Now manufacturers are introducing fat-free versions of various foods that they claim have the taste and texture of the traditional high-fat versions. Even if the manufacturers’s claim is true, given that the availability of sugar-free foods did not reduce sugar consumption, it is unlikely that the availability of these fat-free foods will reduce fat consumption. Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument?A several kinds of fat substitute are available to manufacturers, each of which gives a noticeably different taste and texture to products that contain it.B the products made with artificial sweeteners did not taste like products made with sugar.C the foods brought out in sugar-free versions did not generally have reduced levels of fat, but many of the fat-free versions about to be introduced are low in sugar.D people who regularly consume products containing artificial sweeteners are more likely than others to consume fat-free foods.E not all foods containing fat can be produced in fat-free versions.(8-11题基于以下文章阅读)Recent studies of sediment in the North Atlantic’deep waters reveal possible cyclical patterns in the history of Earth’s climate. The rock fragments in these sediments are too large to have been transported there by ocean currents, they must have reached their present locations by traveling in large icebergs that floated long distance from their point of origin before melting. Geologist Gerard Bond noticed that some of the sediment grains were stained with iron oxide, evidence that they originated in locales where glaciers had overrun outcrops of red sand stone. Bond’s detailed analysis of deep-water sediment cores showed changes in the mix of sediment sources over time: the proportion of these red-stained grains fluctuated back and forth from lows of 5 percent to highs of about 17 percent, and these fluctuations occurred in a nearly regular 1,500-year cycle.Bond hypothesized that the alternation cycles might be evidence of changes in ocean-water circulation and therefore in Earth’s climate. He knew that the sources of the red-stained grains were generally closer to the North Pole than were the places yielding a high proportion of“clean” grains. At certain times, apparently, more icebergs from the Arctic Ocean in the far north were traveling south well into the North Atlantic before melting and shedding their sediment.Ocean waters are constantly moving. And water temperature is both a cause and an effect of this movement. As water cools, it becomes denser and sinks to the ocean’s bottom. During some periods, the bottom layer of the world’s oceans comes from cold, dense water sinking in the far North Atlantic. This causes the warm surface waters of the Gulf Stream to be pulled northward. Bond realized that during such periods, the influx of these warm surface waters into northern regions could cause a large proportion of the icebergs that bear red grains to melt before traveling very far into the North Atlantic. But sometimes the ocean’s dynamic changes, and waters from the Gulf stream do not travel northward in this way. During these periods, surface waters in the North Atlantic would generally be colder, permitting icebergs bearing red-stained grains to travel farther south in the North Atlantic before melting and depositing their sediment.The onset of the so-called Little Ice Age(1300-1860), which followed the Medieval Warm Period of the eighth through tenth centuries, may represent the most recent time that the ocean’s dynamic changed in this way. If ongoing climate-history studies support Bond’s hypothesis of 1,500-year cycles, scientists may establish a ma jor natural rhythm in Earth’s temperatures that could then be extrapolated into the future. Because the midpoint of the Medieval Warm Period was about AD.850, an extension of Bond’s cycles would place the midpoint of the next warm interval in the twenty-fourth century.8 according to the passage, which of the following is true of the rock fragments contained in the sediments studied by Bond?A the majority of them are composed of red sandstone.B they must have reached their present location over 1,500 years ago.C they were carried by icebergs to their present location.D Most of them were carried to their present location during a warm period in Earth’s climatic history.E They are unlikely to have been carried to their present location during the Little Ice Age.9 In the final paragraph of the passage, the author is concerned primarily withA answering a question about Earth’s climatic historyB pointing out a potential flaw in Bond’s hypothesisC suggesting a new focus for the study of ocean sedimentsD tracing the general history of Earth’s climateE discussing possible implications of Bond’s hypothesis.10 According to the passage, Bond hypothesized that which of the following circumstances would allow red-stained sediment grains to reach more southerly latitudes?A Warm waters being pulled northward from the Gulf StreamB Climatic conditions causing icebergs to melt relatively quicklyC Icebergs containing a higher proportion of iron oxide than usualD The formation of more icebergs than usual in the far northE the presence of cold surface waters in the North Atlantic11 It can be inferred from the passage that in sediment cores from the North Atlantic’s deep waters, the portions that corres pond to the Little Ice AgeA differ very little in composition from the portions that correspond to the Medieval Warm Period.B fluctuate significantly in composition between the portions corresponding to the 1300s and the portions corresponding to the 1700sC would be likely to contain a proportion of red-stained grains closer to 17 percent than to 5 percent.D show a much higher proportion of red-stained grains in cores extracted from the far north of the North Atlantic than in cores extracted from further south.E were formed in part as a result of Gulf Stream waters having been pulled northward.12 Early critics of Emily Dickinson’s poetry mistook for simplemindedness the surface of artlessness that in fact she constructed with suchA astonishmentB craftC cunningD innocenceE naiveteF