Passage 1

1. Select A. The subject of the purpose. The beginning of this paragraph, I love
how full her home felt expressed a favorite mood, here full on the one hand is a
description of the actual decoration of the room, on the other hand is to describe
an atmosphere, the end mention of these arrangements cover up the house
scratches, stains, cracks and other negative things, suggesting that the previous
description of a positive warm atmosphere, so A is most consistent with the
description. B wrong in the text describes the object is more orderly, and does
not highlight the confusion of this point; C wrong in this point has nothing to do
with the plot of the text; D wrong in the text is a daily necessities, is a lot of
families can see the arrangement, no Celia is the evidence of collectibles.
2. Select D Details. Line 46-48 makes it clear that Celia said Q dyed her hair, and
that's not news to me at all.
3. Select A Details. The logic of line 51-54 Celia's words is clear: Q is easy to do,
but that's because she doesn't know how to get along with people, so only
option A fits best. B and C wrong in the text did not mention, D wrong in Clia
more emphasis on the good side of Q rather than the aspect of ignorance of
balance, so impose is not the point she wants to express.
4. Select C. . Text inquiry questions. Line 59-62 Cerlia says And there's's
Mayor,who you met can see that the author has seen Mayor before, and the other
three articles are not mentioned. Note that the second half of option C here says
that the author has not seen Enrique, although it is not clearly stated in the text,
but when we see two people, just saying "I recognize this one" means that we
don't know the other one.
5. Select B. . Text inquiry questions, parsing as above.
6. Select C. . The subject of the purpose. Do this kind of problem must not be brain-
filling, here Cerlia simply want to use the mouth of others to express how
-1-
 different their two sons are, the other three options have no evidence, the easier
to choose the wrong D wrong in the atmosphere is not sense tension, the
description is too exaggerated.
7. Select B. . Text inquiry questions. 79-87 There is a more complex description,
Celia is not speaking of she is going without knowing the answer, but prefers not
to say it out loud,the atmosphere is embarrassed whenthe author says it is to Go
Evers, and then when the author explains that this is only temporary, Celia says
you don't have to explain that she understands the situation. A wrong in Cerlia
asked the author whether there are any other children, CD wrong in the text did
not mention.
8. Select A Text inquiry questions, parsing as above.
9. Select D The subject of the purpose. Combined with the full text, the article
describes a conversation between two mothers with the same experience, and
the penultimate paragraph of Cerlia's words, what parents will do, suggests that
she and the author are both, in response to the author's statement that she came
here to get her daughter to study at Evers. A wrong in although Celia ended with
a question but a counter-question, not let the author say it; B wrong in remind,
not to remind the author; C wrong in the prospered did not mention.
10. Select C. . Vocabulary questions. With exclusion, A wrong in religion is not the
subject of the full text of the discussion, B wrong in the author is celia as a friend
rather than authority, D wrong in the previous never mentioned eloquent this
point, and the end of the text this benediction emphasizes the meaning it
represents, D belongs to the performance.

