tania的状态真的不错！我是20号考 由于要上班每天只有很少的时间复习！

在这段短时间内提高还有没有可能呢?PPreview上的题目没有答案解释而PP3上的题目有解释确不全请问到哪里可以下到全部题目和全部解释同时有的？不好意思了复习时间太短了有点乱了阵脚！ 还有GWD题目是关于什么的还都没做过呢！机经你开始看了吗？8月的机经都要看吗？

我今天开始做GWD06,也就是XY04,比tania慢多了

最近也是阅读不行,老是错5个 所以还是先来阅读的题目吧.

呵呵,积累的问题太多,先贴GWD1的好了.

Over the last 150 years, large

       stretches of salmon habitat have

       been eliminated by human activity:

Line       mining, livestock grazing, timber

  (5)      harvesting, and agriculture as well

as recreational and urban devel-

opment.  The numerical effect is

obvious:  there are fewer salmon

in degraded regions than in pris-

(10)      tine ones; however, habitat loss

also has the potential to reduce

genetic diversity.  This is most

evident in cases where it results

in the extinction of entire salmon

(15)      populations.  Indeed, most

analysts believe that some kind

of environmental degradation

underlies the demise of many

extinct salmon populations.

(20)      Although some rivers have

       been recolonized, the unique

       genes of the original populations

have been lost.

      Large-scale disturbances in

(25)      one locale also have the potential

to alter the genetic structure of

populations in neighboring areas,

even if those areas have pristine

habitats.  Why?  Although the

(30)      homing instinct of salmon to their

natal stream is strong, a fraction

of the fish returning from the sea

       (rarely more than 15 percent)

stray and spawn in nearby

(35)    streams.  Low levels of straying

are crucial, since the process

provides a source of novel

genes and a mechanism

      by which a location can be

(40)     repopulated should the fish

there disappear.  Yet high rates

of straying can be problematic

because misdirected fish may

interbreed with the existing stock

(45)      to such a degree that any local

adaptations that are present

become diluted.  Straying

rates remain relatively low when

environmental conditions are

(50)      stable, but can increase dramati-

cally when streams suffer severe

disturbance.  The 1980 volcanic

eruption of Mount Saint Helens,

for example, sent mud and debris

(55)      into several tributaries of the

Columbia River.  For the next

couple of years, steelhead trout

(a species included among the

salmonids) returning from the

(60)      sea to spawn were forced to

find alternative streams.  As

a consequence, their rates of

straying, initially 16 percent,

rose to more than 40 percent

(65)      overall.

      Although no one has quantified

changes in the rate of straying

as a result of the disturbances

caused by humans, there is no

(70)      reason to suspect that the effect

would be qualitatively different

than what was seen in the

aftermath of the Mount Saint

Helens eruption.  Such a dra-

(75)      matic increase in straying from

damaged areas to more pristine

streams results in substantial

gene flow, which can in turn lower

the overall fitness of subsequent

generations.

Q12:

The author mentions the “aftermath of the Mount Saint Helens eruption” (lines 73-74) most likely in order to

A.     provide an example of the process that allows the repopulation of rivers whose indigenous salmon population has become extinct

B.     indicate the extent to which the disturbance of salmon habitat by human activity in one stream might affect the genetic structure of salmon populations elsewhere

C.     provide a standard of comparison against which the impact of human activity on the gene flow among salmon populations should be measured

D.     show how salmons’ homing instinct can be impaired as a result of severe environmental degradation of their natal streams

E.      show why straying rates in salmon populations remain generally low except when spawning streams suffer severe environmental disturbance

答案是C,为什么B不对呢?好像这题也颇有争议.

In corporate purchasing,

       competitive scrutiny is typically

       limited to suppliers of items that are

Line      directly related to end products.

  (5)     With “indirect” purchases (such as

computers, advertising, and legal

services), which are not directly

related to production, corporations

often favor “supplier partnerships”

(10)     (arrangements in which the

purchaser forgoes the right to

pursue alternative suppliers), which

can inappropriately shelter suppliers

from rigorous competitive scrutiny

(15)     that might afford the purchaser

economic leverage.  There are two

independent variables—availability

of alternatives and ease of changing

suppliers—that companies should

(20)     use to evaluate the feasibility of

       subjecting suppliers of indirect

       purchases to competitive scrutiny.

This can create four possible

situations.

(25)           In Type 1 situations, there are

many alternatives and change is

relatively easy.  Open pursuit of

alternatives—by frequent com-

petitive bidding, if possible—will

(30)     likely yield the best results.  In

Type 2 situations, where there

are many alternatives but change

       is difficult—as for providers of

employee health-care benefits—it

(35)   is important to continuously test

the market and use the results to

secure concessions from existing

suppliers.  Alternatives provide a

      credible threat to suppliers, even if

(40)    the ability to switch is constrained.

