This passage is based on an article published in 1990.

          Eight times within the pat million years, some-
          thing in the Earth’s climatic equation has changed.
          allowing snow in the mountains and the northern
Line  latitudes to accumulate from one season to the next
(5)     instead of melting away. Each time, the enormous ice
          sheets resulting from this continual buildup lasted tens
          of thousands of years until the end of each particular
          glacial cycle brought a warmer climate. Scientists
          speculated that these glacial cycles were ultimately
(10)  driven by astronomical factors: slow, cyclic changes
         in the eccentricity of the Earth’s orbit and in the tilt
         and orientation of its spin axis. But up until around
         30 years ago, the lack of an independent record of ice-
         age timing made the hypothesis untestable.
(15)   Then in the early 1950’s Emiliani produced the
        first complete record of the waxings and wanings
        of past glaciations. It came from a seemingly odd
        place. the seafloor. Single-cell marine organisms
        called "foraminifera" house themselves in shells made
(20) from calcium carbonate. When the foraminifera die.
         sink to the bottom, and become part of seafloor sedi-
         ments, the carbonate of their shells preserves certain
        characteristics of the seawater they inhabited. In
        particular, the ratio of a heavy, isotope of oxygen
(25) (oxygen-18) to ordinary oxygen (oxygen- 16) in the
        carbonate preserves the ratio of the two oxygens in
        water molecules.
          It is now understood that the ratio of oxygen iso-
        topes in seawater closely reflects the proportion of
(30) the world’s water locked up in glaciers and ice sheets.
         A kind of meteorological distillation accounts for the
         link. Water molecules containing the heavier isotope
         tend to condense and fall as precipitation slightly
         sooner than molecules containing the lighter isotope.
(35)  Hence, as water vapor evaporated from warm oceans
        moves away from its source. its oxygen -18 returns
        more quickly to the oceans than does its oxygen-16.
          What falls as snow on distant ice sheets and mountain
        glaciers is relatively depleted of oxygen -18. As the
(40) oxygen-18-poor ice builds up the oceans become
        relatively enriched in the Isotope. The larger the ice
        sheets grow, the higher the proportion of oxygen-18
        becomes in seawater- and hence in the sediments.
         Analyzing cores drilled from seafloor sediments,
(45) Emiliani found that the isotopic ratio rose and fell in
       rough accord with the Earth’s astronomical cycles.
       Since that pioneering observation, oxygen-isotope
       measurements have been made on hundreds of cores
         A chronology for the combined record enables scien-
(50)tists to show that the record contains the very same
       periodicities as the orbital processes. Over the past
       800,000 years, the global ice volume has peaked
       every 100,000 years, matching the period of the
         orbital eccentricity variation. In addition, “wrinkles”
(55)  superposed on each cycle ?small decreases or surges
       in ice volume ? have come at intervals of roughly
       23,000 and 41,000 years, in keeping with the pre-
       cession and tilt frequencies of the Earth’s spin axis.

17. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
(A) Marine sediments have allowed scientists to amass evidence tendingto confirm that astronomical cycles drive the Earth’s glacial cycles.
(B) the ratio between two different isotopes of oxygen in seawater correlates closely with the size of the Earth’s ice sheets.
(C) Surprisingly, single-cell marine organisms provide a record of the Earth’s ice ages.
(D) The Earth’s astronomical cycles have recently been revealed to have an unexpectedly large impact on the Earth’s climate.
(E) The earth has experienced eight periods of intense glaciation inthe past million years, primarily as a result of substantial changes inits orbit.

18. The passage asserts that one reason that oceans become enriched in oxygen ? 18 as ice sheets grow is because
(A) water molecules containing oxygen ?18 condense and fall as precipitation slightly sooner than those containing oxygen ?16
(B) the ratio of oxygen- 18 to oxygen- 16 in water vapor evaporatedfrom oceans is different from that of these isotopes in seawater
(C) growing ice sheets tend to lose their oxygen- I 8 as the temperature of the oceans near them gradually decreases
(D) less water vapor evaporates from oceans during glacial periods and therefore less oxygen-18 is removed from the seawater
(E) the freezing point of seawater rich in oxygen-18 is slightly lower than that of seawater poor in oxygen- 18