Passage 2
11. Select B. The purpose of the chapter. Lines 50-53 are exactly the same as B's
description, and the whole article discusses the details of the problem that
would make them more moderate and neutral on the issue than before, and A is
not at the heart of the article.
12. Select B. . The structure of the article. The first two paragraphs of the article
account for this phenomenon, that is, the experimental background, the third
paragraph describes the researchers decided to use the experiment to judge the
beginning of the hypothesis, and then by describing the experimental process
and results to draw conclusions, the last paragraph said that the experiment
provides a more objective way of thinking.
-2-
13. Select A Vocabulary questions. Here is obviously the meaning of the wrong idea,
that is, people do not have an objective understanding of their extreme views, B
dream, C deliberately false, D ghost, are not in line with the meaning of the text.
14. Select C. Vocabulary questions. Shape is a verb that refers to shaping, that is,
the meaning of influence and change, which in this case affects a person's
behavior. Plan A, Plan B, D modification, none of which are accurate.
15. Select C. . The subject of the purpose. This paragraph details the process of the
experiment, that is, summarizes the details of the experiment. In the SAT Science
and Social Science article, basically all the descriptions of the process are
independent of the hypothesis that proved the beginning of the experiment and
require results and analysis to be judged, so A is wrong. The article's
perspective did not comment on the necessity of the experiment at first, so B is
wrong. This paragraph discusses asking subjects to describe the problem in the
experiment, not the problem itself.
16. Select D Text inquiry questions. As can beseen from lines 4 4-49, there is a
detailed description of the experiment→ finding that you know very little about
the details of the problem→ realizing that your previous views were not based on
sufficient information→ and that the firm extreme position was weakened,
meaning that most people with extreme views had less detail, as opposed to the
D description, so it would surprise the experimenters most if D happened.
17. Select D Text inquiry questions, parsing as above.
18. Select B. . Details. The last paragraph of the article mentions this method of
detailing events toavoid extreme views,i.e. lines 7 6-79.
19. Select D Text inquiry questions, parsing as above.
20. Select C. Chart questions. Theself-rating indicated in the figure, combined with
the article, refers to the subject's ability to rate his or her own judgment, and
after being asked to describe a policy, the subject realizes that his or her
understanding of the problem is incomplete, so he or she is no longer so
confident in his or her understanding of the policy that his or her score drops.
21. Select A Chart questions. Lines 63-68 of the article say that simply asking the
subjects to list the reasons does not affect their position, and the right side of
the chart shows that the subjects who list the reasons have not changed before
or after.

Passage 3
-3-
22. Select C. The purpose of the chapter. The article discusses the experiment of
studying plants to protect themselves by camouflage. A wrong in
photosynthesis, B wrong in attempts and means, the article does not describe
multiple methods, D wrong in compaaring.
23. Pick B. Details. 2-7 lines of blend in to their environments, fitness corresponding
to the dry provide an evolutionary advantage.
24. Select D Details. 14-15 lines of variation in pigmentation as a means of escaping
predation has received little attention consistent with the description of option D.
25. Select A Details. The example of tigers and dragonflies here refers to the use of
color as a disguise, in contrast to the previous use of color as other tools. B is
wrong not to compare animals and plants,but rather to list the commonality of
camouflage;C is wrong to discuss plants at the center of the article, not to apply
the conclusions to animals;
26. Select B. . Text inquiry questions, the dry question is how many plants get
energy will affect their characteristics, the text 25-30 lines say 行说到
monotropsis odorata No need (like many plants). does not need (like many
plants) photometrics, so there is no restriction on color, so the color of the
general plant can be reversed is subject to nutrient requirement.
27. Select C. . Text inquiry questions, parsing as above.
28. Select A Vocabulary questions. In this case, there is a wider choice, so A is the
closest. B obviously, C tolerant, spacious, are not in line with the intention.
29. Select C. . Vocabulary questions. Work here refers to the meaning of the effect,
that is, the effect of disguise, synonyms have fusion, act, play(as a role) and so
on. A change, B influence, D manipulation are not satisfactory.
30. Select A Chart questions. According to the dry question to find the petalat6
00nm wavelength, thatis, the horizontal coarse point break line at the
horizontalcoordinates of 6 00, corresponding to the selection of 5%.
31. Select D Chart questions, you can see that the brake part and the impact part of
the reflectivity is very different, A error in the brake part is significantly higher
than the flower part, B wrong in the not seeing the restation, C error in the leaf
part has obviously been higher than the section.
32. Select B. . The chart question, the trunk says 2007 corresponds to the right
image, intact corresponds to the light column, the corresponding ordinate
isabout0 .17.

