◆0920 GRE閱讀第一篇命中：Cartography 製圖學(本篇英文原題)
A divide between aesthetic and technical considerations has played a crucial
role in mapmaking and cartographic scholarship. Since nineteenth century,
cartographers, for instance, understood themselves as technicians who did
not care about visual effects, while others saw themselves as landscape
painters. That dichotomy structured the discipline of the history of
cartography. Until the 1980s, in what Blakemore and Harley called "the Old
is Beautiful Paradigm," scholars largely focused on maps made before 1800,
marveling at their beauty and sometimes regretting the decline of the
pre-technical age. Early mapmaking was considered an art while modern
cartography was located within the realm of engineering utility. Alpers,
however, has argued that this boundary would have puzzled mapmakers in the
seventeenth century, because they considered themselves to be visual engineers.
幫同學奉上原題與正解：
1. According to the passage, Alpers would say that the assumptions underlying
the "paradigm" were
inconsistent with the way some mapmakers prior to 1800 understand their own
work.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that beginning in the 1980s historians
of cartography
expanded their range of study to include more material created after 1800.
◆0920 GRE閱讀第二篇命中：America's colonization美洲最早的殖民(本篇英文原題)
Some archaeologists speculate that the Americas might have been initially
colonized between 40,000 and 25,000 years ago. However, to support this
theory it is necessary to explain the absence of generally accepted
habitation sites for that time interval in what is now the United States.
Australia, which has a smaller land area than the United State, has many
such sites, supporting the generally accepted claim that the continent was
colonized by humans at least 40,000 years ago. Australia is less densely
populated (resulting in lower chances of discovering sites) and with its
overall greater aridity would have presented conditions less favorable for
hunter-gatherer occupation. Proportionally, at least as much land area has
been lost from the coastal regions of Australia because of postglacial
sea-level rise as in the United States, so any coastal archaeological record
in Australia should have been depleted about as much as a coastal record in
the United States. Since there are so many resource-rich rivers leading
inland from the United States coastlines, it seems implausible that a growing
population of humans would have confined itself to coasts for thousands of
years. If inhabitants were present 25,000 years ago, the chances of their
appearing in the archaeological record would seem to be greater than for
Australia.
幫同學奉上原題與正解：
1. The passage is primarily concerned with doing which of the following?
Presenting an objection to a claim
2. The author of the passage implies that which of the following about 25,000
years ago?
Global sea level was lower than it is now.
3. The author of the passage implies that, in what is now the United States,
archaeological evidence of inhabitation in the period from 40,000 to 25,000
years ago is lacking because that region
was colonized less than 25,000 years ago

0920 GRE邏輯真題：總共一組命中真經班
◆邏輯命中真經班：Shoreland County recently purchased………(本篇英文原題)
Shoreland County recently purchased an area of wilderness land in the county
to prevent it from being developed. In doing so, the county as forfeited all
future property taxes on this land. Property taxes are assessed on market
value, and if developed, the land would have contributed significantly to
the county's overall annual tax revenue. Because of the purchase, therefore,
overall annual tax revenue will be lower than it would have been if development
had occurred.
幫同學奉上原題與正解：
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
Land near the area bought by the county will not increase significantly in
market value as a result of being near wilderness that is protected from
development.
◆邏輯命中真經班：A hoard of coins………(本篇英文原題)
A hoard of coins recently unearthed at an ancient Carthagian site bear an
image of a face in profile with what appears to be a large mole on the cheek.
Pointing out that an artist would be unlikely to include such a specific detail
in a generalized portrayal of a face, some archaeologists have concluded that
these coins portray an actual individual rather than an idealized type. However,
this conclusion is unwarranted, since ______.
幫同學奉上原題與正解：
Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
the relatively soft metal used for Carthagian coin molds sometimes resulted in
the production of series of coins with unintended bumps