19. According to the passage. the large ice sheets
   typical of glacial cycles are most directly
   caused by
   (A) changes in the average temperatures in the
      tropics and over open oceans
   (B) prolonged increases in the rate at which water
      evaporates from the oceans
   (C) extreme seasonal variations in temperature in
      northern latitudes and in mountainous areas
   (D) steadily increasing precipitation rates in
     northern latitudes and in mountainous areas
(E) the continual failure of snow to melt completely during the warmer seasons in northern latitudes and in mountainous areas

20. It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following istrue of the water locked in glaciers and ice sheets today?
(A) It is richer in oxygen- 18 than frozen water was during past glacial periods.
(B) It is primarily located in the northern latitudes of the Earth.
(C) Its ratio of oxygen isotopes is the same as that prevalent in seawater during the last ice age.
(D) It is steadily decreasing in amount due to increased thawing during summer months.
(E) In comparison with seawater, it is relatively
     poor in oxygen-18.

21. The discussion of the oxygen-isotope ratios in paragraph three ofthe passage suggests that which of the following must be assumed if theconclusions described in lines 49-58 are to be validly drawn?
(A) The Earth's overall annual precipitation rates do not dramatically increase or decrease over time.
(B) The various chemicals dissolved in seawater have had the same concentrations over the past million years.
(C) Natural processes unrelated to ice formation do not result in the formation of large quantities of oxygen- 18.
(D) Water molecules falling as precipitation usually fall on the open ocean rather than on continents or polar ice packs.
(E) Increases in global temperature do not increase the amount of water that evaporates from the oceans.

22. The passage suggests that the scientists who first constructed acoherent. continuous picture of past variations in marine-sedimentisotope ratios did which of the following?
(A) Relied primarily on the data obtained from the analysis of Emiliani’s core samples.
(B) Combined data derived from the analysis of many different core samples.
(C) Matched the data obtained by geologists with that provided by astronomers.
(D) Evaluated the isotope-ratio data obtained in several areas in order to eliminate all but the most reliable data.
(E) Compared data obtained from core samples in many different marineenvironments with data samples derived from polar ice caps.

23. The passage suggests that the scientists mentioned in line 8considered their reconstruction of past astronomical cycles to be
(A) unreliable because astronomical observations have been made and recorded for only a few thousand years
(B) adequate enough to allow that reconstruction’s use in explaining glacial cycles if a record of the latter could be found
(C) in need of confirmation through comparison with an independent source of information about astronomical phenomena
(D) incomplete and therefore unusable for the purposes of explaining the causes of ice ages
(E) adequate enough for scientists to support conclusively the idea that ice ages were caused by astronomical changes

         Although Victor Turner’s writings have proved

       fruitful for fields beyond anthropology, his definition

         of ritual is overly restrictive. Ritual, he says, is “pre-

list    scribed formal behavior for occasions not given over

(5)    to technological routine, having reference to beliefs in

         mystical beings or powers,” “ Technological routine”

         refers to the means by which a social group provides

         for its material needs. Turner’s differentiating ritual

         from technology helps us recognize that festivals and

(10)  celebrations may have little purpose other than play,

         but it obscures the practical aims, such as making

         crops grow or healing patients, of other rituals. Further,

         Turner’s definition implies a necessary relationship

         between ritual and mystical beliefs. However, not all

(15)  rituals are religious; some religions have no reference
       to mystical beings; and individuals may be required
       only to participate in, not necessarily believe in, a
         ritual. Turner's assumption that ritual behavior follows
       belief thus limits the usefulness of his definition in
(20)studying ritual across cultures.

24. According to the passage, which of the following
   does Turner exclude from his conception of ritual?
   (A) Behavior based on beliefs
   (B) Behavior based on formal rules
   (C) Celebrations whose purpose is play
   (D) Routines directed toward practical ends
   (E) Festivals honoring supernatural beings

25. The passage suggests that an assumption underlying Turner’s definition of ritual is that
(A) anthropological concepts apply to other fields
(B) festivals and ceremonies are related cultural phenomena
(C) there is a relationship between play and practical ends
(D) rituals refer only to belief in mystical beings or powers
(E) mystical beings and powers have certain common attributes across cultures

26. It can be inferred that the author of the passage believes each of the following concerning rituals EXCEPT:
(A) Some are unrelated to religious belief.
(B) Some are intended to have practical consequences.
(C) Some have no purpose other than play.
(D) They sometimes involve reference to mystical beings.
(E) They are predominantly focused on agricultural ends.

27. Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?
(A) Factual data are presented and a hypothesis is proposed.
(B) A distinction is introduced then shown not to be a true distinction.
(C) A statement is quoted, and two assumptions on which it is based are clarified.
(D) A definition is challenged, and two reasons for the challenge are given.

       Benjamin Franklin established that lightning is
       the transfer of positive or negative electrical charge
       between regions of a cloud or from cloud to earth.
lineSuch transfers require that electrically neutral clouds,

(5)    with uniform charge distributions, become electrified
       by separation of charges into distinct regions. The
       greater this separation is, the greater the voltage. or

       electrical potential of the cloud. Scientists still do not
       now the precise distribution of charges in thunder-
(10)clouds nor how separation adequate to support the
       huge voltages typical of lightning bolts arises.

       According to one theory, the precipitation hypothesis,
       charge separation occurs as a result of precipitation.
       Larger droplets in a thundercloud precipitate down-
(15)ward past smaller suspended droplets. Collisions
       among droplets transfer negative charge to precip-
       itating droplets, leaving the suspended droplets with
       a positive charge, thus producing a positive dipole in
       which the lower region of the thundercloud is filled
(20)with negatively charged raindrops and the upper with
       positively charged suspended droplets.

17. The passage is primarily concerned with discussing which of the following?
(A) A central issue in the explanation of how lightning occurs
(B) Benjamin Franklin's activities as a scientist
(C) Research into the strength and distribution of thunderstorms
(D) The direction of movement of electrical charges in thunderclouds
(E) The relation between a cloud's charge distribution and its voltage

18. The passage suggests that lightning bolts typically
(A) produce a distribution of charges called a positive dipole in the clouds where they originate
(B) result in the movement of negative charges to the centers of the clouds where they originate
(C) result in the suspension of large, positively charged raindrops at the tops of the clouds where they originate
(D) originate in clouds that have large numbers of negatively charged droplets in their upper regions
(E) originate in clouds in which the positive and negative charges are not uniformly distributed

19. According to the passage, Benjamin Franklin contributed to the scientific study of lightning by
(A) testing a theory proposed earlier, showing it to be false, anddeveloping an alternative, far more successful theory of his own
(B) making an important discovery that is still important for scientific investigations of lightning
(C) introducing a hypothesis that, though recently shown to be false,proved to be a useful source of insights for scientists studyinglightning
(D) developing a technique that has enabled scientists to measure moreprecisely the phenomena that affect the strength and location oflightning bolts
(E) predicting correctly that two factors previously thought unrelatedto lightning would eventually be shown to contribute jointly to thestrength and location of lightning bolts

20. Which of the following, if true, would most seriously undermine theprecipitation hypothesis, as it is set forth in the passage?
(A) Larger clouds are more likely than smaller clouds to becharacterized by complete separation of positive and negative charges.
(B) In smaller clouds lightning more often occurs within the cloud than between the cloud and the earth.
(C) Large raindrops move more rapidly in small clouds than they do in large clouds.
(D) Clouds that are smaller than average in size rarely, if ever, produce lightning bolts.
(E) In clouds of all sizes negative charges concentrate in the center of the clouds when the clouds become electrically charged


