28、一页从 1开始。在计算页码时,他共打印了 189个数字 (digit)。 解:本题的正确答案是 (B)。 “digit”是 “数字 ”的意思,诸如 1, 2, 3等。 10和 1000分别是两位数 (two-digit number)和三位数 (three-digit number),每个数中分别有两个和三个 “digit”(数字 )。该打印员在打印标号时共打印了 189个数字,除去 9个仅有个位的数字,还可打印 90个两位数字,一共是 99页,与 100比较,995 。 10 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 一个长方形的检签贴在半径为 r的直圆柱上。该标签围绕圆柱体一周且不重叠,其宽度为训,
29、面积等于圆柱体底面的面积。 解:本题的正确答案为 (B)。由于该标签围绕圆柱体且不重叠,所以其 长度等于圆柱体底面的周长 =2r,则其面积 =2rw(因为这是一个长方形标签 ),圆柱体底面积为 r2,由题意可得: 2rw=r2 w=r/2 11 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 等腰三角形 (isosceles triangle)K的两条边的和为 7, K有一条边的长为 4。 解:本题的正确答案为 (D)。该题可分两种情况: (1)7是两腰的和,则 4是底边长, K的周长等于 11; (2)若 7是腰与底边和,则腰长可能为 3,也可能为 4。当腰长为 3时,对应 K周长等于 10;当腰长为 4时
30、,对应 K的周长等于 11。 12 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 长方体的 4个面被涂色 解:本题的正确答案为 (D)。比较的左项为涂色的部分占表面的比例。长方体共有六个面,虽然有 4个面涂色,但是由于不知道各面的面积大小,因而不能确定所求的比例。考生仔细考虑后就会发现,实际上,涂色的部分占表面的比例在 1/2与1之间,但不能等于 1/2和 1。 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 本题的正确答案为 (D)。 OPQ面积 =1/2OQPQsin=12.5sin, 是 QO与 PQ的夹角。因为 OPQ的面积随 的大小而 变化,所以此题为无法判断。 14 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 在一个
31、平面直角坐标系中,直线 k在 x轴上的截距为 4,其斜率为2。 解:本题的正确答案是 (A)。根据点斜式可以写出该直线的方程如下: Y=-2(x-4)=-2x+8。当 x=0时, y=8,也即直线 k在 y轴上的截距为 8。 15 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 小于 20且等于 3的正倍数 (positive multiple)与 4的正倍数的和的正整数有多少个 ?解:本题的正确答案是 (D)。满足题中要求的正整数可表示为:n=3a+4b(a,b1) 所以满足题目要求的数共有 10个。本题不一定非数出 10个不可,当数出 7个以上时,就可猜出10就是正确答案,因为不可能是 19个。 16 【
32、正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 下面哪一个数最接近 2/3? 解:本题的正确答案为 (E)。该题中五个选项的数值均可表示为 2/3+余项,余项分别为 1/12, 1/6, 1/9, 1/15, 1/21。而分母值越大,余项值就越小,就越接近 2/3,所以最接近 2/3的数是 15/21。 17 【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 两个连续正整数的积不能是: 解:本题的正确答案 是 (E)。解决这类数字规律题一般情况下应采用排除法,通过找反例的途径来排除错误选项。 (A)不对,因为惟一的例外是 12=2; (B)显然不对,如 10与 11, 11与 12等; (C)同理也不对; (D)两个连续整数的积
33、是一个偶数是肯定的,但完全可以大于 10,所以不对。 (E)找不到反例,两个连续正整数的积的个位数不可能为 4。两个连续整数的积的个位数是由它们的个位数的积所决定的,考生很容易发现在 0到 9这 10个数中任意两个连续整数的积的个位数都不等于 4,即两个连续整数的积的个位数不可能是 4。 18 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 上式中哪一个因子 (factor)的值减小 1将导致该式的乘积减少最大 ? 解:本题的正确答案为 (A)。设 n为上式中的任一个因子,则当 n减少 1时,其乘积将减少 1/n,所以 n越小时减少的越多。 19 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 某一街道上 10个家庭的家庭收