vexation13 The macromolecule RNA is common to all living beings, and DNA, which is found in all organisms except some bacteria, is almostA comprehensiveB fundamentalC inclusiveD universalE significantF ubiquitous14 While in many ways their personalities could not have been more different—she was ebullient where he was glum, relaxed where he was awkward, garrulous where he was --they were surprisingly well suited.A solicitousB munificentC irresoluteD laconicE fastidiousF taciturn15 Even in this business, where________is part of everyday life, a talent of lying is not something usually found on one’s resume.A aspirationB mendacityC prevaricationD insensitivityE basenessF avarice（16题基于以下文章阅读）Historians frequently employ probate inventories- lists of possessions compiles after a person’s death—to estimate standard of living. Because these inventories were taken by amateur assessors according to unwritten rules, they are sometimes unreliable. One way to check their accuracy is to compare them to archaeological records. A study of records from the state of Delaware in the eighteenth century found that while very few inventories listed earthenware, every excavation contained earthenware. Earthenware may have gone unlisted simply because it was inexpensive. But if it was so commonplace, why was it listed more often for wealthy households？Perhaps the more earthenware people had, the more likely appraisers were to note it. A few bowls could easily be absorbed into another category, but a roomful of earthenware could not.16 Select the sentence that provides support for an answer to a question in the passage.（17-19题基于以下文章阅读）In the 1980s, neuroscientists studying the brain processes underlying our sense of conscious wil l compared subjects’ judgments regarding their subjective will to move(W) and actual movement(M) with objective electroencephalographic activity called readiness potential, or RP. As expected, W preceded M: subjects consciously perceived the intention to move as preceding a conscious experience of actually moving. This might seem to suggest an appropriate correspondence between the sequence of subjective experiences and the sequence of the underlying events in the brain. But researchers actually found a surprising temporal relation between subjective experience and objectively measured neural events: in direct contradiction of the classical conception of free will, neural preparation to move(RP) preceded conscious awareness of the intention to move(W) by hundreds of milliseconds.17 based on information contained in the passage, which of the following chains of events would most closely conform to the classical conception of free will?A W followed by RP followed by MB RP followed by W followed by MC M followed by W followed by RPD RP followed by M followed by WE RP followed by W and M simultaneously18 in the context in which it appears, ‘temporal’ most nearly meansA secularB mundaneC numericalD physiologicalE chronological19 the author of the passage mentions the classical conception of free will primarily in order toA argue that earlier theories regarding certain brain processes were based on false assumptionsB suggest a possible flaw in the reasoning of neuroscientists conducting the study discussed in the passageC provide a possible explanation for the unexpected results obtained by neuroscientistsD cast doubt on neuroscientists’ conclusions regarding the temporal sequence of brain processesE indicate the reason that the results of the n euroscientists’ study were surprising.20．（逻辑题）Rain-soaked soil contains less oxygen than does drier soil. The roots of melon plants perform less efficiently under the low-oxygen conditions present in rain-soaked soil. When the efficiency of melon roots is impaired, the roots do not supply sufficient amounts of the proper nutrients for the plants to perform photosynthesis at their usual levels. It follows that melon plants have a lower-than-usual rate of photosynthesis when their roots are in rain-soaked soil. When the photosynthesis of the plants slows, sugar stored in the fruits is drawn off to supply the plants with energy. Therefore, ripe melons harvested after a prolonged period of heavy rain should be less sweet than other ripe melons.In the argument given, the two highlighted portions play which of the following roles?A the first states the conclusion of the argument as a whole, the second provides support for that conclusion.B the first provide support for the conclusion of the argument as a whole, the second provides evidence that support an objection to that conclusion.C the first provide support for an intermediate conclusion that support a further conclusion stated in the argument, the second states that intermediate conclusion.D the first serves as an intermediate conclusion that support a further conclusion stated in the argument, the second states the position that the argument as a whole opposes.E the first states the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second supports the conclusion of the argument .参考答案：1C 2 E 3 CD 4 BD 5 AF 6 ADG 7 B 8 C 9 E 10 E 11 C 12 BC 13 DF 14 DF 15 BC 16 最后一句 17 B 18 E 19 E 20 CSection41 Far from viewing Jefferson as a skeptical but enlightened intellectual, historian s of the 1960’s portrayed him as______thinker, eager to fill the young with his political orthodoxy while censoring ideas he did not like.(A) an adventurous(B) a doctrinaire(C) an eclectic(D) a judicious(E) a cynical2 stories are a haunted genre, hardly(i)________kind of story, the ghost story is almost the paradigm of the form, and(ii)________ was undoubtedly one effect that Poe had in mind when he wrote about how stories work.3 the playwright’s approach is(i)________ in that her works(ii)______ the theatrical devices normally used to create drama on the stage4 I’ve long anticipated this retrospective of the artist’s work, hoping it would make (i)______ judgments about him possible, but greater familiarity with his paintings highlights their inherent (ii)______ and actually makes one’s assessment(iii)_______ .5 Higher energy prices would have many (i)_______ effects on society as a whole.

