ask what lines of evidence there are? On lines 40 through 42, the first stage of the experiment was for the students to cross out all the letters in the two-page book, E, and then the article said it was a "momently" task. The two scientists' experiments were designed to allow participants to move on to the next stage (watching the video) without designing particularly mind-taking experiments, but rather simple but annoying activities such as bicing letters. M r. Details. Still test experimental design, according to 46 lines to 47 lines, in the second stage, the students are divided into three groups, watch different videos, which give a group of students to put Mr. Bean's video, is put as a humorous video, that is to say, the scientist defaulted, students watched Mr. Bean's video, it will feel funny, otherwise you can not compare with the other two groups of students, so the D option is correct. 16.A。 The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 17.B。 Vocabulary questions. design means "designed for a specific function or purpose" to devise for a specific function or end Cases: a book designed primarily as a college textbook。 a suitcase designed to hold a laptop computer。 The meaning of devise in the alternative is close. 18.B。 ta fa Chart questions. According to the problem dry requirements, find the neutral conditions in the horizontal coordinates, read the ordinate is 20. 19.C。 M r. A m rM us Chart questions. In fact, ask, which of the following options is consistent with Figures 1 and 2? A) Compared to the other two groups, the subjects in the contentment group entered the second phase of the "longer than who persisted" experiment and held on for a shorter total time, but took the same amount of time per attempt. The total time that the Content group adheres to is indeed the shortest, but the time spent on each attempt needs to be divided by the bar value of each group in Figure 2 by the bar value of Figure 1, and we simply do some parting to show that the results of the three groups are different. So A is wrong. B) This option is incorrect because there is only attempts information in the chart and no information about correct predictions. C) Compared with the other two groups, the humor group entered the second phase of the "longer than who lasted" experiment, the longest total time, the total number of attempts made also the most. Conforms to Figures 1 and 2, which are the correct options. D) is the same as option B, which is incorrect because there is only information about attempts in the chart and no information about correct predictions. 20.D。 A comprehensive analysis of the picture. Which of the following options is actually asked, consistent with articles, Figure 1, and Figure 2? The A option can correspond to lines 15 to 17 of the article, but the two diagrams are not supported. The office interpersonal relationships in option B are not mentioned in articles or charts. Option C says that "focusing on a task is not helpful for the final ta fa completion of the task." This statement is not mentioned in neither diagram. Option D says, "Employees are more likely to enjoy work if the employer schedules some interesting activities on a regular basis." "Because the experiments and diagrams in the article only show that humor videos can make people who work more energetic, and that they can hold on to longer perspectives when faced with difficult tasks, and that they can make people work more productively, there are problems with this option." But if you have to choose the correct option, you can only choose D. Passage 3。 21.C。 22.D。 A m rM us It is required to summarize the structure and context of the full text. Line 1 to line 10 of the article introduces the theoretical hypothesis put forward by a research team (do dogs also need to sleep to consolidate their memories?). Do you want to teach them some skills and then arrange for them to have a good night's sleep, so that the training will be better? Lines 11 through 75 are detailing several experiments that scientists have done to test this theoretical hypothesis, and lines 51 to 57 tell the story of some unexpected results. So pick C. M r. Details. Q According to the article, what was the purpose of the first experiment to figure out? This way of asking questions put whyther in the question dry, we read each option to look at the question dry and options together, don't miss this why. According to line 21 to line 29 of the article, the purpose of the experiment is to compare the e-brain map of a dog who has learned something new and then slept with the electro-encephalogram of a dog who has not learned something new and then sleeps, to see if it is different, that is, to see if learning before going to bed causes the dog to have some brain activity during sleep. So choose D. 23.D。 Vocabulary questions. respond means "react" (act or behave in reaction to someone or something) The fact in the alternative also means "react" (respond or or a particular way in response to something), and the two words are close in meaning. 24.C。 ta fa Vocabulary questions. manner means "way" (a way in a thing is done or happens). The approach in the alternative means "how things are handled" (a way of dealing with with something), and the two words are close in meaning. Option Aourtesy means "courtesy; humility" (the show of politeness in one's attitude and the behaviourals of others) or "especially the polite words or acts required by social custom" (a polite speech or action, especially one requires by convention). 25.A。 