(1)If people are regarded only as machines guided by logic, as they were by some "scientistic" thinkers, rhetoric is likely to be held in low regard; for the most obvious truth about rhetoric is that it speaks to the whole person. It presents its arguments first to the person as a rational being. Logical argument is the plot, as it were, of any speech or essay that is respectfully intended to persuade people. Yet it is a characterizing feature of rhetoric that it goes beyond this and appeals to the parts of our nature that are involved in feeling, desiring, acting, and suffering. It recalls relevant instances of the emotional reactions of people to circumstances-real or fictional-that are similar to our own circumstances.
9. The passage suggests that the disparagement of
rhetoric by some people can be traced to their
(A) reaction against science
(B) lack of training in logic
(C) desire to persuade people as completely as
possible
(D) misunderstanding of the use of the term "scientistic"
(E) view of human motivation
这道题 答案是E 我选了D,我知道应该定位到文章的第一句话,可是理解的半天还是想不出怎么就选E呢,还有,我看了一下sharewithu上的解释是说,没有体现misunderstanding,但我觉得就是有啊,到底是怎么回事呢?
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
10. Which of the following states the author's
main point about logical argument?
□A It is a sterile, abstract discipline, of little use in
real life.
□B It is an essential element of persuasive
discourse, but only one such element.
□C It is essential to persuasive discourse because it
deals with universal truths
这道题答案选B 可我选了BC ,但是由答案来看的话,C 是不是就错在because it deals with universal truths, 可是是从文章哪里看出来的呢? 好纠结,想得我好苦恼。。。。
Innovative as it is, Luis Valdez' acto owes much to the theater traditions or other periods and regions. Like early Spanish American religious dramas, secular folk dramas,and the Mexican carpas of a somewhat later period, actos
are usually performed outdoors by traveling groups of players or by local theater groups. The improvised comic satire of the actos is often attributed to Valdez' study of the Italian commedia dell' arte of the sixteenth century, although some critics see it as a direct reflection of the
comic and improvisational qualities of the more contemporary and local carpas of Mexican theater. The Italian influence is likely, whatever Valdez‘ immediate source: the Mexican carpas themselves are said to have originated from the theater pieces of a sixteenth-century
Spanish writer inspired by encounters with Italian commedia dell'arte troupes on tour in Spain.
5. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens
the author's argument concerning the debt of the
acto to the theater traditions of other periods and
regions?
(A) Many popular forms of theater rely heavily
on improvisation.
(B) Plays resembling the acto in structure were
written in the 1970's by West African playwrights who are interested in dramatizing the richness of their own cultures.
(C) The use of masks has, at one time or another,
been characteristic of the theater traditions
of almost all cultures, even those most isolated
from outside influences.
(D) During a strike, it is common for union members
to present musical skits dramatizing the
values of solidarity and resistance.
(E) Before 1965 Luis Valdez had attended many
performances of traditional Mexican theater
groups touring the western United States
这道题答案选了E。 我都没看懂题目,不知道the debt of--- 是什么意思,刚查也没找到合适的说法,我猜应该是说它们的关系吧。 这种strenghen , weaken 类型的题,我一向很弱,把握不住做题要点,真的是一头雾水,求指点啊求指点。。。。。
(3)In electrides, the anions (negative ions) are completely replaced by electrons, which are trapped in naturally formed cavities within a framework of regularly stacked cations (positive ions). Unlike other types of anions, anionic electrons do not behave as if they were simple charged spheres. The properties of an electride depend largely on the distance between the cavities that hold trapped electrons. When the trapped electrons are far apart, they do not interact strongly, and so behave somewhat like an array of isolated negative charges. When they are closer together, they begin to display properties associated with large ensembles of identical particles. When they are still closer, the ensemble properties dominate and the electrons "delocalize".
It can be inferred from the passage that an electride
behaves most like a normal ionic crystal when the
electride has which of the following features?
(A) The anionic cavities are widely separated.
(B) All of the trapped electrons are able to delocalize.
(C) The trapped electrons are liberated by
impinging photons.
(D) The ions are tightly packed together.
(E) Most of the cations have lost their electrical
charge.
这道题完全懵了,感觉题干里的ionic crystal 完全不着调啊,我找了好多遍都不知道该定位到那句话,甚至怀疑题目是不是出错了???? 答案选A
(4)One of the principal themes of Walzer's critique of liberal capitalism is that it is insufficiently egalitarian. Walzer's case against the economic inequality generated by
capitalism and in favor of "a radical redistribution of wealth" is presented in a widely cited essay entitled "In Defense of Equality." The most striking feature of Walzer's critique is that, far from rejecting the principle of reward according to merit, Walzer insists on its validity. People who excel should receive the superior
benefits appropriate to their excellence. But people exhibit a great variety of qualities—"intelligence, physical strength, agility and grace, artistic creativity, mechanical skill, leadership, endurance, memory, psychological insight, the capacity for hard
work—even moral strength, sensitivity, the ability to express compassion."Each deserves its proper recompense, and hence a proper distribution of material goods should reflect human differences as measured on all these different scales. Yet, under capitalism, the ability
to make money ("the green thumb of bourgeois society") enables its possessor to acquire almost "every other sort of social good," such as the respect and esteem of others.
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
The passage provides sufficient information to
answer which of the following questions EXCEPT?
□A What weight in relation to other qualities
should a quality like sensitivity have,
according to Walzer, in determining the
proper distribution of goods?
□B Which quality does Walzer deem too highly
valued under liberal capitalism?
□C Which are the social goods that are, according
to Walzer, outside the reach of the power of
money?
这篇文章我看的时候还挺开心的,可以看题目又傻眼了,我根本不懂这道题里的A 选项是什么意思,选项B 文章最后一句话说到了,可以排除,但我觉得C 文章最后一句话也说到了啊,不就是respect 和esteem 吗,可 答案怎么选AC 呢, 跟我理解真的好矛盾啊??
6. The author implies that Walzer's interpretation of
the principle of reward according to merit is distinctive for its
○A insistence on maximizing everyone's rewards
○B emphasis on equality
○C proven validity
○D broad conception of what constitutes merit
○E broad conception of what constitutes a reward
这道题我一看就定位到“The most striking feature of Walzer's critique is that, far from rejecting the principle of reward according to merit, Walzer insists on its validity.” 然后就选了C, 结果答案选D, 我认认真真地思考了好久, 未果啊,求指点求指点。。。。
