5、 road fell 15 percent from the previous level. They concluded that applying the daytime rule statewide would lead to a similar reduction in accidents.Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the authorities argument?A.Because an alternate route became available, the volume of traffic on the
6、 test road decreased during the test period.B.Drivers were informed of the requirement to use their headlights on the test road by means of a series of three conspicuous signs in each direction of travel.C.Under certain conditions, among them fog and heavy rain, most drivers in California already us
7、e their headlights during the daytime.D.Full-scale application of the daytime rule would cause headlight bulbs to burn out sooner than they currently do and thus to require more frequent replacement.E.(E) The test road was selected to include a great variety of the sorts of road conditions that driv
8、ers in California are likely to encounter.3.Most of Earths surface is ocean. The ocean floor is inaccessible for extensive research without equipment of greater technological sophistication than is currently available. It must therefore be true that scientists know less about the ocean floor environ
9、ment than about almost any other environment on Earth.Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the conclusion?A.Many mountain ranges lie entirely beneath the ocean surface, yet new underwater surveying equipment has produced three-dimensional charts of them that are as accurate
10、 as those available for mountain ranges on land.B.Strong water currents circulate on the ocean floor, but the general pattern of their movement is not so well understood as is the pattern of air currents that circulate over land.C.In contrast to most land environments, temperature conditions at the
11、ocean floor are generally stable and uniform, since sunlight does not penetrate far below the ocean surface.D.Very few people have seen detailed maps of extended regions of the ocean floor, even though such maps are available in almost all large libraries.E.(E) Animals living on the ocean floor must
12、 be able to withstand water pressure that is far greater than the atmospheric pressure with which land animals live.4.Hastings contracture is a disorder of the connective tissue in one or both hands, most commonly causing loss of mobility. A survey of thousands of medical-insurance claims found that
13、 over 30 percent of people who had one hand operated on for Hastings contracture underwent surgery a second time for this disorder within three years. Clearly, therefore, a single surgical treatment of Hastings contracture is often ineffective at providing long-term correction of the disorder.Which
14、of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?A.The medical-insurance claims did not specify whether the surgery was on the patients right or left hand.B.The surgical techniques used to treat Hastings contracture are identical to those used successfully to treat certain work-related
15、 injuries to the hand.C.A separate survey found that 90 percent of patients operated on for Hastings contracture report increased hand mobility within one month after the surgery.D.All of the patients in the survey were required by their insurance companies to seek a second opinion from a qualified
16、surgeon before undergoing the operation.E.(E) Many people who have Hastings contracture choose to tolerate its effects rather than undergo the risks of surgery.5.When cut, the synthetic material fiberglass, like asbestos, releases microscopic fibers into the air. It is known that people who inhale asbestos fib