A m rM us Although this question can be selected by exclusion, but we have to thoroughly understand this question, but it is not easy. Let's look at the problem first. First of all, the informed in the inscription is not an adjective, but rather the dynamic of the object verb inform. And object verb form means "giving characteristics or essence" (to give character or essence to; give an essential or formative principle or quality to) Example: The relationship of the citizen to the state is informed by the democratic ideal. The identity of the country's citizens and the relationship between the state is endowed by democratic ideas. (The concept of democracy gives the citizens of this country the qualities of the relationship between the state.) ) M r. Second, look at another word in the question, which means "things to consider; motivation, reason; factors" (a fact or a motive into account in decisioning or judging something) According to the article, it is reasonable to assume that thecharacteristics of the experimental design of the Kis team's second experiment were given by which of the following factors? That is, "what makes the experimental design of the second experiment have its characteristics(essence)". We found the second experiment in the article, which is in lines 35 to 57, and is talking about the experimental process of the second experiment. The key to the experimental process of the second experiment (that is, the key to the experimental design). It's about getting the dogs in the experiment to learn the skills first (the formation of option A, the new momory),divide the dogs into three groups, put a group of dogs to sleep, a group of dogs to learnother skills, and a group of dogs to play with. This ta fa means that three groups of dogs are allowed to perform three different activities (i.e. beavior is modified) over a period of time frame after learning the skill (i.e., in option A). It was this time frame that designed its characteristics for the second experiment. The time frame in option A means "especially when something has happened during a period of time or as expected" (a period of time, especially a specific period of time in what is what is planned to take place). What the dog does in this time frame behavior determines the grouping of dogs, and in the second test a week later, the performance of the three groups of dogs is still compared by this group (lines 58 to 64). So option A is correct. It is added here that, according to the article, after the dog has initially learned its skills, memory is formed, followed by sleep or other activities, which are part of the process of being consolidation or forgetting. rM us Option B "Scientists have different views on what kind of brain activity dogs do when they sleep" Option C "Some languages are already easier to understand than others" Option D "After the dog learns to do a certain behavior, testing the dog again for this behavior(restest itself) will hinder their memory of this skill." 26.D。 27.B。 A m The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. M r. The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Q What rhetorical features does no new learning have in parentheses on line 24? is to make one aspect of experimental design clearer. That is to say, to have a group of dogs practice listening to Hungarian password activities is not a new behavior, but a long time ago. Clariffy in the correct option B means "clarify, clarify, make clear" (make a statement or situation) confused and more clearly comprehensible. 28.C。 Details. Q. Based on the article, which of the following suggestions is given to professional dog trainers to help them train their dogs to perform better in learning new skills? According to lines 75 to 78, the group of dogs that learned a new skill and then learned another one performed the worst. Lines 77 through 78 followed another by training session where had to learn a new task corresponds to the correct option C in the exposing the dog to the problem and the tasks. 29.D。 The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. ta fa 30.A。 Chart questions. The play row and one hour after training columns are found in the table, and the reading data is 43.94. 31.B。 A m rM us Chart questions. Ask which of the following statements finds the strongest support for the data in the table? You need to compare the four options one by one with the table. A) Read the diagram, because 54.37 is less than 59.52, so A error. B) Dogs in the play group completed the test correctly at the end of training at the lowest of the three groups, but not the lowest after one week. (Read the figure to see that 48.99 is indeed the lowest, but 63.13 is not the lowest, so option B is correct) C) The number of times the learn group completed the test correctly was the lowest of all test points. (Read the diagram to know that in the first column end of training is not the lowest, so C error) D) Read the diagram to find the column of end of training and find that both walk and paly numbers are less than 50, so D error. r. Passage 4。 M 32.B。 Details. Ask the speaker what his or her attitude is toward his or her experiences with members of the U.S. government. According to lines 27 through 28 of the article, tired corresponds to the correct option B. Weary means "tired; impatient." reluctant to see or experience any more of; tired of。 33.B。 Details. Q. According to the article, the speaker implied that one of the obvious shortcomings of the U.S. government was...? According to lines 15 to 18 of the article, U.S. officials said much, but no action was taken, and lines 29 to 30, also said, all the good words and all the broken promises. 34.A。 rM us ta fa The way this question is asked is to ask what the focus of the text has shifted from what to what. In fact, it is required to summarize the full text of the context. Line 1 to Line 34, the author first made a critical assessment of the U.S. government's approach to the Indians (lines 30, broken promises, lines 31 to 34, too misreprepresentaions... too many misunderstandings...... ), line 35 begins to line 85 and is expressing its will on behalf of the native Indians (line 36 treat all men alike, line 53 I only ask of the Government to be treated as all other man, line 68, let me be a free man, etc.). So option A is correct. 