         Before Laura Gilpin (1891-1979), few women in
       the history of photography had so devoted themselves
       to chronicling the landscape. Other women had photo-
linegraphed the land, but none can be regarded as a land-
(5)   scape photographer with a sustained body of     work
       documenting the physical terrain. Anne Brigman
       often photographed woodlands and coastal areas, but
       They were generally settings for her artfully placed
       subjects. Dorothea Lange's landscapes were always
(10)conceived of as counterparts to her portraits of rural
       women.
           At the same time that Gilpin's interest in landscape
         work distinguished her from most other women pho-
         tographers, her approach to landscape photography set
(15)her apart from men photographers who, like Gilpin,
       documented the western United States. Western
         American landscape photography grew out of a male
       tradition, pioneered by photographers attached to
       government and commercial survey teams that went
(20)west in the 1860's and 1870's. These explorer-
       photographers documented the West that their
       employers wanted to see: an exotic and majestic land
       shaped by awesome natural forces, unpopulated and
       ready for American settlement. The next generation
(25)of male photographers, represented by Ansel Adams
       and Eliot Porter, often worked with conservationist
       groups rather than government agencies or commer-
       cial companies, but they nonetheless preserved the
       “heroic” style and maintained the role of respectful
(30)outsider peering in with reverence at a fragile natural
         world.
           For Gilpin, by contrast, the landscape was neither
       an empty vista awaiting human settlement nor a
       jewel-like scene resisting human intrusion, but a
(35)  peopled landscape with a rich history and tradition of
         its own, an environment that shaped and molded the
         lives of its inhabitants. Her photographs of the Rio
         Grande, for example, consistently depict the river in
         terms of its significance to human culture: as a source
(40)  of irrigation water, a source of food for livestock, and
       a provider of town sites. Also instructive is Gilpin's
         general avoidance of extreme close-ups of her natural
       subjects: for her, emblematic details could never
         suggest the intricacies of the interrelationship between
(45)  people and nature that made the landscape a compel-
         ling subject. While it is dangerous to draw conclusions
       about a“feminine” way of seeing from the work of
         one woman, it can nonetheless be argued that Gilpin's
         unique approach to landscape photography was anal-
(50)ogous to the work of many women writers who, far
         more than their male counterparts, described the land-
       scape in terms of its potential to sustain human life.
         Gilpin never spoke of herself as a photographer
       with a feminine perspective: she eschewed any
(55)discussion of gender as it related to her work and
         maintained little interest in interpretations that relied
       on the concept of a “woman's eye.” Thus it is ironic
       that her photographic evocation of a historical
       landscape should so clearly present a distinctively
       feminine approach to landscape photography.

21. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
(A) Gilpin's landscape photographs more accurately documented theSouthwest than did the photographs of explorers and conservationists.
(B) Gilpin's style of landscape photography substantially influenced the heroic style practiced by her male counterparts.
(C) The labeling of Gilpin's style of landscape photography as feminine ignores important ties between it and the heroic style.
(D) Gilpin's work exemplifies an arguably feminine style of landscapephotography that contrasts with the style used by her male predecessors.
(E) Gilpin's style was strongly influenced by the work of women writerswho described the landscape in terms of its relationship to people.

22. It can be inferred from the passage that the teams mentioned inline 19 were most interested in which of the following aspects of theland in the western United States?
(A) Its fragility in the face of increased human intrusion
(B) Its role in shaping the lives of indigenous peoples
(C) Its potential for sustaining future settlements
(D) Its importance as an environment for RARE PLANTS AND ANIMALS
(E) Its unusual vulnerability to extreme natural forces

23. The author of the passage claims that which of the following is theprimary reason why Gilpin generally avoided extreme close-ups ofnatural subjects?
(A) Gilpin believed that pictures of natural details could not depict the interrelationship between the land and humans.
(B) Gilpin considered close-up photography to be too closely associated with her predecessors.
(C) Gilpin believed that all of her photographs should include people in them.
(D) Gilpin associated close-up techniques with photography used for commercial purposes.
(E) Gilpin feared that pictures of small details would suggest an indifference to the fragility of the land as a whole.

24. The passage suggests that a photographer who practiced the heroicstyle would be most likely to emphasize which of the following in aphotographic series focusing on the Rio Grande ?
(A) Indigenous people and their ancient customs relating to the river
(B) The exploits of navigators and explorers
(C) Unpopulated, pristine parts of the river and its surroundings
(D) Existing commercial ventures that relied heavily on the river
(E) The dams and other monumental engineering structures built on the river

25. It can be inferred from the passage that the first two generationsof landscape photographers in the western United States had which ofthe following in common?
(A) They photographed the land as an entity that had little interaction with human culture.
(B) They advanced the philosophy that photographers should resist alliances with political or commercial groups.
(C) They were convinced that the pristine condition of the land needed to be preserved by government action.

以下内容有首席斑竹Demo提供~

部分勘误及争议题目解析

精华区前辈类比精解: https://bbs.gter.net/thread-531844-1-1.html

S1-17
图中shaded region为三角形MNP

S2-6
6. MacCrory’s conversation was --------: she could never tell a story, chiefly because she always forgot it, and she was never guilty of a witticism, unless by accident.
  (A) scintillating
  (B) unambiguous
  (C) perspicuous
  (D) stultifying
  (E) facetious
-----------------------------
答案:A || 陈圣元 (个人认为选D)
解析:
冒号后面的内容解释空格, 表明”笨拙”或者”小白”, 故选D. 比较不好理解的是be never guilty of, 意思应该是”为...负责”, 即说不出来的意思. 全句的解释: MC的谈话很让人郁闷, 讲故事老忘词, 也没什么俏皮话, 偶尔的一两句那简直是意外. 选A显然弄反了意思.

