they are also aligned from the east toward the northwest, with the most recent volcanic activity near their eastern terminuses.That the Pacific plate and the other plates are moving is now beyond dispute。 also: a place in the crust overlying a hot spot). Unlike most volcanoes, hot spots are rarely found along the boundaries of the continental and oceanic plates that prise the Earth’s crust。 together, these processes constitute the major parts of the carbon cycle. For the smooth operation of this cycle, degradation is just as important as synthesis: the green plants produce great quantities of polymers, such as cellulose, and innumerable other pounds like alkaloids, terpenes, and flavonoids, that green plants cannot use as sources of energy during respiration. The release of the carbon in these pounds for recycling depends almost entirely on the action of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and certain types of fungi. Some bacteria and fungi possess the unique and extremely important biochemical asset of being able to catalyze the oxidation of numerous inert products, thereby initiating reaction sequences that produce carbon dioxide and so return much carbon to a form that actively enters into life cycles once again.25. The passage contains information that would answer which of the following questions about the carbon cycle?I. What are some of the pounds that are broken down in the carbon cycle?II. Why are some pounds that are involved in the carbon cycle less reactive than others?III. What role do bacteria and fungi play in the carbon cycle?(A) I only(B) II only(C) III only(D) I and II only(E)(E) I and III only26. The author implies that which of the following is the primary reason that degradation is as important as synthesis to the smooth operation of the carbon cycle?(A) Most of the polymers and organic pounds found in the plant kingdom are chemically unstable.(B) The synthesis of some organic material deprives life processes of an energy source.(C) Deposition permits the recycling of carbon that would otherwise be fixed in certain substances.(D) Many organisms cannot use plants as a source of food, but can feed on bacteria and fungi.(C)(E) Bacteria and fungi could not survive if some carbon pounds were not degraded.27. The author’s contention about the importance of bacteria and fungi in the production of energy for life processes would be most clearly strengthened if which of the following were found to be true?(A) Both aerobes and anaerobes provide sources of energy through the deposition of organic material.(B) Most pounds containing carbon are unavailable as energy sources except to some bacteria and fungi.(C) Bacteria and fungi break down inert material in ways that do not involve oxidation.(D) Many pounds remain inert, even in the presence of bacteria and fungi.(B)(E) Bacteria and fungi assist in the synthesis of many organic pounds.No. 22SECTION AEven as the number of females processed through juvenile courts climbs steadily, an implicit consensus remains among scholars in criminal justice that male adolescents define the delinquency problem in the United States. We suggest two reasons why this view persists. First, female adolescents are accused primarily of victimless crimes, such as truancy, that do not involve clearcut damage to persons or property. If mitted by adults, these actions are not even considered prosecutable。 a new meaning(B) Pointedly refusing to define key terms(C) Alternately presenting generalities and concrete details(D) Concluding the passage with a restatement of the first point made in the passage(E)(E) Juxtaposing statements of what is not the case and statements of what is the caseThe energy contained in rock within the earth’s crust represents a nearly unlimited energy source, but until recently mercial retrieval has been limited to underground hot water and/or steam recovery systems. These systems have been developed in areas of recent volcanic activity, where high rates of heat flow cause visible eruption of water in the form of (in the form of: 以...的形式) geysers and hot springs. In other areas, however, hot rock also exists near the surface but there is insufficient water present to produce eruptive phenomena. Thus a potential hot dry rock (HDR) reservoir exists whenever the amount of spontaneously produced geothermal fluid has been judged inadequate for existing mercial systems.As a result of recent energy crisis, new concepts for creating HDR recovery systems—which involve drilling holes and connecting them to artificial reservoirs placed deep within the crust—are being developed. In all attempts to retrieve energy from HDR’s, artificial stimulation will be required to create either sufficient permeability or bounded flow paths to facilitate the removal of heat by circulation of a fluid over the surface of the rock.The HDR resource base is generally defined to included crustal rock that is hotter than 150℃, is at depths less than ten kilometers, and can be drilled with presently available equipment. Although wells deeper than ten kilometers are technically feasible, prevailing economic factors will obviously determine the mercial feasibility of wells at such depths. Rock temperatures as low as 100℃ may be useful for space heating (heating of spaces especially for human fort by any means (as fuel, electricity, or solar radiation) with the heater either within the space or external to it)。這些都有待于將來(lái)修正與完善。在電腦上做題吧,如果你的WORD用的比較熟練,再在你的電腦上裝幾本電子詞典,你會(huì)感到效率倍增,妙趣無(wú)窮?。?;另外,由于WORD軟件本身的缺陷,格式上可能未必有“GMATamp。但因?yàn)槲視r(shí)間緊,沒(méi)有做完(對(duì)于沒(méi)有超鏈接的題目,做題時(shí)可以用“查找”命令搜索。少數(shù)難題加注了我個(gè)人的看法(一律被隱藏),未必正確,僅供參考。GRE的難度突出表現(xiàn)在語(yǔ)言文字的艱深和意思的晦澀,而LSAT題對(duì)邏輯思維的要求很高,GMAT文字上的難度不如GRE,邏輯上次于LSAT(個(gè)人觀點(diǎn))。見(jiàn)下圖:做題時(shí)請(qǐng)切換至“普通”視圖,因?yàn)轱@示答案時(shí)頁(yè)面變化??;在“頁(yè)面”視圖下,可以欣賞到以當(dāng)今世界一流技術(shù)精心打造的一流風(fēng)姿!本文件包括所有的GMAT閱讀、GRE全部No題和99年之前全部國(guó)內(nèi)題的閱讀以及(28+1)套LSAT閱讀,共計(jì)2772題,是無(wú)比寶貴的學(xué)習(xí)材料(也是饋贈(zèng)親友的最珍貴禮物,并值得永久收藏)。 Table of Content D使用說(shuō)明 1GRE閱讀(No. 2—No. 9) 2No. 21 2SECTION A 2SECTION B 5No.
