There may be other reasons for using electricity or solar energy.The answer is Cannot Say4、答案：BThe passages mentions wood, electricity, and kerosene as threeexamplesfor past sources of energy. The phrase such as indicates that this list is not exhaustive. This suggests there was at least one more source in the past, before the development of solar energy. This contradicts the statement, as solar energy cannot be the fourth source developed (at the very least, it is fifth).The answer is False.5、答案：AThe answer is True.Two instances in the passage prove this statement true.1.this often creates a financial burden on the minor players . It often creates, but not always.2.but as one senior manufacturer recently said if youre not there you dont exist. There is another benefit in participating in these fairs, which is simple recognition or awareness of existence6、答案：CAlthough intuitively the statement may sound logical, there is no supporting information in the text about the relationship between sales and booth design.The answer is Cannot Say7、答案：BThe information in the passage doesnt suggest that there are guaranteed financial returns from trade fairs, but it does say that they can be excellent sales platforms and image building opportunities. Therefore, it would be wrong to argue that trade fairs do not boost sales or strengthen a companys profile.The answer is False8、答案：BThe information in the text suggests otherwise. The text states that, “In many occasions the direct business impact does not seem to justify the enormous costs.The fact that there are many instances where the financial payback does not justify the cost contradicts the statement9、答案：BThe passage states that trade fairs often create a financial burden on the minor players, implying that some small businesses do participate in the important events, even though this creates a financial burden on them.Therefore, the answer is False.10、答案：BMoney that is transferred between first degree family members is not considered income, according to the text.The answer is False答案：CThe text explains that negative income tax will be paid to those who fail to reach a minimum annual income. But the text doesnt provide us with any information as to how many people fall into this category.The answer is Cannot Say11、答案：AThe text states that, “the new legislation suggests compensation in the form of a negative income tax for those who fail to reach a minimum annual income.The answer is True12、答案：BAccording to the passage, “Income in this context includes most monetary sources, such as ”.The use of such as suggests that there are other sources of income.The answer is False13、答案：CThe text doesnt refer to the intensity of the depression, only to the distinction between different types of depression (typical vs. reversed symptom).The answer is Cannot Say14、答案：BThe text explicitly states that drugs can be used to successfully treat over 60% of depressed patients. This means that drugs are effective in treating over half of depressed individuals.The answer is False15、答案：AThe text confirms that, “Individuals that suffer from common depression often respond better to the drug therapy than the minority group who suffer from reversed symptom depression.Typical and common are interchangeable in this case.The answer is True16、答案：CThe text states that there are other forms of therapy for those who dont respond to drug therapy, but it doesnt say whether these forms of treatment are effective.The answer is Cannot Say18、答案：CThe passage compares the effectiveness of drugs in treating common depression, as opposed to the use of drugs in treating reversed symptom depression, suggesting CBT as an alternative treatment option in cases where pharmaceutical treatments is not successful. Nevertheless, the passage does not compare the effectiveness of CBT in comparison with drugs and thus we cannot assess the truthfulness of the statement.The answer is Cannot Say.19、答案：A20、The statistics provided in the text indicate that 50% of car accidents involve drivers with up to five years experience, and 15% of car accidents involve drivers with 6-8 years of driving experience. This means that 65% of car accidents involve drivers with less than 9 years of experience, which is the majority.The answer is True答案：AThe text clearly states that, “a substantial increase in car sales during the same period has resulted in a staggering rise in fatal car accidents”.The answer is True21、答案：CAccording to the passage, Last winter 50 per cent of all fatal road accidents involved drivers with up to five years driving experience and an additional 15 per cent were drivers who had between six to eight years of experience.This piece of data only mentions experience, not age. Although the main idea of the passage is that younger drivers are generally more likely to be involved in fatal car accidents, we cannot assume all relatively inexperienced drivers are young. We do not know how many of those 15% with six to eight years of experience are younger drivers and how many are older drivers.As this comparison is impossible to make on the basis of the information provided in the passage, the answer is Cannot Say.22、答案：BAccording to the text, the advertising campaign fighting accidents resulted in some improvement. This means that to some degree, it succeeded in reducing the number of car accidents.The answer is False23、答案：AAccording to the text - The medium size category represents 60% of their entire pool therefore the remaining categories represent 40% which is less than half.The answer is True24、答案：CThe text does not provide information about the luxury cars category.The answer is Cannot Say25、答案：A The text states that 5% of vehicles fall in two categories, medium and large. We can therefore conclude that at least 5% of Auto Reachs car pool fit two car size category criteria.The answer is True答案：AThe text asserts that The people behind the wheels of these (medium size) cars are mostly middle level managers from various industries.The answer is True26、答案：A The text asserts that The people behind the wheels of these (medium size) cars are mostly middle level managers from various industries.The answer is True27、答案：CWhile the text notes that“One of the critical elements of performance management is coaching people to develop the skills that may be holding them back from success and moving up the corporate ladder” this does not necessarily imply that without coaching one cannot move up the corporate ladder.While performance management is definitely beneficial, it is not necessarilyessential.Thus, we CANNOT SAY.28、答案：CThe correct answer is Cannot Say.The first paragraph of the text describes one of several critical elements that constitute performance management.The second paragraph discusses the outcomes of this method, which can be perceived as benefits of utilising it.However, we are not told what themainbenefit of performance management is. We are only given examples of some benefits.You may be tempted to choose False because the text does mention certain benefits, but they are not necessarily the main ones, nor does the fact that the benefit in question isnt mentioned makes it a minor benefit necessarily.29、答案：CThe text indicates that the assessment enables workers to know the skills they need in order