S2-13
13. VOICE:SHOUT::
   (A) ear : overhear
   (B) eve : see
   (C) hand : clutch
   (D) nerve : feel
   (E) nose : inhale
---------------------
答案:B || C (个人支持C)
解析:
voice为声带而非声音, 人体器官及其功能的关系.
B: see是eye最直接的功能, 而clutch和hand的关系没有这么直接.
C: shout是声带用力的结果, clutch是手用力的结果, 而eye看不会很用力.

S2-16
16. INDIGENT : WEALTH::
   (A) presumptuous : independence
   (B) imperturbable : determination
   (C) inevitable : inescapability
   (D) indigestible : sustenance
   (E) redundant : indispensability
--------------------
答案B->E
解析:
缺乏关系.

S5-6
Originally, most intellectual criticism of mass culture was ____ in character, being based on the assumption that the wider the appeal, the more ____ the product.
(A) unpredictable ... undesirable
(B) ironic ... popular
(C) extreme ... outlandish
(D) frivolous ... superfluous
(E) negative ... shoddy
---------------------
陈圣元: B | 其他：E
解析:
B: 陈认为后半句的假设实际上就是通俗文化的精神实质，所以理性批判的前提假设实际上与通俗文化一致，故理性批判对通俗文化的批判就变成了对自己的根本前提的批判，所以非常可笑。全句译意为从体质上说，大多数对通俗文化的理性批判在其内涵上是可笑的，它们建立在这样的假设之上，即吸引力越广泛，作品越受欢迎。
E: most intellectual criticism of mass culture是有特定含义的，指的是精英或者学院派知识分子对大众文化的批评，比如法兰克福学派的批评，这些人通常都有马克思主义的影响，他们通常认为大众文化是低俗的，是资本主义在文化的反应。所以，应该是直接给负评价。其次，在他们看来，大众文化虽然观众很多，但这正是其低俗不堪的象征。比如，欧洲的一些艺术导演对好莱坞的评价也受到这个影响，去年拍《三峡好人》的贾樟柯对张艺谋的黄金甲也是如此评价。(by zanyfaint 6G的讨论)

S4-10
Carol’s age, in years, can be expressed by reversing the digits in her father’s age, in years. The sum of the digits in each age is 10.
The positive difference between Carol’s age, in years, and her father’s age, in years    36
----------------------
答案:B-> D
解析:
reverse 是颠倒数位上的数字，假定父女都是两位数的年龄, 那么两个数加起来是10的有1-9 2-8 3-7 4-6这几种组合. 91-19=72 , 而64-46=18. 所以不确定，选D。

S5-10
10. ADMONISH: DENOUNCE::
(A) challenge: overcome
(B) reward: praise
(C) control: contain
(D) persuade: convince
(E) punish: pillory
----------------------
答案：D->E
解析:
提干和E的右项都有公开的意思.

Q还是做不到全对，错两个，一个算错，一个勾错

我觉得数学如果时间允许的话，最好还是先写好答案，然后再涂卡

这次V采用了新战术，第一个做反义，然后再填空，然后类比

主要一来防止涂错卡，二来前两次填空的错误率又高，又耗时

结果好不容易阅读上去了一点点，多对了一个，

类比又错得惨绝人寰，错8个

什么punch line，martinet都是没概念的词- -!!!

救命~~~~~~~~

Section2的10，为什么选C？ varnish应该是increase glossy的吧，可是C send应该会decrease smooth的啊？

13题我的eye印成了eve，所以选了C，不过我个人比较倾向B

Section5的4为什么不能选D，以前是只有历史学家用，现在被越来越多的人接受，那个amorphous不是无定形的意思么？放在这里怎么解释？

5为什么不能选B呢，他不承认任何的意见，所以最后，他和我们一起无视。A的话，既然不能忍受argument，怎么还会保持silence呢？

11题也不明白，plot和denouement是什么关系呢？

13题我觉得是程度类比，reprobate是轻度的misbehave，critic是轻度的rebuke

谢谢

我已经决定了，短阅读肯定放弃了（打算全选D，今天8个居然中了3个），填空花8分钟，类反8-9分钟，剩下就好好整长阅读

几次模考下来成绩都在450-500间徘徊，不知最后这几天该怎么利用，能够至少上1300，尽量1350呀。我要求不是很高吧！毕竟够申请就够了。有没有希望呀？？？

我这几天在听老俞的串讲，每天三小时，到周五刚好听完，呵呵，虽然有点晚了，但是还是觉得有点用的，另外看猴哥的类反，虽然也有点晚了，不过它里面都是大写，我刚好熟悉一下

