A recent poll shows that alarge percentage of people are concerned about environmental issues. Sodonating to the environmental organization will attract new customers, increasethe use of credit card of existing customers, and allow the company to chargehigher interest rates for their credit card.
Issue

2. Du Bois写了一本书叫BlackReconstruction. 里面对美国的post civil war reconstruction进行了全新的解读。由于他的解读建立在马克思主义的基础上,所以在当时并没有受到很好的评价,然而他的这种新的观点为后来很多学者的研究开启了新的思路。(如果有时间可以看看Wikipedia上面的介绍,感觉和今天考试的原文有些接近:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Reconstruction)
3. 由于现在科技的发展,大的跨国企业经常需要进行跨国合作来获得新的科技发现,说是叫techno globalism.还提到了一些关于他们进行internationalinvestment, international licensing,忘记有什么联系了。。。 但是一些国家的政府却为了保护自己国家的comparative advantage, 不愿意进行技术的共享,这种叫做technonationalism.后面的实在想不起来了。。。
数学 1. DS,数列a(n),a(n+1)=a(n)+3,问a(100)能否被3整除 (1) a(1)+1 is divisibleby 3 (2) a(20)+2 is NOT divisibleby 3 条件好像是这样的,不能确定了记得答案选的是A
2. 一个圆上面有10个点 问可以组成多少个六边形 我选的是C(10)(6)=210
3. 定义一个符号△, k△j 代表k*(k+1)*…*(k+j-1), 比如6△4=6*7*8*9,问如果a=20△20,b=21△20,a/b=? 我选的是1/2 4. DS,x+x^2+x^3+x^4<1/(1-x)? (1) x>0 (2) x<1 好像是这样的不确定了。。。 5. ds, ab>cd? (1)a>c (2)b>d 记得选的是E 因为不知道b和d的符号 6. DS,一个两位数n,问这个数是否<30? (1) 个位数比十位上的数字大了7 (2) n=2*(个位的数字+十位的数字) 选了D,满足第一个条件的只有18和29,满足第二个条件的只有18(没错吧?) 7. ds,问n是否为odd? (1) 7*n^2+2 is odd (2) 2*n^2+7 is odd 应该是这样的,选的是A 8. 3^(s-2)*7^(t-1)=k, what is 3^s*7^t 答案是63k 9. 现在的芯片每秒可以运算1*10^12次(数字记不清了),问要完成1 million mega-operations,需要多少hour(注意前面是秒,问的是fraction of hour),一个mega-operation相当于1 million operations 答案就是用1*10^6/(3600*10^12) 好像是3*10^(-7)
