以下是引用stellaleigh在2006-5-23 22:44:00的发言：

我 五一期间开始模考后的作息：

6：30起床

7：30开始模考

中午：吃饭睡觉

下午：1：00-6：00分析模考所作的内容。

晚上7:00-11:00：总结

11：30随便怎样一定要睡下去。

MM 写的作息，最后一项我觉得有待商讨。

明白了这就是差距, 以前我是夜猫, 白天上午都在睡觉, 晚上到2..3点, ...后来觉得这种方法不好, 现在晚上12点以后能睡着,...可是没有8:30还是起不来.... 看来我还是需要调整. 谢谢楼上两位!!

stellaleigh 的帖子, 从别处借来的....

Zeros老大说得对，GWD的作用GG没有搞明白。借用携隐NN的话说明一下GWD的作用：

GWD是用来模考的，模考是用来1培养pace和考试的感觉2检验自己真实水平3查漏补缺的，一般来说，做完13套GWD，考试的感觉基本就建立起来了，但是你时间不够的话，少做一两套，两三套，也没有关系，关键是你要培养起考试的感觉就可以了。

看GWD分类，一是巩固自己的知识点，二是通过大量强化复习再次树立对考试的感觉（毕竟GWD是比较新的比较贴近最近考试的题目），三就是有可能会在考试中碰到GWD的题目，无论如何先准备起来。所以最后的分类浏览最好留出足够的时间去完成。

NN 们的逻辑总结

FILL IN BLANK题型有什么特点呢？

感觉这种题型有点像SUPPORT题和MUST BE TRUE题的结合。答案必须支持结论，又必须严格符合原文给出的信息。

比如有个结论说：IF我是Howardwang，我GMAT就能考800分。有个选项说：我不是HOWARDWANG。这个选项削弱不了结论的。

另外，对于特殊题型，如果用特殊办法较易找到答案，就用特殊办法，如果用普通办法较易找到答案，就用普通办法，特殊办法只是提供另外一种途径。考试的目的是为了找到答案。

目前个人只得到这点体会，菜鸟级意见，恳请大家拍砖~！
1。和结论无关的就是无关。
2。和讨论的话题无关就是无关。
不知道大家有什么好办法呢？大家能不能讨论一下--无关这个概念对于assumption题目来说，一般怎样的信息就是无关呢？

你说的很好啊，这两点已经足够了；我觉得关键是要做题的时候体会；体会得多了就会有感觉了。

我是：先读问题，然后读原文，同时想逻辑关系（假设-〉结论），然后思考答案应该长什么样子，最后带着这个思考结果去看选项。我做OG的时候，这个方法挺管用的。但是，在做feifei的时候，就有些吃力。
我想问问，这样子的作题过程是否正确啊？用在考试中是否合适？还是老老实实的用排除法呢（就是不再想答案应该是什么）？

对。OG相对简单一点；但是FeiFei难一点。有些题是自己想不出来答案的。比如assumption，可以是排除他因，那他因也可能是好多种啊；再比如weaken，很多方面都可以weaken，怎么想象答案的样子呢。

103. The technological conservatism of bicycle manufacturers is a reflection of the kinds of demand they are trying to meet. The only cyclists seriously interested in innovation and willing to pay for it are bicycle racers. Therefore, innovation in bicycle technology is limited by what authorities will accept as standard for purpose of competition in bicycle races.
            

Which of the following is an assumption made in drawing the conclusion above?
            

(A) The market for cheap, traditional bicycles cannot expand unless the market for high-performance competition bicycles expands.
            

(B) High-performance bicycles are likely to be improved more as a result of technological innovations developed in small workshops than as a result of technological innovations developed in major manufacturing concerns.
            

(C) Bicycle racers do not generate a strong demand for innovations that fall outside what is officially recognized as standard for purposes of competition.
            