然后还把红宝不认识的单词挑出来，专门背，大概有4-500个左右，其实远不止，因为对书多少有点顺序概念了，背这个最郁闷，因为好像那些记不住的，死活都记不住

我觉得阅读还是不能放，经过类反的下坡路和阅读的上坡路之后我觉得，想要有个稳定的成绩，阅读不能丢。

至于填空吧，我已经快完全失去信心了，正确率完全是随机事件:(

Section2的10，为什么选C？ varnish应该是increase glossy的吧，可是C sand应该会decrease smooth的啊？

回答：sand还有：To polish or scrape with sand or sandpaper，用沙子或砂纸擦光，老俞串讲中好像曾经说过，不过我还是没对。

Section5的4为什么不能选D，以前是只有历史学家用，现在被越来越多的人接受，那个amorphous不是无定形的意思么？放在这里怎么解释？

回答：我也有同样的问题呀。amorphous是不确定的意思。是不是ETS出题认为：只要是比较级，那肯定是相反的? 或者说有个时间对比，那么它表达的意思就为相反？(但recent前面有个and，按答案说的话应该是为but才对的吧？）

5为什么不能选B呢，他不承认任何的意见，所以最后，他和我们一起无视。A的话，既然不能忍受argument，怎么还会保持silence呢？

回答：enjoin是命令的意思。A对应的蛮好的，B说不出理由，但总感觉太别扭了。

11题也不明白，plot和denouement是什么关系呢？

回答：我也没作对，黄祈老师的解释为plot : denouement：小说的情节，结构：结局（组成关系）

13题我觉得是程度类比，reprobate是轻度的misbehave，critic是轻度的rebuke

回答：黄祈老师的解释：正面特征，题干和A都是贬义，而B是中性

[ 本帖最后由 biosoft 于 2008-6-4 16:42 编辑 ]

问几道填空，可能有点多。

Section 2：
5. The senator's attempt to convince the public that
  she is not interested in running for a second term
  is as -------- as her opponent's attempt to disguise
  his intention to run against her.
  (A) biased
  (B) unsuccessful
  (C) inadvertent
  (D) indecisive
  (E) remote
此题思路是什么？陈圣元说B与attempt最搭配，这也太牵强了吧！（这题都连续考过三次了，没一次作对了，哎！）

第6题中的: ..., and she was never guilty of a witticism, ... 是怎么理解的？好像版主跟陈圣元理解不一样呀。（此题我是猜的，居然对了，无语。呵呵）

Section 5：
第一题：题目是不是前后有一个隐藏的转折关系在里面呀，可以理解为：虽然她害怕登山，但是这并没有减少她参加攀岩的决心
但如果此题改为：
1. That she was _____ rock climbing did diminish her _____to join her friends on a rock-climbing expedition.
(A) attracted to ...eagerness
(B) timid about ... reluctance
(C) fearful of ... determination
(D) curious about ... aspiration
(E) knowledgeable about ... hope
此时答案好像C也说的过去，此时是要用前后同义来解。总决的有点说不出的感觉，还请高人指点！

2. Data concerning the effects on a small population of high concentrations of a potentially hazardous chemical are frequently usedto ____ the effects on a large population of lower amounts of the samechemical.
(A) verify
(B) redress
(C) predict
(D) realize
(E) augment
这题为什么选C呢？我答题时的思路是：空的前半部分讲small population of high concentrations，而后面为large population of lower amounts ，这显然为一对反义词，因此答案只能为表示反义的词吧，当初选的是B。不过C读其来也挺通顺的，但好像不符合ETS的逻辑关系吧？还是我分析的不对？

另外：陈圣元书上说：如果有一空为副词，则分析句子时可直接忽视掉该副词来理解意思，但我总觉得好像有点不是太好，因为毕竟副词还是有些是表反义的，那这样的话其修饰动词后是否也会改变动词要表达的意思呀？还是说不管副词是什么其动词表达的意思就为那就话的意思。（Section 2中4题就是这样一种情况）

paradoxically到底表示的是肯定还是否定呀？如“某某是paradoxically” 是说它自相矛盾还是说它“似非而可能是的”
Webster上有这样一条解释：a statement that is seemingly contradictory or opposed to common sense and yet is perhaps true。老俞串讲中好像也强调了这个意思。

