There is a growing realization that the only effective way to achieve further reductions in vehicle emissions—short of a massive shift away from th e private automobile—is to replace conventional diesel fuel and gasoline with cleaner-burning fuels such as compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, ethanol, or methanol. All of these alternatives are carbon-based fuels whose molecules are smaller and simpler than those of gasoline. These molecules burn more cleanly than gasoline, in part because they ha ve fewer, if and, carbon-carbon bonds, and the hydrocarbons they do emit are less likely to g enerate ozone. The combustion of larger molecules, which have multiple carbon-carbon bond s, involves a more complex series of reactions. These reactions increase the probability of inc omplete combustion and are more likely to release uncombusted and photochemically active hydrocarbon compounds into the atmosphere. On the other hand, alternative fuels do have d rawbacks. Compressed natural gas would require that vehicles have a set of heavy fuel tanks —a serious liability in terms of performance and fuel efficiency—and liquefied petroleum gas f aces fundamental limits on supply. Ethanol and methanol, on the other hand, have important advantages over other carbon -based alternative fuels: they have a higher energy content per volume and would require mi nimal changes in the existing network for distributing motor fuel. Ethanol is commonly used a s a gasoline supplement, but it is currently about twice as expensive as methanol, the low cos t of which is one of its attractive features. Methanol’s most attractive feature, however, is tha t it can reduce by about 90 percent the vehicle emissions that form ozone, the most serious u rban air pollutant. Like any alternative fuel, methanol has its critics. Yet much of the criticism is based on th e use of “gasoline clone” vehicles that do not incorporate even the simplest design improvem ents that are made possible with the use of methanol. It is true, for example, that a given vol ume of methanol provides only about one-half of the energy that gasoline and diesel fuel do; other things being equal, the fuel tank would have to be somewhat larger and heavier. Howe ver, since methanol-fueled vehicles could be designed to be much more efficient than “gasoli ne clone” vehicles fueled with methanol, they would need comparatively less fuel. Vehicles in corporating only the simplest of the engine improvements that methanol makes feasible woul d still contribute to an immediate lessening of urban air pollution. 1.1. The author of the passage is primarily concerned with (A) countering a flawed argument that dismisses a possible solution to a problem (B) reconciling contradictory points of view about the nature of a problem (C) identifying the strengths of possible solutions to a problem Hao 附注 P153 9304-3-长 请加新浪微博 “高智威 Stanley” 北京新东方美加研究生留学直通车 GRE冲 315分班： http://souke.xdf.cn/Course/1-13785.html 3 (D) discussing a problem and arguing in favor of one solution to it (E) outlining a plan of action to solve a problem and discussing the obstacles blocking that pl an 1.2. According to the passage, incomplete combustion is more likely to occur with gasoline th an with an alternative fuel because (A) the combustion of gasoline releases photochemically active hydrocarbons (B) the combustion of gasoline involves an intricate series of reactions (C) gasoline molecules have a simple molecular structure (D) gasoline is composed of small molecules. (E) gasoline is a carbon-based fuel 1.3. The passage suggests which of the following about air pollution? (A) Further attempts to reduce emissions from gasoline-fueled vehicles will not help lower urb an air-pollution levels. (B) Attempts to reduce the pollutants that an individual gasoline-fueled vehicle emits have be en largely unsuccessful. (C) Few serious attempts have been made to reduce the amount of pollutants emitted by gas oline-fueled vehicles. (D) Pollutants emitted by gasoline-fueled vehicles are not the most critical source of urban air pollution. (E) Reductions in pollutants emitted by individual vehicles have been offset by increases in po llution from sources other than gasoline-fueled vehicles. 1.4. Which of the following most closely parallels the situation described in the first sentence of the passage? (A) Although a town reduces its public services in order to avoid a tax increase, the town’s ta x rate exceeds that of other towns in the surrounding area. (B) Although a state passes strict laws to limit the type of toxic material that can be disposed of in public landfills, illegal dumping continues to increase. (C) Although a town’s citizens reduce their individual use of water, the town’s water supplies continue to dwindle because of a steady increase in the total population of the town. (D) Although a country attempts to increase the sale of domestic goods by adding a tax to th e price of imported goods, the sale of imported goods within the country continues to increas e. (E) Although a country reduces the speed limit on its national highways, the number of fataliti es caused by automobile accidents continues to increase. 