超好运气+超级发挥：一战750

sxfwj

昨天一战，做题状态特别好，再加上前几日借助cd的数学以及阅读寂静，数学中5道左右，verbal中了两篇阅读。最后数学51，verbal40，总分750！其中数学的帮助特别大，至少有两道题如果没有机经，完全没可能现场做出来，再次感谢机经整理者们的辛苦劳动！！！！
现在开始吐血回忆考试题目：


数学部分：
1.最后一道题，问140个糖果，分给m个人，每个人至少2块，问m的可能值有多少？
解：140=2*2*5*7  所以共有2，5，7这3中，加上C42（从这4个因数中任取两个组合），在加上C33（2，5，7组合），共10个！ 切记不是11个，因为2，2，5，7的组合不满足每人至少2个的条件！


2. DS：一个圆，一条弦，求弦长，条件一是知道半径，条件2是知道圆心到弦距离，比较简单。


3. 有一道机经原题，DS，问一个国家的人均gdp等于总gdp除以总人口，问人均gdp是否落在500的正负5范围内
条件一是总gdp的范围，近似到1000，000是50，000，000，条件2是总人口的范围，也是一个四舍五入的数值，
做法是取极端值，即总gdp取最大值，除以总人口取最小值，得到人均gdp的最大值，我记得大概是509，比505大，所以不一定推出结论，选e


4. 8的20次幂，问个位数字？
因为8的幂个位数 遵从8，4，2，6的规律，20除以4，能除尽，所以各位是6


5.回忆中，特别佩服能记住好多题目的牛人们，我的记性好差...

中了两篇，分别是high-cost,low-cost的公司贷款，以及夏威夷岛上的temple，可参见之前详细的机经，尤其事夏威夷篇，生词太多，大概意思是之前人们有个论证，后来科学家又发现新的证据，进一步解释了当地的oral history好像，算了，实在是失忆了。
还有一个讲pollution的，第一段说过去有一个关于治理污染公司们有一个错误的认识，现在他们应该认识到“opportunity cost”（有考点，问所指）,然后第二段整段讲了一个另外的例子，关于过去产品质量的提升，有问题问此段的作用，我选了有analogy的那个选项。第三段又回头说治理污染方面的事，似乎没有考点，没仔细看。
另外一个讲王朝的覆灭的，第一段说是因为有一个drought导致的，第二段又说drought并不是最重要的原因，因为之前也有drought，最要命的原因是political方面的，最后一句话很关键，他的一个殖民地从他脱离出去了，有题目问这一句话的最用，我选了来支持此王朝政治方面控制力不足证据。


暂时就能想起来这么多，请大家轻拍，也为下个月的雅思积攒人品！

请确认作文：
The following appeared as part of a recommendation from the business manager of a department store.
“Local clothing stores reported that their profits decreased, on average, for the three-month period between August 1 and October 31. Stores that sell products for the home reported that, on average, their profits increased during this same period. Clearly, consumers are choosing to buy products for their homes instead of clothing. To take advantage of this trend, we should reduce the size of our clothing departments and enlarge our home furnishings and household products departments.”

有个local store，它的clothing department的profit，在过去的三个月里decrease, while at the same time, the profits in the home product department increased. 他们认为是由于过去的三个月里，人们多买了家居用品，导致了clothing 的profit下降。所以他们决定要reduce clothing department的什么来着（忘了），同时refurnish home product department。大概就是这样

污染那篇有童鞋提供了一个类似原文，麻烦看看像么？？

(考古）污染认识的转变
The concept of resource productivity opens up a new way of looking at both the full systems costs and the value associated with any product. Resource inefficiencies are most obvious within a company in the form of incomplete material utilization and poor process controls, which result in unnecessary waste, defects, and stored materials. But there also are many other hidden costs buried in the life cycle of the product. Packaging discarded by distributors or customers, for example, wastes resources and adds costs. Customers bear additional costs when they use products that pollute or waste energy. Resources are lost when products that contain usable materials are discarded and when customers pay --directly or indirectly -- for product disposal.

Environmental improvement efforts have traditionally overlooked these systems costs. Instead, they have focused on pollution control through better identification, processing, and disposal of discharges or waste -- costly approaches. In recent years, more advanced companies and regulators have embraced the concept of pollution prevention, sometimes called source reduction, which uses such methods as material substitution and closed-loop processes to limit pollution before it occurs.

But, although pollution prevention is an important step in the right direction, ultimately companies must learn to frame environmental improvement in terms of resource productivity. [1] Today managers and regulators focus on the actual costs of eliminating or treating pollution. They must shift their attention to include the opportunity costs of pollution --wasted resources, wasted effort, and diminished product value to the customer. At the level of resource productivity, environmental improvement and competitiveness come together.

This new view of pollution as resource inefficiency evokes the quality revolution of the 1980s and its most powerful lessons. Today we have little trouble grasping the idea that innovation can improve quality while actually lowering cost.

But as recently as fifteen years ago, managers believed there was a fixed trade-off. Improving quality was expensive because it could be achieved only through inspection and rework of the inevitable" defects that came off the line. What lay behind the old view was the assumption that both product design and production processes were fixed. As managers have rethought the quality issue, however, they have abandoned that old mind-set. Viewing defects as a sign of inefficient product and process design -- not as an inevitable byproduct of manufacturing -- was a breakthrough. Companies now strive to build quality into the entire process. The new mind-set unleashed the power of innovation to relax or eliminate what companies had previously accepted as fixed trade-offs.

第二段用defect做类比  Like defects, pollution often reveals flaws in the product design or production process. Efforts to eliminate pollution can therefore follow the same basic principles widely used in quality programs: Use inputs more efficiently, eliminate the need for hazardous, hard-to-handle materials, and eliminate unneeded activities. In a recent study of major process changes at ten manufacturers of printed circuit boards, for example, pollution-control personnel initiated thirteen of thirty-three major changes. Of the thirteen changes, twelve resulted in cost reduction, eight in quality improvements, and five in extension of production capabilities. [2] It is not surprising that total quality management (TQM) has become a source of ideas for pollution reduction that can create offsetting benefits. The Dow Chemical Company, for example, explicitly identified the link between quality improvement and environmental performance by using statistical-process control to reduce the variance in processes and to lower waste.

很类似，除了第一段。红色字部分必须是！而且是考点！
