8月27日德国考场详细机经

沛芝东欧控UID: 3532576

考试前虽然没依赖机经，考完了对照康老师的机经这些题也没包括，那就分享一下我回忆中比较确定的一些题目：
（虽然欧洲考场可能题目和大陆有差别，大家权当单词查漏补缺好了，比如说：specious, fractious, restive, buoy, promulgate, swill, guzzle, enamor, polymath）还有，有人了解如何贡献这些小句子到各类机经整理的大渠道么？


句子填空机经：
1.        议员指责总统发言证据不足：Senator points out the argument of the president as specious/unconvincing, because it is based upon unreliable data.
2.        市长争取和解：The mayor strived to achieve a consensus out of this usually fractious/restive assembly.
3.        业余爱好者激励科学家：During the recent citizen-scientist event, the amateur astonished the organizer by complying a whole category of new galaxies. Buoyed by such enthusiasm, the scientists were inspired to work further on this issue.
4.        韩国电影产业审查制度：The author claims that Korean film was under censorship in 1903. But in fact the laws restricting cultural activities were not promulgated until the second decade of 20th century. Nevertheless A presents evidence to support her claim.
5.        亚洲作家目录：The new anthology places authors alphabetically. This is in itself not problematic. However, there is a similar editorial silence upon why certain writers are included while others are not, which there must a rationale behind such selection. （第三空干扰选项有：action）
6.        喝茶减少心脏病：Research shows that those, who only seldom drinks tea or avoid it at all, do not reap the benefits of reducing heart attacks than those who swill/guzzle the brew do. （干扰选项有：sip／appreciate）
7.        支持学术和企业合作：He does not resent cooperate influence on academia. Instead, he is quite enamored by the partnership between universities and companies. （第二空干扰选项有：unnerved by）
8.        儿童故事作家的悲惨童年：Writers of children’s book are not known for their happy childhood. Pamela Travers, born name Helen Goff, endured one that is almost...in its sadness. (我选的是classic/archetypical，但是这题我不是特别确定，干扰选项有：astonishing。关于Travers可参考电影《大梦想家Saving Mr. Banks》）
9.        改造实验室：The outlay of the laboratory, suited well for early experiments, is not plastic, rendering a total redesign necessary for the new experiments. （干扰选项有：ubiquitous）
10.        鸟的迁徙和中途食物补给：Birds migrant and need to supply enough energy to reach the goal. The impulse to fly is suppressed when they encounter stop-over places full of food. There they eat enough and fly further. However, this impulse is not diminished （根据之前的suppressed推出）when the food are not available at the stop-overs. They fly further for more favorable places.
11.        对“恶心“的历史渊源研究：The focus of his research is both historical and causal: he asks how disgust evolved over time and what triggered it.
12.        实验艺术困惑大家：Experimental arts often cause confusion. Even the champion/advocates of such art are often perplexed. (干扰选项：luminaries)
13.        英国民众喜欢保守的皇室：Instead of wishing their royal families to emulate the modernized Scandinavian counterpart, the English/British public cherished their royal families when they are most anachronistic.
14.        某地冰川消亡的证据和预测不符：The data from this glacier is surprising: normally the impact of temperature increase is amplified in higher altitude, however it is not the case in this region of glacier.
15.        博学大师：Just like the character in her novel, she is a polymath who is interested in all fields of human inquiry. (干扰选项：prodigy)
16.        为啥很多童话和实际生活无关但是流传广泛？Many fairy tale are so irrelevant to contemporary life and it’s hard to understand their….(大概选这个不确定universality/persistence) (我猜错了transience的意思/干扰选项appeal…)

逻辑机经:

1.        蛾子吃杂草（康老师机经已收录）：养殖兰花的人要引进一种消灭杂草的蛾子。但是小规模种植的农民需要这种大杂草来抑制小杂草的生长。如果引进蛾子的话，农民收成肯定会不好。如何削弱？答案：政府规定，养兰花的人会负责用杀虫剂不让蛾子进入农民的地。
文本：The owners of the orchards want to import one moth, which will eliminate a certain type of weed harmful to orchard. The small farmers, however, rely on this weed to kill other types of common weeds, which are hard to get rid of once they grow on the land. Therefore, as a result of introducing this moth, the small farmers are inevitably going to have a hard time in farming.

问题：How to weaken the argument? 答案：As required by the government as one precondition of introducing this moth, the owners of orchards have to use a long-lasting spray in adjacent small farmer lands to limit the influence of moth.

2.        浮游植物无法抑制变暖：浮游植物吸收某气体。另一种东西也吸收这个气体。按理来说，南／北半球会云多。但是北／南半球并没有如此。所以浮游植物不会有效用。该推理实用了何种逻辑？相似类比推出结果。

文本：Phytoplankton is obviously useless in limiting global warming. Phytoplankton absorbs gas A. Gas B also absorbs gas A, and this should make the sky cloudier. The more cloud, the more….However, it is not the case that the North Hampshire is therefore less/more….than the South Hampshire.
问题：Which strategy of reasoning is employed? 答案：The author uses the similarities of two examples and applies the evidence of one case to another.

