2020.03 Asia Pacific Reading Reviews:

The overall difficulty of reading is moderately low, mainly because the great

literature of this volume is less difficult, the novel is not difficult, which can at least

help candidates save a lot of time.

Passage 1

Examined is the British Victorian Mrs. Gaskell's novel, the text style is delicate, close

to "Jane Eyre", the text is slightly less difficult than "Jane Eyre." It was Thornton

who persuaded her mother to take a horse-riding bus to visit a few friends' homes,

andMrsThornton Madame was reluctant to go, and the two men had a conversation

about whether to rent a horse or not was reluctant to go, and the two had a

conversation about whether to rent horses, to whether to call Mrs Thornton's lady's

daughter Fanny, Go together, then go and then to whether Mrs Thornton was with

her son or with her daughter. A long sentence appears on lines 58 through 67, but it

is not particularly difficult to understand. Difficult words such as overcompensate,、

fortitude, etc. are set in the options, as well as Such a difficult word, also examined

phrases such as kill off (eliminate a lot ofthings),to be ill at ease(uncomfortable,

uncomfortable).

Passage 2 Great Literature Double

The great literature was a speech by Roosevelt in 1933 and a speech by another man

against him. In his speech, Roosevelt proposed theGood Neighbor Policy,also

known as the Good Neighbor Policy. Roosevelt's "Good Neighbors Policy" speech,

and presented English-Chinese documentation of the three speeches. The third

Roosevelt speech we gave was not the same as the one in the exam, but the content

was much the same. I do not know if there are students seriously looked, if you look,

should certainly be able to more easily cope with this examination of the "good
neighbors" bar.

Passage 3 Natural Sciences

There are more abstract theoretical concepts in the article, the amount of

information is large and complicated, and the overall difficulty is greater. The article

begins with an overview of Chickadee's the situation, to speak situation, speaking

of chickadee, a bird that, although a herd, is usually far apart from the individual and

invisible to each other, it is necessary to send a message to its companions by

making a cry. They convey information by adjusting whether the A-tone in the call is

a little more or the D-tone is a little more. The scientists then used models of

chickadee's natural enemies (Chinese used to call them "specimens") to scare

Models of some natural enemies (Chinese called "specimens") to scare Chickadee,，

Then analyze and then analyzed chickadee's tone. Starting with line 42, The line

begins, specifically with the two scientists in a 2009 study by two scientists, which

included The study included a set of two experiments, the first of which was in

several different sizes a set of two experiments, the first of which used several model

to scare predator models of different sizes to scare Chickadee,，It turned out to be

the right one found that Chickadee emitted more The really threatening body size is

smaller D-tones when encountering a smaller predator model that was a real threat

model ，to ChChickadee. Chickadee Chickadee emits fewer predator Ds when

itencounters a larger predator model that is not a threat. Then do a second

experiment, this time not to show Chickadee, the Predator model, but to scare them

in a different way. It's about putting the recording from the first experiment back to

Chickadee to see how Chickadee reacts. "The results showed that chickadee-

initiated mobbing (gathering will initiate to harass and besiege predators) when it

heard a recording of a cry with more D tones." This second experiment linked the D-

to-mobbing D Harmonic. mobbing behavior. This means that Chickadee does

convey different messages through the tone of the call.

Question 28 examines the purpose of the experiment, and question 30 requires a

certain degree of difficulty in combination with graph reasoning.

Passage 4 Social Sciences (Behavioral Sciences).

The article language is not difficult, there is no complex concept, the experimental

design is very good to understand, that is, let people take a hot drink or cold drink

for a time, and then let people say that they feel for a stranger or acquaintance, found

that first took a hot drink, the evaluation of people is also relatively "warm". First

took a cold drink, the evaluation of people is also relatively cold. Question 33

examines the phrase turn your eyebrows (raise your eyebrowsto express surprise

anddisagree). Question 36 has a "enhanced weakening question", which is the type

of question in the GMAT The question type in the exam, in exam, which is less

common in the SAT exam and has some difficulty.

Passage 5 Natural Sciences

The amount of information in the article is large and difficult. The article is about an

experimental field in Jena, This place has an experimental field from Germany, that

has been in place for many years since 2002, so we know that a variety of crop

hybrids can increase soil microbial activity, and that some bacteria can help plants

fight disease. Scientists also wanted to know more about how a variety of crops mix

and how to mix and match different crops, so they first wanted to find out by

studying bacteria in the soil. But when it was later discovered that bacteria in the

soil had moved to mediums for study, bacteria were prone to survival, and

sometimes two plants added a bacterium to the soil, so even finding the bacteria

would not indicate which plant contributed more to soil improvement. So Jousset

and Latz began looking for DNA in the soil bacteria. The microbial structure of the

soil can be identified by comparing which disease-resistant DNA existsin mixed

soils with different matching proportions, or it can focus on bacteria that inhibit

pathogens (rather than all the beneficialbacteria in the soil).

Passage 1

1. A
 Ask the full text. Lines 1 through line 36 of the article are about whether Mrs.

Thornton Madame would like to go to a few people's homes as guests, and then

at first wants to visit several people, and then on lines 37 Line to No through 70,

line from her daughter is not going to the transition to speak she transitions from

whether her daughter is not going with her to mrs. Thornton's feelings for her

son and daughter.

2. D

Details. Ask the meaning of lines 8 through 11. The meaning of "kill off" in line

9 “is to removeand eliminate, and here is the meaning of "handle off". The whole

sentence means that Mrs Thornton, who sat in a carriage for three days less than

half a month ago, had a hard time completing the task of visiting acquaintances.

