escarole n.莴苣菜
注意由于unlike带来的名词比较,弄清比较对象:winter greens VS escarole
因此E选项把cooking time 和escarole比较,因此错误
错选E:阅读细节被遗漏:"argue that .... reduced the effort rquired.... but ownership of these appliances did not correlate with less time spent on housework", 说明科技进步还是能够减轻工作量的,但是对家务时间的减少并没有太大关联。
reduce effort to certain task, 我也是错选了这个
(1)中的只买P不买Q意味着不包含两个圆重叠的部分,(2)的买Q,是指的是整个Q的圆。因此1+2刚好是全部圆的部分,用整体的1减去它们就能求得都不买的人的比例。
再看一遍就对了... besides 可以做副词或介词,这里做副词比较合理,所以是一个伴随状语
A选项有点绕,首先cost per pack to consumers其实就是company's sales price,所以表示公司不会为了牺牲利润而不涨价(公司一定会涨价)
既然公司涨价了,那收到的香烟税就会变多
注意后面说"percentage" did not change,所以tax遍少了表示市值下降了
warranted原本意思是保证的,这里可能解释为正确的(因为后来被其他科学家证实)
这题实在不该错,前面主语是(environmentalists') proposals,ABC应该要最快速排掉
immune to; immune from,前者是对···免疫;后者是免除于····+注意时态是过去完成时
注意平行关系和句意,且主语是style
first, examine the split between 'more ergonomic' and just 'ergonomic'. in this case, we must preserve the meaning of the original statement: the new design is more ergonomic than the old design. if we change this to just 'ergonomic', we're attaching an implication that the old design simply wasn't ergonomic (and that the new design, by contrast, is) - an unacceptable implication. that gets rid of answer choices c, d, and e right there.
another item to examine is parallelism. in this case, in the construction 'X rather than Y' (or its analogues, 'X and not Y' and 'more X than Y'), items X and Y must be parallel.
A选项反而加强了argument,因为这些star cluster并不会因为重力太大而collapse,所以是有可能为dim star的
B选项难在选项看不懂 preclude=排除,抽主干看:A cluster of stats preclude the existence (phenomena observed at M87 center),表示如果中间是星星的话,那么就观察不到这个中心的其他天文现象(例如附近的物体快速转动 - 个人浅见),所以给了一个和前提矛盾的描述)
错选D,山的高度不是existing problem,A选项那么好摆在那里不知道为什么不选...
The numerical effect is obvious: there are fewer salmon in degraded regions than in pristine ones; however, habitat loss also has the potential to reduce genetic diversity.
错选D,D选项说的应该是habitat loss带来的后果,而不是human activity的直接原因,B选项简单的有点不敢选...
since the process provides a source of novel genes and a mechanism by which a location can be repopulated should the fish there disappear
又错了主旨题,要判断作者对文章的态度,作者在文章中举反例反驳theoy,然后又点出有些因素没有被考虑进来,所以确实有call into questions
每看一句要想他和上一句的关系是什么,这里在反驳前面说到恐龙出现时间和鸟类出现的时间相隔很短,并不足以让恐龙演化成鸟类,所以后面反驳如果有更早的恐龙化石就可以证明(而且还没有挖出来不代表没有)
要看对立场,正确选项B说当suppliers竞争激烈的时候可能suppliers会愿意出更多钱赢得和purchasers合作的机会
错选D,文章提到direct/indirect只是单纯描述一下purchase的类型,没有提到good and service
错选E,E只提到了文章部分信息,相比之下C围绕著cost of living更切合题旨
The boycott shut. down much of the City's foodstuffs marketing for two weeks, "riveting public attention on the issue of food prices"
错选D,那个应该是socialist的部份,women动机并没有提到这点
选了C,错因是没找到围绕全文展开论述的话:
1965年前科学家认为板块运动是摩擦生热,且假设材质不同,摩擦不同
1965年,but in 1965 Henyey found that temperatures in drill holes near the fault were not as elevated as had been expected,(注意这里的时间是1965年,)
1992年有一个test发现压力也会影响摩擦生热,但最终的关系科学家们还在wonder
因此总体来看,是H的发现引起了全文的论述,而不是1992的test
