Editorialist: Drivers with a large number of demerit points who additionally have been convicted of a serious driving-relative offense should either be sentenced to jail or be forced to receive driver reeducation, since to do otherwise would be to allow a crime to

2、go unpunished. Only if such drivers are likely to be made more responsible drivers should driver re-education be recommended for them. Unfortunately, it is always almost impossible to make drivers with a large number of demerit points more responsible drivers.If the editorialists statements are true

3、, they provide the most support for which one of the following?(A) Drivers with a large number of demerit points who have been convicted of a serious driving-related offense should be sent to jail.(B) Driver re-education offers the best chance of making drivers with a large number of demerit points

4、responsible drivers.(C) Driver re-education is not a harsh enough punishment for anyone convicted of a serious driving-related offense who has also(D) Driver re-education should not be recommended for those who have committed no serious(E) Drivers with a larger number of demerit points but no convic

5、tion for a serious driving-related offense should receive driver re-education rather than jail38. Amphibian populations are declining in numbers worldwide. Not coincidentally, the earths ozone layer has been continuously depleted throughout the last 50 years. Atmospheric ozone blocks UV-B, a type of

6、 ultraviolet radiation that is continuously produced by the sun, and which can damage genes. Because amphibians lack hair, hide, or feathers to shield them, they are particularly vulnerable to UV-B radiation. In addition, their gelatinous eggs lack the protection of leathery or hard shells. Thus, th

7、e primary cause of the declining amphibian population is the depletion of the ozone layer.Each of the following, if true, would strengthen the argument EXCEPT:(A) Of the various types of radiation blocked by atmospheric ozone, UV-B is the only type that can damage genes.(B) Amphibian populations are

8、 declining far more rapidly than are the populations of nonamphibian species whose tissues and eggs have more natural protection from UV-B.(C) Atmospheric ozone has been significantly depleted above all the areas of the world in which amphibian populations are declining.(D) The natural habitat of am

9、phibians has not become smaller over the past century.(E) Amphibian populations have declined continuously for the last 50 years.39. Quasars-celestial objects so far away that their light takes at least 500 million years to reach Earth-have been seen since 1963. For anything that far away to appear

10、from Earth the way quasars do, it would have to burn steadily at a rate that produces more light than 90 billion suns would produce. But nothing that burns at a rate that produces that much light could exist for more than about 100 million years.If the statements above are true, which one of the fol

11、lowing must also be true on the basis of them?(A) Instruments in use before 1963 were not sensitive enough to permit quasars to be seen.(B) Light from quasars first began reaching Earth in 1963.(C) Anything that from Earth appears as bright as a quasar does must produce more light than would be prod

12、uced by 90 billion suns.(D) Nothing that is as far from Earth as quasars are can continue to exist for more than about 100 million years.(E) No quasar that has ever been seen from Earth exists any longer.40. More and more computer programs that provide solutions to mathematical problems in engineeri

13、ng are being produced, and it is thus increasingly unnecessary for practicing engineers to have thorough understanding of fundamental mathematical principles. Consequently, in training engineers who will work in industry, less emphasis should be placed on mathematical principles, so that space in th

14、e engineering curriculum will be available for other important subjects.Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument given for the recommendation above?(A) The effective use of computer program that provide solutions to mathematical problems in engineering requires an und

15、erstanding of mathematical principles.(B) Many of the computer programs that provide solutions to mathematical problems in engineering are already in routine use.(C) Development of composites and other such new materials has meant that the curriculum for engineers who will work in industry must allo

16、w time for teaching the properties of these materials.(D) Most of the computer programs that provide solutions to mathematical problems in engineering can be run on the types of computers available to most engineering firms.(E) The engineering curriculum already requires that engineering students be

17、 familiar with and able to use a variety of computer programs.41. Raymond Burr played the role of lawyer Perry Mason on television. Burrs death in 1993 prompted a prominent lawyer to say Although not a lawyer, Mr. Burr strove for such authenticity that we feel as if we lost one of our own. This comm

18、ent from a prestigious attorney provides appalling evidence that, in the face of television, even some legal professionals are losing their ability to distinguish fiction from reality.The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument(A) takes the views of one lawyer to represent the views

19、 of all lawyers(B) criticizes the lawyer rather than the lawyers statement(C) presumes that the lawyer is qualified to evaluate the perFORMance of an actor(D) focuses on a famous actors portrayal of a lawyer rather than on the usual way in which lawyers are portrayed on television(E) ignores the par

20、t of the lawyers remark that indicates an awareness of the difference between reality and fiction42. For next year, the Chefs Union has requested a 10 percent salary increase for each of its members, whereas the Hotel Managers Union has requested only an 8 percent salary increase for each of its mem

21、bers. These facts demonstrate that the average dollar amount of the raises that the Chefs Union has requested for next year is greater than that of the raises requested by the Hotel Managers Union.Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?(A) The Chefs Union has many more me

22、mbers than does the Hotel Managers Union.(B) The Chefs Union is a more powerful union than is the Hotel Managers Union and is therefore more likely to obtain the salary increases it requests(C) The current salaries of the members of the Chefs Union are, on average, higher than the current salaries o

23、f the members of the Hotel Managers Union(D) The average dollar amount of the raises that the members of the Chefs Union received last ear was equal to the average dollar amount of the raises that the members of the Hotel Managers Union received(E) The members of the Chefs Union received salary incr

24、eases of 10 percent in each of the last two years, while the members of the Hotel Managers Union received salary increases of only 8 percent in each of the last two years43. Zoos have served both as educational resources and as entertainment. Unfortunately, removing animals from their natural habita

25、ts to stock the earliest zoos reduced certain species populations, endangering their survival. Today most new zoo animals are obtained from captive breeding programs, and many zoos now maintain breeding stocks for continued propagation of various species. This makes possible efforts to reestablish e

26、ndangered species in the wild.Which one of the following statements is most strongly supported by the inFORMation above?(A) Zoos have played an essential role in educating the public about endangered species.(B) Some specimens of endangered species are born and bred in zoos.(C) No zoos exploit wild

27、animals or endanger the survival of species.(D) Nearly all of the animals in zoos today were born in captivity.(E) The main purpose of zoos has shifted from entertainment to education.44. Legal theorist: It is unreasonable to incarcerate anyone for any other reason than that he or she is a serious t

28、hreat to the property or lives of other people. The breaking of a law does not justify incarceration, for lawbreaking proceeds either from ignorance of the law or of the effects of ones actions, or from the free choice of the lawbreaker. Obviously mere ignorance cannot justify incarcerating a lawbre

29、aker, and even free choice on the part of the lawbreaker fails to justify incarceration, for free choice proceeds from the desires of an agent, and the desires of an agent are products of genetics and environmental conditioning, neither of which is controlled by the agentThe claim in the first sente

30、nce of the passage plays which one of the following roles in the argument(A) It is offered as a premise that helps to show that no actions are under the control of the agent(B) It is offered as background inFORMation necessary to understand the argument(C) It is offered as the main conclusion that t

31、he argument is designed to establish(D) It is offered as evidence for the stated claim that protection of life and property is more important than retribution for past illegal acts(E) It is offered as evidence for the stated claim that lawbreaking proceeds from either ignorance of the law, or ignora

32、nce of the effects of ones actions, or free choice45. Commissioner: Budget forecasters project a revenue shortfall of a billion dollars in the coming fiscal year. Since there is no feasible way to increase the available funds, our only choice is to decrease expenditures. The plan before you outlines feasible cuts that would yield savings of a billion dollars over the coming fiscal year. We will be able to solve the probl