Who may now put themselves to trouble and expense in their turn is that Mrs

Thornton Madame has been on the run for money has been on a costly run to

see these friends who have to see, and now it is their turn to return to visit her

in a carriage, she does not want to run again.

3. B

Details. Ask Mrs Thornton why she doesn't want to rent horses. Evidence in lines

26 to 28，one would think you weremade of money,，"one would think..." indicates

that Mrs Thornton cares and cares about other people's thoughts and opinions.

Note that option C is ill at ease is a fixed phrase, meaning to be out and not

relaxed,，and option C means "Mrs Thornton will not be comfortable when the

horse in thecarriage is close".

In choice D (think for her ) is not a match to the t evidence D because she was

talking to her son

4. D

The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last

question, see the analysis of the last question.

5. D

Vocabulary questions.

be given to something is a fixed phrase, meaning to do something regularly or

as a habit. Do it often; get used to it

Example.：She was given to staying in bed till lunchtime.

She often stays in bed until lunchtime.

Incline to/towards something means "inclined to think, inclined to agree" and is

close to the meaning of be given to something.

6. B

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Q. What does line 54 do with the

discussion of "A Stranger"? We can't just look at the phrase "a stranger" but two

sentences from lines 54 to 58, two sentences, this sentence is to say which

say,"A less attentive bystander might think... but that'sa big mistake." So lines

54 through 57 line is to lead out the No are intended to correct a possible

misinterpretation (option B) if lines 57 through 58 are quoted. Note that the

possible in option B corresponds to the virtual tone of line 55, the virtual tone of

the line “may have considered".

7. B

Ask what lines 54 to 70 mean? This is actually the test pair for line 58 The very

daringness... To line 67... The understanding of the long sentence and lines

through 70 of the a secure resting-place for her affection. If a stranger watches

from the sidelines and thinks mrs. Thorton The lady's attitude towards her son

was a little rougher, and a little more careful with her daughter might have

thought has a rougher attitude towards her son and a little more careful about

her daughter, he may think that Mrs. Thorton loves her daughter much more than

she does her son. That's a big mistake. Mrs. Thorton and her son can tell the

unpleasant truth, ）Truth, showing that mother and son are firmly attached to
 each other's souls, andshowing that the mother and son are firmly attached to

each other, while Mrs. Thorton is always worried about her daughter's

tenderness about her suffering

She subconsciously thought that her daughter lacked some of her mother's

excellent qualities, which she considered to be more valuable among the many

qualities. She felt a little ashamed to think that her daughter lacked some of her

mother's qualities and tried to hide it. Mrs. Thorton's shame exposed her love

for her daughter, which in fact lacked a safe footing (i.e., she could not fall on

her daughter, i.e. she did not actually love her so much). She called her son a

direct name (that's the real pro-family name), and told her daughter to always

use "dear" and other names (these calls are not really pro). So Mrs. Thorton

knewin her heart that she was closer to her son and not so close to her daughter,

so she called her " dear"），These are actually taking a kind of make-up（and

showed a special tenderness, which was actually a measure of make-up. But this

remedy is a little too much, so it's overcompensate.

8. C

Vocabulary questions.

Deeply That means extremely or strongly ， profoundly That means

deeply or extremely。

9. B

Details. Ask, according to thearticle, what is the style of conversation between

John Thornton and her mother?

Evidence is on lines 58 to 59，The two men dared to tell the true truth, so they

chose candid，candid That means honest and telling the truth, especially about

something difficult or painful ，（ Especially for difficult or painful things)

forthright, frank, outspoken

Mother and son are discussing a not very good thing to deal with, in the end to
 go to visit friends, rent not rent horses, etc., when the twopeople directly use the

word "nonsense" dialogue, it can be seen that the two sides are more candid.

10. C

The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last

question, see the analysis of the last question.

Passage 2

11. D

Separate proof-seeking questions. Roosevelt believed that the primary

responsibility of each country was to meet the needs of its own people, and

asked which option could support that view.

Line 45，the interest of our own citizens must, in each instance, come

firsthand the question in the trunk a primary responsibility to the needs of its

people。

12. A

Details. Ask passage 1, whatdoes Roosevelt think of Monroeism?

A) Fully support the idea that Monroeist policies are part of the Good Neighbors

policy.

B) Agree to implement this policy in the United States and not outside the United

States.

C) He acknowledges that Monroeism used to be useful, but it's out of date.

D) Oppose many of the provisions of Monroeism, especially those that limit

American power.

First find the reference toMonroeism in line 20, which Roosevelt believed was,

and still does, point to the independence of the peoples of the Americas, and

which was, and still opposes, any country outside the Americas to expand its 2
 territory or seek control. The next use of this pan-american doctrine of

continental self-defense refers to "Monroeism", arguing that refers to

"Monroeism" and thinks in passing years, the people of the Americas realized

not only that European forces should not interfere with the Americas, but also

that there was mutual respect for each other's independence within the Americas.

That is, the good neighbor policy is a policy developed on the basis of

Monroeism (not to let the Europeans get involved in the Americas, not to let the

Europeans get involved in the Americas, the countries within the United States

respect each other's independence, do not bully each other), so Monroeism can

be seen as part of the good neighbor policy.

13. A

Vocabulary questions.

