草木也知愁UID: 2487572

Much of the research on hallucinogenic drugs such

    as LSD has focused on the neurotransmitter serotonin,

    a chemical that when released from a presynaptic

    serotonin-secreting neuron causes the transmission of

(5)  a nerve impulse across a synapse to an adjacent  

    postsynaptic, or target, neuron. There are two major

    reasons for this emphasis. First, it was discovered

    early on that many of the major hallucinogens have a

    molecular structure similar to that of serotonin. In

(10) addition, animal studies of brain neurochemistry

following administration of hallucinogens invariably

reported changes in serotonin levels.

   Early investigators correctly reasoned that the

    structural similarity to the serotonin molecule might

(15) imply that LSD’s effects are brought about by an

    action on the neurotransmission of serotonin in the

    brain. Unfortunately, the level of technical expertise

    in the field of brain research was such that this

    hypothesis had to be tested on peripheral tissue

(20) (tissue outside the brain). Two different groups of

    scientists reported that LSD powerfully blockaded

    serotonin’s action. Their conclusions were quickly

    challenged, however. We now know that the action

    of a drug at one site in the body does not necessarily

(25) correspond to the drug’s action at another site,

    especially when one site is in the brain and the other

    is not.

      By the 1960’s, technical advances permitted the

    direct testing of the hypothesis that LSD and related

(30) hallucinogens act by directly suppressing the activity

    of serotonin-secreting neurons themselves—the so-

    called presynaptic hypothesis. Researchers reasoned

    that if the hllucinogenic drugs act by suppressing the

    activity of serotonin-secreting neurons, then drugs

(35) administered after these neurons had been destroyed

    should have no effect on behavior, because the

    system would already be maximally suppressed.

    Contrary to their expectations, neuron destruction

    enhanced the effect of LSD and related hallucinogens

  (40) on behavior. Thus, hallucinogenic drugs apparently

    do not act directly on serotonin-secreting neurons.

      However, these and other available data do support

    an alternative hypothesis, that LSD and related drugs

    act directly at receptor sites on serotonin target

(45) neurons (the postsynaptic hypothesis). The fact that

   LSD elicits “serotonin syndrome” —that is, causes

   the same kinds of behaviors as does the adminis-

   tration of serotonin—in animals whose brains are

   depleted of serotonin indicates that LSD acts directly

(50)on serotonin receptors, rather than indirectly through

   the release of stores of serotonin. The enhanced effect

   of LSD reported after serotonin depletion could be

   due to a proliferation of serotonin receptor sites on

   serotonin target neurons. This phenomenon often

(55) follows neuron destruction or neurotransmitter

   depletion; the increase in the number of receptor sites

   appears to be a compensatory response to decreased

   input. Significantly, this hypothesis is supported by

   data from a number of different laboratories.



17. According to the passage, which of the

   following is one of the primary factors that led

   researchers studying hallucinogenic drugs to

   focus on serotonin?

   (A) The suppression of the activity of serotonin-

       secreting neurons by the administration of

       hallucinogens

   (B) The observed similarities in the chemical

       structures of serotonin and hallucinogens

   (C) The effects the administration of

             hallucinogens has on serotonin production

       in the human brain

   (D) Serotonin-induced changes in the effects of

        hallucinogens on behavior

   (E) Hallucinogen-induced changes in the effects

      of serotonin on behavior



18. It can be inferred that researchers abandoned the

   presynaptic hypothesis because

   (A) a new and more attractive hypothesis was

      suggested

   (B) no research was reported that supported the

      hypothesis

   (C) research results provided evidence to

      counter the hypothesis

   (D) the hypothesis was supported only by

      studies of animals and not by studies of

      human beings

   (E) the level of technical expertise in the field of

      brain research did not permit adequate

      testing of the hypothesis



19. Which of the following best expresses the main

   idea of the passage?

   (A) Research has suggested that the

      neurotransmitter serotonin is responsible for

      the effects of hallucinogenic drogs on the

      brain and on behavior.

  (B) Researchers have spent an inadequate amount

     of time developing theories concerning the way

     in which the effects of hallucinogenic drugs occur.

  (C) Research results strongly suggest that

     hallucinogenic drugs create their effects by

     acting on the serotonin receptor sites located

     on target neurons in the brain.

  (D) Researchers have recently made valuable

     discoveries concerning the effects of

     depleting the amount of serotonin in the

     brain.

  (E) Researchers have concluded that hallucinogenic

     drugs suppress the activity of serotonin-secreting

     neurons.



20. The research described in the passage is

   primarily concerned with answering which of

   the following questions?

