Boldface一开始做十做八错,后来在看了两位NN关于阅读的方法后(不好意思啊,找不到了哈,就记得一个是用口译法画的,一个是根据Manhattan RC再自编的),运用在boldface上,加自创一套BF indicator画法,自此做BF题就没再错过了,piece of cake了。
GWD1-Q3:
A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price.Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies who want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product.But large profits on the mew product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the mew product’s capabilities.Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.
A.The first is an assumption that forms the basis for a course of action that the argument criticizes; the second presents the course of action endorsed by the argument.
B.The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy.
C.The first is an assumption that has been used to justify a certain strategy; the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that assumption.
D.The first is a consideration raised in support of a strategy the argument endorses; the second presents grounds in support of that consideration.
E.The first is a consideration raised to show that adopting a certain strategy is unlikely to achieve the intended effect; the second is presented to explain the appeal of that strategy.

GWD1-Q22:
City Official:At City Hospital, uninsured patients tend to have shorter stays and fewer procedures performed than do insured patients, even though insured patients, on average, have slightly less serious medical problems at the time of admission to the hospital than uninsured patients have.Critics of the hospital have concluded that the uninsured patients are not receiving proper medical care.However, this conclusion is almost certainly false.Careful investigation has recently shown two things:insured patients have much longer stays in the hospital than necessary, and they tend to have more procedures performed than are medically necessary.

GWD3-Q16:
Economist:Tropicorp, which constantly seeks profitable investment opportunities, has been buying and clearing sections of tropical forest for cattle ranching, although pastures newly created there become useless for grazing after just a few years.The company has not gone into rubber tapping, even though greater profits can be made from rubber tapping, which leaves the forest intact.Thus, some environmentalists conclude that Tropicorp has not acted wholly out of economic self-interest.However, these environmentalists are probably wrong.The initial investment required for a successful rubber-tapping operation is larger than that needed for a cattle ranch.Furthermore, there is a shortage of workers employable in rubber-tapping operations, and finally, taxes are higher on profits from rubber tapping than on profits from cattle ranching.
In the economist’s argument, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