Peculiar here means content exclusively to (unique, unique, unique), specific

has a meaning that means content or relating to a particular subject (unique;

specific), and peculiar means close in the article.

Example. ： Information needs are often very specific to companies and

individuals.

Companies and individuals often have specific information needs.

14. C

Requires a summary of the full text structure of Passage 2. Passage 2's

structure is clear, and the author Beals lists In Arabic numerals In Arabic

numerals three A. notions using the Arabic listed numerals 1, 2, and 3, and then

1、2、3 dismisses them in batches. Notion in the correct option C means a

conception of or belief about listed something (concept; concept; opinion,

opinion).

15. D

Details. Ask Beals what happens to countries that are geographically close to
 each other.

"Evidence in lines 61 to 63, France and Germany have different policies, partly

because they are neighbouring countries."

The in the correct option D dissimilar policies Corresponds to line 62 different

policies。

16. B

Details. Q. What does Beal think of some of Europe's dictatorships?

Evidence in lines 69 to 71, some are worse tyrannies than any in Europe,

meaningthat some countries in the Americas are more authoritarian than the

worst ， dictatorships in Europe. The correct option, B, says that Europe's

dictatorships are no more authoritarian than many dictatorships in the Americas.

Two places say the same thing.

17. C

The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last

question, see the analysis of the last question.

18. A

Vocabulary questions. The on line 70 The verb shape of the line's limited is limit，

limit meaning set or serve as a limit to（Limit.），The correct option A means limit,

which also means "limit.” （ prevent (someone or something) from doing

something; keep under control or within limits）

19. D

Ask which of the following options summarizes a major difference in the way

two articles use writing?

A) The first article analyses some historical data on a number of countries in the
Americas, while the second article mainly expresses the views of those

countries in the first article. The first article is not analyzing historical data, so A

is wrong.

B) The first article advocated broad changes in political activity, while the second

article defended the status quo and argued that it should be maintained. The first

article did not say that the status quo was bad and that there should be a big

change, but rather a greater emphasis on mutual respect and equality within the

Americas on the basis of Monroeism, and finally, although there were calls for

the removal of trade barriers, it did not call for broad changes. The second article

is not to say that the status quo is good, to maintain the status quo, but to point

out that the status quo is not as ideal as the first article said. So B is wrong.

C) The first article set out the goals that countries in the Western Hemisphere

should strive to achieve, and the second article focused mainly on the past

behaviour of those countries. The structure of the first article is to first announce

the good neighbor policy that the United States will pursue, then point out the

good neighbor policy and the commonality and continuity of Monroeism, then

blame the ongoing conflicts in four countries, and finally call for the removal of

some unnecessary trade barriers. The second article is pointing out that

Roosevelt's several understandings of reality and the status quo were wrong,

not focused on the past behavior of these countries. So C is wrong.

D) The first article deals primarily with international relations in general terms,

while the second article focuses on specific situations (in the area of

international relations). The main part of the first article is line 1 to 35, is a general

general talk of "mutual respect", "mutual understanding" and other concepts

andism, the second article specifically analyzed Germany and France, the

Americas border countries policy, comparing the dictatorships of the Americas

and Europe, and comparing the American countries be bespass or European

countries, these issues are some (international relations) specific situation.

20. A

Two relationship questions. Ask Roosevelt what his views are compared to

Beal's views on state relations.

According to line 55, Beal Think Roosevelt's understanding of reality is believed

that Roosevelt's understanding of reality was falsehoods,、misconceptions, and

some non-existent situations, and that Roosevelt's idea that the Americas were

less authoritarian, peace-loving, and that good relations could be made between，

neighbors.

21. B

Details. Ask Roosevelt if some of Roosevelt's views are seen by Beals as old

platitudes, and which of the next ones is most likely to fall into this category?

The question, which needed to be found in lines 84 to 85 from 84 lines of the

wrong platitudes, said, "Just as Roosevelt was talking about some old-fashioned

colleagues, Nicaragua and Honduras came close to fighting because of a stamp",

a remark that satirized Roosevelt, which showed that Roosevelt had said that

Nicaragua and Honduras would not fight. This corresponds to Option B, in which

the countries of the Americas increasingly value their independence from each

other (no interference in the affairs of other countries, no war).

Passage 3

22. A

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the full text of the features.

Option A is correct. The article does introduce several experiments, which

determine which specific tone mode the call presents has which function (some

tone function is alarm,，Some tones function some tone function is mobbing,also

knownas assembly).

Option B is wrong in thearticle and does not mention that there are
 severalcompeting theories (competing hypotheses),），option C is wrong in the

results of the two teams of scientists is notinconsistent (discrepancy),），option

D is wrong and does not compare the tone pattern of the tits' voice with that

of other The choice was wrong and the results of the two teams of scientists

were not inconsistent（ birds.

23. D

Details. Ask the what the pronunciation system is useful for?

The evidence is in lines 1 through 5, because the birds, although inhabited,

cannot see each other when moving in their natural environment (at a distance),

YES, because the birds, though in groups, cannot see each other when they

move in their natural environment (at a distance), so they can issue "find food"

or "find enemies “signal so the vocal signaling system that sends a signal of

"find food" or "find the enemy" is crucial for the 1 crucial tits. Line 5 of Key

corresponds to useful in the correct option for the line in corresponds to the in

the question header, line 1 of out of sight correct option D in not bevisible to

other flocks.

