【正文】 sentence.11. ○3This is an Inference question asking for an inference that can be supported by the passage. The correct answer is choice 3。 the passage suggests that the author believes Desertification will continue to increase. The last paragraph of the passage says that slowing or rever sing the erosion proce ss will be very difficult, but that it may occur in those areas that are not too affected already if rigorously enforce d anti erosion processe s are implemented. Taken together, this suggests that the author is not confident this until happe n。 therefore, it can be inferred that he thinks erosion will continue. The passage provide s no ba sis for inferring choices 1, 2, or 4.12. ○2This is an Insert Text question. You can see the four black squares in paragraph7 that represent the possible answer choices here:■ The raising of live stock is a major economic activity in sem iarid lands, where grasses are generally the dominant type of natural vegetation. ■ The conseque nces of an excessive number of live stock grazing in an area are the reduction of the vegetation c over and the trampling and pulverization of the soil. ■ T his is usually followe d by the drying of the soil and accelerated erosion. ■The se ntence provided, This ec onomic rel iance on live stock in certain regions make s large tracts of land susce ptible to overgrazing, is best inserted at Square 2. The inserted sentence refers ex plicitly to rel ying on livestock in certain regions. Those regions are the one s de scribed in the se ntence preceding square2, which states that raising live stock is a major economic a ctivity in semiarid lands. The inserted sente nce then explains that this reliance makes large tracts of land susceptible to overgrazing. The sentence that follows square 2 goes on to say that The consequences of an exce ssive num ber of livestoc k grazin g in a n area are. . . Thus, the inserted sentence contains reference s to both the sente nce before square 2 and the sentence after square 2. This is not true of any of the other possible insert point s, so square 2 is c orrect.1314.○1 3 4This is a Prose Summary question. It is pleted correctly below. The correct choices are 1, 3, and 4. Choice s 2, 5, and 6 are therefore inc orrect.11Early Cinema1. ○3This is a Negative Factual Information que stion asking for spec ific infor mation that can be found in paragraph l. Choice 3 is the correct answer. The paragraph does mention that one viewer at a time could view the films (choice 1 ), that films c ould be viewed one after another (choice 2), and that films were short (c hoice 4). Prizefights are mentioned as one subject of the se short films, but not necessarily the m ost popular one.2. ○2This is a Rhetorical Purpose que stion. It asks why the author mentions phonograph parlor s in paragraph 2. The correct answer is choice 2. The author is explaining why Ediso n designed his arcades like phonograph parlors。 that design had bee n succe ssful for him in the pa st. The paragraph doe s not mention the phonograph parlor s to explain E dison39。 s financ ial success, so choice 1 is incorrect. The paragraph does not directly discuss the situations describe d in choice s 3 and 4, so those answer s too are incorrect.3. ○3This is a Sentence Sim plification question. As with all of the se items, a single sentence in the passage is highlighted:He refused to deve lop projection technology, reasoning that if he made and sold projectors, then exhibitors would purcha se only one machinea pr ojectorfr om him, instead of several.The correct answer is c hoice 3. That choice contains all of the e ssential ideas in the highlighted sentenc e. It is also the only choice that does not change the meaning of the sentence. Choice 1 says that Edison was more interested in deve loping a variety of machines, whic h is not true. Choice 2 says that the reason Edison refused to wor k on pr ojection technology was that exhibitors w ould ne ver replace the projector s. That also is not true。 the highlighted sentence im plies that he refused to do this because he wanted ex hibitors to buy several Kinetoscope machines at a time instead of a single projector. Choice 4 says that Edison refuse d to develop projection technology unless exhibitors agreed to purchase m ore that one pr ojector from him. The highlighted se ntence actually says that Edison had already reasoned or conclude d that exhibitor s would not buy m ore than one, so choice 4 is a change in e sse ntial meaning.4. ○2This is a V ocabulary que stion. The word bei ng tested is readily. It is highlighted in the passage. Readily meanseasily, so choice 2 is the correct answer. The other choices do not fit in the cont ext of the sentence.5. ○3This is a Vocabulary que stion. The word being tested is assistance。 it is highlighted in the passage. An30assistant is a person w ho helps a leader, so c hoice 3, hel p, is the correct answer.6. ○4This is a Factual Informalion question asking for specific information that can be found in paragraph 4. The correct answer is c hoice 4. Early movie s were different from previous spectacles because the y did not require live actors. The paragraph states (em phasis added):But the movie s differed significantly from these other form s of e ntertainment, which depe nded on either live performance or (in the case of the slideandlantern shows) the active involveme nt of a master of ceremonies who a ssem bled the final program.So the fact that previous spectacles depended on live performance s is ex plicitly stated as one of the ways (but not the only way) that those earlier e ntertainments differed from movies. T he ot her answer choices are not mentioned in the paragraph.7. ○1This is a Factual Information question a sking for specific information that can be found in paragraph 5. The correct answer is c hoice
