1. The ice on the front windshield of the car had formed when moisture condensed during the night. The ice melted quickly after the car was warmed up the next morning because the defrosting vent, which blows only on the front windshield, was turned on full force.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously jeopardizes the validity of the explanation for the speed with which the ice melted?
A) The side windows had no ice condensation on them

3. Over the past fifteen years, the largely urbanized Northeastern United States has shown more and more the influence of the Southwestern portion of the county. Once, very few people in New York City could be found sorting cowboy boots and Stetson hats, and no major radio station boasted twenty-four-hour-a-day programming of country and western music.

D) Tex-Mex dishes are an element of the regional cuisine of the Southwestern states.

4. Popular culture in the United States has become Europeanized to an extent unimaginable twenty-five years ago. Not many people then drank wine with meals, and no one drank important mineral water.

Such thoughts arise because of a report that the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials has just adopted a proposal to develop the country’s first comprehensive interstate system of routes for bicycles.

A) Long-distance bicycle routes are used in Europe.
B) Drinking imported mineral water is a greater luxury than drinking imported wine.
C) United States culture has benefited from exposure to foreign ideas.
D) Most Europeans make regular use of bicycles.

5. “On the whole,” Ms. Winson remarked, “engineering students are lazier now than they used to be. I know because fewer and fewer of my students regularly do the work they are assigned.”
The conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following assumptions?
A) Engineering students are working less because, in a booming market, they are spending more and more time investigating different job opportunities.
B) Whether or not students do the work they are assigned is a good indication of how lazy they are.
C) Engineering students should work harder than students in less demanding fields.
D) Ms. Winson’s students are doing less work because Ms. Winson is not as effective a teacher as she once was.
E) Laziness is something most people do not outgrow.
6. The average life expectancy for the United States population as a whole is 73.9 years, but children born in Hawaii will live an average of 77 years, and those born in Louisiana, 71.7 years. If a newlywed couple from Louisiana were to begin their family in Hawaii, therefore, their children would be expected to live longer than would be the case if the family remained in Louisiana.
Which of the following statement, if true, would most significantly strengthen the conclusion drawn in the passage?
A) As population density increases in Hawaii, life Expectancy figures for that state are likely to be revised downward.
B) Environmental factors tending to favor longevity are abundant in Hawaii and less numerous in Louisiana.
C) Twenty-five percent of all Louisianaians who move to Hawaii live longer than 77 years.
D) Over the last decade, average life expectancy has risen at a higher rate for Louisianaians than for Hawaiians.
E) Studies show that average life expectancy for Hawaiians who move permanently to Louisiana is roughly equal to that of Hawaiians who remain in Hawaii.
7. A conservation group in the United States is trying to change the long-standing image of bats as frightening creatures. The group contends that bats are feared and persecuted solely because they are shy animals that are active only at night.
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most serious doubt on the accuracy of the group’s contention?
A) Bats are steadily losing natural roosting places such as caves and hollow trees and are thus turning to more developed areas for roosting.
B) Bats are the chief consumers of nocturnal insects and thus can help make their hunting territory more pleasant for humans.
C) Bats are regarded as frightening creatures not only in the United States but also in Europe, Africa, and South America.
D) Raccoons and owls are shy and active only at night; yet they are not generally feared and persecuted.
E) People know more about the behavior of other greatly feared animal species, such as lions, alligators, and snakes, than they do about the behavior of bats.
8. In the aftermath of a worldwide stock-market crash, Country T claimed that the severity of the stock-market crash it experienced resulted from the accelerated process of denationalization many of its industries underwent shortly before the crash.
Which of the following, if it could be carried out, would be most useful in an evaluation of Country T’s assessment of the causes of the severity of its stock-market crash?
A) Calculating the average loss experienced by individual traders in Country T during the crash.
B) Using economic theory to predict the most likely date of the next crash in Country T.
C) Comparing the total number of shares sold during the worst days of the crash in Country T to the total number of shares sold in Country T just prior to the crash.
D) Comparing the severity of the crash in Country T to the severity of the crash in countries otherwise economically similar to Country T that have not experienced recent denationalization.
E) Comparing the long-term effects of the crash on the purchasing power of the currency of Country T to the immediate, more severe short-term effects of the crash on the purchasing power of the currency of Country T.
9. Increase in the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the human bloodstream lower bloodstream-cholesterol levels by increasing the body’s capacity to rid itself of excess cholesterol. Levels of HDL in the bloodstream of some individuals are significantly increased by a program of regular exercise and weight reduction.
Which of the following can be correctly inferred from the statement above?
A) Individuals who are underweight do not run any risk of developing high levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream.
B) Individuals who do not exercise regularly have a high risk of developing high levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream late in life.
C) Exercise and weight reduction are the most effective methods of lowering bloodstream cholesterol levels in humans.
D) A program of regular exercise and weight reduction lowers cholesterol levels in the bloodstream of some individuals.
E) Only regular exercise is necessary to decrease cholesterol level in the bloodstream of individuals of average weight.
10. Meteorite explosions in the Earth’s atmosphere as large as the one that destroyed forests in Siberia, with approximately the force of a twelve-megaton nuclear blast, occur about once a century. The response of highly automated systems controlled by complex computer programs to unexpected circumstances is unpredictable.
Which of the following conclusions can most properly be drawn, if the statements above are true, about a highly automated nuclear-missile defense system controlled by a complex computer program?
A) Within a century after its construction, the system would react inappropriately and might accidentally start a nuclear war.
B) The system would be destroyed if [1] [2] 下一页 |