35.D。 M r. A m The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Q. What are the main rhetorical effects of repeatedly using "good words" multiple times between lines 18 and 30 in the article? it's actually good what it means good, but here it means "good faith." Showing kindness or "satisfactory" (pleasing and welcome). A) Indicates that the speaker speaks frankly and in good faith to the attention. B) Emphasize that there is a contrast between the way government officials speak to each other and the way the government speaks to the speaker. C) Emphasize that the speaker believes he can persuade the audience to respect his demands. D) indicates that many people have expressed some purpose and intention to the speaker, which are satisfactory to the speaker. 36.B。 Separate proof-seeking questions. Because people of all ethnic groups have a common origin, the rights enjoyed by the 44 people should be available to all and born with them. Ask the line number in the article that provides evidence for this claim. Evidence in lines 39 to 41, the earth... Equal rights upon it, and the dry question can obviously correspond. 37.C。 The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the speaker in line 41 to enemy line 4, using the metaphor of river inverting, so that rhetorical effect? Please note that image means "figurative, metaphorical or metaphorical". a simile or metaphor。 ta fa Example: He uses the image of a hole to describe emotional emptiness. He uses the metaphor of "empty" to describe emotional emptiness. A m rM us Lines 41 through 44, and then 45 to 48, mean, "Now you in the U.S. government are going to take those of us born from the Indians to a closed area and not give us the freedom to move freely to where we want to go, how can you do that?" You might as well hope that the river will flow back. A horse tied to a place cannot be strong. How can we develop well when you limit our Indians to one place? "That is to say, it is impossible and unrealistic to fix a person who comes from a place and not allow him to go where he wants to go, hoping that he will be satisfied with the situation, just as it is to hope that the river will flow back." The prospect in the correct option C means "expectation, outlook, prospect" a mental picture of a future or anticipated event。 Specifically refers to line 43 of the a free man should be contented. r. 38.D。 M Details. According to the article, it is reasonable to assume that the speaker believes that the ability of a person to grow directly depends on what? Evidence in lines 46 to 48, therow and prosperity of lines 48 correspond to the trive in the trunk, the pen in line 46... up, compel him to stay after taking the opposite corresponding to the correct option D'allance of ... freedom。 Note that allowance in the correct option D means "permissible" the act of allowing something : PERMISSION;tolerance; sufferance。 Example: the allowance of slavery in the South The tolerance of slavery in the South 39.B。 The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 40.C。 us ta fa Details. Q. According to the speaker, the white officials who asked the Indians to stay in the designated area...? According to lines 48 to 52, "I asked a lot of the leaders of the U.S. government, where did you get that power by allowing white people to move freely while restricting the freedom of our Indians?" What is the basis of your power? None of them can answer. "Corresponds to the meaning of the correct option C. 41.D。 rM Vocabulary questions. condition means "state, situation" (a state of being) circumstance means "situation, condition, situation, environment". a fact or condition connected with or relevant to an event or action。 42.A。 A m The two mean close. M r. Details. Ask the speaker to have an assertion that the law should...? According to lines 64 to 67, "Indians and whites should be equal before the law, and if Indians break the law, they punish him, and if whites break the law, they punish him as well." Corresponds to the equallyable accountable in the correct option A. Accountable means that (people, organizations, institutions) should be responsible. (of a person, organization, or institution) required or expected to justify actions or decisions; responsible。 Example: Parents cannot be heldable for their children's action. Parents cannot be required to be responsible for their children's actions. Also note that the BCD three options, according to our common sense are not wrong, but the article does not mention, so can not choose. Passage 5。 43.C。 Details. Ask Passage 1 to suggest that secchi and his colleagues are different from previous researchers who have studied water passing through carbon nanotubes. Evidence on lines 23 to 25, "This measurement accuracy (which can be achieved with such precision) is a key step forward in the study." The corresponding precise measurements in the correct option C. ta fa 44.B。 Vocabulary questions. The reconcile of line 38 means "to make coexistence; to reconcile; to make conformity, to make conformity". cause to coexist in harmony; make or show to be compatible。 rM us Example: You may have to adjust your ideal to reconcile it with reality. Maybe you should adjust your ideals to make them realistic. Asked is line 38, we need to refer to the same batch of things according to the previous measurements of line 39, and the values of line 35, and then see line 35 say these values differ, we can correspond to the correct option in B discrepancies. 45.A。 M r. A m Details. Q What relationship did Secchi and his colleagues find between carbon nanotube radius and slip length, according to Passage 1? Here we start with lines 30 through 31, the larger the slip lengh, the smaller the friction. In addition, according to lines 40 to 44, radius and slip length are related, and the youngest radius, friction is almost zero, that is, the smaller the radius, the smaller the friction. Combined with these two places, we can exit, that is, the smaller the radius, the larger the slip length, the smaller the friction. So radius and slip length are anti-related relationships, so choose A. 46.D。 