24. D

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the function of the information in

parentheses on lines 16 through 18 is 16

A)Give some definitions of scientific terms, errors. The definition of a term is not

important for an experiment. Just saying the name of a bird and saying that it

doesn't prey on a is not a definition. The definition should be to give a lot of

characteristics, "tall, hair color is usually gray, the forehead has erythema, legs

slender, good at flying, can also wade, mainly to freshwater shrimp for food for

an amphibian migratory bird" this.

And. B) Describes what the appearance characteristics of sharp shinned hawks

and blue jay are different from the appearance of tits. Error. The two birds are
 the predator of the tits, predatorand their function is to frighten thetits, and the

difference between their own shape and the has nothing to do with the

experiment.

C)Emphasize that both predatory birds that eat other birds and non-predator

birds that don't eat other birds use sound to convey information. Error. The

article makes no mention of the sound of Predator.

D) State the significance of selecting several different bird models (the key is

that one bird is the predator of the tits,，The other is not a threat to and acts as

an experiment the other is not a threat to the tits, acting as control in the

experiment, i.e.when the controlgroup, without the control group, the experiment

can not draw any meaningful conclusions). Note that the significance here does

not mean the meaning of the important, but the meaning of the special meaning.

Example.：Do you think that look he gave you had any significance?

Do you think he has any special meaning in looking at you?

25. B

Vocabulary questions。 give something away That means

to tell people something secret, often without intending to（Not careful）

Leaks, Exposures (Secrets)

Reveal That means to make known or show something that is surprising or that

was previously secret，And give away meaning close。

26. D

Separate proof-seeking questions. The difference in body size between and

predators has an effect on whether predators prey on, and which sentence

provides evidence?

Evidence is in lines 54 to 56, with small predators preying on petite birds（song

 birds），Big predator Do not hunt。

27. B

Vocabulary questions. What the point means here is depict (a particular subject)

in a picture or other work of art，This refers to birds model represent Bird.。 So

choose depict。

28. D

Details. Ask Soard and Ritchison to An experiment was added to play back many

from an experimented an experiment to play back the calls of a lot of in an

experiment, and what are they doing for?

The first thing to know about Soard and Ritchison，First did an experiment, that

is, take fixed several kinds is to scare the with several models The model went

to scare the and concluded that the encountered small, truly threatening ones

that are immobilized, and to conclude that the sound of the contains more the

model that emits more sounds D-tones when they encounter a small, truly

threatening model of the predator. Later,in another experiment, played a tape

of the tits' barking recorded when the model scared the to another group of, and

as a result, the were more likely to When you tune more, you're more likely to

start with the speaker that plays the recording launch a mobbing of the speaker

playing the recording when they heard the recording containing more tits' calls,

i.e. the group approached the speaker andattacked the speaker. This confirms

that the tits that contain more D-tones do convey a signal calling on other to

come together to launch a mobbing Signal of attack (No attack (lines 67 to 70),

which clearly shows that the do adjust the composition of their call tones

according to the different circumstances they encounter when they encounter a

threat.

A) Make sure that the will not change the composition of the tone in the call
 without a direct threat. Wrong, because this option means that the second

experiment is to see what kind of callthe would make without predator and only

with a recording. The purpose of the second experiment was to observe the

behavior of the without recording the calls made by the again.

B) Clarify whether the size of the predator model affects the patterns (i.e. the

composition) of the various tones in the tits' call. The first experiment, perched-

predator,had already clarified the problem, and the second experiment to play

the recording could not be furtherclarified than the first experiment. So B is

wrong.

C) Solve several contradictory experimental results from the first experiment.

Error, the first experiment did not produce contradictory experimental results.

D) Confirm the significance of a discovery in the first experiment. Note that the

meaning of significance here, Problem. like the significance in the 一 is in the

option 24-question D option, means meaning, not 24 significance

meaningimportance.

Example.: Do you think that look he gave you had any significance?

Do you think he has any special meaning in looking at you?

Because the discovery of the first The tone conveys the expression experiment

only found a relationship between D-tone Harmonic. and predator, Without more

experiments, this finding is not very large the discovery would not have been

significant if there were no more experiments, and the ， And the second

experiment confirmed that second experiment confirmed that the D-tone

conveys the mob signal, thus confirming the significance of the first discovery.

29. C

Chart questions. Q. According to Figure 1,does the have a D minimum in each

call when itreacts to which of the following predator models?

Look for the black dot with the lowest ordinate in the figure, which represents
 the ruffed grouse.

30. A

A comprehensive analysis of the picture. Ask which of the following statements

about the is consistent with both the article and Figure 1.

A) Tits come close to the American kestrel Model, will go very close to this model;

model, and the red-tailed hawk model doesn't come so close. Articles andcharts

show that (the ordinates corresponding to American kestrel The corresponding

ordinate ratio are higher than those corresponding to red-tailed hawk),

corresponding to the high ordinates), the encountered and that when a tit

encounters an American kestrel model, Model is issued with more it lines to

emits a sound that contains more D tones The sound of the tone is more likely

to be right and is more likely to initiate The model initiates mobbing on the

American kestrel model(according to lines 62 to 63, mobbing is). Approach it

closely in large numbers),），and American kestrel belongs to the small size to a

small ， Line to that belongs to a large body predator,，red-tailed hawk

belongs to a large predator, conforming to lines 61 to 66.

