The Official SAT Question of the Day---SAT每日一题(已更新到July 27)

tuziduiduiUID: 2599524

我也忘记当初因为什么原因使得我现在每天都会收到一个关于SAT的问题，本想把之前收到的所有SAT Question的邮件做一个整理发上来，才发现原来如果当天不看便会作废。于是，便决定从今天起，将每天的问题发上来，权当给考SAT的朋友们的零食吧！我会尽量每天更新的。
另外，我自己并没有接触过任何SAT的东西，所有发上来的问题和答案解释都是从collegeboard上面得到的，如果童鞋觉得有问题，只能自己figure out了。

1 {) l3 N7 ^- D二楼为汇总楼
' q1 j# [2 B3 ]: h三楼开始
( h! s+ p; G/ c8 y* {- h/ ^8 X对于那些已经给出答案的题目，童鞋先自觉忽略它，做完再对喽！或者有更好的关于排版的意见也可以告诉我，暂时先把题目和答案放在一个楼层了。

Here's why:
The word "merely" indicates that the pastprovisions were not as strict as the "mandatory" provisions and"recommended" is the only first term that conveys a lesser degree ofstrctness. Only "violators" could logically be penalized by losingtheir federal research grants.
