还望牛人解释! 感激不尽!
LUXIN CRITICAL REASONING LOOSE-LEAFING
28. Stone Age potters crafted complicated and often delicate ceramic pots, tools, and jewelry. They also crafted crude pottery figurines. Many of the delicate ceramic pots, tools, and jewelry have been found intact or nearly so, whereas, the figurines, crafted at roughly the same time as the ceramics, have largely been found in tiny fragments.
Which of the following, if true, best explains why few of the pottery figurines, but many of the delicate ceramics, have been found intact?
(A)When a pottery piece from any batch was broken during finishing, Stone Age people sometimes deliberately smashed the rest of that batch, perhaps to avert bad luck.
(B)The composition of clay, which affects the durability of any pottery made from it, varies greatly from one area of the world to another.
(C)Pottery was invented in the Stone Age, and techniques for making pottery were mastered well before those required for delicate ceramic work.
(D)Stone Age potters crafted pottery figurines as frequently as they did ceramic pieces.
(E) Many Stone Age rituals involved the destruction of a pottery figurine, perhaps as a sacrifice to the gods.
A):A
29. A ten-year comparison between the US and the Soviet Union in terms of crop yields per acre revealed that when only planted acreage is compared, Soviet yields are equal to 68 percent of US yields. When total agricultural acreage (planted acreage plus fallow acreage) is compared, however, Soviet yield is 114 percent of US yield.
From the information above, which of the following can be most reliably inferred about US and Soviet, agriculture during the ten-year period?
(A)A higher percentage of total agricultural acreage was fallow in the US than in the Soviet Union.
(B)The US had more fallow acreage than planted acreage.
(C)Fewer total acres if agricultural land were fallow in the Soviet Union than in the US.
(D)The Soviet Union had more planted acreage than fallow acreage.
(E)The Soviet Union produced a greater volume crops than the US produced.
A):A
30.Scientist: More than 1,000 large asteroids regularly cross the Earth’s path. Even though the probability of one colliding with the Earth is extremely slight, we should do whatever we can to reduce that probability since any such collision would be catastrophic. The best way to avoid such a disaster is to deflect the asteroids. The only known way of deflecting asteroids is by hitting them with nuclear weapons that would be stored in space stations.
The scientist’s claims are structured so as to lead to which of the following conclusions?
(A)Nuclear technology is the only technology that can plausibly be used to prevent natural catastrophes.
(B)Nuclear weapons should be deployed in space.
(C)No catastrophe has yet been caused by the collision of an asteroid with the Earth.
(D)The 1,000 large asteroids that cross the Earth’s path pose only an extremely slight risk of colliding with the Earth.
(E)There is currently no acceptable use to which nuclear weapons can be put, aside from protecting the Earth from asteroids.
A):B
31.A group of subjects saw a film of two cars colliding. Immediately afterward, half of the group were asked a set of questions about the cars “bumping” into one another, while the other half were asked the same questions but with the verb “smash” substituted for “bump.” In later descriptions of the filmed collision, subjects in the latter half were more likely to remember seeing broken glass.
The experiment described above best supports which of the following conclusions about eye-witness testimony?
(A)A witness who is agitated at the time of an event is likely to give less accurate testimony than is a calm witness.
(B)A witness’ perception of an event will be distorted if inflammatory language is used by the questioner.
(C)The manner in which a witness is questioned after an event can influence the recollection of the witness.
(D)Most eyewitness testimony can be assumed to contain inaccurate elements.
(E)Special questioning techniques can be developed that will be more conducive to eliciting accurate information from witness than traditional techniques have been.
