Integrated Reasoning

(50新题)

Article

1 The expenses related to sponsoring a
2 conference can be immense. An organization
3 sponsoring a conference can recoup these
4 expenses through registration fees and
5 partnership with the host hotel. As part of the
6 partnership, the host hotel sets aside a block
7 of rooms for conference attendees, with rooms
8 available at a slightly higher-than-normal rate.
9 While most conference attendees prefer to
10 stay in the host hotel, they often follow an
11 alternate strategy to avoid the extra cost of
12 reserving a room within the block at the host
13 hotel. Some attendees reserve rooms outside
14 the host hotel-the ROHH strategy. Others
15 reserve rooms outside the block-the ROB
16 strategy.
17 Conference sponsors have succeeded in
18 countering these strategies by increasing the
19 conference registration fee by a fixed amount
20 and then offering an equivalent registration fee
21 discount to attendees who book rooms in the
22 block. A study has shown that if this registration
23 discount is equal to at least half the potential
24 savings of an attendee’s particular cost-saving
25 strategy, the attendee is much more likely to
26 reserve a room within the block.

Weekend Conferences
1 Ten conferences are scheduled for the same
2 weekend in City X. For each conference, the
3 table lists the conference sponsor, the
4 registration fee, the discounted registration fee
5 (if any),the host hotel, the rate for rooms in the
6 block at the host hotel, and the lowest rate for
7 an available room in the host hotel during that
8 same weekend. Conference attendees will
9 require two nights lodging, and all room rates
10 are per guest, per night, assuming two guests
11 per room. The lowest rate for an available room
12 in City X on this same weekend is ＄65.

第一题当中答案上只是比较采取ROB和within block的花费哪个大，不是应该discounted　ｆｅｅ超过前者ｓａｖｅｄ　ｍｏｎｅｙ的一半就可以了么？

如果discounted fee－registration fee＞2(block rate－lowest rate)就选No

题目中不是说省下一半的钱还是会选择在block里面住的，为什么这里不用考虑这个因素？

我觉得好像是小问里有提供思路的，就按照小问的思路，小问里没提供思路的，比如第三题，就按照你说的那个因素~

因为第一题问的是实际花费少的，而不是愿意不愿意的问题。算实际花费就好。
