B、Sand dunes have been shown to provide effective protection against the storm surge, the pounding waves driven by hurricane-force winds onto dry lanD、 C、Although sea oats will lead to the growth of sand dunes over many years, it would be far faster to build concrete bunkers between the building and the water.

| 第2题：Read the argument and the instructions that follow it, and then make any notes that will help you plan your response. Write your response on a separate sheet of paper. If possible, type your essay on a word processor. An economist addressed the following statement to a group of economists and policy makers: Our federal government often employs subsidies and trade measures to protect the well-being of certain traditional industries, such as steel production and agriculture, because these industries have been seen as vital to the nation’s interests. In recent decades, however, the nation’s economy has grown far more from the development of newer, information-oriented industries such as pharmaceuticals, computer technology, and mediA、These newer industries promise more growth in personal income and tax revenue than do the older industries, and they are generally less harmful to the environment. It is wrong, therefore, for the federal government to protect and subsidize traditional industries such as steel and agriculture, when such protectionist practices may delay workers in these traditional industries from moving to newer sectors of the economy that can offer greater benefits to workers and to the nation as a whole. Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion, be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative examples or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion. |

| 第4题：The cypress trees of the Louisiana wetlands are threatened by the exploding population of nutria, a type of SouthAmerican rodent introduced into the area in the 1930s in hopes of starting a nutria fur industry. Unfortunately, no one wanted the fur, and now the rodents number in the millions. A、park ranger has suggested introducing the SouthAmerican jaguar, the nutria’s natural predator, into the Louisiana wetlands as a way to control the nutria population. Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the ranger’s plan to introduce jaguars as an effective way to control the nutria population A、Past attempts to control the nutria population through traps and poison have resulted in limited and temporary population reductions. B、 A、program in Florida found that the best way to conserve the root systems of wetland trees such as cypresses is to surround the trees’ roots with tough plastic barriers. C、The jaguar is a large and deadly predator that, if introduced, could kill livestock, pets, or even humans that it encounters in the Louisiana wetlands. D、During the past year an unusually cold winter killed an estimated 35 percent of the nutria population in the Louisiana wetlands. E、The SouthAmerican jaguar is a predator of the ferret, which is currently the chief predator of the nutria in the Louisiana wetlands. |

| 第5题：The questions in this group are based on the content of a passage.After reading the passage, choose the best answer to each question.Answer all questions following the passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage. One of the best sources modem scholars have for learning about HellenisticEgypt is the large supply of papyrus fragments that have turned up in theEgyptian desert over the last century. Papyrus is a thick type of paper made from a reedy plant found inEgypt. Papyrus is much tougher than the wood-pulp paper used in modern society; whereas a book produced today will most likely fall apart within a century, there are papyrus fragments that are still legible over 2,000 years after scribes wrote on them. It is primarily by accident that any of these fragments have surviveD、Most of the surviving fragments have been found in ancient garbage dumps that were covered over by the desert and preserved in the dry heat. The benefit of this type of archeological find is that these discarded scraps often give us a more accurate picture of the daily lives of ancientEgyptians--their business affairs, personal correspondence, and religious pleas--than the stone engravings and recorded texts that were intended to be passed down to later generations. One of the most important papyrus discoveries of recent years was the revelation in 2001 that a scrap of papyrus that had been discarded and used to wrap a mummy contained 110 previously unknown epigrams (short, witty poems) by the Hellenistic poet Posidippus (cA、280-240B、 C、). Posidippus lived inAlexandria and benefited from the support of King Ptolemy II Philadelphos (ruled 284-246B、 C、). These new epigrams have yielded fascinating insight into the court culture and literary sensibilities of early HellenisticEgypt. King Ptolemy, of course, was also a sponsor of the famous library ofAlexandria, the greatest depository of knowledge in the ancient worlD、According to the twelfth-centuryByzantine writer John Tzetzes, the ancient library contained nearly half a million papyrus scrolls. If that library had not burned down, maybe archeologists today would not have to spend so much of their time sorting through ancient trash! Which of the following would best illustrate how a discarded fragment of papyrus might give us a more accurate picture of the daily lives of ancientEgyptians than a record intended to be permanent A、A、poet such as Posidippus may have composed rough drafts of his epigrams on papyrus fragments prior to writing them in their final form. B、Grocery lists, which give insights into the diets of ancient people, would never be included in stone inscriptions but could be scribbled on scraps of papyrus. C、The Hellenistic monarchs employed some of the finest historians of the Greek world to provide chronicles of their reigns. D、Some papyrus fragments may have been used for purposes other than writing, such as binding wounds or wrapping small packages. E、Stone inscriptions describing military events often embellish the truth to favor whoever is paying for the inscription. |
