Editorial:In Ledland, unemployed adults receive government assistance. To reduce unemployment, the government proposes to supplement the income of those who accept jobs that pay less than government assistance, thus enabling employers to hire workers cheaply. However, the supplement will not raise any worker's income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed. Therefore, unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement.

Which of the following, if true about Ledland, most seriously weakens the argument of the editorial?

正确答案: C

Sherry GMAT长征系列(四):就算被认为不知天高地厚也照样要勇敢!
TTmath 30和GWD TN24

开始了每天GWD的生活……该做GWD TN24



math提前40min,verbal提前1min。

我最近一直在想我是不是overjoyed了,真的可以吗?今天是严格掐表算时间,结果比较惨不忍睹的说……唉……

35min math ALL CORRECT

74min verbal -16    SC8 CR4 RC4(1/4+1/4+2/3)

悲剧的前10题耗时20min还错了6个!

感觉:

1.时间!时间!严重不够用,CR和RC来不及看完所有选项。无奈之下乱选的全错了。

2.SC仔细扫一遍怎么觉得以前错的那么无知呢?有时候太钻牛角了。

3.RC没有看懂的文章果然怎么选都错啊~有时候句子太长了一定要静心~静心~

4.有些题做的越久,错的越凶。需要一次准确与正确!

对策:

1.继续巩固各种知识。

2.平时要注意速度训练,分组记录时间。不要漫游漫游养成了坏习惯!

3.除了练习还能做什么呢?



   我想如果一周以后还没有提高的话,我应该怎么办?不过那只是没用的IF,推翻这个assumption就好了。网上各种大牛心经看得我汗颜啊……还有19天了,作文没有开始GWD错16个……我只能告诉自己要勇敢!不要逃避自己的现状。

   对答案的时候简直不想把成绩贴出来。但是我觉得这个都不能面对的话那算什么呢?简直又想马上再做一套证明自己的成功抑或失败。但是这又有什么意义呢?就像prep是prep,考试是考试一样……勇敢地面对失败,就像BJ也说:成功就是一系列的失败组成的。

 贴一下不是很明白的,好心人都帮忙解一下:

在此谢过~!!




Q10:TTGWD11-Q30:

Editorial: In Ledland, unemployed adults receive government assistance.  To reduce unemployment, the government proposes to supplement the income of those who accept jobs that pay less than government assistance, thus enabling employers to hire workers cheaply.  However, the supplement will not raise any worker’s income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed.  Therefore, unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement.

Which of the following, if true about Ledland, most seriously weakens the argument of the editorial?

A.    The government collects no taxes on assistance it provides to unemployed individuals and their families.

B.    Neighboring countries with laws that mandate the minimum wage an employer must pay an employee have higher unemployment rates than Ledland currently has.

C.    eople who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.

D.    The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level.

A.    eople sometimes accept jobs that pay relatively little simply because they enjoy the work.



Q11~Q14: TTGWD4-Q3 to Q6:

      Extensive research has shown that the effects of short-term price promotions on sales are themselves short-term.  Companies’ hopes that promotions might have a positive aftereffect have not been borne out for reasons that researchers have been able to identify.  A price promotion entices only a brand’s long-term or “loyal” customers; people seldom buy an unfamiliar brand merely because the price is reduced.  They simply avoid paying more than they have to when one of their customary brands is temporarily available at a reduced price.  A price promotion does not increase the number of long-term customers of a brand, as it attracts virtually no new customers in the first place. Nor do price promotions have lingering aftereffects for a brand, even negative ones such as damage to a brand’s reputation or erosion of customer loyalty, as is often feared.

      So why do companies spend so much on price promotions?  Clearly price promotions are generally run at a loss, otherwise there would be more of them.  And the bigger the increase in sales at promotion prices, the bigger the loss.  While short-term price promotions can have legitimate uses, such as reducing excess inventory, it is the recognizable increase in sales that is their main attraction to management, which is therefore reluctant to abandon this strategy despite its effect on the bottom line.



Q13:   The passage suggests that evidence for price promotions’ “effect on the bottom line” (line 40) is provided by

A.    the lack of lingering aftereffects from price promotions

B.    the frequency with which price promotions occur

C.    price promotions’ inability to attract new customers

D.    price promotions’ recognizable effect on sales

E.     the legitimate uses to which management can put price promotions



Q28: PP77.  

Like any star of similar mass would do, once the Sun has exhausted the hydrogen in its store, it expands into a red giant, eventually ejecting its outer envelope of gases to become a white dwarf.



A.    Like any star of similar mass would do, once the Sun has exhausted the hydrogen in its store, it expands into a red giant, eventually ejecting

B.    Like any star of similar mass, once the hydrogen in the Sun’s core is exhausted, then it expands into a red giant and eventually ejects

C.    As in the case of any star of similar mass, once the hydrogen in the Sun’s core is exhausted, it will expand into a red giant, and eventually ejecting

D.    As any star of similar mass would, once the hydrogen in the Sun’s core is exhausted it will expand into a red giant and will eventually eject

E.     As would be the case with any star of similar mass, once the Sun exhausts the hydrogen in its core, it will expand into a red giant and eventually eject



Q29: PP78.

As it is with traditional pharmacies, online drugstores rely on prescriptions to be successful, since it is primarily prescriptions that attract the customers, who then also buy other health-related items.



A.    As it is with traditional pharmacies, online drugstores rely on prescriptions to be successful

B.    As with the case of traditional pharmacies, online drugstores rely on prescriptions to have success

C.    As is the case with traditional pharmacies, prescriptions are the cornerstone of a successful online drugstore

D.    As traditional pharmacies, so online drugstores rely on prescriptions to be successful

E.     Like traditional pharmacies, the cornerstone of a successful online drugstore is prescriptions

第二题,就是第二段第一句啊
So why do companies spend so much on price promotions?  Clearly price promotions are generally run at a loss, otherwise there would be more of them.  


“effect on the bottom line” 指的就是“ price promotions are generally run at a loss”吧。

大概是这样。。

Q10:TTGWD11-Q30:

这个选c,就是说,因为有工作的人比较可能跳槽找到工资更高的工作,所以就算政府补助和某些工作工资一样多,但是人们还是会愿意去干这些低工资工作的,以方便以后找更好的,大概这意思