Details. Q. According to Passage 2, what is the effect of using carbon nanotubes with a diameter of 2 nanometers and carbon nanotubes with a diameter of 0.8 nanometers in the process of separating salt from salt water, assuming other conditions are the same? According to lines 74 to 82 of the article, when using carbon nanotubes with diameters greater than 1 nanometer, although water flow can also be enhanced, it still does not meet the transport efficiency of (natural) biological proteins, can not separate salts, only when the diameter is less than 1 nanometer. This is consistent with the correct option D. 47.B。 ta fa Vocabulary questions. Line 81 deliver means to come through with: PRODUCE Output. Example: The new car delivers high gas mileage. The unit fuel mileage of this new car is very high. The meaning of produce in the alternative is similar. 48.C。 or assessed。 rM us Separate proof-seeking questions. LLNL researchers use a process used by a living organization as a benchmark against which to evaluate the results of their experiments. Evidence in lines 74 through 79, biosological proteins in lines 77 to 78 corresponds to the living organisms in the trunk, and did not match in lines 77 corresponds to the asa benchmark in the trunk. Benchmark means "benchmark." a standard or point of reference against which things may be compared A m Based on something, the results of the experiment will be compared with this thing, and then know if the results of the experiment is match this thing. Match means "match; (quality or strength) and... Equivalent" r. be equal to (something) in quality or strength。 49.D。 M Details. Ask the assertion in lines 83 through 88 of the article that can be understood as, changing the parameter mentioned by Wanunu would produce...? Line 85 of the manipulation corresponds to the a given change in the trunk, line 85 to line 86 of the can enhance pore efficiency corresponds to the correct option D in the alteration in the pore efficiency. 50.C。 Two comprehensive analysis questions. The two Passages messages are the strongest hint: What would Secchi and his colleagues think is the reason for the "rapid increase in performance" observed by LLNL referred to in line 82? us ta fa Option A is incorrect because improvements in the observation method do not affect the performance of water through carbon nanotubes. Option B is wrong because the increase in molecular movement is the result of an increase in water flow through carbon nanotubes, not the cause. Option D is incorrect because each group in the experiment (each group is different from the radius) increases water pressure, which does not affect the results of the experiment. The C option is correct because, according to lines 30 to 32 of the article, the larger the slip length, the smaller the friction, and the more efficient the water passes, the more "boost in performance" mentioned in line 82 appears. 51.D。 rM The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last question, see the analysis of the last question. 52.B。 A m Two comprehensive analysis questions. Based on two articles, some of the carbon nanotubes used by LLNL researchers produced some results, and the carbon nanotubes used in experiments conducted by Secchi and colleagues may not have had these consequences. Which of the following options is such a consequence? Because friction is small in both experiments, option A is wrong. M r. Because according to lines 66 to 72 of the article, only in the second experiment, the diameter of the carbon nanotubes was less than 1 nanometer, and the same level as the bioological water transporter (line 71, that is, the cellular water transport channels on line 94, that is, the nature's own on line 97) could be achieved at the same level as the single-file mentioned in line 70 arrangement。 According to lines 43 to 44 of the article, in the first experiment, the minimum radius was 15 nanometers, i.e. 30 nanometers in diameter, much higher than 1 nanometer, so it was not possible to achieve the style-file arrangement mentioned in line 70. So option B is correct. Because in both experiments, the friction was relatively small, so the water flowed very quickly, so option C was wrong. M r. A m rM us ta fa Because in both experiments, water flowed due to differences in pressure, option D was wrong. WRITING Passage 1:Music is for the Birds。 1.A。 ta fa start down. The next sentence of examples is that researchers have found that humpback whales create long rhythmic songs (meaning similar to human music), and chimpanzees have been found to have characteristic rhythms (meaning similar to human music). Corresponding to option A. A Means that many animals make human-like music. 2.B。 rM us Coherent expression. In this sentence Cornell researchers Katy and Roger Payne are the main language, found is the predicate, starting from the tha is followed by the guest language, the main meaning of the structure of the guest does not need to add unnecessary punctuation. 3.A。 4.A。 A m Use a colon before the idiom at the end of the sentence. r. Sentence sorting. The first sentence has a theese sounds that explains that the previous sentence needs to account for a sound, and the sentence waiting to be sorted happens to have drumming noises, so it should be placed in front of the first sentence. M 5.D。 The following they recorded / the scientists measured can be seen below is a study conducted by scientists, so corresponding to the D option study. 6.A。 The paragraph is about a scientist's research, want to know how to count annimal musicality, how to be random tapping. Option A is a definition of what is in line with the content of this paragraph. 7.A。 Merge sentences. BCD is much err than A.