  (A) How can researchers control the effects that  

     LSD has on behavior?

  (B) How are animals’ reactions to LSD different

     from those of human beings?

  (C) What triggers the effects that LSD has on

     human behavior?

  (D) What technical advances would permit

     researchers to predict more accurately the

     effects of LSD on behavior?

  (E) What relationship does the suppression of

     neuron activity have to the occurrence of

     “serotonin syndrome”?







21. Which of the following best defines “serotonin

   syndrome” (line 46) as the term is used in the

   passage?

  (A) The series of behaviors, usually associated

     with the administration of serotonin, that also

     occurs when LSD is administered to animals

     whose brains are depleted of serotonin

  (B) The series of behaviors, usually associated

     with the administration of LSD, that also

     occurs when the amount of serotonin in the

     brain is reduced

  (C) The maximal suppression of neuron activity

     that results from the destruction of serotonin-      

     secreting neurons

  (D) The release of stores of serotonin from

      serotonin-secreting neurons in the brain

  (E) The proliferation of serotonin receptor sites

      that follows depletion of serotonin supplies in

      the brain



22. Which of the following best describes the

   organization of the argument that the author of

   the passage presents in the last two paragraphs?

  (A) Two approaches to testing a hypothesis are

     described, and the greater merits of one

     approach are indicated.

  (B) The assumptions underlying two hypotheses

     are outlined, and evidence for and against

     each hypothesis is discussed.

  (C) A phenomenon is described, and hypotheses

     concerning its occurrence are considered and

     rejected.

  (D) The reasoning behind a hypothesis is

     summarized, evidence supporting the

     hypothesis is presented, and research that

     counters the supporting evidence is

     described.

  (E) A hypothesis is discussed, evidence

     undermining the hypothesis is revealed, and a

     further hypothesis based on the undermining

     evidence is explained



23. The author’s attitude toward early researchers’

   reasoning concerning the implications of

   similarities in the structures of serotonin and

   LSD molecules can best be described as one of

   (A) complete agreeement

   (B) reluctant support

   (C) subtle condescension

   (D) irreverent dismissal

   (E) strong opposition



   When literary periods are defined on the basis of

men’s writing, women’s writing must be forcibly

    assimilated into an irrelevant grid: a Renaissance that

    is not a renaissance for women, a Romantic period in

(5) which women played very little part, a modernism

with which women conflict. Simultaneously, the

history of women’s writing has been suppressed,

leaving large, mysterious gaps in accounts of the

development of various genres. Feminist criticism is

(10) beginning to correct this situation. Margaret Anne

Doody, for example, suggests that during “the period

between the death of Richardson and the appearance

of the novels of Scott and Austen,” which has “been

regarded as a dead period.” Late-eighteenth-century

(15) women writers actually developed “the paradigm

for women’s fiction of the nineteenth century—

something hardly less than the paradigm of the

    nineteenth-century novel itself.” Feminist critics have

    also pointed out that the twentieth-century writer

(20) Virginia Woolf belonged to a tradition other than

modernism and that this tradition surfaces in her

work precisely where criticism has hitherto found

obscurities, evasions, implausibilities, and

imperfections.

24. It can be inferred from the passage that the

   author views the division of literature into

   periods based on men’s writing as an approach

   that

   (A) makes distinctions among literary periods

      ambiguous

   (B) is appropriate for evaluating only premodern

      literature

   (C) was misunderstood until the advent of

      feminist criticism

   (D) provides a valuable basis from which

      feminist criticism has evolved

   (E) obscures women’s contributions to literature



25. The passage suggests which of the following

   about Virginia Woolf’s work?

Ⅰ. Nonfeminist criticism of it has been flawed.

Ⅱ. Critics have treated it as part of modernism.  

Ⅲ. It is based on the work of late-eighteenth-

   century women writers.

(A) Ⅰonly

(B) Ⅱonly

(C) Ⅰand Ⅱ only

(D) Ⅱand Ⅲ only

(E) Ⅰ, Ⅱand Ⅲ



26. The author quotes Doody most probably in order

     to illustrate

    (A) a contribution that feminist criticism can

       make to literary criticism

    (B) a modernist approach that conflicts with

       women’s writing

    (C) writing by a woman which had previously

       been ignored

    (D) the hitherto overlooked significance of Scott’s

       and Austen’s novels

    (E) a standard system of defining literary periods



  27. The passage provides information that answers

     which of the following questions?

     (A) In what tradition do feminist critics usually

        place Virginia Woolf?

     (B) What are the main themes of women’s fiction

        of the nineteenth century?

     (C) What events motivated the feminist

        reinterpretation of literary history?