Johnson as a great early jazz pianist, originator of the 1920sHarlem“stride”style, and an important blues and jazz composer. In addition, however, Johnson was an innovator in classical music, composing symphonic music that incorporated American, and especially African American, traditions.Such a blend of musical elements was not entirely new: by 1924 both Milhaud and Gershwin had composed classical works that incorporated elements of jazz. Johnson, a serious musician more experienced than most classical composers with jazz, blues, spirituals, and popular music, was particularly suited to expand Mihaud’s Gershwin’s experiments . In 1927 he completed his first large-scale work, the blues-and jazz-inspired Yamekraw, which included borrowings from spirituals and Johnson’s own popular songs. Yamekraw, premiered successfully in Carnegie Hall, was a ma jor achievement for Johnson, becoming his most frequently performed extended work. It demonstrated vividly the possibility of assimilating contemporary popular music into the symphonic tradition.7 which if the following best describes the organization of the passage?A a historical overview is presented, and a particular phenomenon is noted and analyzed.B a popular belief is challenged, and a rival interpretation is presented and supported.C a common viewpoint is presented and modified, and the modification is supported.D an observation is made and rejected, and evidence for that rejection is presented.E a common claim is investigated, and an alternative outlook is analyzed and criticized.8 consider each of the choices separately and select all that applyThe author suggests which of the following about most classical composers of the early 1920s?A they were strongly influenced by the musical experiments of Milhaud and GershwinB they had little working familiarity with such forms of American music as jazz, blues, and popular songs.C they made few attempts to introduce innovations into the classical symphonic tradition.9 the passage states that Johnson composed all of the following EXCEPT :A jazz worksB popular songsC symphonic musicD spiritualsE blues pieces（10-11题基于以下文章阅读）The nearly circular orbits of planets in our solar system led scientists to expect that planets around other stars would also reside in circular orbits. However, most known extrasolar planets reside in highly elongated, not circular, orbits. Why? The best clue comes from comets in our solar system. Comets formed in circular orbits but were gravitationally flung into their present-day elliptical orbits when they ventured too close to planets. Astronomers suspect that pairs of planets also engage in this slingshot activity, leaving them in disturbed, elliptical orbits. If two planets form in close orbits, one will be scattered inward(toward its star), the other outward. They will likely then travel close enough to neighboring planets to disturb their orbits also.10 consider each of the choices and select all that applyAccording to the passage, which of the following factors help account for the elliptical shape of the orbits of extrasolar planet？A the planet’s formation in close proximity to other planetsB the gravitational influence of planets whose original orbits have been disturbedC the gravitational influence of comets11 consider each of the choices separately and select all that applyThe passage suggests that two planets formed in close orbits that engaged in ‘slingshot activity’ would be likely toA deflect away from each otherB change the shape of each other’s orbitC affect the orbits of any neighboring planets12 Once White stepped down from a political platform, where his daring,______ speeches provoked baying applause from audiences, he was courteous and considerate even to politicians he had just slandered in the speech.A floridB defamatoryC calumniousD inveiglingE timorousF diffident13 clearly the government faced a dilemma: it could hardly_____trials, especially in the absence of irrefutable evidence, but it also would not welcome, in the midst of war, the scandal that would arise if trials were avoided.A be keen onB be inclined toC arrangeD dispense withE turn its back onF credit14 the hodgepodge nature of local and federal law enforcement and the changing but often still inadequate regulations governing the credit industry make identity theft a particularly ________crime.A unobjectionableB viableC dubiousD innocuousE uncontrollableF intractable15 Economic competition among nations may lead to new forms of economic protectionism that hearken back to the mercantilism of an earlier age: there are signs today that such protectionism is indeed_______ .A evanescentB resurgentC recrudescentD transitoryE controversialF inimical( 16-17题基于以下文章阅读)According to the conventional view, serfdom in nineteenth-century Russia inhibited economic growth. In this view Russian peasants’status as serfs kept them poor through burdensome taxes in cash, in labor, and in kin d; through restrictions on mobility, and through various forms of coercion. Melton, however, argues that serfdom was perfectly compatible with economic growth, because many Russian serfs were able to get around landlord’rules and regulations. If serfs could pay for passports, they were usually granted permission to leave the estate. If they could pay the fine, they could establish a separate household; and if they had the resources, they could hire laborers to cultivate the communal lands, while they themselves engaged in trade or worked as migrant laborers in cities.16 consider each of the choices separately and select all that applyIt can be inferred from the passage that the “rules and regulations” affecting serfdom in Russia involvedA responsibility f or the work needed to accomplish certain defined tasksB restrictions on freedom of movementC limitations on the ability to set up an independent household.17 consider each of the choices separately and select all that applyThe highlighted sentence has which of the following functions in the passage?A it provides support for an argument presented in the preceding sentenceB it provides e vidence that helps undermine a view introduced in the first sentenceC it raises a question that the succeeding sentence will resolve.18（逻辑题）The dusky salamander lives only in slow-moving streams where organic debris settles and accumulates. In almost all places in New York State where dusky salamanders used to live, suburban development has cleared uplands and put down asphalt. As a result, rainwater now runs directly into streams, causing increased flow that slows the accumulation of organicsediments. Therefore, it is probably the increased flow caused by suburban development that is responsible for the duskysal amander’s virtual disappearance from New York State.Which if the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument?A Since 1980 the suburban population of New York State has grown ten times faster than urban population.B Dusky salamanders have disappeared in the past ten years from some suburban areas of New York State that were originally developed more than a century ago and that have not experienced significant development for decades.C The two-line salamander, a species that lives in both slow and swift moving waters, continues to thrive in streams in New York State from which dusky salamanders have disappeared.D Suburban development in New York State contributes significantly to pollution of local streams with lawn fertilizers that are poisonous to most small aquatic animals.E Much of the suburban development in New York State has been occurring in areas that never provided prime habitat for dusky salamanders.