1.5. The author describes which of the following as the most appealing feature of methanol? (A) It is substantially less expensive than ethanol. (B) It could be provided to consumers through the existing motor fuel distribution system. (C) It has a higher energy content than other alternative fuels. (D) Its use would make design improvements in individual vehicles feasible. 请加新浪微博 “高智威 Stanley” 北京新东方美加研究生留学直通车 GRE冲 315分班： http://souke.xdf.cn/Course/1-13785.html 4 (E) Its use would substantially reduce ozone levels. 1.6. It can be inferred from the passage that a vehicle specifically designed to use methanol f or fuel would (A) be somewhat lighter in total body weight than a conventional vehicle fueled with gasoline (B) be more expensive to operate than a conventional vehicle fueled with gasoline (C) have a larger and more powerful engine than a conventional vehicle fueled with gasoline (D) have a larger and heavier fuel tank than a “gasoline clone” vehicle fueled with methanol (E) average more miles per gallon than a “gasoline clone” vehicle fueled with methanol 1.7. It can be inferred that the author of the passage most likely regards the criticism of meth anol in the last paragraph as (A) flawed because of the assumptions on which it is based (B) inapplicable because of an inconsistency in the critics’ arguments (C) misguided because of its exclusively technological focus (D) inaccurate because it ignores consumers’ concerns (E) invalid because it reflects the personal bias of the critics 答案 八年级地理上册填图题岩土工程勘察试题省略号的作用及举例应急救援安全知识车间5s试题及答案 ：DBACEEA 2. 长江水道 Since the 1970s, archaeological sites in China's Yangtze River region have yielded evidence of sophisticated rice-farming societies that predate signs of rice cultivation elsewhere in East Asia by a thousand years. Before this evidence was discovered, it had generally been assumed that rice farming began farther to the south. This scenario was based both on the geographic range of wild or free-living rice, which was not thought to extend as far north as the Yangtze, and on archaeological records of very early domestic rice from Southeast Asia and India (now known to be not so old as first reported). Proponents of the southern-origin theory point out that early rice-farming societies along the Yangtze were already highly developed and that evidence for the first stage of rice cultivation is missing. They argue that the first hunter-gatherers to develop rice agriculture must have done so in this southern zone, within the apparent present-day geographic range of wild rice. Yet while most stands of wild rice reported in a 1984 survey were concentrated to the south of the Yangtze drainage, two northern outlier populations were also discovered in provinces along the middle and lower Yangtze, evidence that the Yangtze wetlands may fall within both the present-day and the historical geographic ranges of rice's wild ancestor. 2.1. Which of the following, if true, would most clearly undermine the conclusion that the author makes based on the 1984 survey? A. Areas south of the Yangtze basin currently have less wild-rice habitat than they once did. 请加新浪微博 “高智威 Stanley” 北京新东方美加研究生留学直通车 GRE冲 315分班： http://souke.xdf.cn/Course/1-13785.html 5 B. Surveys since 1984 have shown wild rice populations along the upper Yangtze as well as along the middle and lower Yangtze. C. The populations of wild rice along the Yangtze represent strains of wild rice that migrated to the north relatively recently. D. Early rice-farming societies along the Yangtze were not as highly developed as archaeologists once thought. E. In East Asia, the historical geographic range of wild rice was more extensive than the present-day geographic range is. 2.2. Based on the passage, skeptics of the idea that rice cultivation began in the Yangtze River region can point to which of the following for support? A. Lack of evidence supporting the existence of rice-farming societies along the Yangtze at an early date B. Lack of evidence regarding the initial stages of rice cultivation in the Yangtze region C. Recent discoveries pertaining to the historical geographic range of rice's wild ancestor D. New information regarding the dates of very early domestic rice from Southeast Asia E. New theories pertaining to how hunter-gatherers first developed rice agriculture in East Asia 2. 3. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the “southern-origin theory”? A. The theory is based on an unconventional understanding of how hunter-gatherers first developed rice agriculture. B. The theory fails to take into account the apparent fact that evidence for the first stage of rice cultivation in the north is missing. C. The theory was developed primarily in response to a 1984 survey of wild rice's geographic range. D. Reassessment of the dates of some archaeological evidence has undermined support for the theory. E. Evidence of sophisticated rice-farming societies in the Yangtze region provides support for the theory. 