3.        进口药品合格率（经典逻辑考题类型，但是我在考场上没做出来，请大家帮忙求解）某岛国一直检查进口药物。以前的不合格率／每批次是25％。自从去年加大了检查队的人数后，不合格率／每批次上升到了33％。因为药品本身质量不可能变化，由此推断，以前查的太松懈。作者假定了什么？

文本：Island A imports pharmaceuticals and they need to be inspected. The rate of substandard medicine is always around 25% per shipment. However, since last year, the border control increased inspection personals, and the rate of substandard medicine per shipment increased to 33%. Because it is unlikely that that the actual quality of pharmaceuticals have changed, it must be the case that previous inspection is too cursory.

问题：What is the assumption of the author? 答案几个选项：A: the proportion of all imported medicine did not change during last year. B: the size of each shipment did not change last year. (我选了这个) C. Although there are new people, the old more experienced one did not retire. D…E…

阅读机经 （都是用英文回想起来的，然后自己翻译了下中文，所以英文比较接近原文题目原句）

1.        地核和地幔（短文）：笛卡尔设想地球内部结构是层层叠叠的：最内部是液体的核，外面是固体的核。（有题：为啥作者提到笛卡尔的理论？答案：说明当代理论保留了原先理论的一些特点）当今科学家依然遵循层叠结构。只不过地核是：固体的内核，液态的外核（生词：molten），承受高温高压，铁含量高。地核的外面和地表之间的是地幔：可分成上地幔和下地幔，相差xx公里，镁元素含量高。（有题：和地核相比，地幔的特点是什么？答案：几乎没有液体（百度了一下：地幔物质具有一些可塑性，但没有熔成液体，可能局部处于熔融状态）愚蠢的干扰选项：高温，高压，含铁量高，有两层）
1.        Earth core and mantle: Descartes assumes the earth is layered. With liquid inner core and solid outer core. Nowadays scientists still follow this layered model (Question: why mention Descartes’ theory of earth? Answer: to demonstrate current theory retains some features of it. ) The core is made of two parts: there is a solid inner core and molten outer core, enduring high pressures and temperature, and rich in iron. Below the surface is the mantle; one solid layer is XX kilometer from another, rich in magnesium. (Question: what is the distinctive of the earth mantle as compared to the core? A: high pressure, B high temperature C two layers D. mantle contain almost no liquid E. richer in iron.)

2.        石楠甲虫和荷兰草地（短文）：欧洲低地的生态环境受氮气影响很大。荷兰的石楠地很多变成了草地，是氮气和石楠甲虫共同引起的。氮气帮助草和石楠同时生长，石楠先长的快，所以草就被压在石楠的枝干下面。石楠甲虫的数目每年都变化。（有题：为啥提到石楠甲虫每年数量不一？候选答案有：强调一个管理草地中不可控的因素，体现生态环境脆弱，表现今年甲虫多明年甲虫肯定少）甲虫就渐渐吃石楠，树叶慢慢掉光，由此草就疯长。（有题：可以推断关于甲虫的事实是？答案：甲虫帮助了草接触到阳光）
2.        Heather Beetle and Dutch grassland: The ecological system of low land in Europe is dynamic. Nitrogen exerts big influence on Dutch heather land. The change of heather land to grassland is the interplay between not only the nitrogen level, but also the presence of heather beetles. Nitrogen will encourage both grass and heather to grow. But the heather grow quicker first, therefore the grass is under their bushes. The number of beetles, however, varies from year from year (Question: Why mention the number of beetles here? A. to stress one factor that is out of control of grassland management B. to demonstrate the system is fragile, C. to show one year of abundance is definitely going to be followed by scarcity. D….E….) As the beetles eat more heather, many leafs drop off, the grass have more space. (Question: what can be inferred, A. the beetles help the grass to reach to more sun light)

3.        野猫的驯养（短文，文章简单，题目很难巨扣字眼）野猫很难被驯养。首先，它们的消化系统只适合蛋白质食物。第二：它们独来独往保持自己的领地。第三，它们不表演人类指示的任务。野猫也许是可以作为捕鼠帮手；但是，这个用处值得讨论质疑。因为捕鼠的犬类（比如梗）更加受到青睐。介于这些原因，没什么理由可以猜想早期农业社会特意驯养猫作为宠物。猫后来和人一起生活的唯一理由／途径只不过是，人类容忍了猫的存在，然后猫就慢慢丧失了野性。（有三个问题，只记得一个问题：以下除了哪个都是早期农业社会的特点？候选答案：人类因为猫的用处容忍了猫的存在（我选了这个）。那时人类生产的食物不适合猫。人来偏好狗来捕鼠（同义词rodent）。人类和动物共享生存空间。人类驯养其他动物）
3.        Wild Cat and domestication: Cats are hard to domesticate. First of all, they have a digest system that cannot eat anything but protein. Second, they live secluded life and have protective territory. Third, they do not perform any directed tasks. It might be the case that cats could serve as catchers of mouse; however, this utility is debatable; arguably, terriers and other dogs are preferred in this task. Hence, there is hardly any reason to think any early agriculture society would have cats as pet. The only reason why cats and human live together is probably because human merely tolerate the existence of cats, which gradually lost their wildness in the long run. (Question: all of following about early agricultural society is true EXCEPT: A: they tolerate cats for their utility B. they produce food not suitable for cats C. They prefer terriers to catch the rodents D. they share space with animals. E they have domesticated certain other animals)