（19-20题基于以下文章阅读）While the influence of British magazines in shaping public opinion predates the nineteenth century, it was during the 1800s that mass distribution became possible and an explosion in periodical readership occurred, vastly increasing magazine’sopinion-shaping powers. The role of magazines as arbiters of nineteenth-century taste is seen in their depictions of the London theater. The magazines accorded some legitimacy to East End working-class theaters that mirrored the format of the fashionable West End theaters serving middle-and upper-class audiences. However, the magazines also depicted music halls—which competed for patronage with all theaters—as places where crass entertainment corrupted spectators’s taste and morals. Finally, they suggested that popular demand for substandard fare created a market unfriendly to higher expressions of dramatic art.19 the author of the passage attributes the influence of British periodicals in shaping public opinion in the nineteenth century in part toA a growing public interest in reading opinion piecesB an increase in the relative number of readers from the middle and upper classesC changes in the way in which magazines were distributedD magazines’s increased coverage of theater and popular entertainmentE changes in magazine format that attracted a wider readership20 the author of the passage mentions “East End working-class theaters” primarily in order toA illustrate a point ab out the ability of magazines to sway public opinionB contrast the kinds of entertainment presented in East End and West End theatersC make a point ab out how spectators’s tastes influenced the offerings at different kind of theatersD explain how magazine chose which kinds of entertainment to cover.E identify factors that helped make certain theaters fashionable参考答案1 B 2AE 3 BD 4 BEG 5 CFI 6 ADH 7 C 8 C 9 D 10 AB 11 ABC 12 BC 13 A B 14 EF15 BC 16 ABC 17 AB 18 C 19 C 20 A。
GRE(QUANTITATIVE)综合模拟试卷2(题后含答案及解析)
GRE（QUANTITATIVE）综合模拟试卷2(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. 2. 3.1．正确答案：A解析：In this question you are given that machine R, working alone at its constant rate, produces x units of a product in 30 minutes. Since it is easy to see that 3 hours is 6 times 30 minutes, you can conclude that Quantity A is 6x. You can compare 6x with Quantity B in two ways. One: In the additional information centered above the quantities, you are given that machine S, working alone at its constant rate, produces x units of the product in 48 minutes, so you can conclude that machine S can produce 6x units of the product in(6)(48)minutes, or 4.8 hours. So in 4 hours, machine S produces less than 6x units, and Quantity B is less than 6x. Two: First, convert 48 minutes to 4/5 hour, then find the number of 48-minute periods there are in 4 hours by computing= 5. Thus, Quantity B is 5x. Either way, Quantity A is greater than Quantity B, and the correct answer is Choice A.2．正确答案：B解析：In this problem you are asked to compare the average with the median of the 120 numbers in list Z. Since list Z consists of the numbers in lists X and Y combined, it is reasonable to try to use the information about lists X and Y to calculate the average and the median of the numbers in list Z. To determine the average of the 120 numbers in list Z, you can use the information given about the individual averages of the numbers in lists X and Y. Because lists X and Y each contain 60 numbers, the average of the numbers in list Z is the average of the individual averages of the numbers in lists X and Y. Thus, the average of the numbers in list Z is, or 4.9. To determine the median of the 120 numbers in list Z, first note that list Z contains an even number of numbers, so the median of the numbers in list Z is the average of the middle two numbers when the numbers are listed in increasing order. If you look at the numbers in the two lists, you will see that the 60 numbers in list X are all less than or equal to 5, and the 60 numbers in list Y are all greater than or equal to 6. Thus, the two middle numbers in list Z are 5 and 6, and the average of these numbers is, or 5.5. Therefore, the median of the numbers in list Z is 5.5, and this is greater than the average of 4.9. The correct answer is Choice B.3．正确答案：D解析：You are given that the circle has a diameter of 10, and from the figure you can assume that points A, B, C, and D lie on the circle in the order shown. However, because figures are not necessarily drawn to scale, you cannot assume anything else about the positions of points A, B, C, and D on the circle. Therefore, to get an idea of how various possible positions of these four points could affect the area of quadrilateral ABCD, it is a good idea to see how the figure can vary but still have points A, B, C, and D in the same order as in the figure above. One way that you might vary the figure is to evenly space the four points along the circle, as shown below. Another way is to draw points A and C opposite each other, with points B and D close to point C, as shown below. From these figures you can draw some basic conclusions about the area of ABCD. If points A and C are opposite each other, with points B and D very close to point C, the area of quadrilateral ABCD is very close to 0. Clearly, the area can be less than 40(Quantity B). If points A, B, C, and D are evenly spaced, the area is not close to 0. How does the area compare with 40? To calculate the area of ABCD, draw the diameters AC and BD in the figure. The two diameters are perpendicular bisectors of each other, so they divide ABCD into four right triangles, as shown. The area of each of the right triangles is(1/2)(5)(5), or 12.5. Thus, the area ofABCD is(4)(12.5), or 50. Since the area of the quadrilateral in the first figure is less than 40 and the area of the quadrilateral in the second figure is greater than 40, the relationship cannot be determined from the information given. The correct answer is Choice D.4．