B) The are right great horned owl The model is more likely to launch a mob attack

great horned owl There is a high probability of an attack。 In the chart, yes great

horned owl corresponding Toned ratio Cooper’s hawk little more, however great

horned owl Body size ratio great horned owl large, and according to article No

61 to 66，It should be small predator cause more D so it doesn't match the content

of the article，B Error.。

issued when the model is issued C) The It's number one tits emit a flight

response when they encounter the red-tailed hawk model(the flight here means

The line of the line until the first flight meaning, so a flight response "escape"),

so the a flight response is more likely to signal lines 28 through 29 than any other

（Here it is model. Because thered-tailed hawk is larger, according to the Larger

body size, so are not too afraid, no more than encountering other article, the are
 not too scared to send a bigger escape signal than when they encounter other

predator models. "Furthermore, the A tone does not reflect the A Tone is the

representative tone in the chart, which represents the alarm signal (lines 27 toto

29), so the chart does not support the C option.

D) Tits ignore the presence of large carnivorous raptors such as great horned

owl and red-tailed hawk Such a large carnivore raptor (please note.)(note that

bird of prey is a fixed term for raptors). From the articles and charts, just

making a sound with D The pitch will be a little less, not completely tones will be

a little less, not completely ignore These two both predators, so D error.

31. C

The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last

question, see the analysis of the last question

32. C

Chart questions. Q. According to Figure 2,what is the average number of calls

per flock of when encountering theCooper'shawk Cooper model?

Find that CooperCooper'shawk on the chart corresponds to a horizontal bar with

a horizontal coordinate of 60. Bv

Passage 4

33. D

Separate proof-seeking questions. Which sentence does the question prove

that some experts are skeptical of the ideas supported by the article?

The evidence is at No52 To.55，raise their eyebrows The corresponding

question is in the trunk skeptical。

raise one’s eyebrows That means “Raise your eyebrows to express surprise or

disagree. “to move one‘s ’eyebrows upwards in order to

 show surprise or disapproval。

34. C

Vocabulary questions. trait means "characteristics, especially human

characteristics"(distinguishing quality orcharacteristics). （

Attribute also means "the attribute, characteristic, or quality of a person or

thing" when it comes to nouns

（a quality or feature regarded as a characteristic or inherent part of someone

or something）

35. A

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask to discuss the purpose of the

experiment conducted by two Dutch scientists in 2009.

A)Correct, the2009 lab conclusions reinforce the 2008 experimental conclusions.

The 2008 experiment concluded that exposureto cold or hot coffee affects

people's ability to score a fictional stranger theydon't know, and the 2009

experiment concluded that exposure to cold and hot drinks affects people's

perception of the intimacy of an acquaintance. So it can be proved that exposure

to cold and hot things can affect people's mood, and thus affect people's

judgment of many things.

B) Wrongly, scientistshaven't changed their minds since) 2008.

C)) Wrongly, the2009 experiment did not challenge a basic concept of the 2008

experiment.

D) Wrong, not to mention the impact of the 2008 experimental design. Here note

means "lift... (to draw attention to) " meaning.

36. B

This is a common "enhanced, weakened question" in GMAT exams and is less

common in SAT. Ask which of the following is true (i.e., what happened in the
 2009 experiment) and what will weaken the conclusion of that experiment in 2009?

A)Many of the subjects, who held a hot drink for a moment and then remembered

to fight intimacy, were people who had known each other for a relatively short

time. If this is true, then it is equivalent to holding the hot drink, to the uncooked

people score intimacy, all hit a high score, indicating that hot drinks do have a

great impact on people's judgment.

B)Many of the subjects, first holding a cold drink for a moment, and then

remember that the person who fights intimacy is a less familiar person. If this is

true, then it is equivalent to holding a cold drink, to the less familiar people hit

the intimate score, hit a lower percentage, it may be because they do and think

of the person is not too familiar, that is, even if not first hold a cool drink, will

score lower. This suggests that people's judgment may not be influenced by cold

drinks, which contradicts the experimental conclusions in the article (that people

are affected by the cold heat of the drink they hold first), which weakens the

conclusions of the experiment. So option B is correct.

C) Many of the subjects held cold drinks for a） little time, and these subjects

did not usually drink cold drinks. Strictly speaking, the experiment only took a

drink, did not involve drinking, and the subject's usual habits have nothing to do.

So this does not affect the conclusion of the experiment.

D) Many of the subjects held a cold drink for a while, and they had a drink before

taking part in the experiment. This option is wrong and is still the same reason

that drinking a drink has nothing to do with experimentation, and that holding a

drink is only relevant.

37. A

Details. According to line corresponds to 79 lines of the correct option of the

subtle in the caption,，Then look at the context, and then you can find the

evidence at No ..then look at the context, and then you can find evidence in lines

82 to 83, mostly without our awareness corresponding to the correct option A of

 the unlikely to the response to the public.

38. A

Details. Ask the author what experiments she thinks she mentioned are

important, in part because of those experiments...?

A) Supported a new theory in a new field of study on the reasons why people

think about peacekeeping operations. Correct, the evidence is in the first 83

To.88，an emergent field: a new area of study，the core theory Corresponding

to a hypothesis。

B) It is important to note that scientists cannot fully predict the results of their

own research. Experiments are not designed to prove that scientists can't

predict their own results, and if scientists can fully predict their own results,

there's no need for research.

C) proves that people's impressions of each other are simply unpredictable.

The study concluded that "touching cold or hot things before making

judgments" affects people's judgment, not relationships.

D) Provide examples that can be used to discuss and evaluate some modern

research methods. There is nothing particularly novel about the methods of

these two experiments, the research methods are not the highlights of these two

experiments, the results of the study is.

