One difference between real alloys and t
11、he hard spheres used in Bernal models is that the 10 components of an alloy have different sizes, so that models based on two sizes of spheres are more appropriate for a binary alloy, for example. The smaller metalloid atoms of the alloy might fit into holes in the dense, random-packed structure of
12、the larger metal atoms.4. The authors speculation about the appropriateness of models using spheres of two sizes for binary alloys would be strongly supported if models using spheres of two sizes yieldedA values for density identical to values yielded by one-sphere models using the smaller spheres o
13、nlyB values for density agreeing nearly perfectly with experimentally determined valuesC values for density agreeing nearly perfectly with values yielded by models using spheres of three sizesD significantly different values for density depending on the size ratio between the two kinds of spheres us
14、edE the same values for density as the values for appropriately chosen models that use only medium-sized spheres答案：B新GRE逻辑阅读练习题Questions 5 and 6 are based on the following reading passage.One of the principal themes of Walzers critique of liberal capitalism is that it is insufficiently egalitarian.W
15、alzers case against the economic inequality generated bycapitalism and in favor of a radical redistribution of 5 wealth is presented in a widely cited essay entitled In Defense of Equality.

However, all that is visible of the constituents of the Milky Ways
31、corona (outer edge),where much of the galaxys mass must be located, is a tiny fraction of the coronas mass. Thus, most of the Milky Ways outlying matter must be dark. Why? Three facts are salient. First, dwarf galaxies and globular clusters, into which most of the stars of the Milky Ways corona are
32、probably bound, consist mainly of old stars. Second, old stars are not highly luminous. Third, no one has detected in the corona the clouds of gaseous matter such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide that are characteristic of the bright parts of a galaxy.10. The passage as a whole is primarily concerned
33、 with(A) analyzing a current debate(B) criticizing a well-established theory(C) showing how new facts support a previously dismissed hypothesis(D) stating a conclusion and adducing evidence that may justify it(E) contrasting two types of phenomena and showing how they are related11.
