The average after-tax income for a household was 2.4 percent higher in 1983
than in 1982. At the same time, average after-tax income declined for househ
olds
at the lower-and middle-income levels.
Which of the following can be most reasonably inferred from the information
above?
There were more households overall in 1983 than in 1982.
There were fewer households at the upper-income level in 1983 than in 1982.
Total after-tax income for all households at the lower-and middle-income
levels was higher in 1983 than in 1982.
Average after-tax income for households at the upper-income level rose by
more than 2.4 percent between 1982 and 1983.
Average after-tax income for households at the lower-and middle-income
levels was declining prior to 1982.

答案:(D)
A study of attitudes toward new cars showed that cars that were identical in
every respect except color received widely differing ratings for quality fro
m
potential buyers. Therefore, in future advertisements for cars of high quali
ty,
we can expect to see no variety in the color of car featured.
Which of the following is an assumption made in the passage above?
If a car in a preferred color is not available, a buyer is usually willing
to accept the car in another color.
New cars differ significantly from each other with respect to quality.
There is a single color generally associated with the highest quality
rating in the study.
An advertisement for a particular car should display all of its significant
advantages.
Potential buyers give more weight to color than to price in making a decisi
on
about a car.

答案:(C)
问题:下面哪一个是上文的假设?
读题:对新汽车的态度调查表明:除颜色之外,其他任何方面都相同的汽车受到了来自
潜
在消费者的广泛的评价。因此,在未来对高质量汽车的广告中,我们可以预见汽
车
的颜色将没有区别。
分析:读题的一点就是注意描述性的量词,倒数第二行的no是我们必须要注意的。
调查表明颜色不一样,其他相同的车评价不一样,于是就得出颜色将没有区别,
也
就是只有一种颜色。颜色不一样和只有一种颜色是有区别的,必须基于一个假设
。
A.如果某一款车购买者偏爱的颜色没有了,购买者通常愿意接受其他颜色。
C.在研究中,某种颜色通常是与高质量评分相关。
Sometime during the 1950's, rock music permanently ousted jazz from the musi
c
scene. This is evident from the behavior of youths of that time. In crowded
nightclubs they would applaud rock acts enthusiastically. But when a jazz ac
t
began, they went outside and got refreshments. They came back in only when t
he
jazz set was finished.
Which of the following statements, if true, is a valid objection to the
conclusion drawn above?
Jazz is the most important musical contribution of the United States to
world culture.
Although some young people who attended nightclubs in the 1950's did try
to listen to jazz, they eventually became bored with it.
Since the 1960's, rock music has not only provided youths with recreating
but has, as well, become a rallying point for making social statements.
Although by 1960 jazz performances were less popular, there has since been
a revival of interest in jazz among middle-class professionals.
Jazz steadily increased in popularity between the 1930's and the 1950's.

问题:下面哪一个陈述,if true,是上文结论的有效反对?
读题:在19世纪五十年代的某些时候,摇滚音乐永久性地把爵士音乐赶出了音乐舞台。
证
据来源于那个时代年轻人的行为。在拥挤的夜总会,他们会热情地欢迎摇滚,但是当爵
士
乐开始的时候,他们就走出去直到爵士乐结束才回来。
分析:读题时注意第一行permanently,有点过分
因为年轻人的行为显示喜欢摇滚,不喜欢Jazz,
因此得到结论:摇滚乐把爵士乐永久地逐出了音乐舞台。
因为论据是一个事实,你不能直接反对原因,反对形式为:
1、还有其他因素影响这个结论,说明爵士音乐没有被永久性地赶出舞台。
2、年轻人这么做,也不能表明爵士音乐被永久赶出
A.Jazz是美国对世界文化的最重要贡献
C.尽管在夜总会的一些年轻人试图听爵士乐,但是最终他们厌烦了
(可以为支持)
D.尽管到1960年爵士乐不再流行,在中年人中间对爵士乐有一个复兴的兴趣。
(年轻人不喜欢,但是中年人还是喜欢,说明爵士乐并没有被永久地赶出去)

