GRE考试阅读理解试题练习I

　　1. Patel: Although enrollment in the region's high school has been decreasing for several years, enrollment at the elementary school has grown considerably. Therefore, the regional school board proposes building a new elementary school.

　　Quintero: Another solution would be to convert some high school classrooms temporarily into classrooms for elementary school students.

　　Which of the following, if true, most helps to support Quintero's alternative proposal?

　　(A) Some rooms at the high school cannot be con-verted into rooms suitable for the use of ele-mentary school students.

　　(B) The cost of building a high school is higher than the cost of building an elementary school.

　　(C) Although the birth rate has not increased, the number of families sending their children to the region's high school has increased markedly.

　　(D) A high school atmosphere could jeopardize the safety and self-confidence of elementary school students.

　　(E) Even before the region's high school population began to decrease, several high school class-rooms rarely needed to be used.

　　2. Peter: More than ever before in Risland, college graduates with science degrees are accepting permanent jobs in other fields. That just goes to show that scientists in Risland are not being paid enough.

　　Lila: No, it does not. These graduates are not working in science for the simple reason that there are not enough jobs in science in Risland to employ all of these graduates.

　　Which of the following, if true in Risland, would most undermine the reasoning in Peter's argument?

　　(A) The college graduates with science degrees who are not working in science are currently earning lower salaries than they would earn as scientists.

　　(B) Fewer college students than ever before are receiving degrees in science.

　　(C) The number of jobs in science has steadily risen in the last decade.

　　(D) A significant number of college graduates with science degrees worked at low-paying jobs while they were in college.
