BJ 1012晚场 750 大龄 N战 - 感恩+打气贴

考完了就叫了哥们出去喝酒，回来后试着回忆了一些钩钩，赶紧奉上，供大家参考。

AWA

The following appeared as part of an article in the business section of a local newspaper.
“The owners of the Cumquat Cafe evidently made a good business decision in moving to a new location, as can be seen from the fact that the Cafe will soon celebrate its second anniversary there. Moreover, it appears that businesses are not likely to succeed at the old location: since the Cafe’s move, three different businesses—a tanning salon, an antique emporium, and a pet–grooming shop—have occupied its former spot.”

“The most effective business leaders are those who maintain the highest ethical standards.”

数学钩钩遇到有接近一半吧，剩下的都不太难，没啥纠结的，做的比较仔细，提前7分钟做完，两分钟眼保健操：

语法：有两道原题
Some scientists contend that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal’s than a cold-blooded reptile’s.
A.    that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like
B.    that the metabolism of many dinosaur species were more like
C.    that the metabolisms of many species of dinosaurs were more like those of
D.    there were many species of dinosaurs that had metabolisms more like those of
 E.   there were many dinosaur species that had a metabolism more like that of
正解为A，

但是此题是变体，划线部分为：

Some scientists contend that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal’s than a cold-blooded reptile’s.
  
很遗憾，我做错了。

Both the Federal Reserve’s decision that borrowing rates be raised, along with investor’s speculation that another increase might be on the way, helped bolster the dollar in recent weeks by making deposits more attractive.

A.     that borrowing rates be raised, along with investor’s speculation that another increase might be on the way, helped bolster the dollar in recent weeks by making
B.      that borrowing rates be raised and investors’ speculation of possibly another increase on the way helped to bolster the dollar in recent weeks because they made
C.     to raise borrowing rates and investors’ speculation that another increase might be on the way helped to bolster the dollar in recent weeks by making
D.     to raise borrowing rates, along with investors’ speculation that another increase might be on the way, helped bolster the dollar in recent weeks because it made
E.      to raise borrowing rates and investors’ speculation of possibly another increase on the way helped bolster the dollar in recent weeks because they made

突然想起SC一题，

题意是“如果你不想再收到（此类）邮件，请致电客服取消mail service”

A) If you ....., call customer service to be removed from mail list

C) If you ......, it is necessary to call customer service to ...

一道状语从句，五个选项中，四个选项的主句没有主语，像是祈使句，看起来相当不爽，纠结了一阵。

最后我好像选了A

以下引用钩钩：
23 出处: 今天杀G后带回的一些钩钩！  zz20090607
考了很多关于比较的用法：….sales decreased 3 times (3 times that of ) the expected overall rate;　还有ｍｏｒｅ　ｔｈａｎ　＊＊＊ 　ｄｏｅｓ．．．

前十的SC比较简单，考点点清晰；后面的就越做越纠结，直接扰乱了我的Pace，很多用语法知识点可以排除两三个，剩下的两三个就只能凭感觉。我没有遇到一道全划线的，估计做的不好，就不误导大家了。

逻辑：
没有传说中那么难，也没遇到BF题，也没有题干特别长的；基本上所有的题干都读懂了，但是有几题选项很纠结。

37、植物畅销
V1 fromcsillia 
一种J植物是C植物里最畅销的，原因是J植物超过了卖的C植物里的10％。问假设。选至少种了10种C植物。

此题比较确定

77、留学生更优秀？
V1 from babee2queen
在异域学习的学生比原来参加测试的学生ABC三个方面优秀，所以说对外国文化有兴趣的学生ABC方面优秀weaken: 远程的学生本来overall performance就好

4、猴子与人类的祖先----WK
一种猴子会在树上直立行走，两手起平衡作用，而这种猴子、猩猩、人类似乎有共同的祖先。那么猴子会在树上走的事实，推翻了人类祖先是在草原上学会直立行走这一论点。问weaken， 我选除了这种猴子和人类，其他的类人猿什么的都不能够在树上直立行走。