(D) The technological conservatism of bicycle manufacturers results primarily from their desire to manufacture a product that can be sold without being altered to suit different national markets. C
            

(E) The authorities who set standards for high-performance bicycle racing do not keep informed about innovative bicycle design.

问题2:

可不可以把条件型结论的Assumption解题方法在OG80上应用一下, 因为不是很理解"ASSUMPTION的方法排除充分条件出现，必要条件不出现的情况。或充分条件一定能推出必要条件，或排除充分条件推不出必要条件的可能
        "?

80.The program to control the entry of illegal drugs into the country was a failure in 1987. If the program had been successful, the wholesale price of most illegal drugs would not have dropped substantially in 1987.
            

The argument in the passage depends on which of the following assumptions?
            

(A) The supply of illegal drugs dropped substantially in 1987.
            

(B) The price paid for most illegal drugs by the average consumer did not drop substantially in 1987.
            

(C) Domestic production of illegal drugs increased at a higher rate than did the entry of such drugs into the country.
            

(D) The wholesale price of a few illegal drugs increased substantially in 1987. E
            

(E) A drop in demand for most illegal drugs in 1987 was not the sole cause of the drop in their wholesale price.
            

请Lawyer解释一下, 或者其他XDJM知道的都帮忙解答一下,谢谢!

1。GAP和排除他因可以重复。象你举的例子。不过该例子用GAP较容易，因为结论提出了新概念，这个新概念只有C有，所以一眼就看到答案

2。正确答案排除结论的充分条件成立，必要条件不成立的可能。将该例题的答案E取非：需求减少是价格下降的唯一原因，则原文结论的充分条件成立时（If the program had been successful，该项目控制供应），必要条件（the wholesale price of most illegal drugs would not have dropped substantially in 1987）可能不成立。因为供应不是价格下降的原因。所以答案E排除是结论不成立的原因：需求是唯一因素。

对于特殊办法，有时不熟悉用起来难，建议将重点放在普遍方法上。

ETS有一招用得最多的是指东打西，题目里说这个月的销售如何如何，答案就有可能是说另外几个月如何如何；题目说有人有什么什么病，答案有可能是他小时候如何如何。但是重要一点东和西之间有内在的联系。
        再说说思考的问题，一定要在平时生活中锻炼逻辑的思维思路，这样培养出来的思路才是你的，到时候本能的你就会有正确的反应。

 

鸡吃鱼，因为鸡的数量上生所以鱼的数量上升，问WEAKEN。我记得我自己的思路是鸡上升但是鱼没上升，或者是其他原因导致鱼上升。但是答案的不是这两个，而且前者思路还作为干扰选项。大家看看这个推论里到底是什么是原因呢？？不能看因为所以，要知道他的实际推理过程是
        因为鱼的数量上升所以说鸡的数量上升！恰恰和题中的因为所以相反，为什么呢，因为因果关系有两个特征1要有时间先后，2有因果联系。大家看是先有鱼上升还是先有鸡上声？很明显是鱼！，所以这类题的思路应该是，鱼上升但是鸡没上升，或者其他原因导致鸡上升！！这类题目是难题，干扰选项很大，大家以后可以留意一下，因为我就是发现后期做题时就些题思路很不熟悉，所以才总结的。

 

即使你做对了OG也要看后面的解释，要看所有的解释。大家千万不要轻视这些解释，他们暗藏玄机。For example,...由此我们可以看出，不论是加强、削弱或是假设都要对某个逻辑过程入手。当我看完所有的解释后就对此深信不疑了。这次考试时真题的逻辑过程与OG完全一致，只不过对阅读要求提高了。我认为只要你掌握以下三点，现在真题里所有的逻辑就会迎刃而解：其一，找到并记住文章中的逻辑主体，以及哪个主体与哪个主体发生了关系，另外多注意最后结论中的逻辑主体。其二，选项的逻辑主体之间的关系与文章中的逻辑关系有点类似就行，第三，更正这样一个观念：并不是名词，动词或是系动词才能产生逻辑关系的变化，有时修饰语也能产生逻

 

我明白你的意思. 我所说的是做题要达到的一个目标,也是为什么要思考以及从哪个角度思考.