-4-
Passage 4
33. Select C. Text inquiry questions. Line 10 talks about national assembly,followed
by line 13-15 that if the leaders of the national assembly seek prestige (bidder
means bidding, in this case, to please the people), then their talents will be lost,
that is, to advise leaders not to seek public approval.
34. Select C. . Text inquiry questions, parsing as above.
35. Select B. . Vocabulary questions. This refers to the fact that leaders have
become something that is controlled by the people, not a guide for leaders to
move forward. A representative, C mentor, D pilot, can not show the author
wants to express the contrast.
36. Select D Details. What lines 18-31 say is that those who make rational and
moderate decisions will be doubted, accused of cowardice, overtaken by his
more popular rivals, and it is clear that this force is fragile and easily weakened
by the shadows, corresponding to what D calls "rational, but easily weakened".
Saul means damage or weaken (someone or something), especially gradually or
insidiously (hidden destruction; gradual weakening).
Specifically in lines 24 to 25, "Moderation will be stigmatized as the virtue of
cowards; and compromise corresponding to the moderate positions in the
question dry; Stigmatized corresponds to the underrmined in the correct option.
None of the other options articles mention it.
37. Select D Vocabulary questions. Sober original intention has sober, rational
meaning, here refers to making rational decisions, A severe, B has the role of
rehabilitation, C simple and unpretentant, are not in line with the meaning of the
text.
38. Select B. . Details. The last paragraph begins with a reference to
britain'sconstitutional system as positive and valuable, with lines6 6-68 in the
middle saying that improvements should be accompanied by protection,
meaning that Britain's success lies in protecting the constitutional system. A
tone is wrong, Burke is praising theUnited Kingdom, C is wrong in Burke has
mentioned the system of recommending the United Kingdom to other countries,
but this is not the central idea of the last paragraph, D wrongat 6 6 lines there is
recognition that some improvement is needed.
39. Select D Here is an analogy, according to the original style of the building repair
is to reform the original characteristics and core of the government,

-5-
 corresponding to the D option to maintain the original characteristics. The other
three options are not mentioned in the text.
40. Select B. . Text inquiry questions. Text inquiry questions, parsing as above. 81-
83 says to imitate the caution of the former, to protect the things left behind by
the forebeate, and this paragraph 69-70 also refers to the follow my ancestors,
so it can be judged that the author most respectsthe former British leaders,
because they have a constitutional 行也提到 follow system.
41. Select D Text inquiry questions, parsing as above.
42. SelectA Details. The author is completely negative about the French set and
thinks that the Revolution did more harm than good, so at the end it is said that
the French think they have gained the light, but in fact it is ignorant and ironic.
B sympathy, C jealousy, D fear, if the first half of the article may still be
sympathy, at the end of this sentence is completely impossible, because to see
the second half of the sentence of the negative.

Passage 5
43. Select B. . The third paragraph begins by saying that there are other
hypoththotics explaining phenomena such as climate cooling, such as the
prolonged cold caused by 15 lines of ocean currents, meaning that meteorite
impacts are not necessarily the only cause of cooling.
44. Select D Details. The end of the first article says that the determination of the
composition of matter is evidence of an asteroid impact, and only option D is
from 1. Ingredient angle, 2. From the point of view of Earth's comparison with
asteroids, Amentions ingredients butthey are present in large quantities before
Y D, not on asteroids; B contradicts the original; and C talks about the time of
temperature drop, not evidence of the impact hypothesis.
45. Select C. . Details. The first ending says remains of wildfires... After the impact
corresponds to the rapidly spreading fires of the C option.
46. Select C. . Vocabulary questions. Here is the meaning of strong opposition, A
suddenly, B immediately, D deliberately, are not in line with the intention.
47. SelectA Text inquiry questions. What is asked here is what evidence is used,
that is,not inference, but actual proof, so the inference about fire andnano-
diamonds at the end of the first paragraph is excluded. 62-69 it is said that only
three of the 29 places were found to havea formation time of Y D There are only
three places where the formation time is Yby precise measurement methods,
-6-
 and the others were earlier or later than Y D, i.e. not in time with the impact，
Everything else is better than that hypothesis.
48. Select D Text inquiry questions, parsing as above.
49. Select B. . Vocabulary questions. The question is what nuanced contrasts with,
which means that Meltzer's problem with the meteorite impact hypothesis is
that the explanation is too simple and crude, trying to explain a complex
phenomenon in one of the most intuitive and crude ways (climate cooling, fire,
etc.), just as no one likes a more detailed and complex explanation when
making a movie, so the nuanced comparison here is the popular spleimple.
50. Select A Compare questions. The second refutes the hypothesis mentioned in
the first article, which questions the possibility of a meteorite impact
hypothesis. B wrong in the first article did not completely solve the problem, C
wrong in the second did not talk about possible applications, on the contrary, it
is more about the irrationality of the first article, D option tone is wrong.
51. Select D Both authors agree that the hypothesis is controversial, and neither
supporters nor opponents have fully convinced the other. At the end of the
second article, reference is made to theimpact proponents see unmoved by the
new study, which meansthat even if the opposition produces evidence of
measurements, supporters still believe that themeteorite hypothesis is
possible. The first line 13 also says nootall will be convinced, whichmeans that
not everyone isconvinced.
52. Select A Since the second is refuting the first, if the results of the second are
accurate, it indicates that most of the glass and carbon either of the detection
site was formed at the time of the oryr later or by hundreds of years, that is, not
at the time of YD. B contradicts the article, which is notmentioned in the C D
article.