39. D

The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last

question, see the analysis of the last question.

40. A

Chart questions. Ask the average difference between the person who took a cold

drink first and the person who took a hot drink first when giving a score on

intimacy.
 According to the chart, the corresponding ordinates of the two bars are

subtracted to give the answer is 1.

41. D

Chart questions. Q According to the chart, the person who took a hot drink first

experienced a stronger feeling than the person who took a cold drink first.

The chart shows that people who took hot drinks rated higher than those who

took cold drinks, while subjects rated themselves Score, so choose and others

for closeness, so they chose the synonym synonyms for closeness, intimacy.

The adjective form of option A, collegial, means "shared responsibility with

colleagues, shared responsibility）withcolleagues" (relating to or involving

shared responsibility, as among group of colleagues). "Shared responsibility

with colleagues, shared responsibility with colleagues."”（

42. C

Separate proof-seeking questions (comprehensive analysis of illustrations).

This question can be regarded as a separate proof-seeking question, can also

be regarded as a graphic comprehensive analysis question, is to ask candidates

to find which sentence in the article summarizes the data in the chart shows the

results. The chart shows that the person who held the hot drink for a second

gave closeness The score is better, corresponding to the No a better score,

corresponding to line 71 行 of the viewed person in mind as closer emotionally.

Passage 5

43. B

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask about the functionality of the second

natural paragraph (lines 7 through 12).

The second natural paragraph begins with Jousset himself said：“himself saying,

“I always wondered about the underlying mechanisms “and "I've been(curious)

 wondering about the mechanisms behind this." Wonder means desire or be

curious to know something, because curious,want toknow, began this research.

So this paragraph is talking about the researcher's motivation,，Corresponding

to the scientific options viewer's motivating the researchfor the Boption.

44. C

Vocabulary questions. Maintain here means "provide something necessary

tomake it survive"(providewith necessities for life orexistence).

Example.：The allowance covers the basic costs of maintaining a child.

This subsidy is enough for the basic cost of raising a child.

tend It means "care.” （care for or look after），It means maintain Close.

Example.：He tended plants on the roof.

He took care of the plants on the roof.

45. A

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Ask the rhetorical function of the sentence

on lines 22 through 23.

Although scientists know that a variety of crops mixed together, than a single

crop, the harvest is better, but only know this general conclusion, the specific

variety of crops how to match, scientists still do not know, so it is not scientific,

a variety of crops mixed soil in the end how, it is not very clear, to cultivate this

kind of soil, it is like art creation. Specifically, in lines 23 to 32, OK, said the

specific problem of previous research, that is, there is no explanation that can

produce beneficial microbial environment of the best mix ratio is not clear,

bacteria are too difficult to find, bacteria in the culture base (please note).the

specific problems identified in previous studies were that there was no clear

picture of the optimal mix that would produce a beneficial microbial environment,

that bacteria were too difficult to find, that bacteria did not survive well in media
 And. (note that both culture medium and growth medium mean "media"), and so

culture medium on. Josset and Latz's research turned to genes in the soil in an

attempt to solve these problems, so choose A.

46. D

Ask the author if the bacteria in the soil are elusive,what does she mean?

A) There are no bacteria in some soils. There is no mention in the article.

B) Scientists have not studied bacteria in depth with other microorganisms.

There is no mention of in the article

C) Shorter life than other bacteria. Line 29 although it is said that（some soil

bacteria do not survive very well in the medium (，But that doesn't mean they

live longer than other bacteria don’t grow well), this does not mean that they live

longer than other bacteria (short-lived).

D) Scientists are hard to find。 elusive The definition is "difficult to express (or

find, reach, remember).”（difficult to describe, find, achieve, or remember）。

47. B

Details. Which of the following innovations does the article praise Josset and

Latz's research?

A) A new type of bacteria has been found that can affect soil health.

B) A method has been designed to identify a specific bacterial activity.

C) Focus on pathogens in the soil rather than bacteria that are beneficial to the

soil.

D) A new test has been developed to distinguish between beneficial and harmful

bacteria.

B is the correct choice that corresponds to the claim in lines 39 - 43

The evidence, in lines 39 to 43, focuses on genes rather than bacteria, and on
 bacteria that inhibit soil pathogens. Here we review the entire article, which is

about an The article is about Germany experimental field in Jena, This place has

an experimental field from Germany, that has been in place for many years since

2002, so we know that a variety of crop hybrids can increase soil microbial

activity, and that some bacteria can help plants fight disease. Scientists want to

know exactly how a variety of crops can be mixed, first by studying bacteria in

the soil to figure out the problem. But it was later found that bacteria in the soil

tended not to survive when moved to a medium for study, and sometimes the

two plants added a bacterium to the soil, so even finding the bacteria would not

indicate which plant contributed more to soil improvement.

48. C

The question of seeking proof. Ask the evidence of the answer to the last

question, see the analysis of the last question.

49. A

The experiment in Jena, Germany, was useful for Josset and Latz, and what did

a Jena experiment offer?

A) A variety of soil samples with different microorganisms.

B) Historical data on soil many years ago.

C) Experimental facilities for the cultivation of bacteria.

D) A tool for extracting DNA from soil samples.

According to lines 44 to 47 of the article ,Josset and Latz Doing research is from

did the research by taking soil samples from Jena's place without historical data,

facilities, or tools.