关于阅读的速度, 我的办法就是1. 阅读时着重于结构, 对作者论证的思路, 以及态度的把握. 对细节我认为无须记忆, 要对关键词有印象. 因为细节都是用于支持论证的, 把握了文章的结构对locate细节也很有帮助. 还有我提到过, 一篇文章就3-5个题, 一般情况主题题或态度至少有一个,细节不是全都有用. 所以处理细节的方法就是对关键词, 细节的位置和作用有印象, 看到问题时回原文找答案. 2. 阅读的时间要保障, 就要从CR和SC挤时间. 我在给anchoret的留言中提到要合理运用排除法处理SC和CR题目. 这也是我在实考中Verbal提前10分钟完成的原因,虽然我也遇到了90行的阅读.3. 关于做笔记我没有经验, 我阅读的重点在于active thinking, 无论是CR,SC还是RC,每读完一部分要对其含义和作用有认识. 我对记忆不是很看重.

希望以上对你有帮助

以下是引用maggiecookies在2006-5-24 13:00:00的发言：

看到你发帖, 这道题这句话我不明白, 能不能解释一下? (希望您别介意我把讨论贴发在这里)

61. The recent decline in the value of the dollar was triggered by a prediction of slower economic growth in the coming year. But that prediction would not have adversely affected the dollar had it not been for the government’s huge budget deficit, which must therefore be decreased to prevent future currency declines.

是不是 it had not been for the government's huge budget deficit, 如果不是政府的巨大赤字, but that prediction would not have adversely affected the dollar

那么预测就不会影响美元的下跌.

  adversely effect 这里相反的作用和什么相反呢?

But that prediction would not have adversely affected the dollar(if) had it not been for the government’s huge budget deficit, which must therefore be decreased to prevent future currency declines.(虚拟语气省略if)
    

先翻译: 最近美元贬值是由于对来年经济放缓的预测引发的. 但是对来年的经济预测将不会反作用于美元如果政府没有出现大规模的预算赤字, 大规模的预算赤字一定会降低阻止未来流通货币贬值的可能性(即大规模预算赤字导致美元贬值)

这里的反作用指: 对来年的经济预测会导致美元贬值

15. The proposal to hire ten new police officers in Middletown is quite foolish. There is sufficient funding to pay the salaries of the new officers, but not the salaries of additional court and prison employees to process the increased caseload of arrests and convictions that new officers usually generate.

Which of the following, if true, will most seriously weaken the conclusion drawn above?

(A) Studies have shown that an increase in a city’s police force does not necessarily reduce crime.

(B) When one major city increased its police force by 19 percent last year, there were 40 percent more arrests and 13 percent more convictions.

(C) If funding for the new police officers’ salaries is approved, support for other city services will have to be reduced during the next fiscal year.

(D) In most United States cities, not all arrests result in convictions, and not all convictions result in prison terms.（E）

(E) Middletown’s ratio of police officers to citizens has reached a level at which an increase in the number of officers will have a deterrent effect on crime.
    

答案是E, 但我选了D,还是不明白为什么D错

NN 们的逻辑总结

FILL IN BLANK题型有什么特点呢？
      感觉这种题型有点像SUPPORT题和MUST BE TRUE题的结合。答案必须支持结论，又必须严格符合原文给出的信息。
Principle:

要和原文的道理完全一致

例如原题：

Property taxes are typically set at a flat rate per $ 1,000 of officially assessed value. Reassessments should be frequent in order to remove distortions that arise when property values change at differential rates. In practice, however, reassessments typically occur when they benefit the government – that is, when their effect is to increase total tax revenue.

If the statements above are true, which of the following describes a situation in which a reassessment should occur but is unlikely to do so?