（最后遇到的，没时间了，没有选择确认）

有一道说打疫苗的：
Measles等等病（列了三种，只认识一个）的疫苗可以有效防止病的发生。某个城市的医生发现，他们在给一些人打疫苗加强针，发现很多人体内还有抗体；因此医生们建议：应该增加打疫苗加强针的间隔时间。问削弱。
我选：新近的疫苗和老的疫苗有无区别（大概这个意思吧）。我的理解是：题干中的情况只能说以前的疫苗效率高质量好，但是后来的疫苗是不是也同样好，无法证明。

阅读四篇钩钩：

1，市场调研和网络调研的优缺点
2，鸡骨头
3，加州中国劳工
4，生物多样性
钩钩已经很清晰，读的时候较快，做题回原文定位，还算顺利。

说些tips，希望有所帮助:
1，关于Pace，我本来的计划是经典的75,54,36,18。但是根据我Prep和其他考友的经验，我觉得前十题虽然重要，但是不能太慢，否则后面的压力会更大。SC, CR前十题会比较简单，阅读篇幅一般的分布是1短，2中，3长，4中；因此正常发挥的话，越到后面花的时间越多。今天我做前十还是比较利索的，59的时候就完成了，但是到20题的时候，时间就剩下34了。后面就是一通赶，最后10题15分钟，最终两题没有做。把握好pace无非两点，一是有实力，阅读快、语法知识点熟，二就是有钩钩相助了。

2，有个网友在帖子中推荐过“左手五指辅助排除法”（据说来源于XDF） ，即：左手张开，五指伸展；五指由远致近分别对应ABCDE；开始做题时五指悬空，排除掉某个选项，就让对应手指放在桌子上，最后比较剩下还在“悬着”的选项。熟练之后，可有效避免在纠结时重复读已排除选项。

3，钩钩的使用，推荐参考此帖http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=22&ID=390083&page=1

最后也不免俗，说些废话：
N战的人都不容易，每次备战都是时间和金钱的投资以及机会成本的丧失；而且越是后面的失败对信心打击越大，直至信心接近冰点，甚至家人朋友也对我如此执着一个考试产生怀疑。个中滋味只有N战过的人才能体会。因此最重要的是自己调整心态，强迫自己不要想负面的事情，专注在备战上。此话道理简单，说来也容易，但做起来就不简单了。因为保持良好心态不焦虑的第一要素就是要有信心，而信心来源于成绩与别人的肯定，这就与屡战屡败的状况形成了一个死结。坚持到最后就是要自己打破这个死结。我在后期备战中，时不时的就看些心理方面的文章，也到CD逛逛，那个“平衡”的帖子很好，我读过几遍，还有那个“烧不死的鸟就是凤凰”的帖子，给予了我力量。今天终于结束，对CD充满感恩之心，因为有CD的存在，我知道我不是一个人在战斗。

最后祝愿N战的同学们都勇敢地挑战自己，直至取得最后的成功！

谢谢LZ的寂静

关于“鸡骨头”的阅读向问一下，现有寂静我没看懂

文章最后到底有没有推翻Storey领导的小组的假设，认为波利尼西亚人比哥伦比更早到达美洲大陆？

回4楼，这篇文章是挑战storey的论据——DNA的相似性。作者严重质疑了这个论据，但是没有完全推翻storey的结论。这个结论还有待进一步研究的意思。

A.     that borrowing rates be raised, along with investor’s speculation that another increase might be on the way, helped bolster the dollar in recent weeks by making
B.      that borrowing rates be raised and investors’ speculation of possibly another increase on the way helped to bolster the dollar in recent weeks because they made
C.     to raise borrowing rates and investors’ speculation that another increase might be on the way helped to bolster the dollar in recent weeks by making
D.     to raise borrowing rates, along with investors’ speculation that another increase might be on the way, helped bolster the dollar in recent weeks because it made
E.      to raise borrowing rates and investors’ speculation of possibly another increase on the way helped bolster the dollar in recent weeks because they made

LZ这题是选C么？好面熟啊，汗。。

左手五指辅助排除法? 

还以为只有自己这么傻在按呢，原来不仅有同道中人，方法还被上升到武功高度~~

不过刚好相反：我按在台面的手指是剩余选项。

我觉得自家的好些：因为考试不可能还有空看哪个指头悬空。靠感觉而言，悬空肯定没有触感明显。例如小指拇指有压力，思维就很容易被引导到相应的AE上面。

沾点好运~~赫赫`~
LZ的精神可嘉!也为你有这么好的分数而高兴~~~~~~~~~