谢谢！

问几道填空题，其实前边有人已经问过了

2. Data concerning the effects on a small population of highconcentrations of a potentially hazardous chemical are frequently usedto ____ the effects on a large population of lower amounts of the samechemical.
(A) verify
(B) redress
(C) predict
(D) realize
(E) augment
我选的也是B，当时也觉得C可以，看了陈的解答，还是没弄明白

4. The term “modern”has always been used broadly by historians, andrecent reports indicate that its meaning has become more ____ than ever.
(A) precise
(B) pejorative
(C) revisionist
(D) acceptable
(E) amorphous
请问一下，那个recent和前边没有时间对比吗？这道题是不是程度递进关系呢？广泛的使用——》更加的不确定，可是那样D也可以吧？不明白

6. Originally, most intellectual criticism of mass culture was ____ incharacter, being based on the assumption that the wider the appeal, themore ____ the product.
(A) unpredictable ... undesirable
(B) ironic ... popular
(C) extreme ... outlandish
(D) frivolous ... superfluous
(E) negative ... shoddy

  she is not interested in running for a second term
  is as -------- as her opponent's attempt to disguise
  his intention to run against her.
  (A) biased
  (B) unsuccessful
  (C) inadvertent
  (D) indecisive
  (E) remote
这题是比较奇妙的,呵呵.这个女议员对于让公众相信她不会再继续竞选的努力和他的对手假装不与他敌对的幌子一样____, as -------- as 说明前后两者的结果一样,而结果只有可能是成功和失败两种,所以看一下5个选项,只有B咯

第6题我比较支持D

Section 5：
第一题：题目是不是前后有一个隐藏的转折关系在里面呀，可以理解为：虽然她害怕登山，但是这并没有减少她参加攀岩的决心
但如果此题改为：
1. That she was _____ rock climbing did diminish her _____to join her friends on a rock-climbing expedition.
(A) attracted to ...eagerness
(B) timid about ... reluctance
(C) fearful of ... determination
(D) curious about ... aspiration
(E) knowledgeable about ... hope
不能她对于爬山的___不能diminish她参与同伴们攀岩的___,说明两个空要构成反义,而且第二空要填褒义,第一空是贬义,或中性偏贬,所以就是C

2. Data concerning the effects on a small population of high concentrations of a potentially hazardous chemical are frequently usedto ____ the effects on a large population of lower amounts of the samechemical.
(A) verify
(B) redress
(C) predict
(D) realize
(E) augment
这其实牵涉到一种实验方法:对于有害物质A,它的质量=浓度X体积,所以当体积小的时候,浓度增大可以保证总质量不变,即可以保证同等质量有害物质A的实验效果不变.


paradoxically有看似错误其实正确的意思,至少不是个绝对贬义词.

s2之20:关于冰雪中的水那个是对的？
文中“As the oxygen-18-poor ice builds up the oceans become relatively enriched in the Isotope”，所以选E呀：In comparison with seawater, it is relatively poor in oxygen-18.
26题目是问作者认为对的。11行明显是作者认为T说法的缺陷，用了but和obscure嘛，所以作者认为仪式是有实际性目的的。

4. The term “modern”has always been used broadly by historians, andrecent reports indicate that its meaning has become more ____ than ever.
(A) precise
(B) pejorative
(C) revisionist
(D) acceptable
(E) amorphous
recent和前边当然有时间对比,否则怎么会有面的MORE呢,广泛的使用——》更加的不确定，没错.如果D的话,应该是可接受程度的对比,那个和使用范围广不广没关系呀.

6. Originally, most intellectual criticism of mass culture was ____ incharacter, being based on the assumption that the wider the appeal, themore ____ the product.
(A) unpredictable ... undesirable
(B) ironic ... popular
(C) extreme ... outlandish
(D) frivolous ... superfluous
(E) negative ... shoddy
嗯,感觉从the wider the appeal入手比较简单,ASSUMPTION后面两分句是同义,所以WIDER对应POPULAR

II应该是(a-b)/a = 1/3;
作者: aaaa0441    时间: 2008-6-5 21:44:54
