1. Tamland and Morenia are countries of similar size, in terms of both area and population. They have health care systems of comparable quality and similar rates of serious diseases. Motor vehicle accidents are by far the leading cause of accidental death in both countries, but motor vehicle accidents claim substantially more lives each year in Tamland than in Morenia. Average life expectancy is nevertheless higher in Tamland than it is in Morenia.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy?
(A) Morenia requires that all motor vehicles in the country have certain safety features, whereas Tamland has no such restrictions.
(B) The average age of people who die in motor vehicle accidents is much higher in Tamland than in Morenia.
(C) The number of people who own a motor vehicle is much higher in Tamland than in Morenia.
(D) Most physicians in Morenia who have special expertise in treating people injured in motor vehicle accidents received their medical training in Tamland.
(E) People who have been seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident but who survive the accident typically do not live as long as do people who have never been in a motor vehicle accident.
2. Manufacturers sometimes discount the price of a product to retailers for a promotion period when the product is advertised to consumers. Such promotions often result in a dramatic increase in amount of product sold by the manufacturers to retailers. Nevertheless, the manufacturers could often make more profit by not holding the promotions.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim above about the manufacturers’ profit?
A. The amount of discount generally offered by manufacturers to retailers is carefully calculated to represent the minimum needed to draw consumers’ attention to the product.
B. For many consumer products the period of advertising discounted prices to consumers is about a week, not sufficiently long for consumers to become used to the sale price.
C. For products that are not newly introduced, the purpose of such promotions is to keep the products in the minds of consumers and to attract consumers who are currently using competing products.
D. During such a promotion retailers tend to accumulate in their warehouses inventory bought at discount; they then sell much of it later at their regular price.
E. If a manufacturer fails to offer such promotions but its competitor offers them, that competitor will tend to attract consumers away from the manufacturer’s product.

我第一题错的原因：
tamland的摩托车事故死亡人数比Morenia高，但是T国的人平均寿命比M国高。第一题的A选项只是解释了为什么T国摩托车事故比M国高，没有解释后面的那句话，所以排除。选项B说在T国的摩托车死亡人平均年龄比M国高，就解释了T国人均寿命高于M国（连摩托车死亡人年龄都比M国高了，那其他居民的人均寿命也会相当甚至更高）。选择B。作者: h1hh 时间: 2021-7-10 22:26

这句话意思理解错了。以为生还的人数T比M多but motor vehicle accidents claim substantially more lives each year in Tamland than in Morenia.作者: 大月亮cyn 时间: 2021-10-11 11:43 Day54 1. [Paradox] E ❌ B
T和M大小和人口上都差不多，有差不多的健康系统，摩托车事故占比都很高。
摩托车事故每年Claim更多lives在T，T的平均life expectancy却比M高 ？？？
B Tamland在机动车事故中死亡的人的平均年龄比Morenia高得多。 其他条件相当，死亡年龄大于寿命长关联，正确
E 想错了，题目只说了两地人口相当，T事故中死的人多，但不代表受伤的人就少，可能总数都比M多 2. [Strengthen] D 作者: 斯麦尔糖 时间: 2021-10-14 20:07
