A calculated estimation by the World Welfare Organisation indicates that the
radical reduction in the female population in rural China by the next decade will
increase to a 5% difference, representing a male female gap of millions.
Approximately, for every thousand married couples there would be at least fifty
eligible males that will never find a female match and in some regions this may
rise to 200. These days, China's authorities are attempting to amend this gender
distortion by placing tougher penalties on illegal abortions and delegalising
prenatal ultrasound examinations
答案：A
According to the text, these days, China's authorities are attempting
to amend this gender distortion in rural China.
This means that the distortion mentioned in the text already exists
today.
The answer is True

答案：A
As one method of reducing the gender gap, the Chinese
government has decided to outlaw prenatal ultrasound
examinations. This means they suspect that the information
provided by ultrasounds leads to the abortion of female foetuses.
The answer is True

A calculated estimation by the World Welfare Organisation indicates that the
radical reduction in the female population in rural China by the next decade will
increase to a 5% difference, representing a male female gap of millions.
Approximately, for every thousand married couples there would be exactly fifty
eligible males that will never find a female match and in some regions this may
rise to 200. These days, China's authorities are attempting to amend this gender
distortion by placing tougher penalties on illegal abortions and delegalising
prenatal ultrasound examinations.
答案：B
The passage states that: "Approximately, for every thousand married couples
there would be exactly fifty eligible males" and that "in some regions this may
rise to 200".
We would get an average of 125 only if the number of populations where there
are 50 eligible male bachelors per 1,000 married couples were equal to the
number of populations where there are 200 eligible male bachelors per 1,000
couples: 200 plus 50 divided by 2 gives us 125.
An average should be calculated in this way only if both values have the same
weight - in other words, if they appear at the same frequency in the general
population.
However, the number of male bachelors per 1,000 married couples rises to 200
only in some regions, while generally in rural China it is around 50, so this
calculation is incorrect.
Therefore, the answer is False.
Answering this question correctly demands basic understanding of math
principles, and you may wonder why is this seen on a verbal reasoning test.
However, reality proves that many verbal reasoning tests include 1-2 such
questions out of the entire se
6、Airline companies are increasingly searching for novel tactics to succeed and
keep afloat in this competitive industry. By code sharing and forming Frequent
Flyer Club partnerships, they can realise new prospects that they couldn't while
operating on their own. The potential gains of such initiatives are grand. As
overhead is reduced and less popular air routes are shared by airline operators,
both the risk and the operating costs are reduced. The increased agility of
airline operations means that more business is gained by an ability to share
services with partners in response to unexpected low demand.
答案：B
According to the text, "As overhead is reduced and less popular air
routes are shared by airline operators, both the risk and the
operating costs are reduced".

The answer is Cannot Say.
While the passage mentions certain factors that affect an airline
company's profitability (e.g. operating costs, overhead), nowhere
does it connect between those factors and the current situation of
the industry.
Low demand may have well been created due to other reasons,
from higher rates of aeroplane crashes, to economic crisis.
The only thing we can tell is that the industry is facing a challenge
and that there are certain solutions that can help deal with these
difficulties

The year 2003 marked a substantial shift in the working conditions of
international long-distance call centre staff. This resulted from newly developed
telecommunication technology as well as the change in working hours which
put higher strain on employees. The typical working hours have changed
dramatically to suit trans-Atlantic time zones. Throughout a shift, staff need to
function dynamically and answer calls enthusiastically during unconventional
hours. The late working hours has likewise caused some loss to the human
interaction in the workplace in the call centre
答案：A
The text clearly states that the, "typical working hours of call centre
workers have changed dramatically to match with trans-Atlantic

Political transformation in Chile came about with the eradication of the Pinochet
military regime in 1990 and the institution of a new democratically elected
government led by Aylwin. The new government triggered economic growth.
Aylwin‘s government vowed to promote economic growth in parallel to the
introduction of new social policies. This provided the raison d'être for social and
labour policies directed at the poorest communities and aimed at achieving
greater social equality. The establishment of Chilean democracy has been crucial
in drawing overseas investors, which in turn has boosted Chile's economic
growth
答案： C
While it can be inferred that Aylwin’s government did improve
economic growth in Chile through the statement, “The
establishment of Chilean democracy has … boosted Chile's economicgrowth”, there is no mention of the extent of economic growth
beforehand. For all we know, Chile's economy might have grown in
the past, then shrunk to zero, and then was triggered again by
Aylwin’s government.
The answer is Cannot Say