34、入在 34,000美元至 150,000美元之间,平均 (算术平均 )家庭收入为 60,000美元。若把收入最高的家庭和收入最低的家庭排除在外,那么剩余 8个家庭的平均收入是多少 ? 解:本题的正确答案是 (C)。由题意可得: (6000010 - 34000 - 150000)8=52,000美元 20 【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 在某一数轴 (number line)上,假如 -7与 n的距离是 4,且 7与 n的距离是 18,问 n等于多少 ? 解:本题的正确答案是 (E)。涉及数轴上的两个数距离问题,要用到绝对值的概念。由题义可得:根据第一个条件, n=-11或 -3;根据第二个条
35、件, n=-11或 25;所以 n=-11。考生在解答此类题目时,一定要注意下面这句话的确切含义: (1)7 is a distance of 4 from n (2)7 is the distance of 4 from n 上面第一句话用了不定冠词,应理解为 7与 n之间的距离是 4;第二句话用了定冠词,应理解为 7是 4和 n之间的距离。 21 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 在一个拥有 400名警察的毕业班中, 30是女生,并且在这些女生中,有 1/5的人当教师。假如男生中当教师的人数是女生中当教师的人数的两倍,问有多少男生当教师 ? 解:本题的正确答案是 (B)。根据题意可得:男生当
36、教师的人数 =400301/52=48。 22 【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 单独工作时,一个小水泵充满一个空水箱所花的时间是大水泵的两倍。两个水泵保持其各自通常的速度共同工作时,共需花 6个小时灌满水箱。若小水泵单独工作时,需花多长时间才能灌满水箱 ? 解:本题的正确答案是 (E)。设小水泵需花 x小时灌满水箱,则大小泵需花 x/2小时灌满小箱,由题意可得: (1/x + 2/x)6=1 x=18 23 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 一名园丁想将 5种花丛种成一直排,每种花丛开不同颜色的花 (白色、黄色、粉红、红色和紫色 ),有多少种种植方法可使中间的一种为开红色花 的花丛 ? 解:本题
37、的正确答案为 (A)。 5个元素中第 3个为红色,另外 4个为剩下的 4种颜色,所以本题安排为 24种。 24 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 一个罐子中装有 100粒果冻豆: 50粒白的, 30粒绿的, 10粒黄的, 5粒红的, 4粒紫的, l粒黑的。若从中随机挑出一粒果冻豆,问该粒果冻豆既不是紫色,又不是红色的概率是多大 ? 解:本题的正确答案是 (D)。因为红色有 5粒,紫色有 4粒,且挑出任一粒的概率相同,所以随机挑出的果冻豆既不是红色又不是紫色的概率为: (100-9)/100=0.91 25 【 正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 表头题目:上周市场 X中的出纳员的总工作小时数及其每小时
38、的工资。 注:上周任何时候工作的出纳员的人数都不会超过 2人,每个出纳员同一天工作都不超过 12小时,且每天出纳员的工作都是持续不断的。 问:在上周六,市场 X开业 15小时,并且仅有 4名出纳员工作,问那一天市场付给出纳员最大的工资量是多少 ? 解:本题的正确答案是 (C)。问最大可能的工资量,则使工资高的出纳员工作的时间尽可能地长,且任何时候都是 2人同时工作,因此应使 S和 T各工作 12小时,R和 Q各工作 3小时,工资量为: (5.5+5.5)12+(5+4.75)3=161.25 26 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 若市场 X每周开业 96小时,问上一周两个出纳员同时工作的小时数
39、是多少 ? 解:本题的正确答案是 (A)。出纳员工作总小时数为: 40+32+26+25+22=145出纳员同时工作的小时数为: 145-96=49小时 27 【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 若出纳员 S的每小时工资增长 10,并且 S每周的工作小时数比上一周的总数下降 10,若 S的每周总工资有所变化的话,问其变化是多少 ? 解:本题的正确答案为 (E)。 S上周的每小时工资为 $5.5/小时,则增长后的工资为5.5(1+10%)=6.05;而 S工作小时数比上周下降 10则 S共工作了: 25(1-10 )=22.5;则 S总工资为: 22.56.05=136.125;所以工资的变化为: 5.525-136.125=1.375。
