GRE之150 Mixed Practice Set 1
14/25,做了1个多小时，郁闷，时间真是个大问题，我发现我回读现象比较严重，感觉都要读两遍确定一下才放心，题目都要读还几遍。 没想好这个时间问题怎么解决。
填空三空题全错，句子等价题错了2个（一共5个）这两项没有在Magoosh上练，今天开始要联系Magoosh的填空了
现分析：
1.又仔细分析了一下题目，虽然当时靠逻辑词 assume ,,,,never suspecting...判断，选出了正确答案，但是句子意思理解反了
The name of the AMLibrarry has long been _____: even longtime city residents assume it is a run-of-the-mill library, never suspecting what art treasures it contains.
冒号:之后是一个contrast， even longtime residents 都认为这是一个一般般的library,从来不觉得它里面有什么珍贵的艺术品。当时觉得困惑是把后面半句理解成从来不怀疑它里面有珍贵的艺术品。suspect最基本的意思是“觉得”，其实是“怀疑”。不过幸好这题比较简单只要感觉到有矛盾，就能选出misleading
2.Although economic growth has concentionally been viewed as the ____for poverty in undeveloped regions, this prescription's negative environmental side effects are becoming a concern.
其实看到prescription就可以猜出空格处应填词的意思，差一点没选错，应为当时觉得panacea强度太强，看着recipe 越看越像remedy，其实recipe食谱，还有导致某种不好的情况的原因的意思。
有生词culprit罪魁祸首，原因的意思。
3_____long-term outlook, saying that...空格后的说明部分是一系列积极的词汇。因此只有sanguine(乐观的，自信的)
4.当时不知道average means 是中等收入的意思，但是看到average觉得就是普通人，然后蒙对的
如果懂average means 的意思，应该毫不犹豫 选opulent（豪华的） 和expensive
5.The governor has considerable political talents, but as a speaker he is far less ____than his opponent, whose oratorical skills are____。两个对比，一个是跟他自己的 considerable political talents一个是跟他的opponent的oratorical skills，不难判断第一空adroit 第二空 breathtaking
6.三空题
第三个空错，错误原因竟然是把 sometimes, bothers critics, who often scold the director for lacking ____把最后一个定语从句当成director把director 当成国王....天啊，什么跟什么....然后以后导演批评国王缺少courage.这个题错的话，是基本功不扎实，首先，定语从句应该直接修饰前面的名词 critics其次，一直没有意识到这里director 是导演的意思。
7.读题障碍 不确定unraveling(解开；揭开)，concoct(捏造)，out of thin air(无中生有地；凭空捏造)
解题障碍，不知道unmistakable（明显的，obvious），导致第一空填错，因为虽然有上述读题障碍，但是句子意识和态度是读出来了的。最终的解题障碍就是unmistakable（明显的，obvious）理解成“没有错”造成判断错误
下面分析题目...., what eventually became____was that the company had been concocting "value" out of thin air, thanks not to the trading strategies it promoted as visionary but to financial _____that turned a once-solid entity into the most notorious ____in an era of corporate scandals.
第一个空的选项有（vindicated(证明正确的)，unmistakable(明显的)，unverifiable(不能证实的)）很显然unmistakable(明显的)填在第一空更合适。第二空not to the trading strategies but to financial ___根据空格后的提示“that turned a once-solid entity into the most notorious”该空填的应是一个negative的词，并与strategies对应games最合适（其他两个是redemption和responsibilities,第三空turned a once-solid entity into the most notorious ____in an era of corporate scandals.空格处应于once-solid entity 对应的 negative的词，从（omission，boon，debacle）三个看，显然debacle合适
8.读题障碍：cloying(l令人腻烦的)，clueless(愚蠢的)，come out of nowhere 突然出现 blow a whistle, in the know ,obscure(鲜为人知的)
解题障碍：hidebound 顽固守旧的死板保守的
Kept____by cloying commercial radio and clueless record executives, the American popular mnusic scene has frequently depended on the cities at the edges of the cultural map to provide a much-needed shot of _____. The momentary ____ what the next big thing is seems to come out of nowhere---as if someone blows a whistle only those in the know can here, and suddenly record executives and journalists are crawling all over what has previously been an obscure locale.
