[face=Georgia]9. Some people are Montagues and some people are Capulets. No Montague can be crossed in love All Capulets can be crossed in love .Therefore, Capulets are not Montague Anyone who is not a Montague is intemperate.

Assume that all of the statements in the passage are true, If it is also true that no Montague is intemperate, then which one of the following must be true?

(A) The only people who can be crossed in live are intemperate Capulets.

(B) Anyone who is not a Copulet is a Montagues

(C) All intemperate people can be crossed in love.

(D) All intemperate people are Capulets

(E) All Capulets are intemperate.

这种题目我看到就晕，能否再讲讲！！！答案是e Capulets are not Montague Anyone who is not a Montague is intemperate.这个句子是打印错误吗?

11. It is even more important that we criticize democracies that have committed human rights violations than that we criticize dictatorships that have committed move violent human rights offenses. Human rights violations are always inexcusable, but those committed by governments that represent the will of the people are even more reprehensible than those committed by dictators. Further our criticism is more likely to have an effect on the former than on the later.

Which one of the following is a proper inference from the passage?

(A) All government commit same inexcusable and reprehensible acts.

(B) Some human rights violations are more reprehensible than other, more violent human rights violations.

(C)Criticism of human rights violations is certain to have no effect on a dictatorship.

(D)Human rights violations are more likely to occur in democracies than in dictatorship

(E)Those who do represent the will of the people are less likely to be moved by criticism than are those who merely claim to represent the will of the people.

这个题目作对了,但是思路不是特别清楚.请讲讲思路.？
E选项的意思有些烦人,可以解释一下吗？
顺便帮我解释一下commit的意思.这个词我总是理解的比较模糊,(1) committed human rights violations ;(2) committed by governments
能分别讲一下吗?

12. A recent study found that snoring, though not common in either group, is more common among smokers than among nonsmokers. On the basis of this evidence, the author hypothesized that smoking by itself can induce snoring.

Which one of the following, if true casts the most doubt on the author's hypothesis?

(A) Stress induces both snoring and smoking in certain individuals.

(B) Obesity induces many individuals to smoke

(C) Most snorers do not smoke

(D) Most smokers do not snore.

(E) Both smoking and snoring cause throat problems.

这个题目的思路和现在GMAT的出题思路好象明显不同,有多个答案在削弱.
答案是A,为什么D不是casts the most doubt on the author's hypothesis?A到底好在什么地方?

The press reports on political campaigns these days as if they were chess games. One candidate's campaign advisor makes a move; the other candidate's advisor makes a countermove. The press then reports on the campaign advisors and not on the candidates. The losers in the chess game are the voters. They are deprived of the information they need to make informed decisions because the press is ignoring substantive policy issues and reporting only on the process of the campaign. It is clear that the campaign advisors should stay out of the limelight and let the press report on the most revealing positions on substantive issues the candidates have taken.

13. Which one of the following is an assumption upon which the argument in the passage depends?

(A) Chess is the most appropriate analogy to reporting on political campaign.

(B) The candidates in the election are taking positions on substantive policy issues.

(C) How the press reports politics determines the substantive issues in the campaign.

(D) The voters are not paying enough attention to the election to be able to make informed decisions.

(E) There is no difference between reporting on the political process and reporting on substantive issues.

这个题目答案是B!题目是作对了,但是思路好象有些混乱.原文的结论主要是什么呢?B答案是如何弥补原文的gap 的?这个gap存在于原文什么地方呢?[/face]

9.
原题的信息: 1. ALL Montague are not crossed in love 2. ALL Capulets are crossed in love
3. Anyone who is not a Montague is intermerate 4. Montague 和Capulets集合不重叠

A提到了crossed in love的信息,而且是crossed in love 的必要条件..原文1,2信息根本无提到.错.
(B) 表示二选一..原文没提到.
(C) All intemperate people = NOT Montague can be crossed in love. 原文没提到,可能还有第三类人.
(D) All intemperate people = NOT Montague are Capulets 错
(E) All Capulets are intemperate. 由 3,4可得

可以看到BCD的错误其实是一样的...都是ASSUME除了Montague和 Capulets外没有第三类人.

11 E其实是最后一句话的paraphrase..
Further our criticism is more likely to have an effect on the former than on the later.
A 错在SAME
b提到原文没有的比较 more violent...
C 原文没有说no effect,只是比另外一个EFFCT小
D 原文没提到的信息: LIKELY TO OCCUR

commit是触犯的意思..我的理解

13这题我当时做的时候也错..呵呵..
原文的结论是在两组人之间比较得来的...抽烟的人比不抽烟的容易喉咙痛...得出抽烟导致喉咙痛(如果不是的话,应该得喉咙痛的几率是相等的)
A是说因素C导致了A和B在一起....言下之意削弱了A导致B

D无法构成削弱...即使抽烟得喉咙痛的人比率为0.0001%, 但是只要不抽烟的人的比率更小...都可能推出结论..((如果不是的话,应该得喉咙痛的几率是相等的)
横向比较而不是纵向比较

这种比较方法在GMAT里我记得也见到过:
女大学生上大学的人占总妇女人数比率生高了,说明妇女解放了...错..因为她和男的比较比率下降了...大概是这样..记不清了..查查看

albert · 发表于 2003-6-3 04:43:00

我的理解:
A---> B ASSUMPTION 有几种可能..一种是补GAP...还有一种是ASSUME A条件存在是可能的..
本题就是ASSUME前提是可能的...

最后一句话: let the press report on the most revealing positions on substantive issues the candidates have taken.
的前提当然是candidates take substantive issues
就是B

谢谢lstzhang的提醒。。
11题看错了。
E中 those who merely claim to represent the will of the people. 原文信息没提到
B中。more violent原文是提到的： we criticize dictatorships that have committed move violent human rights offenses. (呵呵，这里我想是原文的打印错误，MORE打印成了MOVE)
严重更正！

albert和各位大牛，把11题原文的意思讲讲，谢谢

albert · 发表于 2003-6-4 00:32:00

我对11题原文的理解：
原文包含了以下信息：
1. 对那些触犯了人们权利的民主国家的批评比那些侵犯了人们权利的独裁国家的批评更重要（两种国家的批评重要比较）
2。侵犯人们权利的行为都是需要谴责的。。但是代表了人们利益的政府的侵犯行为比独裁者的行为更值得谴责（又是两种政府的行为的可谴责性比较）
3。而且，我们的批评对前者（民主国家）比对后者更有影响（还是批评对两种国家的影响比较）

根据2 排除A
C 中 CERTAIN NO 一定排除
D MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR无原文的比较信息
E than are those who claim to represent the will of the people. 错。。原文可没说到独裁者CLAIM TO REPRESENT。。。。

lstzhang, hope to help you...
