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

A bird's pride comes not from the height he soars on,
but from the will and courage to fight storm alone.
A bird's glory comes not from the claim of he can fly,
but from the proof of he eventually teared the sky.

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

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。

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
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.