Line 19 to line 23 is to first say a translation version, and then the author's own psychological activities, feel that the original sound (music) and the sound of the ups and downs (lilt), in the translation is not reflected, and then changed to a new version of the translation.

The team squandered several good scoring chances. 10.C。 A m The team wasted several scoring opportunities. r. The subject of the rhetorical purpose.

Ask the Bonawitz and Shulz teams to take steps to ensure that ...? It is common to "exclude ... possible? "It's a different way of asking questions. Examine the experimental design. The evidence is on lines 23 to 26, and the first experiment is to get the kids to swing the block, swing it in half, and not let them, so that the ideas they used to bring (how to swing will balance) are not destroyed. That is, getting them to test their own initial beliefs in the first task (or stage) of the experiment. ta fa 14.C。 Separate proof-seeking questions.

Ask the rhetorical function of the sentence on lines 25 through 28. This sentence is mainly intended to explain the strange word viscoelastic in line 25 in popular language. Viscoelastic means "flexible" (having appreciable and conjoint viscous and elastic properties), which is learned in physics that ordinary people generally don't know, so the author uses lines 25 to 28 to say what Viscoelastic really means. 26.A。 The subject of the rhetorical purpose. It can be seen as a rhetorical function of ta fa asking the fifth natural paragraph, or as asking what the full text of the focus has gone from to. us Line 1 to line 28 is to introduce "the surface pressure of the liquid in the trap set by the pig cage grass is low, so that the worm can not walk on its surface, can not rM climb out" such a scientific research object and topic (subject), line 34 to 52, detailing David Armitage made an experiment on the subject.

The full text of the author uses us, our, we in many places, indicating that the author's position is the same as that of rM the indigenous peoples. So choose D. "Think you have the same characteristics or ideas as someone; think you're the same person as someone; identify with (someone) and empathy (someone) " (oneself assharing the same sames or thinking as someone else; to feel that you are similar to someone who's on the way and that you understand that person or the situation is because of this).

Ask lines 30 and 33, using three words, such as discovery, what rhetorical features? The equivalent of reusing discover three times, the repetitive function is often r. emphasized here that it is wrong to emphasize the use of the word discover, and M that it is wrong to say that Europeans discovered The Americas. The idea that "Europeans discovered America" failed to recognize the level of complexity and sophistication achieved by ancient American civilizations. So choose A. The verb sophisticate corresponding to the correct option A means "make (devices, technology, etc.) more complete (or complex advanced)" (develop something such as a piece of equipment or a technique into a more complex form) Some students wanted to choose option D, which said it was reused three times to point out that the development of indigenous civilizations was a precursor to European colonial action in the Americas. Please note that precursor means a person or thing that comes before of the same kind; a forerunner, so if it's a precursor, what happens before must be the same ta fa thing as what happens later. The article does not say that the development of indigenous civilizations in North America is similar to European colonial activities. us Also, to say three times is to emphasize that the word discover is wrong, that is, rM to point out a conception error. not to say that the two activities are similar. 39.B。 Details.

