真经GRE阅读机经320篇-Passage 54

The discovery of subsurface life on earth surviving independently from surface life refuted the belief that biological processes require not only liquid water but sunlight as well thus greatly enhancing the possibility of life beyond Earth. Take Jupiter’s moon Europa. Space probes show a body covered with a thick layer of ice. As Europa orbits its planet however it flexes due to the gravitational tug-of-war between it its sister moons and Jupiter. Through friction this flexing produces heat in the moon’s interior capable of melting ice. Indeed observations suggest liquid water exists beneath Europa’s icy crust. Photosynthetic life is impossible there because sunlight is completely absent but life such as the microbes that flourish deep within earth may still be possible.

Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply

1. Life on Europa in the form suggested in the passage would be dependent on

A. the protection Europa’s icy crust gives against the harmful components of sunlight

B. the existence of water on Europa

C. the motion of Europa around Jupiter

2. The highlighted sentence “take Jupiter’s moon Europa” serves to introduce

A. an instance that allows a hypothesis to be tested

B. speculation grounded in empirical discovery

C. a deduction from a newly advanced hypothesis

D. a large-scale effect of an apparently insignificant contingency

E. the derivation of a contradiction to refute a claim

真经GRE阅读机经320篇-Passage 148

Mary Barton particularly in its early chapters is a moving response to the suffering of the industrial worker in the England of the 1840s. What is most impressive about the book is the intense and painstaking effort made by the author Elizabeth Gaskell to convey the experience of everyday life in working class homes. Her method is partly documentary in nature: the novel includes such features as a carefully annotate reproduction of dialect the exact details of food prices in an account of a tea party an itemized description of the furniture of the Bartons’ living room and a transcription (again annotated) of the ballad “The Oldham Weaver”. The interest of this record is considerable even though the method has a slightly distancing effect.

As a member of the middle class Gaskell could hardly help approaching working-class life as an outside observer and a reporter and the reader of the novel is always conscious of this fact. But there is genuine imaginative re-creation in her accounts of the walk in Green Heys Fields of tea at the Bartons’ house and of John Barton and his friend’s discovery of the starving family in the cellar in the chapter “Poverty and Death.” Indeed for a similarly convincing re-creation of such families’ emotions and responses (which are more crucial than the material details on which the mere reporter is apt to concentrate) the English novel had to wait 60 years for the early writing of D. H. Lawrence. If Gaskell never quite conveys the sense of full participation that would completely authenticate this aspect of Mary Bartons she still brings to these scenes an intuitive recognition of feelings that has its own sufficient conviction.

The chapter “Old Aice’s History” brilliantly dramatizes the situation of that early generation of workers brought from the villages and the countryside to the urban industrial centers. The account of Job Leigh the weaver and naturalist who is devoted to the study of biology vividly embodies one kind of response to an urban industrial environment: an affinity for living things that hardens by its very contrast with its environment into a kind of crankiness. The early chapters—about factory workers walking out in spring into Green Heys Fields about Alice Wilson remembering in her cellar the twig-gathering for brooms in the native village that she will never again see about Job Leigh intent on his impaled insects—capture the characteristic responses of a generation to the new and crushing experience of industrialism. The other early chapters eloquently portray the development of the instinctive cooperation with each other that was already becoming an important tradition among workers.

1. It can be inferred from examples given in the last paragraph of the passage that which of the following was part of “the new and crushing experience of industrialism” for many members of the English working class in the nineteenth century.

A. extortionate food prices

B. geographical displacement

C. hazardous working conditions

D. alienation from fellow workers

E. dissolution of family ties

2. It can be inferred that the author of the passage believes that Mary Barton might have been an even better novel if Gaskell

A. concentrated on the emotions of a single character

B. made no attempt to re-create experiences of which she had no firsthand knowledge

C. made no attempt to reproduce working-class dialects

D. grown up in an industrial city

E. managed to transcend her position as an outsider

3. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward Gaskell’s use of the method of documentary record in Mary Barton?

A. uncritical enthusiasm

B. unresolved ambivalence

C. qualified approval

D. resigned acceptance

E. mild irritation

4. Which of the following is most closely analogous to Job Leigh in Mary Barton as that character is described in the passage?

A. an entomologist who collected butterflies as a child

B. a small-town attorney whose hobby is nature photography

C. a young man who leaves his family’s dairy farm to start his own business

D. a city dweller who raises exotic plants on the roof of his apartment building

E. a union organizer who works in a textile mill under dangerous conditions

真经GRE阅读机经320篇-Passage 75

Normally seeds of Emmenathe penduliflora stay dormant for years and germinate only when a fire burns through their habitat. Nitrogen dioxide in the smoke induces the seeds to germinate. Fires clear the brush allowing germinating seeds to receive the sunlight they need to grow. The plants mature quickly produce seeds and then die. In areas with heavy automobile traffic however the seed germinates in the absence of fire with automobile exhaust supplying the required nitrogen dioxide.

1. The information given if accurate most strongly supports which of the following hypotheses?

A. Fires in the habitat of E. Penduliflora do not entirely destroy the plant’s seeds even in the places where the fires burn most intensely.

B. The nitrogen dioxide in automobile exhaust cannot harm plants of E. Penduliflora after germination.

C. If human intervention decreases the number of fires in the habitat of E. Penduliflora automobile exhaust can replicate the conditions the plant requires in order to thrive.

D. Within the habitat of E. Penduliflora natural fires are significantly more frequent in areas with heavy automobile traffic than they are in other areas.

E. Unless E. Penduliflora seeds that have germinated can survive in the shade automobile exhaust threatens the long-term survival of the plant in areas with heavy automobile traffic.

真经GRE阅读机经320篇-Passage 102

A divide between aesthetic and technical considerations has played a crucial role in mapmaking and cartographic scholarship. Since nineteenth century cartographers for instance understood themselves as technicians who did not care about visual effects while others saw themselves as landscape painters. That dichotomy structured the discipline of the history of cartography. Until the 1980s in what Blakemore and Harley called “the Old is Beautiful Paradigm ” scholars largely focused on maps made before 1800 marveling at their beauty and sometimes regretting the decline of the pre-technical age. Early mapmaking was considered art while modern cartography was located within the realm of engineering utility. Alpers however has argued that this boundary would have puzzled mapmakers in the seventeenth century because they considered themselves to be visual engineers.

1. According to the passage Alpers would say that the assumptions underlying the “paradigm” were

A. inconsistent with the way some mapmakers prior to 1800 understand their own work

B. dependent on a seventeenth-century conception of mapmaking visual engineering

C. unconcerned with the difference between the aesthetic and technical questions of mapmaking

D. insensitive to divisions among cartographers working in the period after 1800

E. supported by the demonstrable technical superiority of mapmaking made after 1800

2. It can be inferred from the passage that beginning in the 1980s historians of cartography

A. placed greater emphasis on the beauty of maps made after 1800

B. expanded their range of study to include more material created after 1800

C. grew more sensitive to the way mapmakers prior to 1800 conceived of their work

D. came to see the visual details of maps as aesthetic objects rather than practical cartographic aids

E. reduced the attention they paid to the technical aspects of mapmaking

真经GRE阅读机经320篇-Passage 179

Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

A. the fruits of the domesticated varieties are too large for birds to swallow

B. C.chinense grows in the Caribbean islands under climatic conditions very similar to those under which the wild variety grows

C. the peppers are an important part of the Caribbean islands’ characteristic cooking

D. most of the plant species in the Caribbean islands originated is South America

E. many of the species of birds that are found in the Caribbean islands spend only the winter there
