According to the Tristate Transportation Authority, making certain improvements to the main commuter rail line would increase ridership dramatically. The authority plans to finance these improvements over the course of five years by raising automobile tolls on the two highway bridges along the route the rail line serves. Although the proposed improvements are indeed needed, the authority's plan for securing the necessary funds should be rejected because it would unfairly force drivers to absorb the entire cost of something from which they receive no benefit.

Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the effectiveness of the authority's plan to finance the proposed improvements by increasing bridge tolls?

正确答案: D

“The Easy Credit Company would gain an advantage over competing credit card services if we were to donate a portion of the proceeds from the use of our  cards to a well-known environmental organization in exchange for the use of its symbol or logo on our card. Since a recent poll shows that a large percentage  of the public is concerned about environmental issues, this policy would attract new customers, increase use among existing customers, and enable us to  charge interest rates that are higher than the lowest ones available.”

Location has been traditionally the most important determinter of bussiness' seccuss. 然后说位置这个东西的重要性以后也不会改变,即使网络通讯再发达,科技再进步.

刚才有同学来贴原题了~~

第一篇没太看懂...因为发现换裤...心情过于激动.....
大概是说stakeholder的一种措施,先说是好,说了个什么。然后马上说不好,中间说了些什么不记得了,后面说maneger为了维持股票涨,就故意用些措施,这些措施回到时裁员(layoff)【有题】

第二篇
第一段:说的是火山爆发中熔岩(lava)是来自地幔的(mantle),说是由地下升起来的,在此过程中成分变化,一种物质O1(O打头)增加,另一个O2(也是O打头)减少。
第二段:海底火山样本大概都证明了,但是奇怪的是45KM时成分就不变了,这是怎么回事呢?若是不变它如何上来的呢?第一种解释说是沿着裂缝上来的(crack),然后说不可能啊,因为45KM还很深东西都很软,没有裂缝。第二种解释又说,到45KM时O2就用完了.....
题目实在记不起来....记得都挺好找的.....

第三篇
family commiment和工作的关系
第一段:说是,family commiment包括什么夫妻关系,亲子关系。然后发现有强烈的家庭观念的人工作都挺好。这是为什么呢?有人说是家庭观念强的,这个素质高,说了一堆....好长...大概就是关系家庭,所以容易关注其他人的想法。又有责任感...然后最后一句是个反驳这个观点的
第二段:说另一种解释,家庭观念强所以认真工作赚钱才好养家啊!

题目:主旨题
         第二段用处

问加强
我选的是 人们不会改桥走


那啥,有同学想听数学...让我想想

总体感觉数学很BT,有一道DS题,完全不知道它在说啥....还是英语的问题啊....

DS题:说一条直线过(n,-1)点,问斜率是否大于0?
1)过原点
2)过(2n,1)点
我选B
刚才有同学指出,这题我错了....该选E,因为N分正负
又被批评了,呵呵...可能是C,因为考虑两个条件的话,是Y轴....

PS题:有图,一个圆,圆心上下两条平行线说都是2倍根号2,两条线的距离也是这么长。问阴影部分面积(两条平行线中间的部分)?
先算出圆半径是2,面积是4π;
再算两条平行线中间去掉弧是个正方形,面积是8
然后用圆减去正方形除2就是弧面积 2π-4
再加上8,最后答案是2π+4

DS题:有图,一个有方框的画(就是两个长方形套起来),说是加的框是等长的,加了框的底长是6,问无框画的面积。
1)框面积是24
2)加框的高时8
选C
(我还特无聊的把框长算出来了....)

PS题:说是一个比例,给了个定义就是包裹的体积除以装包裹的箱子的体积。然后说是16个球体直径是1,放在4长4宽1高的箱子里,这个比例是S。16个圆锥直径1高1放在同样的箱子了,这个比例是C。问那个比那个大百分之多少?
答案:C比S大50%
刚才有同学指出这题的问题,由于这题是我最后一道题,又只有1分钟....所以答案大家还是自己算吧,那个第二个物质可能不是圆锥,它有给公式,不用管事什么,按着算就行。


又想起了几个
PS: 说是N+N+6+N=N-3+N, 问N?
-9
由于前面题太难....导致我看到这道题怀疑是不是有什么trick....

PS: X=-1, 问(-X²)-³  —(2/3)-¹
-5/2
(刚才同学指出错误,我写成-2次方了,实际上衣-1次方)

PS:说X正的,问一个乱起八糟的东西(就是全是X几次几次幂的那种....)是多少?
X

DS: X的N次方=1,问有几个解?
1)N is odd
2)N是3的倍数
我选的A

PS: 说x和y都在数轴上,x是0.5,y是2.5(给的都是分数,不好打,我私自换成小数了)。说XZ是ZY的五倍,问Z可能的坐标?
3
我先把中间的那个算出来了...发现GMAC果然比较仁慈....



现在越想数学觉得越变态...我用了3张它给的纸,正反面的!!



我强大的大脑啊,又想起来一题了!!