正确答案：B解析：You are given that x2y > 0, which means that the product of the two numbers x2 and y is positive. Recall that the product of two numbers is positive only if both numbers are positive or both numbers are negative. The square of a number is always greater than or equal to 0. In this case, x2 cannot equal 0 because the product x2y is not 0. Thus, x2 is positive and it follows that y is also positive. You are also given that xy2 0, which of the following is equivalent to?A．x2B．x3C．x4D．x5E．x6正确答案：D解析：To simplify, it can be helpful to write(x2)3 as(x2)(x2)(x2)in the given expression; that is,. Because x0, both numerator and denominator can be divided by x2, and the expression simplifies to x(x2)(x2), which, by the rules of exponents, is equal to x5. Another way to simplify the expression using the rules of exponentsdirectly is as follows.The correct answer is Choice D.7．The figure above shows the graph of the function f in the xy-plane. What is the value of f(f(-1))?A．-2B．-1C．0D．1E．2正确答案：D解析：Note that to find f(f(-l)), you must apply the function f twice, first to find the value of f(-1)and then to find the value of f(f(-l)). To find the value of f(-l), find the point on the graph of the function f whose x-coordinate is x =-1. This point has y-coordinate y = 2. Therefore, the value of f(-1)is 2, and f(f(-1))= f(2). Next you need to find the value of f(2). To find the value of f(2), find the point on the graph whose x-coordinate is x = 2. This point has y-coordinate y = 1. Therefore, f(2)= 1, and because f(f(-1))= f(2), you can conclude that f(f(-l))= 1. The correct answer is Choice D.8．If= 1, which of the following statements describes d in terms of n ?A．d is 4 less than n.B．d is 4 more than n.C．d is 3/7 of n.D．d is 2 times n.E．d is 5 times n.正确答案：E解析：To describe d in terms of n, you need to solve the equation[*]= 1 for d. To simplify the equation, you can begin by multiplying both sides by 7n - d and then proceed as follows.[*]d - 3n = 7n —d d=10n-d 2d= 10n d = 5n The correct answer is Choice E.9．By weight, liquid A makes up 8 percent of solution R and 18 percent of solution S. If 3 grams of solution R are mixed with 7 grams of solution S, then liquid A accounts for what percent of the weight of the resulting solution?A．10%B．13%C．15%D．19%E．26%正确答案：C解析：Liquid A makes up 8 percent of the weight of solution R and 18 percent of the weight of solution S. Therefore, 3 grams of solution R contain(0.08)(3), or 0.24 gram of liquid A, and 7 grams of solution S contain(0.18)(7), or 1.26 grams of liquid A. When the two solutions are mixed, the resulting solution weighs 3 + 7, or 10 gramsand contains 0.24 + 1.26, or 1.5 grams of liquid A. This means that liquid A makes up1.5/10, or15/100, or 15 percent of the weight of the resulting solution. The correct answer is Choice C.10．Of the 700 members of a certain organization, 120 are lawyers. Two members of the organization will be selected at random. Which of the following is closest to the probability that neither of the members selected will be a lawyer?A．0.5B．0.6C．0.7D．0.8E．0.9正确答案：C解析：The probability that neither of the members selected will be a lawyer is equal to the fractionthe number of ways 2 members who are not lawyers can be selected the number of ways 2 members can be selectedwhere the order of selection does not matter. Since there are 120 members who are lawyers, there must be 700 - 120, or 580 members who are not lawyers. There are 580 ways of selecting a first member who is not a lawyer and 579 ways of selecting a second member who is not a lawyer. Multiplying these two numbers gives the number of ways to select 2 members who are not lawyers. However, in the(580)(579)ways, each group of 2 members who are not lawyers is counted twice. You can see this by considering 2 members, A and B. The 2 members can be chosen in 2 ways: A first, followed by B, and B first, followed by A. To adjust for double counting, you need to divide(580)(579)by 2. Similarly, the number of ways 2 members can be selected from among the 700 members is(700)(699)divided by 2. Thus, the desired probability isSince the answer choices are all tenths, you need to approximate the value of this fraction to the nearest tenth. There are several ways to do this approximation. One way is to use your calculator to convert the fraction to a decimal and round the decimal to the nearest tenth. Another way is to approximate the value of the fraction as follows. Either way, the answer choice that is closest to the value of the fraction is 0.7.The correct answer is Choice C. Another approach to this problem is to consider the random selections as two separate but successive events. The probability of selecting a first member who is not a lawyer is =580/700, because there are 580 members out of the 700 members who are not lawyers. For the second selection, there are only 699 members left to select from, because one member has already been selected. If the first member selected is not a lawyer, then there are only 579 members left who are not lawyers. So the probability of selecting a second member who is not a lawyer, given the condition that the first member selected was not a lawyer, is 579/699. The probability that both members selected will not be lawyers is the product of the two probabilities, or(580/700)(579/699), which is approximated above as 0.72. The correct answer is Choice C.11．The figure above represents a rectangular garden with a walkway around it.The garden is 18 feet long and 12 feet wide. The walkway is uniformly 3 feet wide, and its edges meet at right angles. What is the area of the walkway?______square feet正确答案：216解析：You can see from the figure that the shaded region is the region between the two rectangles. Looking at the shaded region in this way suggests that the area of the walkway can be calculated as the difference between the area of the larger rectangle and the area of the smaller rectangle. The region represented by the smaller rectangle is the garden. Since the garden is 18 feet long and 12 feet wide, its area is(18)(12), or 216 square feet. The region represented by the larger rectangle is the garden and the walkway combined. The length of the region is the length of the garden plus twice the width of the walkway, or 18 +(2)(3)= 24 feet. The width of the region is the width of the garden plus twice the width of the walkway, or 12 +(2)(3)= 18 feet. Therefore, the area of the region represented by the larger rectangle is(24)(18), or 432 square feet, and the area of the walkway is 432 —216, or 216 square feet. Another way to approach this problem is to think of the walkway as being composed of four rectangles and four squares, as shown in the figure below. Each of the four squares is 3 feet long and 3 feet wide. The two rectangles running along the length of the garden are 18 feet long and 3 feet wide, and the two rectangles running along the width of the garden are 12 feet long and 3 feet wide. Thus, the area of the walkway is 4(3)(3)+ 2(18)(3)+ 2(12)(3)= 36 + 108 + 72 = 216 square feetThe correct answer is 216.12．