11. GWD28-Q11:

Trancorp currently transports all its goods to Burland Island by truck.  The only bridge over the channel separating Burland from the mainland is congested, and trucks typically spend hours in traffic.  Trains can reach the channel more quickly than trucks, and freight cars can be transported to Burland by barges that typically cross the channel in an hour.  Therefore, to reduce shipping time, Trancorp plans to switch to trains and barges to transport goods to Burland.

Which of the following would be most important to know in determining whether Trancorp’s plan, if implemented, is likely to achieve its goal?

A   Whether transportation by train and barge would be substantially less expensive than transportation by truck.

B.       Whether there are boats that can make the trip between the mainland and Burland faster than barges can

C.      Whether loading the freight cars onto barges is very time consuming

D.      Whether the average number of vehicles traveling over the bridge into Burland has been relatively constant in recent years

E.       Whether most trucks transporting goods into Burland return to the mainland empty

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

Concerned about financial well-being of its elderly citizens, the government of Runagia decided two years ago to increase by 20 percent the government-provided pension paid to all Runagians over 65. Inflation in the intervening period has been negligible, and the increase has been duly received by all eligible Runagians. Nevertheless, many of them are no better off financially than they were before the increase, in large part because ______.

A: They rely entirely on the government pension for their income

B: Runagian banks are so inefficient that it can take up to three weeks to cash a pension check

C: They buy goods whose prices tend to rise especially fast in times of inflation

D: The pension was increased when the number of elderly Runagians below the poverty level reached an all-time high

E: In Runagia children typically supplement the income of elderly parents, but only by enough to provide them with a comfortable living

A manufacturer of workstations for computer-aided design seeks to increase sales to its most important corporate customers. Its strategy is to publish very low list prices for workstations in order to generate interest among the buyers for those corporations.

Which of the following, if characteristic of the marketplace, would tend to cause the manufacture’s strategy to fail?

A. The proposed list prices would seem low to a typical buyer for the manufacturer’s most important corporate customers.

B. The capabilities of workstations suitable for given jobs are not significantly different among various manufactures.

C. The manufacturer’s most important corporate customers employ as buyers persons who are very knowledgeable about prices for workstations for customer-aided design.

D. customers differ significantly in the percentage of resources they can devote to computer workstations. (E)

E. Buyers for corporations that purchase workstations for computer-aided design receive bonuses for negotiating large discounts from the list price.

Museums that house Renaissance oil paintings typically store them in environments that are carefully kept within narrow margins of temperature and humidity to inhibit any deterioration. Laboratory tests have shown that the kind of oil paint used in these paintings actually adjusts to climatic changes quite well. If, as some museum directors believe, paint is the most sensitive substance in these works, then by relaxing the standards for temperature and humidity control, museums can reduce energy costs without risking damage to these paintings.
            Museums would be rash to relax those standards, however, since results of preliminary tests indicate that gesso, a compound routinely used by Renaissance artists to help paint adhere to the canvas, is unable to withstand significant variations in humidity.

In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

A.     The first is an objection that has been raised against the position taken by the argument; the second is the position taken by the argument.

B.     The first is the position taken by the argument; the second is the position that the

argument calls into question.

C.    The first is a judgment that has been offered in support of the position that the argument calls into question; the second is a circumstance on which that judgment is, in part based.

D.    The first is a judgment that has been offered in support of the position that the argument calls into question; the second is that position.
            

E.     The first is a claim that the argument calls into question; the second is the positiontaken by the argument.

28-32: A prominent investor who holds a large stake in the Burton Tool Company has recently claimed that the company is mismanaged, citing as evidence the company’s failure to slow production in response to a recent rise in its inventory of finished products. It is doubtful whether an investor’s sniping at management can ever be anything other than counterproductive, but in this case it is clearly not justified. It is true that an increased inventory of finished products often indicates that production is outstripping demand, but in Burton’s case it indicates no such thing. Rather, the increase in inventory is entirely attributable to products that have already been assigned to orders received from customers.

In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

A: The first states the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second provides evidence to undermine the support for the position being opposed.

B: The first states the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second is evidence that has been used to support the position being opposed.

C: The first states the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second states the conclusion of the argument as a whole.

D: The first is evidence that has been used to support a position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second provides information to undermine the force of that evidence.

E: The first is evidence that has been used to support a position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second states the conclusion of the argument as a whole.

Which of the following, if true, provides evidence that most logically completes the argument below?

According to a widely held economic hypothesis, imposing strict environmental regulations reduces economic growth.  This hypothesis is undermined by the fact that the states with the strictest environmental regulations also have the highest economic growth.  This fact does not show that environmental regulations promote growth, however, since ______.

A.    those states with the strictest environmental regulations invest the most in education and job training   

B.    even those states that have only moderately strict environmental regulations have higher growth than those with the least-strict regulations 反。
            

C.    many states that are experiencing reduced economic growth are considering weakening their environmental regulations 

D.   after introducing stricter environmental regulations, many states experienced increased economic growth
                

E.    even those states with very weak environmental regulations have experienced at least some growth   

这题没有这么复杂, 关键要对结论看清. 结论是: 该事实(环保最严的州的经济发展最快)不能看出环保促进经济. 重复一遍, 结论是该事实不能看出, 并不是环保能不能促进经济. 是看不看出的问题, 所以答案说环保能促进经济的, 或环保不能促进经济的都错. BCDE一下全排除.

A说环保最严的州的也是在教育和培训投资最多. 即, 不能把环保单独出来看. 即, 该事实不能看出环保促进经济, 也就是结论.

Q35:

In Patton City, days are categorized as having heavy rainfall (more than two inches), moderate rainfall (more than one inch, but no more than two inches), light rainfall (at least a trace, but no more than one inch), or no rainfall. In 1990, there were fewer days with light rainfall than in 1910 and fewer with moderate rainfall, yet total rainfall for the year was 20 percent higher in 1990 than in 1910.

If the statements above are true, then it is also possible that in Patton City

A.     the number of days with heavy rainfall was lower in 1990 than in 1910
            

B.     the number of days with some rainfall, but no more than two inches, was the same in 1990 as in 1910
            

C.     the number of days with some rainfall, but no more than two inches, was higher in 1990 than in 1910
            

D.    the total number of inches of rain that fell on days with moderate rainfall in 1990 was more than twice what it had been in 1910
            

E.     the average amount of rainfall per month was lower in 1990 than in 1910

答案是：A。A是对的, 有一点要清楚就是"降水量和天数没啥关系",A说"1990年的下HR的天数比1910年少,但是下的雨量有可能大,因位文章只是说大于2INCH的就算HR,比如有可能是1910年下了2天的HR每天是2INCH,一共是4INCH;而1990年只下了1天的HR,但是下的雨量是5INCH, 所以1990年的大雨天数少但雨量大于1910年的".