     (D) How has the period between Richardson’s

        death and Scott’s and Ansten’s novels

        traditionally been regarded by critics?

     (E) How was the development of the nineteenth-

        century novel affected by women’s fiction in

        the same century?

The origin of the theory that major geologic events

    may occur at regular intervals can be traced back not

    to a study of volcanism or plate tectonics but to an

    investigation of marine extinctions. In the early 1980’s,

(5)  scientists began to look closely at the question of how

    these extinctions occur. Two paleontologists, Raup

    and Sepkoski, compiled amaster list of marine species

    that died out duringthe past 268 million years and

    noted that there were brief periods during which

(10) many species disappeared at once. These mass extinc-

    tions occurred at surprisingly regular intervals.

Later studies revealed that extinctions of terrestrial reptiles and mammals also occurred periodically.

    These findings, combined with the research of Raup

(15) and Sepkoski, led scientists to hypothesize the

    existence of some kind of cyclically recurring force

    powerful enough to affect living things profoundly.

    Speculation that so powerful a force might affect

    gelogic events as well led geologists to search for

(20) evidence of periodicity in episodes of volcanism,   

    seafloor spreading, and plate movement.



17. According to the passage, Raup and Sepkoski’s

   research was concerned with

   (A) learning more about the habitats of marine

      species

   (B) studying plate tectonics and the occurrence

      of volcanism over the past 268 million years

   (C) examining extinctions of marine species

      over the past 268 million years

   (D) finding out whether a rhythmically recurring

      geologic force exists

   (E) confirming previous evidence suggesting

      that extinction of terrestrial species occurred

      regularly

18. The author of the passage would most likely

   describe the findings of Roup and Sepkoski as

   (A) plausible, because the findings supported

      the theories of previous researchers

   (B) significant, because the findings were an

      impetus for subsequent research  

   (C) controversial, because the findings contradicted

      the theories of previous researchers

   (D) questionable, because the authors were not

      working in their field of expertise  

   (E) definitive, because the findings confirmed

      the existence of a rhythmically recurring

      force



19. The author of the passage is primarily

    concerned with

   (A) determining the dates of various geologic

       events

   (B) defending the conclusions reached by

       Raup and Sepkoski

   (C) establishing a link between the disciplines

      of paleontology and geology

   (D) proving that mass extinctions of marine

      animals occur periodcally

   (E) explaining how a theory concerning

      geologic events was formulated



20. The passage suggests which of the following

   about the “force” mentioned in lines 16 and

   18 ?

   (A) It is responsible for most of the major

      geologic events that have occurred.

   (B) It is responsible for most of the marine

      extinctions that have occurred.

   (C) Its recurrence is unlikely to be able to be

      predicted by scientists.

   (D) Its existence was not seriously considered

      by scientists before Raup and Sepkoski did

      their research.

   (E) Its existence was confirmed by the research

      of Raup and Sepkoski.



     A recent history of the Chicago meat-packing

industry and its workers examines how the industry

grew from its appearance in the 1830’s through the

early 1890’s. Meat-packers, the author argues, had

(5)  good wages, working conditions, and prospects for

    advancement within the packinghouses, and did not

cooperate with labor agitators since labor relations

were so harmonious. Because the history maintains

that conditions were above standard for the era, the

(10) frequency of labor disputes, especially in the mid-

1880’s, is not accounted for. The work ignores the

fact that the 1880’s were crucial years in American

labor history, and that the packinghouse workers’

efforts were part of the national movement for labor

(15) reform.

  In fact, other historical sources for the late nine-

teenth century record deteriorating housing and high  

disease and infant mortality rates in the industrial  

community, due to low wages and unhealthy working

(20) conditions. Additional data from the University of

   Chicago suggest that the packinghouses were danger-

ous places to work. The government investigation

commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt

which eventually led to the adoption of the 1906

(25) Meat Inspection Act found the packinghouses

unsanitary, while social workers observed that most

of the workers were poorly paid and overworked.

   The history may be too optimistic because most of

its data date from the 1880’s at the latest, and the infor-

(30) mation provided from that decade is insufficiently

   analyzed. Conditions actually declined in the 1880’s,

and continued to decline after the 1880’s, due to a

reorganization of the packing process and a massive

influx of unskilled workers. The deterioration in

(35) worker status, partly a result of the new availability of

   unskilled and hence cheap labor, is not discussed.

Though a detailed account of work in the packing-

houses is attempted, the author fails to distinguish

between the wages and conditions for skilled workers

(40) and for those unskilled laborers who comprised the

majority of the industry’s workers from the 1880’s

on. While conditions for the former were arguably

tolerable due to the strategic importance of skilled

workers in the complicated slaughtering, cutting, and

(45) packing process (though worker complaints about the

rate and conditions of work were frequent), pay and

conditions for the latter were wretched.

