The reason air-pollution levels are higher i
19、n the newer houses is that many such houses are built near the sites of old waste dumps or where automobile emissions are heavy.Which of the following, if true, calls into question the explanation above?

22、an example. People think that they know the difference between the meanings of “bald“ and “having hair.“ Suppose an average person twentyone years of age has N hairs on his or her head. We say that that person is not bald but has hair. But surely one hair less would make no difference, and a person
23、with N-1 hairs on his or her head would be said to have hair. Suppose we kept on, with one hair less each time. The result would be the same. But what would be the difference between someone who had one hair and someone who had none? We call them both bald. Nowhere can we make a distinction between
24、“bald“ and “having hair.“Which of the following statements best counters the argument above? A. The word “bald“ can be translated into other languages. B. A word can have more than one meaning. C. A word such as “cat“ can be applied to several animals that differ in some respects. D. Words can lack
25、precision without being meaningless. E.

26、 in Greenville. Some city councilors argue that city taxes should be used primarily to benefit the people who pay them, and therefore that bus fares should be raised enough to cover the cost of the service.Each of the following, if true, would weaken the argument advanced by the city councillors EXC
27、EPT: A. Many businesses whose presence in the city is beneficial to the citys taxpayers would relocate outside the city if public-transit fares were more expensive. B. By providing commuters with economic incentives to drive to work, higher transit fares would worsen air pollution in Greenville and
28、increase the cost of maintaining the citys streets. C.

D. Voters in t
29、he city, many of whom benefit from the low transit fares, are strongly opposed to increasing local taxes. E. People who work in Greenville and earn wages above the nationally mandated minimum all pay the city wage tax of 5 percent.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.E.(12).The major goal of physical education programs

31、s above, if true, could be used most effectively to argue against A. the use of in-school physical education programs to encourage lifelong fitness habits in students. B. the participation by young children in community sports teams. C. schools relying heavily on aerobic exercise programs to help al
32、l children become physically fit. D. the use of a large part of a schools physical education curriculum for team sports.

34、pport for which of the following working hypotheses? A. The reaction of mice to sudden, serious threats is triggered by a chemical produced by the body, and this chemical is similar to the protein that was injected into the mice. B. The protein contained in snail toxin that was injected into the mic
35、e ordinarily has the primary function of protecting snails by inducing in those snails complete immobility. C. The protein that was injected into the mice would have made the mature mice fall asleep, too, if they had been injected with larger doses. D. Very young mice are as likely to be exposed to
36、sudden serious threats as are older mice. E. Very young mice are not developed enough to deal appropriately with even the stimuli that they are most likely to encounter.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.E.(14).Todays low gasoline prices make consumers willing to indulge their preference for larger cars, which consum