The officers of Renco Manufacturing are analyzing their company's chances
of winning a large contract to manufacture equipment for the state highway
department. Renco is one of five companies competing for the contract: the
others are Selway, Inc., Tate Industries, Upshaw Corp., and Velco. The contr
act
will be awarded on the basis of points given in three categories: cost, amou
nt
of experience on similar contracts, and quality of equipment. In each catego
ry,
the company that is best in that category will receive five points, the seco
nd
best, 4 points, and so on down to 1. There will be no ties within any of the
categories. The company that receives the highest total number of points wil
l
be awarded the contract. In the event of a tie, the company with the higher
number of 5's will be awarded the contract; if the number of 5's is the same
additional criteria will be used to break the tie.
The highest total number of points that any of the competing companies can
receive is
twelve
fourteen
fifteen
twenty
twenty-five
————————————————————————
答案:(C)
If no one company is given the same number of points in any two categories,
the highest possible winning total is
eleven
twelve
thirteen
fourteen
fifteen
————————————————————————
答案:(B)
If the five companies tie with nine points each, which of the following
CANNOT be the distribution of points received by any of the companies?
Three 3's
Two 4's and a 1
A 5 and two 2's
A 4, a 3, and a 2
A 5, a 3, and a 1
————————————————————————
答案:(A)
If Selway, Inc. and Velco between them receive all of the 1's and 2's and
each of the remaining three competitors receives a 5, Renco would need to
receive how many points in addition to its 5 to be awarded the contract
without having first been tied for total number of points?
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Eight

答案:(E)
Persons imprisoned for violent street crimes often commit the same crimes
again after being released. Persons imprisoned for white-collar crimes such
as
receiving bribes or embezzlement, however, typically do not, after being rel
eased,
repeat the crimes for which they have been imprisoned. It is fair to conclud
e
that imprisonment, while it often fails to change the behavior of violent st
reet
criminals, does succeed in making white-collar criminals unwilling to repeat
their crimes.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the conclusion
stated above?
Statistics show that persons convicted of committing white-collar crimes
rarely have a prison record.
The percentage of those who commit white-collar crimes and are imprisoned
for doing so is lower than the percentage of those who commit violent stre
et
crimes and are imprisoned for doing so.
White-collar criminals whose prison sentences are shortened return to
criminal activities at a slightly higher rate than white-collar criminals
who serve their full sentences.
Persons released from prison after white-collar crimes are seldom given
high positions or access to other people's money.
Persons who commit violent street crimes seldom commit white-collar crimes,
and vice versa.

答案:(D)
问题:下面哪一个,if true,将削弱上面的论述?
读题:由于暴力街道犯罪而被监禁的人在释放之后,经常犯同样的罪。然而对于白领犯
罪,
比如说犯贿赂罪或贪污罪而被监禁的人在释放之后,不再犯同样的罪。因此可以公正地
得
到结论,监禁尽管不能改变街道犯罪者的行为,确实能成功地使得白领罪犯不再重复犯
罪。
分析:原文从一个事实,监禁以后,暴力街道犯罪还是继续犯罪,而白领犯罪不再犯同
样
的罪得到结论,监禁成功地使得白领罪犯不再犯罪。结论对事实作了一个解释。
反对形式为:
1、有其它的原因来解释为什么监禁以后,暴力街道犯罪还是继续犯罪,而白领犯罪不
犯同
样的罪。
2、直接反对不是监禁使白领不再犯罪。
D.犯白领罪后从监狱释放的人很少被给予高职位或者接近他人的钱
(表明白领犯罪之后,已经没有机会让他们去犯罪,从另一个角度解释了上面的事实)
Industrial solvents, which can damage the liver, kidneys, and nervous
system, often drain into public water supplies. currently, tested water is
considered pure if the amount of solvent an individual is exposed to through
drinking one-half gallon of water per day— roughly what a typical adult dri
nks
per day— does not pose a significant threat to human health. But many
toxicologists claim that the standard set by this method does not adequately
protect the public.
Which of the following, if true, would best support the claim of the toxicol
ogists
mentioned above?
The figure of one-half gallon a day includes water contained in beverages
such as soft drinks, which are often bottled at locations distant from whe
re
they are consumed.
Some industrial solvents have less toxic but more expensive analogues that
industry has not adopted for use.
Water treatment centers usually filter out bacteria and other organisms
before the water is pumped into public supply systems.
Industrial polluters are rarely fined or punished, even when they knowingly
allow toxic chemicals to enter water supplies.
More solvent enters the body through skin absorption, during washing and
bathing, than through drinking.

答案:(E)
Many behavioral studies of the psychological capacities of animals reveal
hardly any difference between rats and chimpanzees. The most reasonable
explanation for such results is that the studies themselves are inadequate.
The argument above relies on the unstated premise that
rats and chimpanzees do not have highly developed psychological capacities
the results of psychological studies of animals are often misinterpreted by
biased experimenters
there is no way to measure objectively the psychological capacities of
animals
there is considerable difference between the psychological capacities of
rats and those of chimpanzees
examining the brain of an animal is a better means of determining its
psychological capacity than is a study of the animal's behavior
