verbal只得了二十多分～～太丢人了

最近学习态度有问题，在明知道还有5天就有考试的前提下，还是花了很多宝贵的时间在follow tvb的电视剧上，，，结果就是不出意外的遭到打击～只能准备下个月二战了，300刀，心疼啊

AWA:

Argument: 国家W的主要经济是来自于它的几个国家公园所吸引到的游客，但是随着工业污染的加重，visitors will no long visit these parks, 但是最近在公园里发现了大量的矿石，所以advisors建议 政府允许公司去开采这些矿，这些公司revenue所交的税可以成为国家的经济来源，并且可以为之前在这些national parks工作的人提供继续的就业机会。advisors因此说，permitting mining is the best way to 解决W的经济 （也可能是‘有利于它的经济平稳’原文是什么不计得了）

ISSUE：no one can possibly achieve any real and lasting success or get rich in business by conforming to conventional practices or ways of thinking (题库81题）

quantitative: fan同学辛苦整理的JJ非常非常有用，大概有10道左右JJ中都有出现过，尤其是最近3天的，出现的比较多，因此不知道可不可以inference一下，机经重复出现机率 ‘本周的>本月的>去年本月的’

1. 按照三角形阶梯排列数字，第一行是n个，第二行的个数 is 3 more than the row before it， 问第20行有多少个数，告诉n=5了

等差数列，加上去就可以了

2.问(m,p)在第几象限？（题里给出了一个坐标轴，并且指出了（1，0）（0，1）两点的位置

（1）（1-m,1-p)在第二象限 （在图里是左上角）

（2)  具体记不清了，但可以求出 m是大于0的，但是p可以大于，也可以小于0

3. 8^x / 9^y ,x y是给出的，问得多少，最后的答案 a,b都是8的一个多少次方，c,d,e是 （8^w)×（72^v),w,v都是有具体数值的，这道题花了我一些时间，当时一看72有点蒙，没有想明白是怎么来的，汗，题本身其实并不难

RC:
    

有些经济学家提出增加储蓄利率对经济有好处，因为利率增加了，人们就会更偏向于存钱进银行，这样银行就有更多的钱可以借给企业，借款利率就会下降，这样企业就会借钱去扩大规模或者借钱投资。但是作者说，人们把更多的钱存进银行，那就意味着花的钱就少了，这样企业就会担心自己的产品的销售会下降，这样他们就不会仅因为借款利率下降而去借钱，相反他们会考虑其他多方面的社会因素来决定是否扩大投资。中间还说道，如果企业产品卖不出去，就会裁员或者降低工资等等。所有这些最终都会使利率回复到原有的水平（或者是消费者所花的钱会回到原来的水平，记不清楚了）。作者认为通过升高存款利率的方法来保持经济稳定发展是行不通的。

另一篇是说动物适应环境，具体说的是蛇，说有A蛇，B蛇，C蛇，他们生活在不同的环境中，B好像是SEA SNAKE，三种蛇的心脏长的位置不一样，这样他们的血液流到大脑，以及从尾巴循环回心脏的能力就不一样，另外还讲了B蛇，在水中可以靠水压平衡，使血液容易回到心脏，但是把它拿到陆地上来以后，发现它变迟缓了之类的。

还有一篇是说行星的，有些DD是不能radiation的，但是他们会吸收掉边上的一个DD，然后让自己的转速变快，并且最终可以再次成为planet，etc....

最后一篇记不得了

总的说阅读文章不难，选项有一半都问的比较细，不直接，所以很花时间，也有可能是我已经掉进了低分题库，所以阅读就没有给我出难文章～～！

先写到这里吧，，写写JJ才知道，原来连续几天不睡觉记忆力真的会下降，越想越觉得脑袋里一团浆糊～～自己都BS自己了～！

250刀吗  怎么是300刀呢

2战必胜！加油

Many economists believe that a   high rate of business savings in the  United States is a necessary precursor to investment, because business savings, as opposed to personal savings, comprise almost three-quarters of the national savings rate, and the national savings rate heavily influences the overall rate of business investment. These economists further postulate that real interest rates—the difference between the rates charged by lenders and the inflation rates—will be low when national savings exceed business investment (creating a savings surplus), and high when national savings fall below the level of business investment (creating a savings deficit ).  However, during the 1960’s real interest rates were often higher when the national  avings surplus was large.  Counter-intuitive behavior also occurred when real interest rates skyrocketed from 2 percent in 1980 to 7 percent in 1982,  even though national savings and investments were roughly equal throughout the period.  Clearly, real interest rates respond to influences other than the savings/investment nexus.  Indeed, real interest rates may themselves influence swings in the savings and investment rates.  As real interest rates shot up after 1979, foreign investors poured capital into the United States, the price of domestic goods increased prohibitively abroad, and the price of foreign-made goods became lower in the United States.  As a result, domestic economic activity and the ability of businesses to save and invest were restrained.

是不是这一篇啊

因为没有做过GWD所以不知道是不是曾经出现过，但可以肯定不是这篇

还有四十几刀的TAX，，，我就不明白，为什么考试费也要交税～～！

btw,一起加油～！

考试费还浇水？

恩 加油

楼主请回忆下是这篇文章吗？讲蛇的～～

Essay #8.  147      (22358-!-item-!-188;#058&00147-00)

In terrestrial environments, gravity places special demands on the cardiovascular systems of animals.  Gravitational pressure can cause blood to pool in the lower regions of the body, making it difficult to circulate blood to critical organs such as the brain.  Terrestrial snakes, in particular, exhibit adaptations that aid in circulating blood against the force of gravity.

The problem confronting terrestrial snakes is best illustrated by what happens to sea snakes when removed from their supportive medium.  Because the vertical pressure gradients within the blood vessels are counteracted by similar pressure gradients in the surrounding water, the distribution of blood throughout the body of sea snakes remains about the same regardless of their orientation in space, provided they remain in the ocean. When removed from the water and tilted at various angles with the head up, however, blood pressure at their midpoint drops significantly, and at brain level falls to zero.  That many terrestrial snakes in similar spatial orientations do not experience this kind of circulatory failure suggests that certain adaptations enable them to regulate blood pressure more effectively in those orientations.

One such adaptation is the closer proximity of the terrestrial snake's heart to its head, which helps to ensure circulation to the brain, regardless of the snake's orientation in space.  The heart of sea snakes can be located near the middle of the body, a position that minimizes the work entailed in circulating blood to both extremities.  In arboreal snakes, however, which dwell in trees and often assume a vertical posture, the average distance from the heart to the head can be as little as 15 percent of overall body length.  Such a location requires that blood circulated to the tail of the snake travel a greater distance back to the heart, a problem solved by another adaptation.  When climbing, arboreal snakes often pause momentarily to wiggle their bodies, causing waves of muscle contraction that advance from the lower torso to head.  By compressing the veins and forcing blood forward, these contractions apparently improve the flow of venous blood returning to the heart.
