8 at large amusement parks, live shows are used very deliberately to influence crowd movements. Lunchtime performances relieve the pressure on a park’s restaurants. Evening performances have a rather different purpose: to encourage visitors to stay for supper. Behind this surface divergence in immediate purpose there is the unified underlying goal of__________.

B enhancing revenue by attracting people who come only for the live shows and then leave the park

E utilizing the restaurants at optimal levels for as much of the day as possible

49 sales campaign aimed at the faltering personal computer market have strongly emphasized ease of use, called user-friendliness. This emphasis is oddly premature and irrelevant in the eyes of most potential buyers, who are trying to address the logically prior issue of whether_____________.

E they have enough sensible uses for a personal computer to justify the expense of buying one

131 despite the approach of winter, oil prices to industrial customers are exceptionally low this year and likely to remain so. Therefore, unless the winter is especially severe, the price of natural gas to industrial customers is also likely to remain low.

B the industrial users who consume most natural gas can quickly and cheaply switch to using oil instead

E oil distribution is more likely to be affected by severe winter weather than is the distribution of natural gas.

8. (B)选项有一个only，就要提高警觉，只有单纯看秀不吃饭的人。跟本文中讨论live
show & restaurants就不合啦，因为餐厅要吃饭。

49这题我的想法是对于逻辑强的消费者，喜欢用数字评估东西，来判断有没有一分钱一分货，而user-friendliness看不到、摸不到，很难评估，所以会对他们而言是一种困扰，他们喜欢看到数据化的陈述。

131
讨论oil
gas与natural gas的价格，议题焦点在$，因此E讲distribution，可视为无关选项。

以下是引用Jackie88在2007-6-23 22:37:00的发言：
谢谢指教，不过49题还是不太信服哦。。。因为原来的电脑已经很友好了，就不需要新的型号了，这样理解不行吗？

注意题中的premature and irrelevant. irrelevant, 无关. A考虑原来的电脑的friendliness不就relevant了吗?

如果现有的计算机型号在user-friendly是不错的，为何这群人会觉得oddly premature and irrelevant?这是我当初看的时候觉得很奇怪的地方。因为句中写potential buyers就表示他有想要买的意愿，不是已经满足了的人。加上whether这个字是「是否」，后面句意是：其重视….不管是否够不够user-friendly。

或许有其它人可以给意见，可能还有更好可以跟你解释的说法。
