26、to arrive at work on time E.People who buy lottery tickets want the economic freedom that winning the lottery would bring解析：解析 许多人本题出错的原因主要在于没有把问题目的的意思理解明白。本题让我们去寻求一个选项在不削弱政治家的论断的前提下替代人们过量饮酒的典故。(D)说明一个人在工作日的早晨在床上多呆几分钟，就是希望必然是不得不匆匆忙忙按时上班，这个推理荒谬之极，与上面段落中“在晚间宴会上饮用酒精过多的人就是希望第二天早上头痛”思路一样，因此(D)正确。2.In sev
27、eral nineteenth-century paintings the marble buildings of the Acropolis in Athens are portrayed as being reddish, but the buildings do not now appear reddish. The marble“s natural color cannot have changed since the nineteenth century, so the paintings must not be showing the color of the buildings

30、large container is filled with red, yellow, green and blue beads worth, respectively, 7, 5, 3, and 2 points each. A number of beads are then removed from the container. If the product of the point values of the removed beads is 147,000, how many red beads were removed?（分数：5.00）A.5B.4C.3D.2 E.0解析：解析
31、做对该题的关键在对题意的正确理解。根据题意可知，只要 147,000能被红色珠子的点值7除尽，则移出的珠子中一定有红色珠子，且 147,000能被 7整除多少次，移出的珠子中就有多少个红色的珠子。因此考生只需把 147,000分解成 7，5，3 和 2相乘的形式就可以了： 147000=7 2 5 3 3 1 2 3 因此移出的珠子中红色、黄色、绿色和蓝色珠子分别为 2.3，1 和 3个。4.The pages of a report are numbered consecutively from 1 to 10. If the sum of the page numbers up to an
32、d including page number z of the report is equal to one more than the sum of the page numbers following page number x, then x=（分数：5.00）A.4B.5C.6D.7 E.8解析：解析 设前 x页的和为 m，则 x页之后的几页的和等于 m-1，根据题意可得： 2m-1=1+2+3+10=55 m=28 由此考生可推出 x=7。 考生也可用等差数列前 n项的求和公式 5.The workers at Bell Manufacturing will shortly go
33、on strike unless the management increases their wages. As Bell“s president is well aware, however, in order to increase the workers“ wages, Bell would have to sell off some of its subsidiaries. So, some of Bell“s subsidiaries will be sold. The conclusion above is properly drawn if which one of the f
34、ollowing is assumed?（分数：5.00）A.Bell Manufacturing will begin to suffer increased lossesB.Bell“s management will refuse to increase its workers“ wagesC.The workers at Bell Manufacturing will not be going on strike D.Bell“s president has the authority to offer the workers their desired wage increaseE.
35、Bell“s workers will not accept a package of improved benefits in place of their desired wage increase解析：解析 本题的结论是 Bell的某些子公司将会被出售，该结论是给工人涨工资的必要条件，而给工人涨工资又是工人不举行罢工的必要条件，因此 Bell的某些子公司将被出售是工人不举行罢工的必要条件，也即工人不举行罢工，那么必要条件“Bell 的某些子公司被出售”必定发生，由此分析可知(C)是正确答案。其余四个选项既不能推出结论，也不能从结论中推出，都是错误选项。6.In a mayoral ele

41、hort-term effects of the crash on the purchasing power of the currency of Country T解析：解析 (D)中提出的比较将有助于评价 T国对该国股市下跌严重程度的解释。如果那些除了最近的非国有化，其他经济条件与 T国类似的国家下跌的严重程度至少是一样大，那么就削弱了 T国的解释。然而如果这些国家下跌的严重程度比 T国小，就支持了该解释。因此，(D)是正确答案。选项(A)、(C)和(E)是好的选择，因为每项只关心衡量 T国下跌的严重程度，没有对下跌原因的假想提出评估。T 国下一次下跌的时间与评论这样的假想无关，因此，(B
42、)不合适。9.A group of paintings made approximately 15,000 years ago in a cave in the Loire River valley in what is now France depicts a number of different animals.

45、ting are longer than those of the mature Himalayan chiru解析：解析 要支持这个洞穴艺术家画的是他或她所熟悉的 Chiru，就需要找一个选项表明在这个艺术家生活的那个时代，那个地方存在 Chiru这种动物。从(B)选项所陈述的内容，我们很容易推出 Chiru这种动物至少在 1.6万年之前已经在那个地方出现，比这个艺术家创作壁画的时代早一千多年。由此分析可知(B)是正确答案。(A)和(D)对本题问题的假设构成了反对；(C)中的“植物”与本题无关；(E)引入了与本文推理无关的新的比较，因此(A)、(C)、(D)、(E)均为错误选项。10.The
46、 painter Peter Brandon never dated his works, and their chronology is only now beginning to take shape in the critical literature. A recent dating of a Brandon self-portrait to 1930 is surely wrong. Brandon was 63 years old in 1930, yet the painting shows a young, dark-haired man-obviously Brandon,
