阅读狗和曼哈顿笔记（北美考场）

Tobelogical

北美考场，lz一战610，二战700，不得不说，lz就是个悲剧，平时prep模考760，770，GWD都是10个以内，实战就是一坨屎，幸好有CD的帮忙，阅读有4篇机经，真的帮了大忙，否则死得惨兮兮！
就记得几篇阅读

1. 蒸汽机发现导致煤炭消耗增加，跟机经没什么区别，题目也不难。

2.一个粒子的cooling role vs globe warming（JJ12）
P1：发现一个粒子a有cooling的作用，这个粒子是工厂里释放出来的。然后说有粒子的地方，虽然夜间温度会升高，但其实白天（有题）的温度并没有上升，甚至有下降，非冬日的时间温度变化也不大。
P2：讲粒子的作用和影响：1.促进云的形成；2.云会遮挡阳光（有题）；然后说实际上粒子并没有阻止全球变暖，只是掩盖着，因为一旦全球工厂停工，粒子立刻没有作用，而CO2的持续温室效应就显现出来了。
Q1：为什么粒子的作用有白天黑夜的区别？
Q2：下列哪个问题文章有回答（定位在云遮阳光部分，答案明显）？
Q3：主题题

3.商品库存，GWD原题

4.jj原文，考试稍微修改了一下，前两段虚度，不说了
Market failure is a commonly accepted view of what’s happened in the market for payment instruments. According to this view, the users of checks are the check writers. And for those individuals and businesses, the private cost, or price, of using checks has been distorted by the value of check ?oat, or the time between the writing and clearing of a check. During that time, of course, the funds can earn interest for the check writer rather than for the check receiver. The size of this bene?t is thought to have reduced the price of check use below the cost to society of producing and processing checks. Since individuals and businesses don’t face that higher social cost, they continue to use checks despite the existence of other means of payment that are less costly to society. In short, checks are overused.

That view is suspect even if the data still supported it, though （考试改为：This conventional view, however, is increasingly suspect.Q1）. (考试加入：Because of reason 1 and more and more effecient processing ..., the value of float is too small to affect .... Even though, the value is large enough, ...Q2.) The view seems to assume that only the agent on one side of a transaction—the check writer—recognizes and takes advantage of the value of float. That assumption doesn’t correspond with expected rational behavior. Since float is a transfer payment from the check receiver to the check writer, with no allocative effects overall, rational agents are likely to negotiate a mutually beneficial distribution of any significant value of float.(Q3) And, in fact, this type of negotiation is common for large payments between businesses, for which the value of float is potentially large. In practice, many business-to-business payments contractually stipulate payment transaction terms that internalize the effects of float.
题目顺序不一定准确，不过题是一样的
Q1，考试改成括号中的样子，不一定一样，但是蓝色部分是一样的，问题是：the proponent would probably agree with which of the following statements.注意这里是proponent，不是opponent，所以要到上一段中找答案，但是GMAT在这段标重，有点阴险。楼主选的是the cost to society of producing and processing is not paid directly by check writer, 不一定对，供参考。
Q2，考试加了括号中的一句话，然后问more efficient processing意味着什么？lz选的是the value of float is distorted by it. 供参考
Q3，a rational check reciever would: maximize the effect of the value of float (lz答案，定位是蓝色部分).
Q4，主题题

逻辑也有遇到狗狗，但是lz自己不够给力，语法大概错了很多。另外把lz总结的曼哈顿贴上来，大家不要只看总结，对照着原文看，lz不一定总结的对，lz认为，曼哈顿一定要看，先不要自己去总结OG，真的！

lz不想考了，太让人焦躁了，再次谢谢CD和er们！希望在准备考的筒子们一切顺利，成功杀G！

新鲜~！慕名拜读~！

请问同学一战是什么时候考的？ 我想知道12月的是否比11月的题难。多谢谢了

LZ请问一战失利后的调整，我也是prep模考三次 750 760 770，然后GWD做的31，虽然后面重题很多，但是最开始做也没超过错12，大多是8 9来着，实战640，我崩溃了，表示完全不能理解怎么回事。。。。向LZ请教建议

恭喜！