   The author’s misinterpretation of the origins of the

feelings the meat-packers had for their industrial

(50) neighborhood may account for the history’s faulty

generalizations. The pride and contentment the author

remarks upon were, arguably, less the products of the

industrial world of the packers ---- the giant yards and

the intricate plants ---- than of the unity and vibrance

(55)of the ethnic cultures that formed a viable community

on Chicago’s South Side. Indeed, the strength of this

   community succeeded in generating a social movement

   that effectively confronted the problems of the industry

   that provided its livelihood.



21. The passage is primarily concerned with discussing

   (A) how historians ought to explain the origins

      of the conditions in the Chicago meat-

      packing industry

   (B) why it is difficult to determine the actual

      nature of the conditions in the Chicago

      meat-packing industry

   (C) why a particular account of the conditions

      in the Chicago meat-packing industry is

      inaccurate

   (D) what ought to be included in any account

      of the Chicago meat-packers’ role in the

      national labor movement

   (E) what data are most relevant for an accurate

      account of the relations between Chicago

      meat-packers and local labor agitators



22. The author of the passage mentions all of the

   following as describing negative conditions in

   the meat-packing industry EXCEPT

   (A) data from the University of Chicago

   (B) a recent history of the meat-packing

      industry

   (C) social workers

   (D) historical sources for the late nineteenth

      century

   (E) government records



23. The author of the passage mentions the “social

   movement” (line 57) generated by Chicago’s

   South Side community primarily in order to

   (A) inform the reader of events that occurred in

      the meat-packing industry after the period

      of time covered by the history

   (B) suggest the history’s limitations by

      pointing out a situation that the history

      failed to explain adequately

   (C) salvage the history’s point of view by

      suggesting that there were positive

      developments in the meat-packing industry

      due to worker unity

   (D) introduce a new issue designed to elaborate

      on the good relationship between the meat-

      packers and Chicago’s ethnic communities

   (E) suggest that the history should have

      focused more on the general issue of the

      relationship between labor movements and

      healthy industrial communities



24. According to the passage, the working

   conditions of skilled workers in the meat-

   packing industry during the 1880’s were

   influenced by

  (A) the workers’ determined complaints about

     the rate and conditions of their work

  (B) the efforts of social workers to improve

     sanitation in the packinghouses

  (C) the workers’ ability to perform the

     industry’s complex tasks

  (D) improvements in the industry’s packing

     process that occurred in the 1880’s

  (E) opportunities for job advancement due to

     the filling of less desira ble positions by

     increasing numbers of unskilled workers



25. The author of the passage uses the second

    paragraph to

   (A) summarize the main point of the history

      discussed in the passage

   (B) explain why the history discussed in the

      passage has been disparaged by critics

   (C) evaluate the findings of recent studies that

      undermine the premises of the history

      discussed in the passage

   (D) introduce a hypothesis that will be discussed in

      detail later in the passage

   (E) present evidence that is intended to refute the

      argument of the history discussed in the passage

26. The tone of the author of the passage in discussing

   the meat-packer community on Chicago’s South Side

   can best be described as one of

   (A) appreciation of the community’s ability to

      cope with difficult conditions

   (B) admiration for the community’s refusal to

      cooperate with labor agitators

   (C) indignation at the kinds of social conditions the

      community faced

   (D) annoyance at the community’s inability to

      abolish discrimination in the meat-packing

      industry

   (E) concern that the meat-packers’ feelings for

      their community have not been documented



27. The information in the passage suggests that

   the author of the history discussed in the

   passage made which of the following errors?

   (A) Failing to recognize the effect of the

      diversity of the South Side community on

      the meat-packers’ efforts to reform the

      industry

   (B) Attributing good working conditions in the

      meat-packing industry to the efforts of labor

      agitators

   (C) Overemphasizing the importance of the

      availability of unskilled labor as an influence

      on conditions in the meat packing industry

   (D) Interpreting the meat-packers’ feelings for

      their community as appreciation of their

      industry

   (E) Failing to observe the pride and contentment

      felt by the meat-packers

比预定的时间提前一天整理好了，大家加油，偶也要加油

模考第八套题目98.04易错题集锦

SECTION1(语文)

7.scholars既然表示要dedend its claim，则要求的动作肯定是促进defend的，选项只有ADDUCE“举证”能支持scholars的说法，concede是承认的意思，与DEFEND无明确动作关系。后面的despite对这个claims还做了同义转折，即不仅对这个STATUS有用，对其他printing artifacts也同样有提升促进的作用。