The text does state that the poorest communities in Chile suffered
from social inequality. However, it doesn’t mention whether the
poorest communities were the only ones to suffer.
One may claim that the word "greater" implies that there is a
comparison between the poorest communities to other communities
in Chilean society, and thus deduce that the answer is False.
However, we cannot say beyond reasonable doubt that there are
other socially deprived communities. "Greater" improvement may
be in relation to current overall inequality and not necessarily in
relation to other communities.The answer is Cannot Say

With over half a billion citizens in the European Union, the stability of its food
market is important. The Common Agricultural Policy (also known as CAP) is an
EU initiative designed to provide farmers with the economic support to help
them withstand the outcomes of unexpected natural events like heavy rains,
floods, cold temperatures, and fires. For the CAP to improve, information
regarding the current economic situation of farms across the EU is needed. As
of January 4th 2010, each farm in the EU should provide a document called
"Farm Return", containing two types of data: income assessment and a
description of the farm's business operation. The EU then uses these data to
predict the implications of changes made to the CAP on the farmers, as well as
to understand the current situation better. The Farm Return's route from the
farm to the EU begins with a local agency called the Liaison Agency. This agency
then passes the report on to a National Committee, which hands it over to the
EU
答案： C
According to the text: "The Common Agricultural Policy (also known as CAP) is
an EU initiative designed to provide farmers with the economic support to help
them withstand the outcomes of unexpected natural events [...]." It is not
specified in the text whether the CAP supports farmers in other situations as
well. The information in the passage is not enough to confirm or contradict the

us is that the food supply is likely to suffer from such an event without any

mean the entire market will be diminished. We cannot tell just how extensive
the negative impact will be. Therefore, the correct answer is cannot say

More than 50 new alien planets, including 16 super-Earths, which are potentially
rocky worlds that are more massive than our planet, have been discovered by
an exoplanet-hunting telescope. One in particular - called HD 85512 b - has
captured astronomers' attention because it orbits at the edge of its star's
habitable zone, suggesting conditions could be ripe to support life. The harvest
of discoveries from the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher
instrument, or HARPS, has exceeded all expectations and includes an
exceptionally rich population of super-Earths and Neptune-type planets hosted
by stars very similar to our sun. And even better — the new results show that
the pace of discovery is accelerating. HD 85512 b is the lowest-mass confirmed
planet discovered by the radial velocity method that potentially lies in the
habitable zone of its star, and the second low-mass planet discovered by HARPS
inside the habitable zone
答案：C
The reader is told only that because a planet's "orbit at the edge of its star's
habitable zone suggest[s] conditions could be ripe to support life." While the
reader can justifiably assume that these planets probably contain water, she
cannot assume, as the statement asserts, that the planets do contain water.

lies in the habitable zone of its star, and the second low-mass planet discovered
by HARPS inside the habitable zone." The distinction of the planet HD 85512 b
is that it is the lowest-mass planet to be discovered, but it was discovered
second. Therefore, the answer is False

Only three articles of the Magna Carta can be regarded as of paramount and
permanent importance, of these, that the city of London and all the other citiesand boroughs of the kingdom should enjoy their ancient rights and privileges
unimpaired. It is unnecessary to go beyond the work of Blackstone to ascertain
that the city of London was not governed by the law of Feudalism, or by the
Common Law of England, but was a law unto itself, with its own usages and
customs, and its own special courts to enforce them. It is necessary, however,
to go a little beyond the work of that able, but not wholly honest commentator,

ancient rights and privileges unimpaired."
However, is the ancient law of London the Roman law? Later in the paragraph
it says, "the usages and customs of London were traceable to a Roman sourceand to the Roman Civil Law." "Traceable" to the Roman law does not mean that
the law of London was identical to the Roman law.

The reader must read carefully and know her vocabulary. The word "inept"
means not skillful, makes errors. The author clearly calls Blackstone "able" or
skillful. The reader should not confuse the words "inept" and "adept" which is
its opposite, and means "capable" or "able." The author however faults
Blackstone with "not being wholly honest." This has nothing to do with being
"inept." Therefore, the answer is False
