第1题：The following data sufficiency problems consist of a question and two statements, labeled (1) and (2), in which certain data are given. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for answering the question. Using the data given in the statements plus your knowledge of mathematics and everyday facts (such as the number of days in July or the meaning of counterclockwise), you must indicate whether A、 Statement (1)ALONE、is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient. B、 Statement (2)ALONE、is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient. C、BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statementALONE、is sufficient. D、EACH statementALONE、is sufficient. Ｅ. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient. If p+q=400 and p＜q, is p+q＜r+s (1) p+r+s=600 (2) q+r＞400

Dear Sirs, Given all the coverage that the emergence of hybrid cars has received in your pages in recent months, your readers may be interested to learn that gasoline-electric hybrids are not a new phenomenon at all, but rather the latest incarnation of an idea that has been kicking around for over a century. Indeed, the hybrid car has been around almost as long as the automobile itself. At the turn of the twentieth century, as the automotive age dawned, three power-generating technologies competed for dominance: steam, gasoline, and electricity. In the year 1900, steam was well known as the power source of the industrial revolution, and electricity was widely regarded as the power source of the future, so it was not at all obvious that internal combustion engines burning a fractional distillate of crude petroleum would have any particular edge in this race for the powertrains ofAmericA、Indeed, when engineer H. Piper filed the first patent application for a gasoline-electric hybrid motor in 1905, his intention was to use the gas to give a little kick to his perfectly serviceable electric engine. His goal: an engine that could accelerate from 0 to 25 miles per hour in 10 seconds. Piper achieved his goal.Electric and hybrid-electric engines powered more than 35,000 vehicles sold in 1912. These cars were perfectly adequate for the time, but over the following decade they mostly disappeared from the market, through no fault of their own. The cause of their decline was the spectacular improvements in the cost and performance of gasoline-powered cars.An onslaught of fast and cheap internal combustion cars from Ford, General Motors, andBuick essentially buried the electric and electric-hybrid motors by the 1920s. Continuing performance improvements in internal combustion engines and inexpensive gas pretty much kept hybrids buried until the oil crises of 1973 and 1979 gaveAmericans a reason to start thinking about fuel efficiency.Engineers had the motivation to think about fuel-efficient hybrids, but they still lacked the means to make hybrids economically competitive with gas-powered cars, because the performance of gas-electric engines lagged far behind that of gas-powered engines in acceleration, top speed, and cruising range. Dramatic improvements in electronics and computer technology during the 1990s, however, finally made the hybrid a reality.Advances in battery performance and, most importantly, computer-guided electric power transfer created a car that could drive like a regular car, but do so on half the tank of gas.As another century dawns, perhaps we are entering into a new automotive age. According to the information given in the passage, which of the following best characterizes the different motivations behind the earliest experiments with gasoline-electric hybrids and the experiments going on in modern times A、The earliest experiments with hybrids sought to improve the fuel efficiency of electric engines, while modern experiments seek to improve the performance of gas-burning engines. B、The earliest experiments with hybrids sought to improve the fuel efficiency of gas-burning engines, while modern experiments seek to improve the performance of electric engines. C、Modern experiments with hybrids seek to improve the fuel efficiency of gas-burning engines, while the earliest experiments sought to improve the performance of electric engines. D、Modern experiments with hybrids seek to improve the cruising range of gas-powered cars, while earlier experiments sought to improve the handling and safety of electric cars. E、The earliest experiments with hybrids sought to combi

Although hard statistics are difficult to come by, there is substantial anecdotal evidence that use of performance-enhancing drugs, or doping, is rampant in professional sports. Of perhaps greater significance to society are the estimated 1.5 million amateur athletes who use steroids, either to improve their appearance or to emulate the performance of their favorite professional athletes. This chemical epidemic is a pernicious threat to both the nation’s health and our collective sense of "fair play." Nonprescription anabolic steroids have been illegal in the United States since 1991, and most professional sports leagues have banned them since the 1980s. These bans are partly a matter of fairness--a talented athlete trained to the peak of her ability simply cannot compete with an equivalent athlete using steroids--but also based on issues of health.Anabolic androgenic steroids ("anabolic" means that they build tissues; "androgenic" means that they increase masculine traits) have been linked to liver damage, kidney tumors, high blood pressure, balding, and acne. They function by increasing the body’s level of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone. In men, this dramatic increase in testosterone can lead to the shrinking of testicles, infertility, and the development of breasts; in women, it can lead to the growth of facial hair and permanent damage to the reproductive system. Steroids have also been linked to a range of psychological problems, including depression and psychotic rage. The punishments for getting caught using steroids are severe, and the serious health consequences are well documenteD、Despite this, millions of professional and amateur athletes continue to use performance-enhancing drugs. Why is this One clear pattern is that many athletes will do whatever it takes to get an edge on the competition. Since the 1950s, Olympic athletes have played a cat-and-mouse game with OlympicCommittee officials to get away with doping, because the drugs really do work.Athletes who dope are simply stronger and faster than their competitors who play fair. Professional athletes in football and baseball have found that steroids and human growth hormone can give them the edge to score that extra touch-down or home run, and in the modern sports market, those results can translate into millions of dollars in salary. For the millions of less talented athletes in gyms and playing fields across the country, drugs seem like the only way to approach the abilities of their heroes in professional sports. The other clear pattern, unfortunately, is that it has been all too easy for abusers to get away with it. Steroid abuse is often regarded as a "victimless crime." One of the favored ways to trick the testers is to use "designer" steroids. There are thousands of permutations of testosterone, such as THG, that can be produced in a laB、Chemists have discovered that they can create new drugs that produce androgenic effects but do not set off the standard doping tests. Other methods have been to use the steroids but stop a few weeks before testing, to use other chemicals to mask the traces of steroids, or to switch in a "clean" sample of urine at the testing site. Other athletes use steroid precursors, such as androstene-dione, that have androgenic effects similar to those of steroids but are not illegal because they are not technically steroids. The sad fact is that unless the government and professional sports organizations are willing to get tough on the steroid problem, the use of performance-enhancing dugs in sports is not going to enD、 According to the passage, which of the following can be inferred about the "designer"