(A) Property values have risen sharply and uniformly.

(B) Property values have all risen – some very sharply, some less so.

(C) Property values have for the most part risen sharply yet some have dropped slightly.

(D) Property values have for the most part dropped significantly; yet some have risen slightly.

(E) Property values have dropped significantly and uniformly

题目要判断哪种情况：should occur but is unlikely to do so

题目要判断哪种情况：should occur but is unlikely to do so

1）should or shouldn't:

从以下这句判断：Reassessments再课税 should be frequent in order to remove distortions that arise when property values change at differential方向不同的 rates.

should------differential rate

2）likely or unlikely：

从以下这句判断：In practice, however, reassessments typically occur when they benefit the government – that is, when their effect is to increase total tax revenue.

unlikely------decrease

Main Idea

归纳题，比较难的是要归纳出隐含的意思。P138

 Flaw:

 Flaw:

答案要含有原题所有元素

1)      数和比例，比率，
   样本的不完全性，
   样本的错误，
    QUANTITY 和QUALITY，
    APPLY 和ENROLL –比较白痴的FLAW

2)      一个过程有几个阶段，
   某一阶段有错误或不成立（选项）导致全文FLAW

 P152，P204----需要仔细分析，
   有的时候有隐含推理。

例如：P79，
  不知道为什么归在这里，
  但这题比较难

 

 

1.       OG79
79. When hypnotized subjects are told that they are deaf and are then asked whether they can hear the hypnotist, they reply, “No.” Some theorists try to explain this result by arguing that the selves of hypnotized subjects are dissociated into separate parts, and that the part that is deaf is dissociated from the part that replies.
Which of the following challenges indicates the most serious weakness in the attempted explanation described above?
(A) Why does the part that replies not answer, “Yes”?
(B) Why are the observed facts in need of any special explanation?
(C) Why do the subjects appear to accept the hypnotist’s suggestion that they are deaf?
(D) Why do hypnotized subjects all respond the same way in the situation described?
(E) Why are the separate parts of the self the same for all subjects?

From SIBEL

理过程：deaf和reply分离-->回答no. 推理成立的前提条件：
1 病人听到了问题（否则不会回答）。而且，
2 reply part知道自己deaf（否则不会回答no）。
而这个假设2与前提矛盾。即：

答案a:为什么不回答yes呢？如果回答了yes，则说明deaf和reply果然分离。正是指出了这个矛盾。

自我感觉：需要推出隐含假设再做weaken的gmat题好像不多。

不晓得说清楚了没有。其实欧这里也糊涂。不过隐约体会到有隐含假设的时候，这个题目已经可以做出来了

FORM XY

lawyer说过，削弱题的目的，是要提出让作者不得不作出反应或补充说明的问题。比如本题，你问其他问题时，作者不需要作出任何解释。但是如果问：那他们为什么不回答yes呢？此时作者就不得不作出另外的解释了，因为仅仅文章给出的解释是无法回答这个问题的。

RESOLVE THE PARADOX

 P13，
   Defense Department analysts worry that the ability of the United States to wage a prolonged war would be seriously endangered if the machine-tool manufacturing base shrinks further. Before the Defense Department publicly connected this security issue with the import quota issue, however, the machine-tool industry raised the national security issue in its petition for import quotas.

Which of the following,if true, contributes most to an explanation of the machine-tool industry's raising the issue above regarding natinoal security?
(C)The machine-tool industry encountered difficulty in obtaining goverment protection against imports on grounds other than defense.

