11-16 成都下午 720（Q50, V38） AWA: Aa:92. _The following is taken from an editorial in a local newspaper. “Over the past decade, the price per pound of citrus fruit has increased substantially. Eleven years ago, Megamart charged 5 cents apiece for lemons, but today it commonly charges over 30 cents apiece. In only one of these last eleven years was the weather unfavorable for growing citrus crops. Evidently, then, citrus growers have been responsible for the excessive increase in the price of citrus fruit, and strict pricing regulations are needed to prevent them from continuing to inflate prices.” Ai 36、“Businesses and other organizations have overemphasized the importance of working as a team. Clearly, in any human group, it is the strong individual, the person with the most commitment and energy, who gets things done.” Sc: 1．遇到的两道GWD原题如下： GWD-18-Q1The Arthritis Research Institute of America advises women of color that they have twice the likelihood to get osteoarthritis of the knee as do White women. - that they have twice the likelihood to get osteoarthritis of the knee as do White women
- that they are twice as likely as White women to get osteoarthritis of the knee
- that their likelihood of getting osteoarthritis of the knee is twice as much as White women
- of being twice as likely as White women to get osteoarthritis of the knee
- of having twice the likelihood of getting osteoarthritis of the knee as White women
Answer: B GWD21-Q39: Almost like clones in their similarity to one another, the cheetah species’ homogeneity makes them especially vulnerable to disease. - the cheetah species’ homogeneity makes them especially vulnerable to disease
- the cheetah species is especially vulnerable to disease because of its homogeneity
- the homogeneity of the cheetah species makes it especially vulnerable to disease
- homogeneity makes members of the cheetah species especially vulnerable to disease
- members of the cheetah species are especially vulnerable to disease because of their homogeneity
Answer: E 这题原来做的时候做错了，结果回来一看答案，貌似还是选错了……猪头啊=_=/// 原因还是在于没有真正搞懂。个人觉得B更好，但GWD答案是E。
大家可以讨论一下。 这里提供大家的血的教训——做错的题一定要搞懂，否则你还会错第二次，第三次……最后一次就在考场上错！ 2．遇到一个关于fuel动词用法——做“火上浇油”的意思讲。混淆选项有fuel up 和feed up with fire, 个人觉得就应该用fuel——简洁且意思明确。 这个词在平时大家都当做名词用，建议去查一下字典。 RC:
RC: RC: 两篇本月jj: 稍作补充 1, 美国医疗改革失败 这是我碰到的最长的一篇文章，但结构清晰，逻辑顺畅，题目比较简单 第一段讲一些背景知识，大概就是医疗改革产生的原因等等 第二段讲先描述80年代医疗改革的失败，再讲述失败的原因，最后以hospital chain作为该失败的具体例子——考到第二段的机构题，就是如我描述的这样，比较确定。 第三段从另外的角度描述医疗改革失败的原因——不能改善病人不满意的方面（考点之一）和护士整体素质不高并缺乏必要的培训，并且医院往往考虑医生的角度，而忽略了病人的需求。 2，大脑那篇——较短。 新JJ 1， 关于technolonism(记不清怎么拼得了)和 technologist ——中等长度，题目不难 虽然本月已有两篇和technology相关的jj， 但我觉得跟我这篇都不太像。 文章的大意讲的是: 第一段：
现今世界的发展得益于技术的不断进步和国际化（internationalization），列举了几个internationalization的几个具体形式（考点——列举题） 第二段：但国家实力的对比就包括其资源、资本及技术优势方面的比较（该处有考点——except题），所以很多国家出于对自己国家利益的保护，拒绝分享技术进步的成果，不参与国际合作。
但事实上如今很多大规模的技术研究，国际合作是获取成功可能的重要因素（考点）。 第三段：记不清了，也可能没有第三段哈。
2， 关于physical constant物理常数和弦理论（String Theory）—天文物理方面
这时我遇到的 第二篇阅读，虽然很短，但是我觉得最难的一篇，自己感觉没有读懂，所以不在这里误导大家。只记得有道题考第一段的最后一句话在文章结构方面的作用。

CR： 我遇到的GWD原题有两个本月JJ： 1．GWD-29-Q37
Rabbits were introduced to Numa
Island in the nineteenth century. Overgrazing by the enormous population of rabbits now menaces the island’s agriculture. The government proposes to reduce the population by using a virus that has caused devastating epidemics in rabbit populations elsewhere. There is, however, a chance that the virus will infect the bilby, an endangered native marsupial. The government’s plan, therefore, may serve the interests of agriculture but will clearly increase the threat to native wildlife. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? A. There is less chance that the virus will infect domestic animals on Numa than that it will infect bilbies.
B. There are no species of animals on the island that prey on the rabbits.
C. Overgrazing by rabbits endangers many of the plants on which bilbies feed.
D. The virus that the government proposes to use has been successfully used elsewhere to control populations of rabbits.
E.
There is no alternative means of reducing the rabbit population that would involve no threat to the bilby.
Ans: C 2．兔子那题 3．还有一道boldface，出现在前十题，当时心中一阵窃喜。。。不过回来看了后发现加粗部分和GWD不一样，我把它找出来，大家看一下哈。 In countries where automobile insurance includes compensation for whiplash injuries sustained in automobile accidents, reports of having suffered such injuries are twice as frequent as they are in countries where whiplash is not covered. Some commentators have argued, correctly, that since there is presently no objective test for whiplash, spurious reports of whiplash injuries cannot be readily identified. These commentators are, however, wrong to draw the further conclusion that in the countries with the higher rates of reported whiplash injuries, half of the reported cases are spurious: clearly, in countries where automobile insurance does not include compensation for whiplash, people often have little incentive to report whiplash injuries that they actually have suffered. 再次友情提醒——不要试图去背GWD或JJ的答案，准备应当建立在理解的基础上，这样无论到真实考试的时候出现怎样的变体，都不会出差错！ Math: 个人对数字不敏感，没记下什么题，也不在这误导大家了。 请大家再次确认下between to 是否包含两端的数字X<Y<Z还是X<=Y<=Z，我遇到一题最后的答案就取决于是否包含等号！一定考证一下！ 另外，有很多jj的变体，所以大家一定要仔细，仔细再仔细！ 最后谈一点感受吧： 这次是我二战，一战680。从小到大我在考试方面都还比较顺利，所以选择二战真的很痛苦，因为意味着我还要再和GMAT玩下去——这对我的耐心是一个极大的考验！曾经看到一句话：“GMAT像一个很神奇的东西，自己的弱点、缺陷都被它一一拿到显微镜下做了放大”。所以对于我来说，GMAT带给我的是一段甜蜜而又艰辛的旅程，在这过程中我更清楚地看到了自己身上某些诟病，也从中获取了很多新的认知。所以我建议所有还在为GMAT奋战的朋友们，一定要珍惜这样宝贵的自我学习和自我提高的机会，只要你用心去体味和追寻，你所得到的必将比你想象的还多（我指的是除分数以外的东西）！
爱给予我力量——感谢一路过来给予我最大支持和鼓励的爸爸妈妈，感谢一同奋战的朋友。 Lastly, I will say thanks to my GMAT tutor or doctor---Ford, and attribute half of my result to your direction.
