5、ly conductive concrete (ECC) rather than standard concrete. In the winter, ECC can be heated by passing an electric current through it, thereby preventing ice buildup. The cost of the electricity needed is substantially lower than the cost of the de-icing salt we currently use.Taxpayer: But construc

6、tion costs for ECC are much higher than for standard concrete, so your proposal is probably not justifiable on economic grounds.Which of the following, if true, could best be used to support the highway officials proposal in the face of the taxpayers objection? The use of de-icing salt causes corros

7、ion of the reinforcing steel in concrete bridge decks and damage to the concrete itself, thereby considerably shortening the useful life of concrete bridges. Severe icing conditions can cause power outages and slow down the work of emergency crews trying to get power restored. In weather conditions

8、conducive to icing, ice generally forms on the concrete surfaces of bridges well before it forms on parts of the roadway that go over solid ground. Aside from its potential use for de-icing bridges, ECC might also be an effective means of keeping other concrete structures such as parking garages and

9、 airport runways ice free. If ECC were to be used for a bridge surface, the electric current would be turned on only at times at which ice was likely to form. Q4Which of the following most logically completes the passage?Appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix) is potentially fatal; consequently,

10、 patients with symptoms strongly suggesting appendicitis almost always have their appendix removed. The appropriate surgery is low-risk but performed unnecessarily in about 20 percent of all cases. A newly developed internal scan for appendicitis is highly accurate, producing two misdiagnoses for ev

11、ery 98 correct diagnoses. Clearly, using this test, doctors can largely avoid unnecessary removals of the appendix without, however, performing any fewer necessary ones than before, since _. the patients who are correctly diagnosed with this test as not having appendicitis invariably have medical co

12、nditions that are much less serious than appendicitis the misdiagnoses produced by this test are always instances of attributing appendicitis to someone who does not, in fact, have it all of the patients who are diagnosed with this test as having appendicitis do, in fact, have appendicitis every pat

13、ient who is diagnosed with this test as having appendicitis has more than one of the symptoms generally associated with appendicitis the only patients who are misdiagnosed using this test are patients who lack one or more of the symptoms that are generally associated with appendicitis Q5There are no

14、 legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing. There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contribute

15、s to their depletion through overfishing. There are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught, unlike cod or haddock, a circumstance that contributes to depleting them because they are being overfished. There are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, but no

16、t for monkfish, which contributes to its depletion through overfishing. Unlike cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, which contributes to its depletion by being overfished. Unlike catching cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, contribut

17、ing to their depletion because they are overfished. Q6Heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved from the previous year, only look less appetizing than their round and red supermarket cousins, often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises, but are more flavorful. cousins, often green a

19、d bruises, although cousins; they are often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises, but they are Q7Q9 Seventeenth-century philosopher John Locke stated that as much asLine99 percent of the value of (5)any useful product can be attributed to the effects of labor. For Lockes intellec-

20、tual heirs it was only a short step to the labor theory of(10)value, whose formulators held that 100 percent of the value of any product is gen- erated by labor (the human work needed to produce(15)goods) and that therefore the employer who appropriates any part of the products value as profit is pr

21、acticing theft.(20) Although human effort is required to produce goods for the consumer market, effort is also invested in making capital goods (tools,(25) machines, etc.), which are used to facilitate the produc- tion of consumer goods. In modern economies about one-third of the total output of(30)

22、 consumer goods is attribut- able to the use of capital goods. Approximately two- thirds of the income derived from this total output is paid(35) out to workers as wages and salaries, the remaining third serving as compensation to the owners of the capital goods. Moreover, part(40)of this remaining

23、third is received by workers who are shareholders, pension beneficiaries, and the like. The labor theory of value(45) systematically disregards the productive contribution of capital goodsa failing for which Locke must bear part of the blame.Q7According to the author of the passage, which of the fol

24、lowing is true of the distribution of the income derived from the total output of consumer goods in a modern economy? Workers receive a share of this income that is significantly smaller than the value of their labor as a contribution to total output. Owners of capital goods receive a share of this

25、income that is significantly greater than the contribution to total output attributable to the use of capital goods. Owners of capital goods receive a share of this income that is no greater than the proportion of total output attributable to the use of capital goods. Owners of capital goods are not

26、 fully compensated for their investment because they pay out most of their share of this income to workers as wages and benefits. Workers receive a share of this income that is greater than the value of their labor because the labor theory of value overestimates their contribution to total output. Q

27、8The author of the passage is primarily concerned with criticizing Lockes economic theories discounting the contribution of labor in a modern economy questioning the validity of the labor theory of value arguing for a more equitable distribution of business profits contending that employers are over

28、compensated for capital goods Q9Which of the following arguments would a proponent of the labor theory of value, as it is presented in the first paragraph, be most likely to use in response to the statement that The labor theory of value systematically disregards the productive contribution of capit

29、al goods (lines 44-47)? The productive contributions of workers and capital goods cannot be compared because the productive life span of capital goods is longer than that of workers. The authors analysis of the distribution of income is misleading because only a small percentage of workers are also

30、shareholders. Capital goods are valuable only insofar as they contribute directly to the production of consumer goods. The productive contribution of capital goods must be discounted because capital goods require maintenance. The productive contribution of capital goods must be attributed to labor because capital goods are themselves products of labor. Q10Researchers in Germany have unearthed 400,000-year-old wooden spears from what it appears was an ancient lakeshore hunting ground as stunning evidence of human ancestors who systematically hunted big game much earlier than believed.