这是我从来都做对但从来都不是很明白的一题，但看了下面的解释豁然开朗。

就好像妈妈说你在学习上有不懂的问题时才可以去小明家,而你确实很想去小明家,但不是为乐问问题而是为了参加生日party,但是你为乐让妈妈给你去,你只能说你有不懂的问题.machine-tool manufacturing base shrinks 是事实
   国防部担心它，是因为害怕它影响到美军长期作战的能力，因此，他们要求进口配额，好让自己的machine-tool发展。
   然而，在国防部关心这件事情之前，这个行业就已经请求政府实施进口配额了。原因显而易见，缺乏政策性的保护，无法与进口产品竞争，让他们很不利。他们没有从国防事业考虑。
  好象GWD 有类似的：import & export 也是典型的这种题
     Some communities in Florida are populated almost exclusively by retired people and contain law, if any families with small children. Yet these communities are home to thriving businesses specializing in the rental of furniture for infants and small children.

Which of the following, if true, best reconciles the seeming discrepancy described above?

D. Many residents of these communities must provide for the needs of visiting grandchildren several weeks a year.

1）退休工人爱买玩具，
  他们不玩，
  孙儿玩。

2）政府要推一种新储蓄， I 更高，去吸引更多的钱，

GWD 有看到和这题思路相类似的，
   退休工人的多少代表了经济的繁荣与否。。。

GMAT的逻辑很怪，
   只要是出现飞机的问题，
   一定都不是飞机本身的问题

1）    比如飞机出事，不是飞机不好而是飞行员不好

2）    要把小型机换成AIRBUS，不是飞机不好， 而是AIRBUS 体积太大， 本来就空间小， 现在就空间更小。

3）    飞机SEALBELT 的问题不是人们不重视安全， 正因为人们太重视，认为OLD SEATBELT 安全指数更高。

P133 保险问题

只要是PREMIUM 增加，别的问题都不是问题，都是COST 问题

1）    CAR Insurance 增加， 虽然CAR比以前更安全， 可是医疗成本更高。

2）    发射卫星的INSURANCE 增加,  也是因为什么什么COST 增加P148。。P127

增加最低工资

1）政府要提高MINIMUM WAGE， SAMLL-BUSINESS 反对， 这种反对好象没有道理， 因为该项法规不用于中小企业。。：   选项： 虽然不用，但是主动参考MATCH。

2）政府MINIMUM WAGE， STORE 的成本增加因为职员收入增加， 可是销售额大增：

STORE 的目标客户是以MINIMUM WAGE 为生的劳动人民。P149

政府调节

永远要与财政政策联系：TAX，补贴

1）  政府让农民少种棉花  并给补贴： 政府当然不吃亏： 供求使价格升高， TAX增加，财政还是：）

2）  大意：
  政府让农民在春季种AA，并给补贴，
  农民秋季连BB都不钟了，因为（想拿补贴），
  即使种了AA的田就种不了BB。

2）
  临界问题： SOLAR –cost –efficient.. OIL – cost efficient … 所以他们的临界值才可能不变。
   

153、Technological improvements and reduced equipment costs have made converting solar energy directly into electricity far more cost-efficient in the last decade.However, the threshold of economic viability for solar power(that is, the price per barrel to which oil would have to rise in order for new solar power plants to be more economical than new oil-fired power plants) is unchanged at thirty-five dollars.
Which of the following,if true,does most to help explain why the increased cost-efficiency of solar power has not decreased its threshold of economic viability?
A) The cost of oil has fallen dramatically.
B)The reduction in the cost of solar-power equipment has occured despite increased raw material costs for that equipment.
C)Technological changes have increased the efficiency of oil-fired,power plants.
D)Most electricity is generated by coal-fired or nuclear,rather than oil-fired,power plants.
E)When the price of oil increases, reserves of oil not previously worth exploiting become economically viable

不多说，提醒一点，即文中比较的是用石油的火力发电站和太阳能发电站发电的成本，而油价只是成本的一部分，C说效率更高了，即单位成本的产出更多，平均成本下降这题这样理解比较好：？？？
  我不认同当油价为35时，太阳能电和火力电价格持平，即太阳能cost=35+火力cost，太阳能cost－火力cost＝35，当太阳能cost下降时，

等式继续成立，所以火力cost必然下降，这里与油价没有关系。
