Authorities in California required drivers to use their
headlights on a certain road during the daytime as well
as at night and found that annual accident rates on the
road fell 15 percent from the previous level. They
concluded that applying the daytime rule statewide
would lead to a similar reduction in accidents.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the
authorities' argument?
(A) Because an alternate route became available, the
volume of traffic on the test road decreased during
the test period.
(B) Drivers were informed of the requirement to use
their headlights on the test road by means of a
series of three conspicuous signs in each direction
of travel.
(C) Under certain conditions, among them fog and
heavy rain, most drivers in California already use
their headlights during the daytime.
(D) Full-scale application of the daytime rule would
cause headlight bulbs to burn out sooner than
they currently do and thus to require more
frequent replacement.
(E) The test road was selected to include a great
variety of the sorts of road conditions that drivers
in California are likely to encounter.

答案是A，我选E

Isadora Duncan's masterly writings on the dance reveal
the depth of her determination to create a lyric form of the art
which was free of characterization, storytelling, and the
theatrical exhibition of skills. She wished to discard the
traditional methods and established vocabularies of such dance
forms as ballet and to explore the internal sources of human
expressiveness. She shunned bodily ornamentation and
strove to use only the natural movements of her body,
undistorted by acrobatic exaggeration and stimulated only by
internal compulsion. In her recitals Duncan danced to the music
of Beethoven, Wagner, and Gluck, among others, but,
contrary to popular belief, she made no attempt to visualize or
to interpret the music; rather, she simply relied on it to provide
the inspiration for expressing inner feelings through movement.   

Select the sentence in the passage that implies the   
argumentative function which the author mentions   
Duncan‘s reliance on music in her recitals to serve.   

答案是：She shunned bodily ornamentation……
我觉得它前面一句和后面一句也都可以的样子。。

Which of the following, if true, most logically
completes the passage?   
Every fusion reaction releases neutrinos. To test a
hypothesis about the frequency of fusion reactions in the
Sun, physicists calculated the number of neutrinos the
Sun would produce annually if the hypothesis were
correct. From this they estimated how many neutrinos
should pass through a particular location on Earth. The
fact that far fewer neutrinos were counted than were
predicted to pass through the location would seem to
prove that the hypothesis is wrong, except that------.
(A) the physicists, using a different method for
estimating how many neutrinos should reach the
location, confirmed their original estimate
(B) there are several competing hypotheses about the
frequency of solar fusion reactions   
(C) there is not enough energy in the Sun to destroy a
neutrino once it is released
(D) the method used to count neutrinos detects no
more than approximately ten percent of the
neutrinos that pass through
(E) neutrinos released in the fusion reactions of other
stars also reach the Earth

答案是E，我选D

Experiments show that insects can function as pollinators
of cycads, rare, palmlike tropical plants. Furthermore,
cycads removed from their native habitats—and therefore
from insects native to those habitats—are usually infertile.
Nevertheless, anecdotal reports of wind pollination in
cycads cannot be ignored. The structure of cycads male
cones is quite consistent with the wind dispersal of pollen,
clouds of which are released from some of the larger cones.
The male cone of Cycas circinalis, for example, sheds
almost 100 cubic centimeters of pollen, most of which is
probably dispersed by wind. Furthermore, the structure of
most female cycad cones seems inconsistent with direct
pollination by wind. Only in the Cycas genus are the
females' ovules accessible to airborne pollen, since only in
this genus are the ovules surrounded by a loose aggregation
of megasporophylls rather than by a tight cone.  

The passage suggests that which of the following is   
true of the structure of cycad cones?
A The structure of cycad cones provides conclusive   
evidence in favor of one particular explanation   
of cycad pollination.
B The structure of male cycad cones rules out a   
    possible mechanism for cycad pollination that is   
    suggested by the structure of most female cycad   
    cones.
C The structure of male cycad cones is consistent   
    with a certain means of cycad pollination, but   
    that means is inconsistent with the structure of   
    most female cycad cones.   
答案是C，我选了AC，因为这篇文章不是in favor of insect传授花粉了吗？

求指点，多谢！！

1.新规定，在白天use headlight，降低了该处年事故率。所以推广该规定，可以达到同等效果。
A。另一条路修好了，所以测试时间内该处的交通流量下降
B。三种明显的标志来提醒司机开灯
C。特定的条件下，司机已经开灯了
D。使用该灯泡可能会导致灯泡销量上升
E。该路面的测试包含了各种可能遇到的天气
A和B都找来了weaken point的idea，C是表明上述判断条件的不准确，D没有关系，E是正确的，表明了测试的全面性。

2.第二题，不太懂做题的规则，但是句子肯定是关于she的，从而对duncan的侧面反映。rather, she simply relied on it to provide the inspiration for expressing inner feelings through movement。

是新东方拿历年真题改编的36套，题型和新版的一样，答案有问题也有可能，但大部分都是对的，只是拿以前的题目做了表面非本质的修改。
所以来问问大家，有些时候是我自己的逻辑有问题。

我感觉把老题改成新题的样式，还是会出错的吧，中国人思路有点绕，G的思路是很直接的

原来如此~
相信自己的判断，如果看了十遍还不能找到症结，就果断来讨论吧~

弱弱的问一句，第三题选D得原因是因为有具体数值么？

我觉得是因为该条件下，XX情况的造成是method的问题，而不是仅仅phenomena的原因。