writing

1. B. Be concise and avoid spoken expression. The AD option is too long, and
theC option is not formal.
2. C. Add sentences. The front and back sentences are all about the West Indies
University graduation ceremony, and the added sentence is that the university
was established in 1948 by a royal charter and does not match the center and
time of the context and is therefore not added.
3. D. Logical relationships. The previous sentence was that everyone expected
Martin Luther King to speak at the graduation ceremony, and the second was
that the Jamaican audience was well aware of Dr. King's contribution to the civil
rights movement. There is no obvious logical relationship between the two
sentences, so delete. .

-8-
4. C. Word meaning analysis. Preceding is an adjective that says "before", In front
of," indicates "precedent" for Steps, procedures represent "precedents."
"precedent", proceedings for "events, Events, activities",，procedures for
precedents “ "steps, procedures", and here should be procedures “ " event of
the day", so proceedings are most appropriate.
5. A. Adrothytic preseques. Without even consulting notes are the accompanying
adverb of the main sentence, broken with a comma.
6. D. Tense. Jamaica's independence is an action that was done before the
formation of a government, so ABC can be excluded when it is completed in
the，past,and the D option becomes anaccompanying ad english structure,and
having done can indicate that it has been completed correctly.
7. B. Add sentences. The opening sentence of the paragraph states that Dr. King's
speech compares Jamaica with the United States, both of which have faced
similar challenges. The second sentence is a further explanation of the first
sentence, adding that the challenge facing the United States is very similar to
Jamaica and can be added.
8. C. Prepositional usage. To understand from the meaning of a sentence, the
sentence says that through Indicates " pass Dr. King Emphasizes the spirit that
needs to be in the face of future challenges and is therefore used emphasizes
the spirit that needs to be in the face of future；from Indicates " from”，for
challenges,so it is not appropriate to use in face; ”
9. D. Combining sentences. Strive to be concise and ensure that logical
relationships are correct. ABC logic is wrong, the original text is side-by-side
relationship.
10. B. Building a new nation is a qualified modification of people, a post-set term
for people. If A is also modified but will become an accompanying ad lithon, the
meaning of the whole build part will change completely, you can refer to the
classroom teacher explained the difference between the post-set and
accompanying ad lithos.
11. C. Specific requirements. The title needs to be linked to a paragraph about the
impact of Martin Luther King's speech on the audience, so here's the audience
12. B. Same language. Iso language. Duke of.... Meiningen is the same word as
George II, and called... Meiningen is a small German principality's post-set, an
insertion from duke until Meiningen, with dashes already used in front and only
one dash at the back (the insertion symbols should be used in pairs).
-9-
13. A. Cause the following. The previous sentence said that Gerog II oversees
Overseeing all aspects of theatre construction, the verse says a lot every aspect
of the construction of the theatre, and the erst sentence says that in many
principalities there will be a palace theatre, and the local duke will send a
director to oversee it. So option A suggests that this phenomenon, overseen by
Prince George II himself, is rare.
14. D. Transition sentences. The last paragraph shows that George II not only
oversaw the construction of the theater, but also directed the performance of
the actors and the design and choreography of the stage as director himself.
The second sentence of the next paragraph says the effect of the performance
"captivating the metropolitan audience", so choose D, on full display "full
display". ”
15. D. Apostrophe usage. Production refers to a performance in sing sings,set is
the stage background, does not have all the grids, does not need to add an
apostrophe.
16. B. Add sentences. The sentence is in the description of George II arranged the
stage background, the addition of the sentence is a description of its specific
details, belong to the relevant information, can be added.
17. D. Parallel structures. clothing, footwear, and headdresses are all three parallel.
18. C. Combining sentences. The second sentence is a description of Caesar, and
thus becomes the most concise of the who-guided idiom clauses.
19. C. The thrust of the paragraph. From the latest two examples, George IInot only
orchestrated Caesar's death, but also the climax of the whole show, cliactic
murder(second sentence), but also carefully planned Caesar's chaotic scene
after his murder(third sentence). So corresponding to the C option with equal
intricacy. .
20. B. Accompanying ad english. The remaining options aresentence.
21. D. Word meaning analysis. Here represents a theater critic comment,
comments，observe as vi. . When the object verb is not used, it can be
expressed as comment, remark.
22. D. Logical discourse. The action of inspiring directors is made by George II.
23. C. Pronouns. Pronouns here refer to white-rumped munias,which are pludic
nouns.
24. B. Adverb. The fixed clause of the who boot is decorated here by Bengalese
finch,and the rest of theoptions are sentence fragment.
- 10 -
25. B. Colon test point. The colon here indicates that the second half is not a
sentence and therefore cannot be used with a semi-sign or a full stop.
26. A. Comparisons of the same kind. The comparison object should be the song
complexity of Bengalese finch and the song complexity of white-rumped munia,
so the second half must be structured with that of.
27. A. Combining sentences. Option A uses option.... over.... Structure, retains the
basic structure and correct logical relationship of the original sentence, and is
concise.
28. C. Logical relationships. The previous sentence said that song complexity must
occur on the condition that there is pressure to find a mate, so there is no song
complexity when the pressure is low,which is causal.
29. D. Word meaning analysis. Here is the composition of the analysis, side by side
with the measure of the second half of the sentence. Dissect means "de
planing", ”， trace means "retrospective", diagnose "diagnosis"
arenotappropriate.
30. A. Chart questions. Mountainous is less than 0.6,， urban is around 0.7, so A
is correct.
31. B. Chart questions. urban and agricultural are significantly higher than
mountainous.
32. D. Guest clause. The main guest structure does not require punctuation.
33. A. Keynote - Specific requirements. The article focuses on brown finch being
influenced by different factors in the face of mate selection, affected by different
factors; the questioner requires a larger scientific contextto put the situation in
a larger context, and combined with thesetwo requirements,option A meets the
meaning of the question.
34. C. The main thrust of the article. This article focuses on the collection of farm
information by drones(remotely piloted aircraft).
35. B. A guest clause. This is not a question sentence, but a such as phrase, the
punctuation at the end of the sentence is determined by the main sentence,
here the main sentence is not a question sentence. And the clause must be a
statement sequence (D is the question order, so even if the end of the sentence
with the right period can not be selected), so choose A.
36. A. Cause the following. The second half of the sentence mainly talks about the
remote control aircraft collected information can be produced color maps, used

