[原创]9月1日上海二战——鸡肋680，带着遗憾告别GMAT，有点郁闷……

吉吉狗

还有一些几何体，都很简单，比如告诉你四边相等的平行四边形（废话，这不就是菱形嘛），还很nice的告诉你每边的边长，面积，最后问你一个内角的度数

后半夜了，脑子有点儿蒙了，上面这道题怎么解啊？

YAHA_JJ

谢谢LZ分享。

查了牛津高阶，发现tap似乎都作极物动词，只找到tap sth (off)(from sth)的搭配。

eg.tap cider from a cask. 打开桶的龙头放出苹果酒。

不知LZ遇到的题目是不是考这个用法

一个班90个鬼子选课，每人至少选一门，选A的有60，B的40，C的20，三门都选的5个，问只选两门的几个？（60+40+20-90-5*2）

我怎么觉得应试是60+40+20-90+5*2=40

我觉得应该是 - 没错，说不出道理，因为都是硬算出来的。。。。。

lovelydoggie

先谢谢LZ，写得挺详细的。不要难过，既然不打算考了，就好好写SP什么的，我觉得那些远比GMAT重要呢，而且是第一天考，很好了~~~

可以麻烦大家跟我可以对下答案么？

第一题好像是个计算题，easy，拿下

有800个鬼子被取作调查样本，对A，B两个玩意儿的喜好程度作评价，三种选择yes，no，unsure，给你一张图，告诉你选每一项的人数，还有一个条件：对A say yes 且对B不说yes的人数是200，问对either a or b say yes 的人数（数字可能有点出入，大差不差），反正画一张维恩图，弄清楚就行，no and unsure归为一类）

	Yes	No	Unsure
A	500	200	100
B	400	300	100

 是700

 是700

一个班90个鬼子选课，每人至少选一门，选A的有60，B的40，C的20，三门都选的5个，问只选两门的几个？（60+40+20-90-5*2）

 这个同意LZ

 这个同意LZ

DS：三个三位数，x=y+z，问他们的百位是否有：x的百位数等于Y的百位数加Z的百位数

（1）       x的十位数等于Y的十位数加Z的十位数

（2）       x的个位数等于Y的个位数加Z的个位数

 这个是选A么？

 这个是选A么？

已知，a=x+1/x,b=x-1/x，求2^（a^2）/2(b^2) 实际上知道a^2-b^2=4就行了，答案16

 同意

 同意

一个鬼子跑步，前半程用40mile/h的速度，后半程用60mile/h（这么快，跑不死他），问全程平均速度

48m/h

DS：|x-2|+|x+2|是否等于4？（1）x小于零（2）x属于（-2，2），用数轴点的距离搞定

 B

 B

Verbal一开始晕机严重，上来第一个语法就闷了，考平行，全是明显的错误，呵呵，一个都不对（可是没有F. none of above is correct这个选项阿），愣了三分钟，胡乱点，过，第二个SC继续泄菜，好像是靠一个短语：tap into/tap from，没听说过阿，（ets不厚道阿，前两个考固定搭配，明摆了整我嘛）两个闷一个，50%，第一篇阅读完全不知所云，考完全部忘光光，前十题自然死得难堪……后来靠着第二篇阅读才找到一些感觉，后面20题感觉正佳，可是ETS已经不给我翻盘的机会了，pace倒是很好，呵呵，说点记得的

这个也许选tap into,因为查不到tap from不过不确定

tap into: use or exploit a plentiful resource for your benefit

Eg:The company is hoping to tap into the Chinese market.

楼主看看关于美国经济现象的是不是下面这篇：

(This passage is excerpted from material published in 1997)

Whereas United States eco-

nomic productivity grew at an annual

rate of 3 percent from 1945 to 1965,

Line                            it has grown at an annual rate of

(5)                        only about 1 percent since the early

1970’s. What might be preventing

higher productivity growth? Clearly,

the manufacturing sector of the

economy cannot be blamed. Since

(10)                      1980, productivity improvements

in manufacturing have moved the

United States from a position of

acute decline in manufacturing

to one of world prominence.