50. C

Josset and Latz draw some conclusions about what is the best way to prevent

soil pathogens from harming grains. What allowed them to draw these
 conclusions? (This question actually asks the candidate to summarize the

process of the Josset and Latz experiments.) .

A) One experiment showed that grass plants produced a large number of DAPG

and PRNs,，Another experiment confirmed that grass plants produce the best

and another experiment confirmed that grass plants produced the best DAPG

and PRN ratios. Participating in the experiment are a mix of plants, not just grass

plants. A Error.

B) One experiment confirmed a relationship between soil health and legumes,

and another confirmed that beets can counter the effects of legumes on soil

(meaning that beets affect soil can counteract the effects of legumes on soil).

The article does not mention. B Error.

C) One experiment showed that a number of different plant mixing combinations

produced different amounts of DAPG and PRN,，Another experiment provided

information about what kind of hybrid planting combination could be produced

while another experiment provided some specific information about the optimal

ratio of DAPG and PRN. C is correct. Lines 52 through The line begins with

how the second experiment is done, and line 59 tells the results of the first

experiment (indicating that the hybrid does produce of the article tell the results

of the first experiment (showing that hybrids do produce DAPG and PRN),），

From the first starting with lines 66, and from lines 75 to 86, the The line tells the

results of the second experiment (indicating that it will be produced). results of

the second experiment (indicating the genes that produce DAPG and PRN, which

match the ratio and prevent disease best).

D) One experiment showed that PRN was It's vital to soil health, another

experiment proves critical to soil health, and another showed that DAPG actually

does more harm to plants than previous results suggest. The article does not

mention thatD is wrong.

51. C
 Separate proof-seeking questions. Which， sentence proves that Josset and

Latz's findings Latz The findings challenge some of the most reasonable

assumptions about soil health （ challenge some of the very reasonable

assumptions about soil health(the assumption That means is that the thing is

accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof, whichcan be translated

here)?

The evidence is in lines 59 to 63, OK, this sentence is said, in which says that

one of the findings of Josset and the question is in the trunk Latz's One of the

findings is study is somewhat counterintuitive, i.e. contrary to people's intuition,

the Instead.，intuition and the assumption in the inscription are synonyms, it's

synonyms， "counter"and the challengein the inscription Corresponds.

52. D

The subject of the rhetorical purpose. Q What does it do to quote another

scientist on lines 87 through 92?

The scientist said, "If the mechanism found in this study is true, then we have

more reason to invest in multi-plant studies and multi-crop combination studies

in agriculture." "This is a potential practical application of the results of this

study.

2020.03 Asia Pacific Grammar Reviews:

This set of grammar questions in the pure grammar point in the right moment,

moderate difficulty, all test points are the knowledge points we have speaking in

class, but part of the chapter to understand the problem is difficult, need careful

consideration. From the current set of the latest sets of questions, the difficulty of

chapter understanding seems to increase slightly, need to cause enough attention,

students after the preparation of the key must include chapter understanding

questions, that is, pay attention to training their reading and understanding ability,

really read the article, rather than rely on individual words to do the problem.

1. C

Merge sentences. The most concise and correct expression of the C option is that

the first two sentences are time relations, and the second half is the time adverb

of the first half.

2.B

The symmetry of the parallel structure, in which three verbs can make appear side

by side,，So these three verbs have to be unified in form, so you can only choose

reach,，acknowledge,，learn, so the three verbs have to be unified, so only B can

be selected to keep the learn and the first two verbs formally symmetrical.

3.C

The main theme of the paragraph. The paragraph as a whole is about how S 和

and E organize related activities at home, reflecting the DRC's task of providing a

community for local writers and artists A cannot be chosenbecause the

easterncoastal cities are not mentioned below, nor is there any mention of who

the DRC is sponsoring. B cannot be chosenbecause the following does not reflect

the process by which peoplewere originally extremely sad, but eventually came

out of grief. Note that people starting to participate in activities can not be

understood as people out of grief, choose B words to reflect the change of

 mentality process, and not below,and B option is that the person involved in the

funeral out of grief, and the following does not show that the person involved in

the funeral was the person who participated in the funeral. D cannot be

selectedbecause S and E most worshipped are not written And. below.

4.C

Fixed match. So... so... That's... that's a So much so that。

5.B

start down. Below is how PS recalls how YK(a god-level person) instructs itself to

modify poetry. So the corresponding point of view sentence should be to

participate in these activities writers will guide these seminars and guide some

young writers. (Although the next sentence does not explicitly say that PS Is a

young writer, but according to ia young writer, according to the word "reacall"it

can be said that PS It's been a few years since I took part in this event, and there

are is some years away from participating in the event, and there is YK to guide

him on how to delete some unnecessary words, so it is reasonable to infer that he

should be young and inexperienced.) .

6.C

The statement order is always used in the clause. What guides here is the guest

clause after the verb experience, so AB is not selected（(AB is the question order).

D The last question mark is wrong, the punctuation at the end of the sentence is

determined by the main sentence, and here the main sentence is the statement

sentence.

7.B

fixed held. chance Nouns should be answered chance to do something The

opportunity to do something Or chance of doing something So to choose A's

words need to be connecting Add the front of。

8.A

Amassing a library of works by the African American writers matches the claim in

choice A

9.A
 The principle of simplicity,A is the most concise. The BCD means the same thing

but it's long-winded.

10.C

This refers to DRC so it should be used。

11.B

Full text conclusions. The full text is that the DRC has made people pay attention

to a lot of African American works, many up-and-down poets, writers, performers.

