4、16 有 4-6 篇文章，12-13 道题，与笔试情况相符，可作为基础训练材料。从练习 17开始，每个练习有 10 道题，涉及 4 篇文章（1 长 3 短或 4 篇皆为短文章）和 1 个逻辑单题的短文章，与现有的机考光盘情况相符，我们预期这是实际考试的情况，可作为模拟训练材料。 按照现有的光盘资料，含有长文章的 Section 的阅读量会比全部由短文章组成的 Section 的阅读量多 200-300 字，这种不对等情况令人感到困惑，请考生留意。）3. 一个练习的做题时间可控制在 15-17 分钟；如果能够在此时间内完成练习 1-16，则完成练习 17 及以后的内容自然时间可以保证。按照目前机

5、考光盘的情况，一个语文 Section 会有填空题和阅读题各10 道。10 道填空题中包含 4 道 6 选 2 的同义词填空题和 6 道正常填空题（5 选 1 填空，以及多空格填空），10 道阅读题中包含 1 道逻辑单题与 9 道正常阅读题。4. 实际机考时，2 个语文部分仅会有一个 Section 会有一篇长文章；但为增加训练难度，本材料也许连续 2 个 Section 都出现长文章，其出现频率比考试时略高。此外，每个 section 预计会有同义词题 1-2道；在设计时考虑到同义词题较容易，故减少出题率，就此而言，本材料或许会比真实考试题目略难。另外，按光盘情况，考试时或许出现高亮句子或短

6、语，本练习材料未能在形式上完全反映。以上或更多可能存在的差别，请考生留意。5. 建议以 2-4 个练习为单位进行循环训练。首先按照考试要求时间连续做掉 2-4 个练习，然后反复再做 3-4 遍，这时主要目标不是做对，而是总结文章结构及出题规律，之后再转向新的 2-4 练习，依次下去。6. 欢迎本材料使用者以各种方式就本材料的内容提出改善建议。7. 本材料仅供私人学习交流使用，请勿用作商业用途。8. 祝你们快乐！你们终将获得快乐。（Exercise 1Questions 1 to 3 are based on the following reading passage.Immediately r

In these species, fertilized eggsLine develop into females and unfertilized eggs into males.1. The author suggests that the work of Fisher andHamilton was similar in that both scientists c(

Like Fisher,Hamilton looked for an evolutionarily stable strategy,but he went a step further in recognizing that he waslookin

According to the passage, Pessen indicates that all ofthe

Thus the anaerobic energy reserves of a verte-brate are proportional to the size of the animal. If, forexample, some predators had attacked a 100-tondinosaur, normally
