GRE阅读真题之OG OG-1 Passage 12 For hot desert locations with access to seawater, a new greenhouse design generates freshwater and cool air. Oriented to the prevai

8、ling wind, the front wall of perforated cardboard, moistened and cooled by a trickle of seawater pumped in, cools and moistens hot air blowing in. This cool, humidified air accelerates plant growth; little water evaporates from leaves. Though greenhouses normally capture the heat of sunlight, a doub

9、le-layered roof, the inner layer coated to reflect infrared light outward, allows visible sunlight in but traps solar heat between the two layers. This heated air, drawn down from the roof, then mixes with the greenhouse air as it reaches a second sea-water-moistened cardboard wall at the back of th

10、e greenhouse. There the air absorbs more moisture, which then condenses on a metal wall cooled by seawater, and thus distilled water for irrigating the plants collects. For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply. 1. It can be inferred that the proce

11、ss described in the passage makes use of which of the following? A. The tendency of hot air to rise B. The directional movement of wind C. The temperature differential between the sea and the desert For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply. 2. It

12、can be inferred that the greenhouse roof is designed to allow for which of the following? A. The avoidance of intense solar heat inside the greenhouse B. The entry of sunlight into the greenhouse to make the plants grow C. The mixture of heated air with greenhouse air to enhance the collection of mo

13、isture GRE阅读真题之OG OG-1 Passage 13 Many critics of Emily Bronts novel Wuthering Heights see its second part as a counter point that comments on, if it does not reverse, the first part, where a romantic reading receives more confirmation. Seeing the two parts as a whole is encouraged by the novels sop

14、histicated structure, revealed in its complex use of narrators and time shifts. Granted that the presence of these elements need not argue for an authorial awareness of novelistic construction comparable to that of Henry James, their presence does encourage attempts to unify the novels heterogeneous

15、 parts. However, any interpretation that seeks to unify all of the novels diverse elements is bound to be somewhat unconvincing. This is not because such an interpretation necessarily stiffens into a thesis (although rigidity in any interpretation of this or of any novel is always a danger), but bec

16、ause Wuthering Heights has recalcitrant elements of undeniable power that, ultimately, resist inclusion in an all-encompassing interpretation. In this respect, Wuthering Heights shares a feature of Hamlet. 1. According to the passage, which of the following is a true statement about the first and se

17、cond parts of Wuthering Heights? A. The second part has received more attention from critics. B. The second part has little relation to the first part. C. The second part annuls the force of the first part. D. The second part provides less substantiation for a romantic reading. E. The second part is

18、 better because it is more realistic. 2. Which of the following inferences about Henry Jamess awareness of novelistic construction is best supported by the passage? A. James, more than any other novelist, was aware of the difficulties of novelistic construction. B. James was very aware of the detail

19、s of novelistic construction. C. Jamess awareness of novelistic construction derived from his reading of Bront. D. Jamess awareness of novelistic construction has led most commentators to see unity in his individual novels. E. Jamess awareness of novelistic construction precluded him from violating

20、the unity of his novels. 3. The author of the passage would be most likely to agree that an interpretation of a novel should A. not try to unite heterogeneous elements in the novel B. not be inflexible in its treatment of the elements in the novel C. not argue that the complex use of narrators or of

21、 time shifts indicates a sophisticated structure D. concentrate on those recalcitrant elements of the novel that are outside the novels main structure E. primarily consider those elements of novelistic construction of which the author of the novel was aware For the following question, consider each

22、of the choices separately and select all that apply. 4. The author of the passage suggests which of the following about Hamlet? A. Hamlet has usually attracted critical interpretations that tend to stiffen into theses. B. Hamlet has elements that are not amenable to an all-encompassing critical inte

23、rpretation. C. Hamlet is less open to an all-encompassing critical interpretation than is Wuthering Heights. GRE阅读真题之OG OG-1 Passage 14 Whether the languages of the ancient American peoples were used for expressing abstract universal concepts can be clearly answered in the case of Nahuatl. Nahuatl,

24、like Greek and German, is a language that allows the formation of extensive compounds. By the combination of radicals or semantic elements, single compound words can express complex conceptual relations, often of an abstract universal character. The tlamatinime (those who know) were able to use this

25、 rich stock of abstract terms to express the nuances of their thought. They also availed themselves of other forms of expression with metaphorical meaning, some probably original, some derived from Toltec coinages. Of these forms, the most characteristic in Nahuatl is the juxtaposition of two words

26、that, because they are synonyms, associated terms, or even contraries, complement each other to evoke one single idea. Used metaphorically, the juxtaposed terms connote specific or essential traits of the being they refer to, introducing a mode of poetry as an almost habitual form of expression. For

27、 the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply. 1. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage regarding present-day research relating to Nahuatl? A. Some record or evidence of the thought of the tlamatinime is available. B. For at least some N

28、ahuatl expressions, researchers are able to trace their derivation from another ancient American language. C. Researchers believe that in Nahuatl, abstract universal concepts are always expressed metaphorically. 2. Select the sentence in the passage in which the author introduces a specific Nahuatl mode of expression that is not identified as being shared with certain European languages. 3. In the context in which it appears, “coinages” (line 9) most nearly means A. adaptations B. creations C. idiosyncrasies D. pronunciations E. currencies 10E11A12BCABC13DBBB14AB“Of idea.”B