答案：CBD 3. The Color Purple The publication of The Color Purple transformed Alice Walker from an indu- bitably serious black writer whose fiction belonged to a tradition of gritty, if occasionally "magical," realism into a popular novelist, with all the perquisites and drawbacks attendant on that position. Unlike either The Third Life of Grange Copland (1970) or Meridian (1976), The Color Purple gained imme- diate and widespread public acceptance, winning both the Pulitzer Prize and the American Book Award for 1982-83. At the same time, however, it generated immediate and widespread critical unease over what appeared to be manifest flaws in its composition. Robert Towers, writing in the New York Review of Books, concluded that on the evidence of The Color Purple "Alice Walker still has a lot to learn about plotting and structuring what is clearly 请加新浪微博 “高智威 Stanley” 北京新东方美加研究生留学直通车 GRE冲 315分班： http://souke.xdf.cn/Course/1-13785.html 6 intended to be a realistic novel." His opinion was shared by many reviewers, who pointed out variously that in the last third of the book the narrator-protagonist Celie and her friends are propelled toward a fairytale happy ending with more velocity than credibility; that the letters from Nettie, with their disconcertingly literate depictions of life in an African village, intrude into the middle of the main action with little apparent motivation or warrant; and that the device of the letters to God is especially unrealistic inasmuch as it foregoes the concretizing details that traditionally have given the epistolatory form its peculiar verisimilitude: the secret writing-place, the cache, the ruses to enable posting letters, and especially the letters received in return. 4. 英国女演员 Actress的地位： In the past, only men could become actors in some societies. In the ancient Greece and Rome and the medieval world, it was considered disgraceful for a woman to go on the stage, and this belief persisted until the 17th century, when in Venice it was broken. In the time of William Shakespeare, women's roles were generally played by men or boys. When an eighteen-year Puritan prohibition of drama was lifted after the English Restoration of 1660, women began to appear on stage in England. Margaret Hughes is credited by some as the first professional actress on the English stage. This prohibition ended during the reign of Charles II in part due to the fact that he enjoyed watching actresses on stage. The first occurrence of the term actress was in 1700 according to the OED and is ascribed to Dryden. In Japan, men (onnagata) took over the female roles in kabuki theatre when women were banned from performing on stage during the Edo period. This convention has continued to the present. However, some forms of Chinese drama have women playing all the roles. In modern times, women sometimes play the roles of prepubescent boys. The stage role of Peter Pan, for example, is traditionally played by a woman, as are most principal boys in Britishpantomime. Opera has several "breeches roles" traditionally sung by women, usually mezzo-sopranos. Examples are Hansel in Hänsel und Gretel, Cherubino in The Marriage of Figaro and Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier. Women in male roles are uncommon in film with the notable exceptions of the films The Year of Living Dangerously and I'm Not There. In the former film Linda Hunt played the pivotal role of Billy Kwan, for which she received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. In the latter film Cate Blanchett portrayed Jude Quinn, a representation of Bob Dylan in the sixties, for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Women playing men in live theatre is particularly common in presentations of older plays, such as those of Shakespeare, that have large numbers of male characters in roles where the gender no longer matters in modern times. Having an actor dress as the opposite sex for comic effect is also a long-standing tradition in comic theatre and film. Most of Shakespeare's comedies include instances of overt cross-dressing, such as Francis Flute in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Tony Curtisand Jack Lemmon famously posed as women to escape gangsters in the Billy Wilder film Some Like It Hot. Cross-dressing for comic effect was a frequently used device in most of the thirty Carry On films. Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams have each appeared in a hit comedy film (Tootsie and Mrs. Doubtfire, respectively) in which they played most scenes dressed as a woman. Occasionally, the issue is further complicated, for example, by a woman playing a woman acting as a man pretending to be a woman, like Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria, or Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare in Love. In It's Pat: The Movie, film watchers never learn the gender of the androgynous main characters Pat and Chris (played by Julia Sweeney and Dave Foley). A few roles in modern films, plays and musicals are played by a member of the opposite sex (rather than a character cross-dressing), such as the character Edna Turnblad in Hairspray—played by Divine in the original film, Harvey Fierstein in the Broadway musical, and John Travolta in the 2007 movie musical. Linda Hunt won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for playing Billy Kwan in T
