2. 逻辑题
逻辑题1:最后一公里送货
Last‑mile delivery refers to the final step in delivering packages to customers—and this final step can be very difficult. Delivery companies are contending with the increasing popularity of next‑day delivery and with the increasing volume of parcels, resulting in a growing bottleneck in the last‑mile stage. These companies have been experimenting with innovative solutions, including self‑service lockers. Unfortunately, many innovations create new obstacles and are not ready for full‑scale implementation. As a result, delivery companies will likely _____.
Which choice most logically completes the text?
A) encourage consumers to expect next‑day delivery only for widely available productsB) continue to struggle with last‑mile delivery operations until viable solutions become availableC) meet consumers' expectations in many areas but not in all regionsD) have little incentive to find a solution to last‑mile delivery challenges
逻辑题2:油炸食物脂肪含量
Biochemists studied mass and heat transfer when foods are fried in oil. During frying, water in the crust evaporates, leaving voids that oil can fill, increasing fat content. As the process continues, water from the center moves to the crust as long as the crust remains permeable. Therefore, the more moisture a food loses during frying, _____.
Which choice most logically completes the text?
A) the lower the temperature must beB) the softer the crust will beC) the higher the fat content will beD) the quicker the crust will lose permeability
3. 双篇题:CMN研究
Text 1In separate studies, Meng and colleagues and He and colleagues examined whether plants transfer nutrients via a common mycorrhizal network (CMN). Meng excluded all pathways other than the CMN by using barriers that kept root systems separate while allowing fungal strands through—a crucial step He's study did not take.
Text 2Meng took the necessary precaution of separating root systems. However, any barrier that allows fungal strands also allows liquids through. Thus, the design cannot ensure that any nutrient transfer is due to a CMN and not another pathway.
Based on the texts, how would the author of Text 2 most likely respond to Text 1's characterization of Meng's study?
A) It overstates the effectiveness of Meng's method.B) It overlooks studies contradicting Meng's results.C) It misrepresents what Meng aimed to achieve.D) It conflates Meng's method with He's method.
4. 推断题:Heege手稿
The 15th‑century English Heege Manuscript is unusual for its focus on fantasy tales. According to professor Wade, the three texts in its first booklet were likely copied by Richard Heege from a traveling minstrel's repertoire book.

Wade would most likely agree that the first booklet was
A) a copy Heege intended to give to a minstrel.B) based on stories about the area, with names later removed.C) copied from a text that originated from a minstrel working in that area.D) written down from memory based on a performance by a minstrel.
