英语竞赛智力题含答案(2)

29.A car traveled from A to B in 30 minutes. The first half of the trip was covered at 50 mph, and the second half at 60 mph. What was the

average speed?

400/11 - 500/11 - 600/11 - 700/11

答案是600/11英里，这是一道计算题，我们设平均时速为X，则0.25X/50+0.25X/60=0.5，进而可得X=600/11，因此该选600/11。

30.If 4 percent of (p + q) is 8 and p is a positive integer, what is the greatest possible value of q ?

196 - 197 - 198 - 199

答案是199，这是一道数学题，(p + q)的4%是8，因此p+q=200，我们设p=1，1是最小的

正整数，则可知q的最大值是199。

31.There are five employees--G, H, I, J, and K--in an office. Rumors spread through the office according to the following rules; Rumors can be passed in either direction between J and K. Rumors can be passed from G to H, from H to I, and from I to K. A rumor begun by H that reaches J will be known by all the following employees EXCEPT?

I - G - K - H - J

答案是G，这题看起来挺麻烦，其实很简单，H会把传言告诉I，I告诉K，K再告诉J，因此最后只有G不会听到这个传言。

32.Which one of the following five is least like the other four?

Jakarta - Teheran - Madrid - Munich

答案是Munich（慕尼黑），这道题考的是你的地理知识，雅加达是印度尼西亚的首都，德黑兰是印度首都，马德里是西班牙的首都，而慕尼黑虽然是世界闻名的大城市，但却不是德国的首都，德国的首都是柏林。因此应该选Munich（慕尼黑）。

36.Steve bought some apples at a cost of $.60 each and some oranges at a cost of $.50 each. If he paid a total of $4.10 for a total of 8 apples

and oranges, how many apples did Steve buy ?

1 - 2 - 3 - 5

答案是1，这是一道小学数学题，我们可以设Steve买了X个苹果，则有0.6X+0.5(7-X)=4.1，对这个方程求解可得X=1，Steve买了1个苹果。

37.Select the answer-pair that expresses a relationship most similar to that expressed in the capitalized pair. STATE - CONFEDERACY ?

apple - tree ，address - envelope ，binoculars - sight ，soldier - army 答案是soldier - army（战士-军队），原搭配中的前一个单词从属于后一个单词，因此各答案中只有soldier - army（战士-军队）的搭配是最贴切的。

38.If x is an integer, which of the following CANNOT be an even integer?

2x + 2 ，x - 5 ，2x + 3 ，5x + 2

答案是2x + 3，x是一个整数，2x就是一个偶数，2x +3则必然是一个奇数，因此选择2x +3。

39.Mark the nonfitting word!

Cheese - Butter - Margarine - Yoghurt

答案是Margarine（人造黄油），Cheese（奶酪）、Curd（凝乳）与Yoghurt（酸奶）都是乳制品，因此该选Margarine--人造黄油。

Rafwd - Anm - Niatg - Sreoh

答案是Rafwd，这是一道很好玩的智力题，我们把字母重新安排一下可以得到Dwarf, man, giant, horse 这几个新词，它们依次是侏儒、人、巨人和马，当然是Dwarf（侏儒）最小了。

43.What is the next number in the following sequence?

1 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 8 - 13

答案是21，序列中每一个数字都是前两个数字的和，最后的两个数是8和13，因此下一个数就是8与13的和。

44.If n is an odd integer, which one of the following is an even integer?

n*n - n/4 - 2n + 3 - n(n + 3)

答案是n(n + 3)，n是一个奇数，(n + 3)就是一个偶数，它们的乘积一定是一个偶数。