发现即使把生词都搞懂了，这个句子也不是很好懂，特别是那个比喻句。不过大概态度读出来就可以，估计考场上时间那么近，能读出态度就不错了。
所以提高速度的话就读句子态度加关键语句分析找对应。
首先读完句子，第一个句子有两个空，第二个句子有一个空，先填第二个句子的空。“suddenly record executives and journalists are crawling all over ” 有个感觉“很多人都要去...” 能代表很多人去干吗的选项（censensus about, indifference to, guarantee of）显然censensus about 更合适。
好了第二个句子完整了，填第一个句子。第一个句子最后一个词是一个空，那么这最后一个词一定和第二句有关，看到 "what the next big thing "然后去找对应合适的词（originality， truth , orthodoxy）,originality更合适（其实大概读完句子之后心里是有一个倾向的）。然后看第一个空 既然是a much-needed shot of original, 那么第一个空（hidebound, liberated, obligated ）hidebound更合适。其实第一次做的时候，后两个空都判断出来了，第一个空没有判断出来，是因为一没有找对应的习惯，一直坚持读懂再做题，事实证明，读了很多遍还是读懂，很浪费时间，技巧的重要性；而是由于cloying 和clueless单词意思没记住， 后来查完这两个单词，就能改对第一个空了，单词的重要性。
阅读分析
第一篇文章
历史探讨可以文章，两个题目，有点像逻辑题
第一句Despite hypothesis ranging from armed conflict to climate change, the abandoment of more than 600 Puedo cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde by A.D.1300 still puzzles archaeologists.
第二句Researchers analyzing refuse from one Pueblo community found remains of maize....in 44 percent of samples from years when the community flourished, but in only 10 percent of samples from the years near the time of depopulation, while the remains of wild plants increased significantly. 对比when the community flourished（44%）和 the years near the time of depopulation（10%，and wild increased）
第三句Bones found in the samples showed that the consumption of domesticated turkeys(fed maize)...decreased from 55 to 14 percent, while increase in wild-animal bones.
对比the consumption of domesticated turkeys（decreased）和 wild-animal bones （increased）
第四句，总结句The data suggest that near the end of the site's occupation, villagers experienced substantial food shortages and adopted hunting-and-gathering to compensate for crop failure
分析问题：
9.问根据研究者的研究结果，关于the consumption of wild plants 的说法哪个是正确的
比较好判断，搞清楚谁升谁降，很好判断
10.问关于abandonment of Mesa Verde的说法哪个是正确的
比较好判断，maize(crop)变少了，然后maized-fed turkey也变少了导致的
第二篇文章
两道题都做错了，重新读一遍文章可以读懂但是题目还是觉得挺不好判断的
第一句Although it is intuitively clear that an increase in antipredator behavior lowers an animals' risk of predation when predators are present, such benefits are not easily demonstrated.
这一句考了单词demonstrate除了证明之外的意思（show的意思）（①证明② 展现 (才能、品质、感情)③展示If you demonstrate something, you show people how it works or how to do it.）
第一句展示一个关系antipredator behavior(increase) lowers risk of predation.
第二句One tudy that did so found that well-fed guppies are more alert for predators and are consequently less likely to be killed that are their hungry counterparts, which feed with greater intensity. 其实第一题的其中一点就是考的这个“which feed with greater intensity.”因为这个显然是修饰hungry counterparts的，所以这个feed with greater intensity可以理解为让他们紧张，一直剧烈运动就会比较饿。也就是说well-fed -less active- more alert 更不容易被捕食; more-active-hungry-less alert 更容易被捕食.
第三句It is also well documented that a decrease in activity lowers an animals' risk of predation by reducing the probability of being detected or encountered by a predator.