According to lines 44 to 49 of the article, the author believes that for this kind of r. contention to be achieved, there must be a bassis, that is, a prerequisite, that is, M the right guarantees for equality between the Government and society, corresponding to option B "pass a bill to ensure that the Government does not have an uneconciable (excessive) authority over indigenous communities in the country". (not...... disproportionate corresponds to equality). 40.B。 Separate proof-seeking questions. Menchu believes that this historic moment is a positive moment for indigenous Peoples of North America to seek public recognition of their cultural heritage. The evidence is in lines 52 to 57, the test of the Fifth Centenary of the arrival of the Columbus in America corresponding to the problem in the dry of the highstorical moment, the 56th line of the reissert corresponding to the question ta fa in the trunk of the public affirmation. Assert means "act with confidence to let others recognize and know their rights (or rights) " (one's authority or a right) by us confidence and forceful behaviour, pay attention to the English interpretation of rM "recognize", so that resert can correspond to the public affirmation in the caption. 41.D。 The main topic of the article. This question actually requires us to summarize the A m full text and find out which two priorities are mentioned in the full text by the author Menchu. Priority refers to what author Menchu thinks is a priority for indigenous people right r. now, so look at what she says, "What should we do?" M We can find lines 55 through 57, reassert our existence, 63rd line, the decision to maintain our traditions, which can correspond to the correct option A's preserving the cultural identity, while lines 21 to 26 are the benefits of make exchanges, You can correspond to the correct option. 42.A。 Vocabulary questions.

B) (Scientists) know that they are related to changes in magnetic fields, but what exactly is the relationship, not completely understand. C) Sometimes it happens when the strength of the magnetic field does not change, and scientists don't understand why. D) Previously (scientists) thought that the appearance of magnetic field reversal and magnetic field changes are two interrelated associations (the change of magnetic field, the occurrence of magnetic field flip), some recent findings weaken be no magnetic field flip). ta fa this view (now it is thought that even if there is a magnetic field change, there will us According to lines 14 through 18 and 27 to 30, scientists know that weakening is related to flip, but they don't quite understand the recent acceleration of magnetic rM field weakening. 45.A。 A m The question of seeking proof.

Ask Passage 2 what is the rhetorical function of the first natural segment? Passage 2 First Natural Paragraph (lines 38 to 50). Some 21st-century scientists have come up with the idea that we are in the early stages of a new magnetic field reversal. As the first sentence of line 38 says, this natural paragraph is in the opinion of those scientists in consider who think this view can be supported. Up ta fa to line 50, the author says, "Why do some scientists think there should be a caution for this idea and these ideas", and then begins to question the idea. The challenge us in correct option D means "questioning the authenticity (or validity) of (things)" rM (dispute the truth or validity of the ). So choose D. 48.B。 Vocabulary questions. Line 82 produce means "creating with intelligence or A m physical strength" (to compose, create, or bring out by intellectual or physical work). Devise in the alternative means "planning; invention; come up with (complex r. procedures, systems, or mechanisms)" M plan or invent (a complex procedure, system, or mechanism) by careful thought; to form in the mind by new combinations or applications of ideas or principles : INVENT 。 The two mean close. 49.D。 Two relationship questions. A) Passage 1 describes one thing, and Passage 2 suggests a way to assess the likelihood of this happening. (The second article is not about a way to assess the likelihood of geomagnetic reversal, so A is wrong.) ) B) Passage 1 presents a theory, and Passage 2 criticizes a general ta fa misunderstanding of the theory. (B is wrong because there is no misunderstanding of the theory.) ) us C) Passage 1 describes some of the data, and Passage 2 questions the accuracy of the data. rM (The second article does not say that the data in the first article is inaccurate, so C error) D) Passage 1 gives an interpretation of the signs, and Passage 2 questions multiple A m interpretations similar to this one. (The first article interprets the fact that geomagnetic reversal may have occurred earlier than previously thought, and the second article suggests that this interpretation is not necessarily correct, and that M r. geomagnetic reversal may not have occurred earlier than previously thought.) ) 。 50.A。 Two relationship questions. Q. What is the most likely response to Passage 1's hints on lines 34 to 37? First we find lines 34 through 37 and see the hint that "geomagnetic reversal may have occurred earlier than previously thought". Then we find Passage 2 lines 66 to 71, which say, "If the recent magnetic field strength is actually flat or above this average strength compared to the average strength of the past 100 years; 6,000 years ago, for example, the magnetic field was 40% less intense than it is now, but then, 5,900 years ago, 5,800 years ago, there was no reversal of the Earth's ta fa magnetic poles.