Line k lies in the xy-plane. The x-intercept of line k is -4, and line k passes through the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are(2, 9)and(2,0). What is the slope of line k ?Give your answer as a fraction.正确答案：3/4解析：You can calculate the slope of a line if you know the coordinates of two points on the line. In this question you are given information about two points on line k, namely, the point at which line k crosses the x-axis has x-coordinate -4; the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints at(2, 9)and(2,0)is on line k.The coordinates of the first point are(-4, 0), since the x-coordinate is -4 and the y-coordinate of every point on the x-axis is 0. For the second point, the midpoint of the line segment is halfway between the endpoints(2, 9)and(2, 0).Thus, the midpoint has x-coordinate 2 and y-coordinate 9/2, the number halfway between 9 and 0. Based on the coordinates(-4, 0)and(2,9/2), the slope of line k isThe correct answer is -(or any equivalent fraction).13．If the lengths of two sides of a triangle are 5 and 9, respectively, which of the following could be the length of the third side of the triangle?Indicate all such lengths.A．3B．5C．8D．15正确答案：B，C解析：A good way to approach this problem is to think about how much the length of the third side of a triangle with two fixed side lengths can vary. If you think about it a bit, you will see that the smaller the interior angle between the two sides of the triangle is, the smaller the length of the third side is; and the larger the interior angle between the two sides of the triangle is, the larger the length of the third side is. This suggests drawing two triangles, one in which the angle between the two sides is close to 0 degrees and one in which the angle between the two sides is close to 180 degrees, like the triangles below. In the triangle in which the angle between the sides of length 5 and 9 is small, you can see that the length of the third side is a bit greater than 9 - 5, or 4. If it were equal to 4, the triangle would degenerate into a line segment. In the triangle in which the angle between the sides of length 5 and 9 is large, you can see that the length of the third side is a bit less than 9 + 5, or 14. If it were equal to 14, the triangle would degenerate into a line segment. Therefore, the length of the third side of the triangle must be greater than 4 and less than 14. Furthermore, it is intuitive that any length between these two numbers can be achieved by some triangle. The correct answer consists of Choices B and C.14．On the number line shown above, the tick marks are equally spaced. Which of the following statements about the numbers x, y, and z must be true?Indicate all such statements.A．xyz<0B．x + z =yC．z(y-x)>0正确答案：A，B，C解析：You can see from their positions on the number line that x is less than 0 and both y and z are greater than 0. Because the tick marks are equally spaced, you can also see that x = -y and z = 2y. You need to evaluate each answer choice separately to determine whether it must be true. Choice A says that the product of the three numbers x, y, and z is less than 0. Recall that the product of three numbers is negative under either of the following two conditions. All three numbers are negative. One of the numbers is negative and the other two numbers are positive. Choice A must be true, since x is negative and y and z are positive. Choice B is the equation x + z = y. To see whether the equation must be true, it is a good idea to express two of the variables in terms of the third(that is, to “get rid of” two of the variables). The equations x = —y and z = 2y give x and z in terms of y, so the equation x + z =y can be rewritten, substituting —y for x and 2y for z, as —y + 2y =y. In this form you can quickly conclude that the equation must be true. ChoiceC says that the product of the two numbers z and y - x is greater than 0. Recall that the product of two numbers is positive under either of the following two conditions. Both numbers are positive. Both numbers are negative. Since you already know that z is positive, you can conclude that the product z(y - x)will be positive if y - x is positive. By adding x to both sides of the inequality y - x > 0, you can see that it is equivalent to the inequality y > x, which is clearly true from the number line. Since y —x is positive, the product z(y - x)must be positive. Therefore, the correct answer consists of Choices A, B, and C.。

GRE-练习二十二
GRE-练习二十二(总分：100.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、{{B}}Translation{{/B}}(总题数：8，分数：100.00)1.Many critics of Emily Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights see its second part as a counterpoint that comments on, if it does not reverse, the first part, where a "romantic" reading receives more confirmation. Seeing the two parts as a whole is encouraged by the novel's sophisticated structure, revealed in its complex use of narrators and time shifts. Granted that the presence of these elements need not argue an authorial awareness of novelistic construction comparable to that of Henry James, their presence does encourage attempts to unify the novel's heterogeneous parts. However, any interpretation that seeks to unify, all of the novel's diverse elements is bound to be somewhat unconvincing. This is not because such an interpretation necessarily stiffens into a thesis (although rigidity in any interpretation of this or of any novel is always a danger), but because Wuthering Heights has recalcitrant elements of undeniable power that, ultimately, resist inclusion in an all-encompassing interpretation. In this respect, Wuthering Heights shares a feature of Hamlet.（分数：12.50）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(研究艾米丽·勃朗特小说《呼啸山庄》的许多文学评论家，将小说的第二部分视作一种对比物，即使没有将第一部分予以逆转的话，也是在对第一部分作出一种诠释评判，而在小说第一部分中，一种“浪漫的”的读解能获得更为充分的确证。