这一句又说明 less active- 更不容易被捕食
第四句This effect was concincingly demonstrated by a study in which it was found that partially anesthetized tadpoles were less likely to be captured by dragonfly larvae than were unanesthetized tadpoles.首先第一次做题时没认出 anesthetize是使麻醉的意思。
这一句说上面less active-更不容易被捕食的这个说法通过局部麻醉的蝌蚪不容易被捕食来证明
上述文章第一句说明antipredator behavior(increase) lowers risk of predation这个关系，然后用两个实验一个是well-fed -less active- more alert 更不容易被捕食; more-active-hungry-less alert 更容易被捕食；另一个是通过局部麻醉的蝌蚪不容易被捕食来证明less active-更不容易被捕食。
11.问上面两个研究有什么不同
A 第一个研究more active-更不容易被捕食，第二个研究lees active 更不容易被捕食。错误。第一个研究也是less active 更不容易被捕食（第一个研究的关系是well-fed -less active- more alert 更不容易被捕食; more-active-hungry-less alert 更容易被捕食）
B第一个研究more alert 更不容易被捕食，第二个研究less alert更不容易被捕食。这里考的一个引申意思是anesthetize麻醉既使tadpole less active 也使tadpole less alert.对
C第一实验更容易在野外发生，第二个不容易发生。对，因为第二个人为干扰因素麻醉了动物。
12.demonstrate的单词的意思，刚开始判断对了的，后来又改错了。感觉像这种并不需要逻辑，而是对句子的理解。觉得哪个词合适就用哪个，不要想太多。
总结这个错误是文章feed with greater intensity 和 anesthetize不知道意思导致文章逻辑判断错误，这个词逻辑推理比较细，考试的时候这种题需要简短做笔记。
不过GRE逻辑题也不需要太引申意思，比字面意思多想一层，直接的引申义即可，不能想太多。如果直接不能相出，多半是想太多，容易错。
第三篇文章
文章很简单易懂
题目两个，一个是双方争论的焦点是什么，一个是最后一句话的作用
1.双方争论的焦点，看前两句话即可
Experts have been claiming that the skill demands of today's jobs have outstripped the skills workers possess. Moss and Tilly counter that worker dificiencies lie less in job-specific skills than in such attributes as motivation, interpersonal skills, and appropriate work demeanor.
即争论的焦点是experts 认为 工人的skills 不行，M&T认为，不是 job-specific skills而是attributes ，然而后面的一堆对第一题并没有什么用.
然后看选项
A显然错
Bwhether employers think that job-specific skills are as important as such sttributes .....首先文中没有提到employer的想法，其次讨论的焦点并不是说job-specigic skill 和attribute谁更重要
C错，文中没有提 expectations of employers
Dwhether adequate numbers of workers in the labor market possess the particular skills demanded by various different jobs. 正确答案，虽然adequate numbers看着很别扭
E显然错
14.句子功能。较简单
阅读总结考察点不算细，是文章的大点，关键点，但是需要非常准确非常细腻的理解各个关键点的关系。
句子等价题
15.简单
16.简单
17.特殊，不是同义词但可以代表相同的一个事情。A particular bacterium that has never encountered a particular virus will usually succumb to it, a ___that may, surprisingly, be beneficial to the colony in which the bacterium lives.
susceptibility 和 characteristic虽然不是同义词，但是在这个句子里都可合适的指代A particular bacterium that has never encountered a particular virus will usually succumb to it这句话。还有当时第一印象虽然是对的应该是susceptibility 和 characteristic，但是看着不是同义词，就没选，当时也忘了juxtaposition是什么意思了，就直接选上了。所以如果当时确定juxtaposition的意思，也不会选错了。单词准确释义记清楚不能模模糊糊的记得
18.看句子态度选同义词
The remarkable thing about the mayoral race, in retrospect, is that so many people wanted the job of managing a municipality so obviously about to ____
态度的判断在remarkable（ unusual or special ），所以空格处应该是negative的词
disintergrate 和 crumble
19. It is a testimony to Roth's ___that he could not quite bring himself to write a book as dull and flat as his original conception for his novel Everyman seemed to demand.
句意不好读但是题眼容易判断 dull 和flat的反义词，
talent genius
第四篇文章，长文章
第一段：写出了一个对比，之前的the idea that pianists should be musician-scholars whose playing reflected the way composers wanted their music to sound replaced the notion that panists should be virtuosos whose performances thrilled audiences with emotional daring and showy displays of technique.然后Wanda Landowska出现......
第二段：Her playing was Romantic but it was at least as close in spirit to the style of playing intended composers of the Baroque (1600-1750) and Classical(1750-1830) eras, as have been the more exacting but less emotionally resonant interpretations of most of harpsichordists since Landowska.这个句子读不太懂，抓住关键点“Her playing was Romantic but it was at least as close in spirit to the style of ”“more exacting but less emotionally resonant interpretations of most of harpsichordists since Landowska.” ......夸Landowska的技术
第三段：Her achievements were the result of a lifetime of scholarship, truly remarkable physical gifts, and resilient rhythm, all combined with excellent judgment about when not to hold the printed note sacrosanct. ...She was a genius at underlining the dramatic and emotional content of a piece, and to do so, she took liberties, all kinds of liberties, while nevertheless preserving the integrity of a composer's score.这一段再说Landowska dramatic and emotional content of a piece和integrity of a composer's score并重
第四段:说明Landowska的影响，one by one, pianists stopped playing Bach's music as sdapted for the piano by Liszt or by Tausing. Then they gradually stopped performing any kind of Baroque music on the pianom even Acarlatti's. .......这段细节较多细节题
分析问题：
20.问Landowska 的演奏embodied a rejection of which of the following?