Both articles agree that the frequency at which the Earth's magnetic pole reversal M occurs can be discerned (evidence is in lines 35 and 48), so B is wrong. An estimate of the extent to which the Earth's overall magnetic field has weakened (recently) is not considered exaggerated in the first article and exaggerated in the second. So C is right. The two articles did not mention that it would take a very long time to make a reliable prediction. So D is wrong. r. M ta fa us rM A m WRITING Passage 1。 1.B。 The punctuation at the end of the sentence is determined by the main sentence, ta fa the main sentence of this sentence is the statement order, so the end of the sentence can not use a question mark, but should use a period, so exclude AD. us The order of the words from the sentence must be the order of the statement and rM not the order of the question, so B is not chosen C. 2.D。 Including is a preposition that needs to be used with a comma before it. Selecting 3.C。 A m ABC for this question will result in a run-on error. r. Select the transition sentence. The last sentence mentions three systems, and the M last of the systems in C is very good to undertake above. What is said in ABD has nothing to do with the last sentence. 4.A。 start down. Here's how scientists have known the math behind the turbulent flow for a long time, but there have been no supercomputers to apply this theory to solving real problems, and until recently petascale computers (millions of computers, the power supercomputers needed by the people mentioned earlier) have only recently become possible. ta fa 5.B。 The first half of the sentence is a while-guided concession clause, after the us sentence should be added a comma, and then take the main sentence, so choose rM B. 6.C。 Here so that guides a concession adverb clause. The whole sentence is that with A m a model that can take advantage of billions of times of computer technology, Chen and her team hope to improve the design of internal combustion engines so that they are 50 percent more efficient than existing internal combustion M r. engines. 7.C。 Word meaning analysis. The original text is meant to mean "current/current internal combustion engine", so choose C. A prevailing is "universal and prevalent", emphasizing the popularity of something over a period of time; D surviving means "still alive, not dead", emphasizing that something is still alive. 8.B。 The title asks for the next sentence, so it needs to focus on understanding what the next sentence means: she encourages young people, especially young women, to study math and science, and computer programming languages. This ta fa corresponds to the B option, Chen is a STEM advocate (that is, encouraging us people to learn STEM). The other options have little to do with the next sentence. rM 9.A。 The principle of simplicity and the meaning are accurate. THE CD is too long and not concise, but B's it will be unclear, which may lead the reader to understand A m the previous language, so can only choose doing so, said "do this", the previous only said one thing, that is, to encourage people to learn mathematics, science, r. programming language and other STEM subjects. M 10.C。 The original sentence was about "making science a part of everyday life", so it corresponded to C. Apart is "separated", a part is "part", every day is the noun "every day", and everyday is the adjective "everyday, daily". 11.D。 The whole article is about Chen's use of high technology to improve the efficiency of the internal combustion engine. Corresponding to D. 12.C。 ta fa Passage 2。 start down. Option C means "not everyone agrees with Wolfe's approach", and it us just happens that someone is accuse Wolfe. rM 13.B。 The principle of simplicity. The moreely for the purpose of option A is perfectly capable of taking a more concise approach, that is, "merely to", the C option's by A m using made-up material, and the previous concocting scenes semantic repetition. D's asserting that repeats the accused of the previous article. r. 14.C。 M The main meaning is the same. The main language of this sentence is praactitioners, so predicate verbs cannot be added to a third-person sing number. 15.B。 The point of this sentence and this paragraph is to say that the information is modified, a deviation from the facts. 16.A。 There's no need to leave behind the boundaries, because you don't need all the grids here to say " ... The genre needs to be left behind because it means "the ta fa most recent spoiler of the nonfiction genre." 17.D。 us Starting, this paragraph is mainly about the simple gaser fact can not show realities very well, then corresponding to the D option "his central argument-that rM facts do always not lead to greater truth-has merit." 18.C。 A m The tense, which is speaking of The Decades before D'Agata, belongs to the "past r. of the past" and should be used when the past is done. M 19.A。 Logical words. The previous sentence said truthfulness can be better expressed by emphasizing individuals' subjectiveities (by emphasizing the subjective reality of the individual, the truth can be better expressed), the latest sentence of the Vietnam War is an example, the mainstream American media at that time there was no emphasizing individuals' core realities, so missed the truth. The relationship between the first and last two sentences is that the latter is an example of the former. 20.C。 Compare the consistency of objects. The like attempt analogy in this sentence is ta fa the task of creative nonfiction writers, the core word is task is not writers, so task us can only like task, task can not like writers, or those (people), can not worklike. 21.B。 rM Coherent expression, this sentence is a coherent expression, the middle plus 22.A。 