But in agriculture, unlike other industries wherewomen were viewed as temporary workers, women’s employment did not end with thewar. Instead, the expansion of agriculture and a steady decrease in the number of malefarmworkers combined to cause the industry to hire more women in the postwar years.Consequently, the 1950s saw a growing number of women engaged in farm labor, eventhough rhetoric in the popular media called for the return of women to domestic life.Question 6 of 10It can be inferred from the passage that the manufacturing and agriculturalsectors in the United States following the Second World War differed in which ofthe following respects?[Fill this bracket with ONE letter, such as “B”.]A.The rate of expansion in each sectorB.The percentage of employees in each sector who were menC.The trend in the wages of men employed in each sectorD.The attitude of the popular media toward the employment of women ineachsectorE.The extent to which women in each sector were satisfied with their jobs Question 7 of 10Which of the following statements about women’s employment in the UnitedStates during and after the Second World War is most clearly supported by thepassage?[Fill this bracket with ONE letter, such as “B”.]A.Most women who joined the workforce during the Second World Warwanted toreturn to domestic life when the war ended.B.The great majority of women who joined the workforce during the SecondWorldWar were employed in manufacturing jobs.C.The end of the Second World War was followed by a large-scale transferofwomen workers from manufacturing to agriculture.D.The increase in women’s employment that accompanied the Second WorldWarwas longer lasting in agriculture than it was in manufacturing.E.The popular media were more forceful in calling for women to join theworkforceduring the Second World War than in calling for women toreturn to domestic life after the war.Questions 8 to 10 are based on the following reading passage.Reviving the practice of using elements of popular music in classical composition, an approach that had been in hibernation in the United States during the 1960s, composer Philip Glass (born 1937) embraced the ethos of popular music without imitating it. Glass based two symphonies on music by rock musicians David Bowie and Brian Eno, but the symphonies’ sound is distinctively his. Popular elements do not appear out ofplace in Glass’s classical music, which from its early days has shared certain harmonies and rhythms with rock music. Y et this use of popular elements has not made Glass a composer of popular music. His music is not a version of popular music packaged to attract classical listeners; it is high art for listeners steeped in rock rather than the classics.Questions 8of10The passage addresses which of the following i ssues related to Glass’s use of popular elements in his classical compositions?[Fill this bracket with ONE letter, such as “B”.]A.How it is regarded by listeners who prefer rock to the classicsB.How it has affected the commercial success of Glass’s musicC.Whether it has contributed to a revival of interest among other composersin usingpopular elements in their compositionsD.Whether it has had a detrimental effect on Glass’s reputati on as acomposer ofclassical musicE.Whether it has caused certain of Glass’s works to be derivative in quality Questions 9of10The passage suggests that Glass’s work displays which of the following qualities? [Fill this bracket with any letter, which you consider applied, such as “BC”.]A. A return to the use of popular music in classical compositionsB.An attempt to elevate rock music to an artistic status more closelyapproximatingthat of classical musicC. A long-standing tendency to incorporate elements from two apparentlydisparatemusical stylesQuestions 10of10Select the sentence that distinguishes two ways of integrating rock and classicalmusic.

The physicist Wallace Sabine pioneered the scientific study of architectural acoustics when he was asked in 1895 to fix a university lecture hall in which the echo of a speaker’s words rendered them unintelligible. He found that the length of time it takes a sound’s echo to decay is determined by the absorption of the sound’s original energy by surrounding material. By hanging panels of sound-absorbing felt on the walls, Sabinereduced the echo enough to make the hall usable. And the data he compiled yielded a mathematical formula for the relationship between a room’s echo duration, its quantity and quality of sound-absorbing materials, and its spatial volume. 7. Which of the following can be inferred about the ‘university lecture hall’mentioned in the passage? A. It was not originally designed to be used for lecture.B. It was more suitable for listening to music than for listening to the spoken word.C. Its walls had surfaces made of material with very poor sound-absorbing properties.D. Its poor acoustics resulted from its being designed to accommodate a large audience.E. It was constructed at a time when sound-absorbing building materials were not readily available.8. The passage suggests that Sabine’s work made which of the following possible for the first time? A. to make aroom soundproof B. to build an auditorium out of sound-absorbing materials C. to construct an enclosed space in which sound would not echo D. to design a building to meet predetermined specifications with regard to echo duration E. to render any large room usable for public lectures and performances Received feminist wisdom has conceived of history as a male enclave devoid of woman subjects and practitioners, particularly before the twentieth century. As Ann For Freedom put it in 1972, from Herodout’s to Will Durant’s histories, the main characters, the main viewpoints and interests, have all been male. Feminist accounts of the 1970s and 1980s viewed historiography (the writing of history) as overwhelmingly his, coining the term herstory and presenting it as a compensatory feminist practice. Herstorydesignated women’s place at the center of an alternative narrative of past events. Rosalind Miles’s description restates the popular view: Women’s history by contrast has only just begun to invent itself. Males gained entry to the business of recording, defining and interpreting events in the third millennium ; for women, this process did not even begin until the nineteenth century. The herstorical method provided a means for feminist historians to explore materials by and about women that had previously been neglected or ignored. Herstory promoted curricular transformation in schools and was used as a slogan on T-shirts, pencils, and buttons. Exposing historians tacit and intentional sexism, herstorians set out to correct the record–to show that women had held up half the historical sky. Despite the great scholarly gains made behind the rallying cry, herstory’s