其实类似于文章主旨，开头是一个矛盾the idea that....reflect the way composers wanted their music to sound replaced "showy displays of technique" 而Landowska 两者都做的很好。第一段后半部分，第二段和第三段前半部分说她的showy performance。第三段后半部分和说她的perserving the integrity of a composer's score.
所以答案是D performances emphasing showy displays of technique that comprise the integrity of a composer's original score.
21.问下面哪一个关于the compositions of Scarlatti的说法是正确的
定位第一段She demonstrated how the keybord works of Baroque composers such as Bach, Handel, Scarlatti, and Couperin probably sounded in their own times.
最后一段Then thet gradually stopped performing any kind of Baroque music on the paino,even Scarlatti's.
The paino repertoire, it began to be felt, was extensive enough without reverting to transcriptions of Broque music originally written for the harpsichord----the piano performance of Bach and Scarlatti were
因此D They were composed for instruments other than piano.
其实这个题直接定位最后一段也可以，但是最好养成读文章做简单笔记的习惯，比如大致扫一下长文章看到是属于这种很多艺术家很多人名，又有冲突的，读到冲突观点的记一下，读到人名标注一下（比如1.1第一段第一句等）
22.Landowska would probably objected most strongly to which of the following?
定位理解最后一段第一句话足矣Thanks to L, Bach's music (originally composed for the harpsichord) now sounded inappropriatedly thick when played on the piano.
23.较简单
这种长阅读，文章大概意思比较简单，态度一遍读下来应该做大部分题没问题，但是细节题，必须得定位了，长阅读定位困难，阅读时一定高效简单的记笔记。
第五篇文章
物理科技文，生词多，读一遍基本读不懂。物理词汇需要加强，需要关注下物理类的阅读。
一句句分析：
第一句：Scientists formerly believed that the rocky planets—Earth, Mercury, Venus, and Mars—were created by the rapid gravitational collapse of a dust cloud, a deflation giving rise to a dense orb. 科学家曾经的观点，后面应该有对比
第二句：That view was challenged in the 1960s, when studies of Moon craters revealed that these craters were caused by the impact of objects that were in great abundance about 4.5 billion years ago but whose number appeared to have quickly decreased shortly thereafter.
另一个观点研究Moon craters were caused by the impact of objects(abundance about 4.5 billion years ago but quickly decreased shortly thereafter.)
第三四句：This observation rejuvenated Otto Schmidt’s 1944 theory of accretion.
According to this theory, cosmic dust gradually lumped into ever-larger conglomerates: particulates, gravel, small and then larger balls, planetesimals (tiny planets), and, ultimately, planets.具体解释theory of accretion
第五句：As the planetesimals became larger, their numbers decreased. Consequently, the number of collisions between planetesimals decreased.具体解释第二句里abundance about 4.5 billion years ago but quickly decreased shortly thereafter.
发现障碍就是物理相关单词不懂造成理解的极大障碍，知道单词后再读文章思路就很清晰了
可是仍然做不对题 ╮(╯▽╰)╭
分析问题：
24.The passage provides evidence that Schmidt would be likely to disagree with the theory presented in the first sentence over
先看first sentence 理论“ rapid gravitational collapse of a dust cloud”，再看S的理论“cosmic dust gradually lumped into ever-larger conglomerates”，两个理论的对比文章中只分析了时间。所以最大的区别就是时间A. 说实话，比较难。所以这种题，真的就找对应最明显的对比，最明显的区别，足矣，不要想太多。 其实只要理解透彻，就没问题，关键是做题时间短，没有必要想太多，最直接的办法就是最准确的办法。跟想很多想通的结果是一样的。
25.问obserbation指代的是什么。前面那句话的同义转述即可。
填空三空题全错，句子等价题错了2个（一共5个）这两项没有在Magoosh上练，今天开始要联系Magoosh的填空了
现分析：
1.又仔细分析了一下题目，虽然当时靠逻辑词 assume ,,,,never suspecting...判断，选出了正确答案，但是句子意思理解反了
The name of the AMLibrarry has long been _____: even longtime city residents assume it is a run-of-the-mill library, never suspecting what art treasures it contains.
