GRE入学测试卷（一）Section 1: Analytical WrithingIssue Task (30 minutes):“The proper role of education is to teach facts, not morals.”Write an essay in which you take position on the statement above. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true.Section 2: Quantitative Reasoning(15 minutes)For each of Questions 1 to 4, compare Quantity A and Quantity B, using additional information centered above the two quantities if such information is given. Select one of the following four answer choices and fill in the corresponding oval to the right of the question.A Quantity A is greater.B Quantity B is greater.C The two quantities are equal.D The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.A symbol that appears more than once in a question has the same meaning throughout the question.1. 2. 3.4.Questions 5 to 10 have several different formats. Unless otherwise directed, select a single answer choice. For Numeric Entry questions, follow the instructions below.Numeric Entry QuestionsEnter your answer in the answer box(es) below the question. Your answer may be an integer, a decimal, or a fraction, and it may be negative. If a question asks for a fraction, there will be two boxesone for the numerator and one for the denominator. Equivalent forms of the correct answer, such as 2.5 and 2.50, are all correct. Fractions do not need to be reduced to lowest terms. Enter the exact answer unless the question asks you to round your answer.5.6.7.8.9.10.Section 3: Verbal Reasoning(15 minutes)For questions 1 to 3, select one entry for each blank from the corresponding column of choices. Fill all blanks in the way that best completes the text.1. Kagan maintains that an infants reactions to its first stressful experiences are part ofa natural process of development, not harbingers of childhood unhappiness or _signs of adolescent anxiety.A, prophetic B, normal C, monotonous D, virtual E, typical 2. It is (i) _ that so many portrait paintings hang in art museums, since the subject matterseems to dictate a status closer to pictures in the family photograph album than to high art.But perhaps it is the artistic skill with which the portraits are painted that (ii) _ theirpresence in art museums. 9 / 9Blank(i)A, surprising B, understandable C, irrelevant Blank(ii)D, challenged E, justifies F, changes 3. Richard M. Russell said 52 percent of the nations growth since the Second World War had (i)_ invention. He said, (ii) _ research, the governments greatest role in assuringcontinuing innovation is promoting a strong, modern patent office. “Unless we can (iii)_ original ideas, we will not have invention,” Mr.Russell said. Speculating on the state ofinnovation over the next century, several inventors agreed that the future lay in giving childrenthe tools to think creatively and the motivation to invent.Blank(i) A, been at the expense of B, no bearing on C, come through Blank(ii) D, in addition to restricting E, aside from supporting F, far from exaggerating Blank(iii)G, evaluate H, protect I, disseminate For each of questions 4 to 7, select one answer choice unless otherwise instructed.Anaerobic glycolysis is a process in which energy is produced, without oxygen, through the breakdown of muscle glycogen into lactic acid and adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), the energy provider. The amount of energy that can be produced anaerobically is a function of the amount of glycogen presentin all vertebrates about 0.5 percent of their muscles wet weight. Thus the anaerobic energy reserves of a vertebrate are proportional to the size of the animal. If, for example, some predators had attacked a 100-ton dinosaur, normally torpid, the dinosaur would have been able to generate almost instantaneously, via anaerobic glycolysis, the energy of 3,000 humans at maximum oxidative metabolic energy production.4. The passages suggestion that the total anaerobic energy reserves of a vertebrate are proportional to the vertebrates size is based on which of the following assumption?(A) larger vertebrates conserve more energy than smaller vertebrates(B) larger vertebrates use less oxygen per unit weight than smaller vertebrates(C) the ability of a vertebrate to consume food is a function of its size(D) the amount of muscle tissue in a vertebrate is directly related to its size(E) the size of a vertebrate is proportional to the quantity of energy it can utilizeImmediately relevant to game theory are the sex ratios in certain parasitic wasp species that have a large excess of females. In these species, fertilized eggs develop into females and unfertilized eggs into males. A female stores sperm and can determine the sex of each egg she lays by fertilizing it or leaving it unfertilized. By Fishers genetic argument that the sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted, it should pay a female to produce equal numbers of sons and daughters. Hamilton, noting that the eggs develop within their hostthe larva of another insectand that the newly emerged adult wasps mate immediately and disperse, offered a remarkably cogent analysis. Since only one female usually lays eggs in a given larva, it would pay her to produce one male only, because this one male could fertilize all his sisters on emergence. Like Fisher, Hamilton looked for an evolutionarily stable strategy, but he went a step further in recognizing that he was looking for a strategy.5. The author suggests that the work of Fisher and Hamilton was similar in that both scientists(A) conducted their research at approximately the same time (B) sought to manipulate the sex ratios of some of the animals they studied (C) sought an explanation of why certain sex ratios exist and remain stable (D) studied game theory, thereby providing important groundwork for the later development of strategy theory (E) studied reproduction in the same animal speciesFor the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply6. The passage contains information that would answer which of the following questions about wasps?A How many eggs does the female wasp usually lay in a single host larva?B Can some species of wasp determine sex ratios among their offspring?C What is the approximate sex ratio among the offspring of parasitic wasps?7. Which of the following is NOT true of the species of parasitic wasps discussed in the passage?(A) Adult female wasps are capable of storing sperm.(B) Female wasps lay their eggs in the larvae of other insects.(C) The adult female wasp can be fertilized by a male that was hatched in the same larva as herself.(D) So few male wasps are produced that extinction is almost certain.(E) Male wasps do not emerge from their hosts until they reach sexual maturity.For questions 8 to 10, select the two answer choices that, when used to complete the s