PS: 一个数除6余2,除8余4,问除48,可能余几?
话说...真的不知道正常算法怎么算...我举了个例子68
然后答案就出来了20

还有一DS题,记不清楚了,是X和N的,问是不是3的倍数
1)x=3
2) N=5
好像我选的是A,记不太清楚了....
记得挺tricky得

那啥,本人真不是牛人....第一,710,实在没脸说牛....第二,我半年前考过一次660,虽然也是看了二十多天OG做了5套GWD就考的。
而且,平时上课虽然没看过GMAT,但用了一个月时间考T,提高了提高阅读水平(虽然还是比较次....)

LZ 南桥北桥的逻辑 有同学说和这题很类似,麻烦确认一下~

OG11-114

According to the Tristate Transportation Authority, making certain improvements to the main commuter rail line would increase ridership dramatically. The authority plans to finance these improvements over the course of five years by raising automobile tolls on the two high-way bridges along the route the rail line serves. Although the proposed improvements are indeed needed, the authority’s plan for securing the necessary funds should be rejected because it would unfairly force drivers to absorb the entire cost of something from which they receive no benefit.

Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the effectiveness of the authority’s plan to finance the proposed improvements by increasing bridge tolls?

(A) Before the authority increases tolls on any of the area bridges, it is required by law to hold public hearings at which objections to the proposed increase can be raised.

(B) Whenever bridge tolls are increased, the authority must pay a private contractor to adjust the automated toll-collecting machines.

(C) Between the time a proposed toll increase is announced and the time the increase is actually put into effect, many commuters buy more tokens than usual to postpone the effects of the increase.

(D) When tolls were last increased on the two bridges in question, almost 20 percent of the regular commuter traffic switched to a slightly longer alternative route that has since been improved.(D)

(E) The chairman of the authority is a member of the Tristate Automobile Club that has registered strong opposition to the proposed toll increase.

文言文 nowwsy
V1 alexl39(750 V40)
讲什么family roles?就是说那些很关心家庭的人往往工作满意度和成就感比较高。先给出了这么一个finding,然后one explanation:他们关心家庭,更加不self-focused,更加responsible,更加mature,然后工作更好。有一个对于这个 explanation的objection,说这些人只是被上司认为更mature,更responsible,从而工作上比较成功。
第二段another explanation:这些人由于关心家庭,所以非常重视是他们收入来源的工作,所以认真工作,工作比较突出。
有一个主旨题,这个文章的观点比较客观,没有标明作者自己的观点,有两个选项:try to account for 某个finding;verify various explanations for 某个finding,我选的后者。然后问第二段的功能,我选的提出一个explanation,这个explanation不会被第一段中的那个 objection所削弱
V2 tsaiming(V32)
第一 段:说明很关心家庭 的人往往工作满意度和成就感比较高。先给出了这么一个finding,然后one explanation:他们关心家庭,更加不self-focused,更加responsible,更加mature,然后工作更好。有一个对于这个 explanation的objection,说这些人只是被上司认为更mature,更responsible,从而工作上比较成功。
第二段another explanation:这些人由于关心家庭,所以非常重视是他们收入来源的工作,所以认真工作,工作比较突出。
有一个主旨题,这个文章的观点比较客观,没有标明作者自己的观点,有两个选项:try to account for 某个finding;verify various explanations for 某个finding。
有一个细节题, 说明哪种人在management的表现上会更好
选项有 job and work satisfaction; Self-focused and matured; XXX and responsible; YYY; ZZZ and financial resource
V3 odinxiv(720)
细节题, 说明哪种人在management的表现上会更好 选: Responsibility and financial resource
V4 upas(740)
哪种人在management的表现上会更好?我选的是empathy和sense of responsibility. 原文中有提到financial resource.看看狗,有了financial resource正好weaken了第二段的概念。
V5 fiaoyaya(760 V41)
家庭的角色对于工作的影响,这篇文章我比较赶,做得比较粗
第一段对家庭角色下了定义,说一个人在家庭里承担的角色主要有2种,一种是 spousal(大意就是出于非主导地位),还有一种是相对主导的地位,具体用词我忘记了吗好像是patriarchal。然后说研究表明,在家里角色是 patriarchal的人工作满意度和工作表现也更好,然后给了一个解释,说他们更关心家庭,更不self-focused而且更other- oriented,同事更负责任和成熟。然后在这一段的结尾说有人反对这个解释,说这些人被上司认为更成熟和负责,因此工作更容易出成绩。
第二段 说another explanation是说这些人更关心家庭,想为家里的孩子提供更好的生活,因此非常重视工作,因为工作是收入的来源,所以他们能把工作做得更好。
题目主要有:1)第二段的作用是什么,我选的是说提出另外一个解释,这个解释是第一段后面部分有反对意见的人反对不了的。2)本文的主旨是什么?我选的好像 是对为什么家庭角色是patriarchal的人工作表现更好提出解释;3)management functioning(这个是作者在讨论工作表现时用的一个词,大概的意思就是工作表现好的人)的人更会怎样?我选的是empathy和 responsible,主要根据others-oriented和responsible推出来,其他的选项好像都不大对。做这篇文章比较赶,题目都是看到对的就选了,其他选项没有看得很细。
