11月6日上海一战710，回报CD，JJ奉献（更新作文题及岛链选项）

jenny521

做完前三篇阅读感觉能上750，不过后来的语法和逻辑都很难，选项非常迷惑，分数就掉下来了，有点遗憾。这两天的JJ很少，我来说一些，G友们加油哦！

其他的等我想到了再来补上。

作文：AA: “The Saluda Consolidated High School offers over 200 different courses from which its students can choose. A much smaller private school down the street offers a basic curriculum of only 80 different courses, but it consistently sends a higher proportion of its graduating seniors on to college than Consolidated does. By eliminating at least half of the courses offered there and focusing on a basic curriculum, we could improve student performance at Consolidated and also save many tax dollars.”

AI: “All groups and organizations should function as teams in which everyone makes decisions and shares responsibilities and duties. Giving one person central authority and responsibility for a project or task is not an effective way to get work done.”

数学遇到那套餐题，我选的是C41*C82*C31

语法：考了一题GWD
Most of Portugal’s 250,000 university students boycotted classes in a one-day strike to protest a law that requires them to contribute $330 a year toward the cost of higher education, previously paying $7 per year.
A. year toward the cost of higher education, previously paying $7 per year
B. year toward the cost of higher education, for which was previously paid $7 per year
C. year, compared to the previously $7 per year, toward the cost of higher education
D. year toward the cost of higher education, instead of the $7 per year required previously
E. year as opposed to the $7 per year required previously for the cost of higher education
Answer: D

有一个sth invoke ... 选项有1. the way in which A, B, C to do... ; 2. A, B, C to do等
有个credit ...with, 还有题是annually / a year 重复
有个是说Jean-Michel Basquiat isn't A of the United States visual art_____ C，选项有as much as, so much as, rather than, instead of等，我选的rather than, 不确定。。。
没碰到之前JJ说的主谓一致和not only, but also…

逻辑：
JJ 1: X1(收藏品商人): watercolor painting 对画家有很高的要求。因为这个画家不仅仅要会使用watercolor,还要会使用other mediums such as oil
X2: this is true. However, 现在的watercolor都是amateur在画，the inferior quality of those watercolor paintings make them less attractive to the buyers.
问X2 alleges the flaw in X1 by suggesting which of the following about the collection of paintings by famous artists?
我选的答案是差的艺术家把好的艺术家的作品价值拉低了。

JJ 2: 珊瑚里面有珊瑚虫，水温高的话，珊瑚会bleach，说一个地方的珊瑚都bleach了，一定是因为该海域温度升高的原因，问削弱？ 我选石油污染导致的珊瑚虫死亡

JJ 3: 说唱片业销售差，因为人们可以在网上下载音乐，然后厂商们搞了个调查，弄到了消费者爱听的歌手，歌曲和其他东东。问能推出什么结论，答案有1、厂商以前没有重视消费者需求；2、厂商销售将增长；3、调查（还是网络下载的普及）对厂商带来了一些好处等等 我选的3

阅读：4篇都是JJ上的，题目不太一样

第一篇是海藻: 高亮 algae问作用,选生物链最底层

第二篇是夏威夷海链：选项比较搞，在原JJ的内容上有点补充，磁石融化时磁极是指向POLE的，磁石固态后，磁极就统一指向另外的一个方向，然后crust distortion会破坏留有这些指向标记的岩石（有题）。
有一题问岛链indicate什么？选项有：1、夏威夷岛和帝王火山链是由同一个hotspot形成的；2、显示了an ancient movement of the plate；我选的是由一个hotspot形成的，因为觉得ancient不对，供参考。

第三篇是两地女神雕像，也是长文章，我那时感觉能冲高分，可惜了。
1、问如果雕像是deity的话会有什么特征，我选的是有garb什么的
2、问infer出在pottery age之前美索不达米亚的雕像是什么样的，答案是那时还没有雕像，原文中说美的雕像是和pottery age同时产生的。
3、问近东的不是女神像，是因为什么特征？答案是与其他什么比较的，原文可定位。

最后一篇是德国失业救济
问如何减少德国失业率？答案是提高工资，其他选项有增加人民对工作的需求等，没有raise the consumers’ purchasing power选项

太神奇了，我遇到的阅读，海藻在最后一篇，2，3和lz完全一样。

也是做到第三篇觉得能冲高分，但是水平有限，遗憾了！

考了很久了，上来感叹下！

呵呵，GMAT这东西运气也占很大一部分的，在职复习的，不会二战了，勉强够用，只能多花点时间在材料准备上了

ohohh

楼主能不能帮忙确认下这是不是夏威夷海链的原文,我先帖两段.

Because the earth’s magnetic field varies in both time and space, rock magnetization provides two ways to determine how plates have moved. First, geologists can study the time variation. At irregular time intervals, the planet’s field reverses polarity: the North and South magnetic poles switch places. Consider what that means for lava erupting at mid-ocean ridges. When the rock emerges and cools, the magnetization of its minerals lines up like magnetic filings pointing, say, to the north. Plate tectonics then carries the rocks away from the ridge. After several hundred thousand years or so, the polarity flips, and from that moment newly formed rocks are magnetized the opposite way. These, too, are carried away from the ridge. The polarity eventually flips back, and the cycle continues. The result is a series of horizontal stripes recorded in the oceanic crust, alternating between north-pointing and south-pointing magnetic minerals—a geologic version of tree rings. Geologists date the stripes by matching them against the timeline of polarity reversals. They then use time and distance data to calculate a plate’s direction and speed rela­tive to an adjoining plate.

The second technique exploits the fact that the direction of the earth’s magnetic field has two components: horizontal (declination) and vertical (inclination). When you rely on a com­pass to find the direction of north, you use the declination, but if you look closely at the com­pass needle, you will see that it is also tilted slightly with respect to the horizontal. As Neil Opdyke of the University of Florida demon­strated in a classic study in the late 1960s, the inclination is directly related to latitude. Mea­suring inclination reveals the latitude where the rock originally formed and hence the minimum distance that the plate must have moved since then.

LS，不是原文哈

恭喜LZ~