(15)                      Manufacturing, however, consti-

tutes a relatively small proportion

of the economy. In 1992, goods-

producing businesses employed

only 19.1 percent of American

(20)                      workers, whereas service-producing

businesses employed 70 percent.

Although the service sector has

grown since the late 1970’s, its

productivity growth has declined.

(25)                      Several explanations have been

Offered for this declined and for the

discrepancy in productivity growth

between the manufacturing and

service sectors. One is that tra-

(30)                      ditional measures fail to reflect

service-sector productivity growth

because it has been concentrated

in improved quality of services.

Yet traditional measures of manu-

(35)                      facturing productivity have shown

significant increases despite the

undermeasurement of quality,

whereas service productivity has

continued to stagnate. Others argue

(40)                      that since the 1970’s, manufacturing

workers, faced with strong foreign

competition, have learned to work

more efficiently in order to keep their

jobs in the United States, but service

(45)                      workers, who are typically under

less global competitive pressure,

have not. However, the pressure on

manufacturing workers in the United

States to work more efficiently has

(50)                      generally been overstated, often

for political reasons. In fact, while
                    

some manufacturing jobs have been
                    

lost due to foreign competition, many
                    

more have been lost simply because
                    

(55)                      of slow growth in demand for manu-
                    

factured goods.
                    

       Yet another explanation blames

the federal budget deficit: if it were

lower, interest rate would be lower

(55)                      too, thereby increasing investment

in the development of new technol-

ogies, which would spur productivity

growth in the service sector. There

is, however, no dearth of techno-

(60)                      logical resources, rather, managers

in the service sector fail to take

advantage of widely available skills

and machines. High productivity

growth levels attained by leading-

(65)                      edge service companies indicate

that service sector managers

who wisely implement available

technology and choose skillful

workers can significantly improve

(70)                      their companies’ productivity.

The culprits for service-sector

productivity stagnation are the

forces－such as corporate
                    

takeovers and unnecessary
                    

(75)                      governmental regulation－that

distract managers from the task

of making optimal use of available

resources.

就是这篇，我标注的地方有两道考题

becharming

tap into
    

1. To establish a connection with; have access to: tapped into a new market for their products.
           
2. To take advantage of: tapped into their enthusiasm to improve the school.

是TTGWD9的考到的问题贴一下：

Q33:

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the budget-deficit explanation for the discrepancy mentioned in line 27?

             

1. Research shows that the federal budget deficit has traditionally caused service companies to invest less money in research and development of new technologies.

2. New technologies have been shown to play a significant role in companies that have been able to increase their service productivity.

3. In both the service sector and manufacturing, productivity improvements are concentrated in gains in quality.

4. The service sector typically requires larger investments in new technology in order to maintain productivity growth than dose manufacturing.

5. High interest rates tend to slow the growth of manufacturing productivity as much as they slow the growth of service-sector productivity in the United States.

Answer:

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

Q34:

The passage states which of the following about the effect of foreign competition on the American manufacturing sector since the 1970’s?

             

1. It has often been exaggerated.

2. It has not been a direct cause of job loss.

3. It has in large part been responsible for the subsequent slowing of productivity growth.

4. It has slowed growth in the demand for manufactured goods in the United States.

5. It has been responsible for the majority of American jobs lost in manufacturing.

Answer:

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

Q36:

The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about productivity improvements in United States service companies?

 

1. Such improvements would be largely attributable to efficiencies resulting from corporate takeovers.

2. Such improvements would depend more on wise implementation of technology than on mangers’ choice of skilled workers.

3. Such improvements would be more easily accomplished if there were fewer governmental regulations of the service sector.

4. Such improvements would require companies to invest heavily in the development of new technologies.

5. Such improvements would be attributable primarily to companies’ facing global competitive pressure.

 

我的JJ还是有所误导哦，大家还是看原文