- 11 -
 to show the growth rate of crops, weeds, pests and the impact of climate
disasters. Therefore, the A option offers analysis services.
37. D. Parallel structures. Can has a comma before it, which proves that there is an
insertion in front of it, so because fly... As insertions, before and after with
commas,are less expensive, provide..., and can take... The three are parallel.
38. A. Transitional sentences. The previous sentence said that Hediger has a large
farm that validates the benefits of drones. The verse is that she expects to be
able to identify problems faster with a remote control and reduce the amount of
herbicide used, leaving a significant amount of overhead. So a transition
sentence is needed in the middle to show that Hediger is using drones because
of the damage caused to her by weeds' problems.
39. A. Tense. The verb in the main sentence is estimated,so what is expected is
what will happen in the future, in general in the future.
40. B. Dash test points. The phrase after considerably is used to add the estimated
amount of cost saved, with the remaining options being fragment.
41. D. Avoid spoken expression. BC is a spoken esofa method, andoptionA is too
long/formal.
42. B. The analysis of the meaning of words. The original sentence means "for
some objections can be resolved with .... " so address, means”, "handle,
resolve”.
43. C. Fixed matching. it is important for... To do ...
44. C. Sentence position. The added sentence is about the security implications of
drone, and this information is in paragraph drone 4.