A m symbols belong to the unnecessary punctuation, so do not add. Express style. BC is a spoken expression and cannot be selected. Option D belongs M r. to pompous expression, not to call reader bibliophiles (good book maniac). Passage 3。 23.C。 Floating under the water's surface is the post-set adjective of the party, so the particle does not need to use all the grids, the back is not a noun modified by it, but rather a modified post-set of it. 24.A。 Distance's verb meaning is to become, or to make sb/sth become, less involved or connected with sb/sth (pull distance; with... alienation), which is exactly what There are many verb meanings of the verb: ta fa the phrase means, that Moore wants to distance himself from the trash metaphors. us 1、to divide into different parts or groups; to divide things into different parts or groups; rM 2、to move apart; to make people or things move apart; 3、to be between two people, areas, countries, etc. so that they are not touching or connected; A m 4、to make sb/sth different in some way from sb/sth else; 。 But whatever it means, it doesn't bring into the context of the sentence. r. 25.D。 M This question examines the difference between qualified and non-qualified clauses. Instance has a lot, so it needs to be qualified, it has to be qualified as "an example of a memorable metaphor that brings attention to a complex environmental problem", and there can be no colons after which. 26.B。 A gas that protects the planet from harmful ultraviolet rays this part is insertion, the left and right symbols need to be symmetrical, so this question needs to choose a dash to be symmetrical with the dash behind. 27.B。 ta fa Word meaning analysis. Coin's verb meaning fits exactly what this sentence is meant to mean: to invent a new word or phrase that other people then begin to us use creation (new words). rM 28.A。 Sentence sorting, this sentence is best placed in place, because the previous sentence said that "the researchers found that ozone levels over Antarctica have A m unusually low levels", followed by the third sentence of the condition just refers to the "unusually low levels of ozone" this condition, scientists called it "ozone hole", and then just followed by the fourth sentence "some people oppose the M r. name of this hole." 29.B。 Chart questions. The first (first) pick up appeared in 1986, when the value was in its early 20s. 30.D。 Chart question, 1989 corresponding to the ordinate is 80, 31.D。 Word meaning analysis. Its is "it", it's an abbreviation for it is (it is), affects is a third-person singrum of the verb affect, and effects is the plulule of the noun ta fa "influence". us 32.B。 The main meaning is the same. The main language of this sentence is distinction, rM sing sing. 33.A。 A m Logical words. The first two words here are a turning point. The previous sentence says "Science on factual precision" (of course, science relies on accurate descriptions that match the facts), and the longer sentence says that misleading r. metaphors attract media attention and take action to protect the environment M more than strictly accurate descriptions. Passage 4。 34.D。 Check to see if pronouns are unclear. There are a lot of song plumer nouns in front of this sentence, which can't be referred to with they. This sentence is not about stars, it's not about difficulties, it's about distance. 35.D。 Option D is the clearest expression of "this is the case" and the pronouns in ABC ta fa are unclear. us 36.B。 AC cannot be selected because there can be no colon or half sign between the rM clause clause and the previous modified noun. D cannot be selected because the stars behind the punctuation are the namesobs of the previous stars, and the half sign cannot be used between the preceding modified nouns, but should be used 37.A。 A m with commas, so B is selected. r. Sentence sorting, the two concepts in sentence 4 (luminous and period) are M introduced in sentence 1 and 3 respectively, so sentence 4 should be placed after the two concepts have been introduced. 38.C。 The principle of simplicity. ABD is all talk. 39.B。 Tense. According to the sentence meaning, here is a scene of imagine, and the appear of the first half of the sentence is also used in the general present, all the second half of the sentence should also be used in the general present time. ta fa 40.C。 The title requires repeating a detail from a previous sentence, note that it is not us the previous sentence, but from a previous sentence, so the information that is repeat can be information in any of the previous sentences, then the previous rM reference to the two variable stars see equally bright, but one period is more than the other. If the distance between the two earths is the same, then it makes sense that the period of the two should be the same, and the two periods are not the A m same degree of bright, so the article asks "So why do the stars see so similar?" "(i.e. what do they see equally bright?) ), then the conclusion can only be The r. longer-period star must be farther away. M 41.B。 Select the transition sentence. Option B accounts for the age when Levitt's research was published, better to take on the next sentence of "One year later" and further down "Now". 42.D。 For the first time is an insertion here, and the left and right should be separated by a double comma. 43.D。 Here the adverb is not decorated with a previous noun, but a whole sentence, so ta fa should use an unqualified clause clause, so you can not use a (because the that can not guide the non-qualified clause from the sentence), but can only use which, us and the before the which can only be comma or dash, , so choose D. rM 44.D。 Add or subtract sentence questions. The sentence waiting to increase or decrease is about Harvard's view of Levitt and has nothing to do with the context of the M r. A m discussion of the idea of leavitt's discovery. r.