16.convulsion是指类似于痉挛的病症, 症状就是肌肉不受控制的contraction
CONVULSION: CONTRACTION::
   (A) aggression: attack
   (B) sulkiness: punishment
   (C) persistence: acquiescence
   (D) frenzy: emotion
   (E) indifference: greeting
convulsion is an abnormal and volient contraction,所以和这个意思最接近的应该是frenzy:emotion,因为frenzy is a sudden madness and volient agitated state.所以D最为接近。

SECTION3(数学)

2.右边为 1/21

14. x+y<xy，代入y=1/2，x+1/2<1/2x，解得1/2x<-1/2,x<-1<0

15.右边为100的3次方

19.他就是说那个俱乐部筹集到的钱，每3元，这个公司就会给俱乐部捐1元，然后问俱乐部需要自己筹集多少钱，使得筹集的加上公司捐的一共24000

直接设要筹集x，x/3 * 1 + x = 24000

28.题目意思就是y=1/2x-1和x=y方程联立，解得x=y=-2

29.David一共工作了4+10=14天；Michael一共工作了1+10=11天。两人总工作天数是14+11=25天。
所以David应该得3000/25*14=1680.

SECTION4(语文)

4.In contrast to the----- with which the
  acquisition of language by young children was
  once regarded, the process by which such
  learning occurs has now become the object
  of ----- .
  (B) incuriosity .. scrutiny
  (C) anxiety .. criticism
渴望焦虑和批评不能算是相对的词.. 而毫不关心和下大力气研究是很登对的一组
另外这也是ETS常有的论调, 以前对很多有趣的东西一味忽视, 现在才又热起来

5.这题分两个思路：1、SENATOR的REMARK为假，则SHE肯定要进行下一轮竞选，而答案第二个空应该填基金征集活动“支持”等意思，而答案没有此意；2、SENATOR的REMARK为真，则SHE对下一轮是否竞选的态度是AMBIVALENT“矛盾的”，则第二空应填基金活动 “不支持”，看到D的APATHETIC“冷淡的”，即表示对她的不支持，入选。

SECTION6(数学)

11.有一个直角三角形，两直边为x，y. 斜边为c. 且x*y = 12。显然 c^2 = x^2+y^2 >= 2x*y = 24, 从而 c 和 5的关系不确定

15.R的概率为0.38，那么不管W的概率为多少（小于等于1），故R和W同时发生的概率肯定小于0.38。

23.星期二最后一次测量应该是晚上7点,测量值是19.6;星期三第一次测量是早上7点,测量值是20.2
所以差是0.6,然后两次测量相隔12小时,用0.6/12=0.05

24.for how many successive pairs of...? 他就是要让你找一下有多少连续的观察对，使得之间的差at least 1/2 foot。看图可知Saturday的3:00 pm.和7:00 pm.组成的successive pairs 符合

25.最高是21,最低是17.5,所以差是3.5
3.5/17.5=0.2=20%

想问一下section6 7题怎么做呢？y=1/125*10^x和y=x有交点？如何判断呢？
还有此section15题好像条件不足吧？

7. 直接带几个数，x=0,y=1/125,x<y
                         x=1,y=10/125,x>y
15.时间R发生的概率是0.38，事件R和W同时发生必小于或等于0.38<0.40

还有此section15题好像条件不足吧？

第7题: 比方说y=10/125,则x=1;若y=8,x=3,所以不能确定

15题貌似以前讨论的结果是不管W怎么样,RW一起发生总归是小于等于0.38,进而小于0.4

第2段第一句correctly是support.后面的fortunately表明是无奈reluctant

俺选A，错了

29.David一共工作了4+10=14天；Michael一共工作了1+10=11天。两人总工作天数是14+11=25天。
所以David应该得3000/25*14=1680.

section 1 第1题是选B，
第4题 因为有inspite of，首先 知道两空所填的词应相反，再从第二空入手，核心词汇是表人物特征的词enthusiastic,其前面有个oblivion，两者意思相反，所以第二空应该填否定的，也即双重否定。二第一空应该与后面的意思相反，所以填贬义词。
第5题你理解错了， not to say是“虽说不上”的意思，由让步可知程度应该是轻，即weaken.
section 3 第2题有问题，答案错了，
29题 因为说两人每天的报酬相同，两人总共做的天数应该为10+10+10+=25，每天的工钱为3000/25=120，而David 做了14天，所以报酬为120*14=1680.。。
简单点就是3000*（14/25）=1680