In Type 3 situations, there are few

alternatives, but the ability to switch

without difficulty creates a threat that

companies can use to negotiate

(45)     concessions from existing suppliers.

In Type 4 situations, where there

are few alternatives and change

is difficult, partnerships may be

unavoidable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q36:

Which of the following can be inferred about supplier partnerships, as they are described in the passage?

              

1. They cannot be sustained unless the goods or services provided are available from a large number of suppliers.



2. They can result in purchasers paying more for goods and services than they would in a competitive-bidding situation.



3. They typically are instituted at the urging of the supplier rather than the purchaser.



4. They are not feasible when the goods or services provided are directly related to the purchasers’ end products.



5. They are least appropriate when the purchasers’ ability to change suppliers is limited.

这道题前天看了讨论贴之后好像理解了,可是今天看了一下又不行了

D为啥错?

Q29:

Authoritative parents are more likely than permissive parents to have children who as adolescents are self-confident, high in self-esteem, and responsibly independent.

1. Authoritative parents are more likely than permissive parents to have children who as adolescents are self-confident, high in self-esteem, and responsibly independent.


2. Authoritative parents who are more likely than permissive parents to have adolescent children that are self-confident, high in self-esteem, and responsibly independent.


3. Children of authoritative parents, rather than permissive parents, are the more likely to be self-confident, have a high self-esteem, and to be responsibly independent as adolescents.


4. Children whose parents are authoritative rather than being permissive, are more likely to have self-confidence, a high self-esteem, and be responsibly independent when they are an adolescent.


5. Rather than permissive parents, the children of authoritative parents are the more likely to have self-confidence, a high self-esteem, and to be responsibly independent as an adolescent.

想问一下，C的错误除了后面的不对称，是不是rather than 在这儿的用法也不对啊？rather than 引导的名词短语是否只能与主句的主语进行比较呢？即C中rather than 的使用改变了句意，变成了Children与permissive parents之间进行比较了，所以C错，可以这样理解吗？

选A，是吗？？

阅读9－12那篇也有一个问题，网上至今也没定论：

    Behavior science courses should

       be gaining prominence in business

       school curricula.  Recent theoretical

Line       work convincingly shows why behav-

  (5)      ioral factors such as organizational

culture and employee relations are

among the few remaining sources of

sustainable competitive advantage in

modern organizations.  Furthermore,

(10)      empirical evidence demonstrates

clear linkages between human

resource (HR) practices based in

the behavioral sciences and various

aspects of a firm’s financial success.

(15)      Additionally, some of the world’s most

successful organizations have made

unique HR practices a core element

of their overall business strategies.

      Yet the behavior sciences

(20)      are struggling for credibility in many

business schools.  Surveys show

that business students often regard

behavioral studies as peripheral to

       the mainstream business curriculum.

(25)      This perception can be explained by

the fact that business students, hoping

to increase their attractiveness to

prospective employers, are highly

sensitive to business norms and

(30)      practices, and current business

practices have generally been

moving away from an emphasis on

       understanding human behavior and

toward more mechanistic organiza-

(35)      tional models.  Furthermore, the

       status of HR professionals within

organizations tends to be lower

than that of other executives.

      Students’ perceptions would

(40)      matter less if business schools

were not increasingly dependent on

external funding—form legislatures,

businesses, and private foundations—

for survival.  Concerned with their

(45)      institutions’ ability to attract funding,

administrators are increasingly tar-

geting low-enrollment courses and

degree programs for elimination.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q9:

The primary purpose of the passage is to

              

1. propose a particular change to business school curricula


2. characterize students’ perceptions of business school curricula


3. predict the consequences of a particular change in business school curricula


4. challenge one explanation for the failure to adopt a particular change in business school curricula


5. identify factors that have affected the prestige of a particular field in business school curricula

我觉得这题还是应该选E，虽然讨论时大家告诉我选A。理由是第一段说的是Behavior science courses应该gain prominence，列出的是影响Behavior science courses的正面因素，第二段说的是Behavior science courses再商学院里收到怀疑，是负面因素，第三段是一个让步，是说如果学校不是因为。。。。的话就不会受到这些负面因素的影响。

综上，我觉得e选项是正确的

又看了一遍，现在同意E，快晕了，从E改到A，现在又改到E@_@~~~~~~

要问一下，题目问作者写这篇文章的目的和作者主要写了什么内容，这两者应该不一样吧？？

msrs

根据我的理解应该是选A

作者的目的和内容不要样

比如：表扬某人就是用文章描述这个人如何如何，像雷锋。。。（没法党的教育，我只能想到这个好人），做了些什么事情。

内容：做了些什么事情。

目的：表扬某人像雷锋。

结论就应该很明显。上面的E、factors是学雷锋的内容，二A中的change才是这些内容表达的目的

我本来也是这么想的，但是现在又觉得文章讲的那些factors不能构成对prospose a change的支持