4.        纽约州化石发现（短文）：最近纽约上州发现的化石对科研有帮助：首先，一种菌类的化石在某年完全消失了，这种菌类只寄生在大型食草动物上。然后，烧焦的植物化石（类似煤炭）同时大幅出现。因此科学家猜测：大型食草动物的数量在和人类接触之后迅速下降，因为人类发现它们很容易被捕猎。当动物渐渐消失，植物就越发茂盛。人类生火的时候，火苗就很容易在易燃的植物上扩散。（问题：关于食草动物可以推出什么事实？候选答案：它们的存在控制了火苗可能传播的广度（我选了这个）。它们导致菌类的消失。它们的数量在人类到达的时候达到顶峰。它们在遇到人类之前几乎没有天敌。）
4.        Fossils in New York State: The fossil of one fungus, which only grew on big herbivore animals, disappeared X years ago. Then, the fossils of burned vegetation (similar to coral) appear in large amount. Scientist A infers a possible hypothesis: the number of large herbivore animals crashed when human settled in the area, who found the animals, quite inexperience with human, as easy preys. As those animals disappeared, no one ate the grass and lots of grass grew. When human make fire, fire spread quickly on those plants. (Q: what can be inferred from big herbivore animals? A: their existence helps to keep a balance of how wide fire can spread, B. herbivore are responsible for the disappearance of fungus, C. the number of herbivore animals peaked just before human arrived. D. Herbivores hardly have any predators before the arrival of human. E….)

5.        黛安娜长尾猴对抗掠食者的讯号（长文，题目还算容易）Diana Monkey anti-predatory strategies:

第一段：豹吃猴子。猴子有一种针对豹的讯号：大声长鸣。（有题：讯号作用是什么？警示同伴，并且示意掠食者你已经被发现）猩猩也吃猴子，猩猩能爬得很高。猴子对猩猩的警告讯号是：公猴子不出声，母猴子轻轻叫并且快速逃走。（有题：为啥提到“猩猩也会爬树？”回答：表示猴子采取不同讯号的目的）（提问三：公猴子和母猴子行为的差别有？）Paragraph 1: Diana monkeys are preyed by leopards. Their anti-predatory strategy is to give long loud alarm to alert others and the leopard itself. (Question: what is the function of alarm? Answer: to both alert the monkeys and to signal to the predators that they have been discovered) Chimpanzees also prey on Diana monkeys. Once encountering with chimpanzees, the male monkey do not vocalize at all, while the female monkey give several alarms and quickly hide away. It is because chimpanzees are good at climbing high. (Question: why mention this sentence “chimpanzees can climb high?” Answer: to show why Diana monkey use this specific anti-predatory alarm.) (Question: what is the difference between male and female monkeys in alarming?)

第二段：同时：豹子也吃猩猩。然后猩猩也有各种不同警示叫声（发现豹子或者是仅仅与同伴交流）。如果当猴子遇到豹子和猩猩同时出现的情况，那猴子是如何分辨猩猩的叫声（发现豹子或者是与同伴交流） 呢？还有，猴子是如何分辨其中的因果先后顺序的？Paragraph 2: At the same time, leopard also eats chimpanzees. Chimpanzees alarm each other too. There will be confusing situations in which Diana monkeys meet the leopards and chimpanzees together. How the Diana monkeys differentiate their two anti-predatory strategies and infer causal relations?

第三段：实验1分别播放豹子和猩猩的叫声，看猴子的反应。（此段各类比较极其复杂，猩猩何时长叫短叫，猴子何时不同反应，题目却没考，万幸！）外圈和内圈的猴子反应不一样。Paragraph 3: Experiment A, in which the scientists play the recording of leopard and chimpanzee voices separate. Monkeys respond in such such way…the monkeys in the outer layer of the group vs. the monkeys in the inner circle respond differently.

第四段：实验2同时先后播放豹子和猩猩的声音。科学家发现：猴子反应和之前某个对比组是一样的。因为这个相似点，可以推断，猴子对豹子和猩猩先后出现顺序是有一定因果关系的认识的。（有题：为啥提到“科学家发现：反应一样”这个句子？答案：为了说明实验验证了假设）Paragraph 4: Experiment B, in which leopard voice was followed by chimpanzee alarms. The scientists find that: the monkeys respond exactly like the companion group in the previous experiment…This similarity does indicate that Diana Monkeys have some understanding of the causal relationship.  (Question: why mention this sentence “The scientists find that:..." here? Answer: A: to illustrate supporting evidence to a hypothesis 各类愚蠢干扰选项：B to introduce the hypothesis C to show the distinctive between two experiments. )