冒号:之后是一个contrast， even longtime residents 都认为这是一个一般般的library,从来不觉得它里面有什么珍贵的艺术品。当时觉得困惑是把后面半句理解成从来不怀疑它里面有珍贵的艺术品。suspect最基本的意思是“觉得”，其实是“怀疑”。不过幸好这题比较简单只要感觉到有矛盾，就能选出misleading
2.Although economic growth has concentionally been viewed as the ____for poverty in undeveloped regions, this prescription's negative environmental side effects are becoming a concern.
其实看到prescription就可以猜出空格处应填词的意思，差一点没选错，应为当时觉得panacea强度太强，看着recipe 越看越像remedy，其实recipe食谱，还有导致某种不好的情况的原因的意思。
有生词culprit罪魁祸首，原因的意思。
3_____long-term outlook, saying that...空格后的说明部分是一系列积极的词汇。因此只有sanguine(乐观的，自信的)
4.当时不知道average means 是中等收入的意思，但是看到average觉得就是普通人，然后蒙对的
如果懂average means 的意思，应该毫不犹豫 选opulent（豪华的） 和expensive
5.The governor has considerable political talents, but as a speaker he is far less ____than his opponent, whose oratorical skills are____。两个对比，一个是跟他自己的 considerable political talents一个是跟他的opponent的oratorical skills，不难判断第一空adroit 第二空 breathtaking
6.三空题
第三个空错，错误原因竟然是把 sometimes, bothers critics, who often scold the director for lacking ____把最后一个定语从句当成director把director 当成国王....天啊，什么跟什么....然后以后导演批评国王缺少courage.这个题错的话，是基本功不扎实，首先，定语从句应该直接修饰前面的名词 critics其次，一直没有意识到这里director 是导演的意思。
7.读题障碍 不确定unraveling(解开；揭开)，concoct(捏造)，out of thin air(无中生有地；凭空捏造)
解题障碍，不知道unmistakable（明显的，obvious），导致第一空填错，因为虽然有上述读题障碍，但是句子意识和态度是读出来了的。最终的解题障碍就是unmistakable（明显的，obvious）理解成“没有错”造成判断错误
下面分析题目...., what eventually became____was that the company had been concocting "value" out of thin air, thanks not to the trading strategies it promoted as visionary but to financial _____that turned a once-solid entity into the most notorious ____in an era of corporate scandals.
第一个空的选项有（vindicated(证明正确的)，unmistakable(明显的)，unverifiable(不能证实的)）很显然unmistakable(明显的)填在第一空更合适。第二空not to the trading strategies but to financial ___根据空格后的提示“that turned a once-solid entity into the most notorious”该空填的应是一个negative的词，并与strategies对应games最合适（其他两个是redemption和responsibilities,第三空turned a once-solid entity into the most notorious ____in an era of corporate scandals.空格处应于once-solid entity 对应的 negative的词，从（omission，boon，debacle）三个看，显然debacle合适
8.读题障碍：cloying(l令人腻烦的)，clueless(愚蠢的)，come out of nowhere 突然出现 blow a whistle, in the know ,obscure(鲜为人知的)
解题障碍：hidebound 顽固守旧的死板保守的
Kept____by cloying commercial radio and clueless record executives, the American popular mnusic scene has frequently depended on the cities at the edges of the cultural map to provide a much-needed shot of _____. The momentary ____ what the next big thing is seems to come out of nowhere---as if someone blows a whistle only those in the know can here, and suddenly record executives and journalists are crawling all over what has previously been an obscure locale.
发现即使把生词都搞懂了，这个句子也不是很好懂，特别是那个比喻句。不过大概态度读出来就可以，估计考场上时间那么近，能读出态度就不错了。
所以提高速度的话就读句子态度加关键语句分析找对应。
首先读完句子，第一个句子有两个空，第二个句子有一个空，先填第二个句子的空。“suddenly record executives and journalists are crawling all over ” 有个感觉“很多人都要去...” 能代表很多人去干吗的选项（censensus about, indifference to, guarantee of）显然censensus about 更合适。
好了第二个句子完整了，填第一个句子。第一个句子最后一个词是一个空，那么这最后一个词一定和第二句有关，看到 "what the next big thing "然后去找对应合适的词（originality， truth , orthodoxy）,originality更合适（其实大概读完句子之后心里是有一个倾向的）。然后看第一个空 既然是a much-needed shot of original, 那么第一个空（hidebound, liberated, obligated ）hidebound更合适。其实第一次做的时候，后两个空都判断出来了，第一个空没有判断出来，是因为一没有找对应的习惯，一直坚持读懂再做题，事实证明，读了很多遍还是读懂，很浪费时间，技巧的重要性；而是由于cloying 和clueless单词意思没记住， 后来查完这两个单词，就能改对第一个空了，单词的重要性。

第三段：Her achievements were the result of a lifetime of scholarship, truly remarkable physical gifts, and resilient rhythm, all combined with excellent judgment about when not to hold the printed note sacrosanct. ...She was a genius at underlining the dramatic and emotional content of a piece, and to do so, she took liberties, all kinds of liberties, while nevertheless preserving the integrity of a composer's score.这一段再说Landowska dramatic and emotional content of a piece和integrity of a composer's score并重

分析问题：
20.问Landowska 的演奏embodied a rejection of which of the following?
