 一、 填空

1. Ethologists are now seriously considering crediting some nonhuman animals not just with raw, basic emotional states but also with __________ ones, including envy and empathy.

A inappropriate

B interchangeable

C predictable

D mundane

E subtler

【参考解析】not just...but also表并列,并且前后存在递进的程度差别,前面说一些raw/basic的emotion,后面是一些更微妙(与比raw,basic更高级或精确)的情感,解释说明的envy、empathy也都是比较细微的情感。只有subtle合适。

【参考翻译】现在,民族学家正在认真考虑将一些非人类动物归功于原始的,基本的情感状态,还要考虑更微妙的动物,包括嫉妒和同理心。

4. Given that Hefele was obviously sophisticated and worldly, his failure to do well in the position can hardly be ascribed to __________.

A callowness

B unintelligence

C sloth

D cupidity

E incompetence

 解析:这题根据hardly取反,空格对应sophisticated and worldly取反即可,答案选择callowness(幼稚)。
翻译:鉴于Hefele显然是老练且有世俗经验的,他在这个位置上表现不佳并不能归因于不成熟。

 

5. The classical music scene today is remarkably __________, strikingly open to varied harmonic idioms, and eager to embrace experimentation and to absorb influences from world music, folk music, rock, and other genres.

A factious

B eclectic

C contentious

翻译:法国作家MP的信件反映出,这样一种渴望取悦并且包含如此多的赞美,道歉和礼貌的表达,这些直接指出他们是拍马屁的。

 二、数学

 

1. Data list I and data list II are summarized by boxplot I and boxplot II, respectively, as shown above. Which of the following statements must be true?

Indicate all such statements.

A The median of data list II is greater than the median of data list I.

B The range of data list I is greater than the range of data list II.

C The interquartile range of data list I is greater than the interquartile range of data list II.

解题思路:第二个箱线图中位数=250,第一个箱线图中位数明显<250,故A正确
第一个箱线图的极差≈360-100=260,第二个箱线图的极差=375-120=255,故B正确
第一个箱线图的四分位距=350-150=200,第二个箱线图的四分位距=300-170=130,故C正确
综合下来,选A、B、C

怎么看boxplot箱线图?箱线图默认:数值从左到右是:从~小~到~大~的顺序排列:
① 上图的List的最左顶到头的竖线 = 最小值的所在位置,最右顶到头的竖线为Q4 = 最大值的所在位置。
② 长方形的箱子:最左的边为Q1的所在位置,中间的竖线为Q2 = 中位数的所在位置,最右的边为Q3的所在位置。
——
其中,Q1~Q4的含义为:
Q1:在第1个25%的位置上;
Q2:在第2个25%的位置上,即在50%的位置上 = 中位数;
Q3:在第3个25%的位置上,即在75%的位置上;
Q4:在第3个25%的位置上,即在100%的位置上 = 最大值。
——
③ 每个位置的的值 = 竖线向下延伸与数轴的交点的值。
④ interquartile range 四分位差,即四分位范围 = Q3值-Q1值。
⑤ The range of list = 最大值-最小值。