popularmyth–particularly about the lack of women who have recorded history–require revision. Herstory may accurately describe feminists efforts to construct female- centered accounts of the past, but the term inadvertently blinds us to women’s important contributions to historical discourse before the nineteenth century. Historiography has not been an entirely male preserve, though feminists are justified in faulting its long-standing masculine contours. In fact, criticism of historiography’s sexism is not of recent origin. Early eighteenth-century feminist Mary Astell protested that the Men being the Historians, they seldom condescend to record the great and good actions of Women. Astell, like those who echoed her sentiments two and a half centuries later, must be credited for admirable zeal in setting out to right scholarly wrongs, but her supposition that historians were onlymale is inaccurate. Her perception is especially strange because she herself wrote a historical work, An Impartial Enquiry into the Cause of Rebellion and Civil War (1704). Astell’s judgment is at the same time understandable, given that much historical writing by women of the late seventeenth century was not published until the nineteenth century. Despite their courage and their rightful anger, Astell and her descendants overlooked early modern woman writer’s contributions to historiography. 9. It can be inferred that Rosalind Miles refers to the third millennium primarily in order to A. present an overview of what the practice of history once entailed B. suggest that the origins of historical study are much earlier than had been previously though C. suggest why the third millennium has received so much attention from historians D. establish a contrast between men andwomen in terms of how long they have been recording history 10 It can be inferred from the passage that the term herstory 11. Mary Astell is discussed by the author as an example of an eighteenth-century feminist historian\A. who was representative of the intellectual interests of the woman historians of her time C. who shared with modern herstorian’s a mistaken assumption regarding the writing of history D. whose major work aroused much controversy at the time of its publication E. whose major work still has not received the attention from scholars that it deserves 12. The author implies which of the following about Astell’s supposition?A. It is likely to have arisen because of Astell’s unawareness of much of the historical work written by women.\B. It was one that Astell reconsidered after she wrote her own historical work.C. Itwas one that was not shared by other feminist historians of Astell’s time. D. It was one that inspired Astell to write her own historical work. E. It directly contradicts one of the basic claims of herstory.。
新GREOG第二版填空解析和考试新现象
新GREOG第二版填空解析和考试新现象1摘要：新GRE OG 第二版与第一版的区别是增加了T est-2部分，即仅仅增加了两个全新的Verbal Section 。
本文通过分析新版OG 中增加的填空题目，与《新GRE 核心考法词汇精析》中的单词的解释、同反义词作对比，发现填空题目的句子结构会出现反复重考的现象，即句子结构和意思与原来的考题几乎相同，比如test-2第一个section 的第3题；也发现了“熟词僻意”的现象，即熟悉的单词考察生僻的意思，比如compromise 并不是之前大部分人所熟悉的“妥协”的意思，而是“使危险”“损害”的意思。
最后，根据新题目给出填空与词汇的复习建议和备考策略。
自从ETS 在7月底出版新GRE OG 第二版以后，在电商的网站的都有销售，实体书店的销售要到8月份，在拿到新OG 的第二版后我们与第一版做了比较，发现只增加了Test2。

GRE新版OG新增填空题目全解析新版OG新增的Practice Test 2相比上一版中已经出现的Practice Test 1，就填空题而言，新版OG的题目在命题风格、考查思路、难度水平甚至考查词汇的范围上与第一版OG都无本质差异。
对比两版英文版OG的文本可以发现，新版OG在填空题部分的说明文字和旧版相比没有变化。
Test 1中的三空题难度偏高，思路偏复杂;Test 2的三空题相比Test 1更侧重考查词汇，解题思路略有简化，对中国考生而言难度有所降低。
其他的Text Completion和Sentence Equivalence题目则与Test 1类同。
综上，在目前OG第二版的书面版在国内并未出版的情况下，考生可参照第一版OG的考试说明文字进行备考，并利用第一版的练习题进行练习。
在ETS官方网站下载新版OG所附的PP 2.0模考软件新版，利用其中的两套题进行模拟考试。
这样的话考生仅有第二版OG中新增的一套书面题目无法获得，但由于其出题思路不变，所以备考思路不必有任何调整：就填空题部分而言，仍需要不断积累词汇量，提高阅读并巩固常识基础、在此基础上提高理解能力，并训练逻辑推理能力，以实力的提高而非技巧训练为主。
以下是OG第二版新增的书面Practice Test 2中全部25道填空题的解析和翻译。
题目翻译以意译为主，力求使读者能够理解句子的真实含义。

Fossil evidence indicates that the blompus—an extremely large, carnivorous land mammal—inhabited the continent of Pentagoria for tens of thousands of years until its sudden decline and ultimate extinction about twelve thousand years ago. Scientists have determined that the extinction coincided with a period of significant climate change and with the arrival of the first humans. Some scholars theorize that the climate change so altered the distribution of plants and animals பைடு நூலகம்n the environment that the food chain upon which the blompus depended was irretrievably disrupted. Others contend that predation by humans is the more plausible explanation for the rapid population decline. Write a response in which you discuss specific evidence that could be used to decide between the proposed explanations above.

SECTION 3: VERBAL REASONING
Questions 7 through 8 are based on the following reading passage. In 1798, economist Thomas Robert Malthus stated in his “Essay on the Principle of Population” that “population increases in a geometric ratio, while the means of subsistence increases in an arithmetic ratio.” However, Malthus’s dire prediction of a precipitous decline in the world’s population has not come to pass. The miscalculations in what has come to be known as the Malthus Doctrine are partly due to Malthus’s inability to foresee the innovations that allowed vast increases in worldwide wheat production. In the late nineteenth century, the invention of the tractor staved off a Malthusian disaster. While the first tractors were not particularly powerful, the replacement of animals by machinery meant that land that had been devoted to hay and oats could now be reclaimed for growth of crops for human consumption. Nevertheless, the Malthusian limit might still have been reached if crop yield had not been increased. A natural way to increase crop yield is to supply the soil with additional nitrogen. In 1909, chemist Fritz Haber succeeded in combining nitrogen and hydrogen to make ammonia, the white powder version of which, when added to the soil, improves wheat production. Haber nitrogen, however, was not widely used until later in the twentieth century, largely due to farmers’ resistance to spreading an unnatural substance on their crops. Haber’s invention had a further drawback: If applied in incorrect quantities, the wheat crop would grow taller and thicker, eventually toppling over and rotting. Interestingly, in the late twentieth century the discovery of genetic engineering, which provides a means of increasing rice and maize production, met with equal resistance, this time from the environmental movement. Even without direct genetic engineering, it is likely that science will discover new methods to improve agricultural production. 7 of 20 According to the passage, which is of the following is true about Haber nitrogen?