其实类似于文章主旨，开头是一个矛盾the idea that....reflect the way composers wanted their music to sound replaced "showy displays of technique" 而Landowska 两者都做的很好。第一段后半部分，第二段和第三段前半部分说她的showy performance。第三段后半部分和说她的perserving the integrity of a composer's score.
所以答案是D performances emphasing showy displays of technique that comprise the integrity of a composer's original score.
21.问下面哪一个关于the compositions of Scarlatti的说法是正确的
定位第一段She demonstrated how the keybord works of Baroque composers such as Bach, Handel, Scarlatti, and Couperin probably sounded in their own times.
最后一段Then thet gradually stopped performing any kind of Baroque music on the paino,even Scarlatti's.
The paino repertoire, it began to be felt, was extensive enough without reverting to transcriptions of Broque music originally written for the harpsichord----the piano performance of Bach and Scarlatti were
因此D They were composed for instruments other than piano.
其实这个题直接定位最后一段也可以，但是最好养成读文章做简单笔记的习惯，比如大致扫一下长文章看到是属于这种很多艺术家很多人名，又有冲突的，读到冲突观点的记一下，读到人名标注一下（比如1.1第一段第一句等）
22.Landowska would probably objected most strongly to which of the following?
定位理解最后一段第一句话足矣Thanks to L, Bach's music (originally composed for the harpsichord) now sounded inappropriatedly thick when played on the piano.
23.较简单
这种长阅读，文章大概意思比较简单，态度一遍读下来应该做大部分题没问题，但是细节题，必须得定位了，长阅读定位困难，阅读时一定高效简单的记笔记。
第五篇文章
物理科技文，生词多，读一遍基本读不懂。物理词汇需要加强，需要关注下物理类的阅读。
一句句分析：
第一句：Scientists formerly believed that the rocky planets—Earth, Mercury, Venus, and Mars—were created by the rapid gravitational collapse of a dust cloud, a deflation giving rise to a dense orb. 科学家曾经的观点，后面应该有对比
第二句：That view was challenged in the 1960s, when studies of Moon craters revealed that these craters were caused by the impact of objects that were in great abundance about 4.5 billion years ago but whose number appeared to have quickly decreased shortly thereafter.
另一个观点研究Moon craters were caused by the impact of objects(abundance about 4.5 billion years ago but quickly decreased shortly thereafter.)
第三四句：This observation rejuvenated Otto Schmidt’s 1944 theory of accretion.
According to this theory, cosmic dust gradually lumped into ever-larger conglomerates: particulates, gravel, small and then larger balls, planetesimals (tiny planets), and, ultimately, planets.具体解释theory of accretion
第五句：As the planetesimals became larger, their numbers decreased. Consequently, the number of collisions between planetesimals decreased.具体解释第二句里abundance about 4.5 billion years ago but quickly decreased shortly thereafter.
发现障碍就是物理相关单词不懂造成理解的极大障碍，知道单词后再读文章思路就很清晰了
可是仍然做不对题 ╮(╯▽╰)╭
分析问题：
24.The passage provides evidence that Schmidt would be likely to disagree with the theory presented in the first sentence over
先看first sentence 理论“ rapid gravitational collapse of a dust cloud”，再看S的理论“cosmic dust gradually lumped into ever-larger conglomerates”，两个理论的对比文章中只分析了时间。所以最大的区别就是时间A. 说实话，比较难。所以这种题，真的就找对应最明显的对比，最明显的区别，足矣，不要想太多。 其实只要理解透彻，就没问题，关键是做题时间短，没有必要想太多，最直接的办法就是最准确的办法。跟想很多想通的结果是一样的。
25.问obserbation指代的是什么。前面那句话的同义转述即可。