12.D

The principle of simplicity. ABCD means the same thing, but D is the most concise.

13.A

The same word at the end of the sentence, connected by a colon.

14.D

The choice of a clause-from-sentence relationship word. The bodies of water here

make a place adverb in the clause, so you should choose where to use the

relationship word.

15.C

Logical words. On the other hand table comparison。

16.B

Word meaning analysis. Perspective is "perspective",prospective is "future,

potential, promising"(in accordance with the text, just choose it),prescriptive is

"prescriptive, specified",proscriptive is "exiled, deprived of human rights,

prohibited"

17.C

Punctuation rules that go side by side should be X, Y, and Z Here is the commercial

diving school side by side with a dive military school and a college, so follow the

rules of this punctuation.

18.B

Select the transition sentence. The previous sentence said that in order to obtain

the employment,the future commercial diver must obtain the appropriate

qualification certificate from the appropriate school. Then take the transition
 sentence of option B and say there's a lot to learn when you say training. The last

sentence of the last paragraph explains why you should learn so much, because

you have to deal with all kinds of problems every day.

19.C

Chart questions. Find the construction industry mentioned in the original text in

the chart, with the corresponding number 52820.

20.D

Chart questions, check the options one by one, and only D's data fits the chart.

21.A

Express style. BCD or spoken or s talked about.

22.A

Pronouns to pay attention to human consistent and single plu number has been,

the front is said job seekers,so here with them.

23.D

The tenses are consistent, and the context is generally past.

24.A

The name MR here is a qualified modification of chemist-archeologist, which

cannot be separated by a comma, nor can the following predicate be separated by

a comma.

25.D

Word meaning analysis. Ascertain means "to find out the true or correct

information about something" in line with the meaning of the text. Fathom means

"to understand or find an explanation for something", and in the original text MR

wanted to know how old art was, not to explain why art was so old.

26.C

The next sentence is that MR and his team are eager to find a nondestructive

method that doesn't harm art, and their very traditional approach to the C option

will be damaged.

27.A

Merge sentences. A The most concise and correct meaning.

28.A

Word meaning analysis. Site means address. Cite is a reference, sight is a field of

vision, and citation is a reference.

29.C

Unqualified clause from the sentence to do insertion, followed by a dash, so the

front can only be accompanied by a dash.

30.D

Sentence sorting (insertion). This innovation refers to the innovative method

described in the original paragraph, so it should be put in the end to sum it up

very well.

31.B

The next sentence is not about the new method and the traditional method

measurement results are consistent, so do not choose A. There is also no mention

below of WL's findings in the mid-twentieth century, which did not select C.

There's no way to say below whether neither method can date anything from

50,000 years ago so don't choose D. The following is about things that were

previously not dated by traditional methods and can now bedated, so choose date

B.

32.C

Choose the transition sentence, the previous sentence said that people used to

use traditional methods dare not date something. Then take C,"Now these things

can be dated", and then the next sentence, the researchers will know more.

33.D

The principle of simplicity.

34.A

Strapped toone'swrist is an insertion that is symmetrical before and after the

comma.

35.D

The people are consistent. Using our and we before and after,so we are also used

here.
36.D

The principle of simplicity. Summarize and encapsulate are a meaning, just keep

one.

37.B

The main meaning is the same. The main language of this sentence is one

problem,so the predicate verb uses singerum is.

38.A

Merge sentences. A's adverb is the most concise and correct.

39.C

The main point of this passage is that the data collected by these devices may not

be reliable, so choose C. Carry no official assurance means that the data may

not be reliable.

40.A

The singration of all grids and nouns, because the manufacturer There's one in

front has a different，所以 in front of it, so the manufacturers have to add a plulu

number, which means "manufacturer's To add equipment" so "manufacturer" is

followed by all grids, and manufacturers "device" is not used.

41.D

The last paragraph says that data is not guaranteed to be accurate, and this

paragraph says that even if people know the exact information, it can't be. D This

transition sentence just reflects these two layers of meaning.

42C

option C is correct because C says the activity when track is awake and the activity

when you are asleep

43.B

Logical hosts are consistent. Only Pierce, the master of B, can make a learning

action.

44.A

Add or subtract sentences. This question is more difficult. We can reverse the
reasoning from the options, do not，So you can't select B,，The author also did

not analyze why in the full text the author in the full text also did not analyze why

activity-tracking devices are so popular, so even if this sentence is to be added, it

is not So popular, so even if this sentence is to be added, it is not to support the

author's analysis in this regard, because the author does not have such a thing at

all to support the author in this aspect of the relevant analysis, because the author

does not have such analysis,so it is not possible to contribute to. Don't ，Again,

this sentence is already in the next paragraph, there is no provision It’s no use

saying you can't go to choose, so that's it C, because the point of view of the last

paragraph is not that all the data is useless, so this sentence says some data is

It's useful, and it doesn't count useful, also does not count as a business,

again,this sentence has been located in the next paragraph, there is no provision

to say that can not go to the content of the last paragraph, can be the next

paragraph is a turning point in the last paragraph. Don't choose D,because D says

this sentence has Say this and discuss this article nothing to do with the

usefulness of devices discussed in The usefulness of the class is irrelevant, this

sentence is exactly what is said this article, and this sentence in class is exactly

the question of the usefulness of devices, so it's not irrelevant information, so

choose A. It is normal to make a concession in the last paragraph, it is necessary

to do, reflecting the neutrality and objectivity of the author of the article.
