阔别已经很久了
不过从今天开始我就是避无可避了

学校的考试已经结束了
我也已经预约了05月31日的考试
今天是5号
时间只有25天

希望能得到大家的帮助
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

目前我完成的内容，只有og，除了RC，别的两个部分都做了不下3，4遍了
怎么说呢
我现在的感觉一直不是很好
逻辑，本来应该是我强项，但是时间总是控制不好，时间用多了，正确率再高也是白搭
语法，经历了起伏，有过一段时间感觉相当的好，速度正确率都狠赞
但是前几天从新做了之后，发现问题还是满大的，有些题目我是记错了，有的题目也因为做了多次，直接看都不怎么看就直接选了，结果有的时候就错了
反正狠郁闷

com'on!

今天大概制定了一个计划
距离考试还有24天
以每6天一个循环，初步安排如下

5月7号到5月12号，重点看语法，当然别的内容也要兼顾。
日后每天awa2个鸡精，早成套路早结束，今天try了下，发现agruement没多大问题，issue想要写好还是要稍微动动脑经，反正这个写作比GRE的简单些。不过有一个问题，不知道这里的写作的issue是不是象GRE一样有2个题目，可以让你2选1。

每天2篇阅读，把资本完成后，我就准备做gwd的后面题目的阅读

语法大概的想法是这样的，我先用2天把紫本OG的语法做完，并且同时复习黄本的OG
后4天，开始做大全，训练速度

每天一个费费逻辑垫底

5月13日到5月18日，重点就是逻辑了。自我感觉那个时候应该可以了，先不急着把费费干掉，还是先干资本，然后再上大全补充下，关键就是找思路了。
awa和阅读接着做。这个时候语法的部分，我就准备看那个菜鸟手册，跟着分类走了。

5月19日到5月24日，当然就是搞阅读了。不过，我自我感觉，只要阅读又状态，什么都好办。经过那么多的训练，也应该够了。准备看看他人经验，然后再巩固下自己的阅读。我意识到自己现在阅读的问题是很多时候不能静下心来好好读，导致两级分化，要么对一两个，要么错一两个。

在这里，我准备看具体的情况，如果阅读没有大碍，那么我就准备上GWD了，一天一套。

5月24日到5月30日，把OG大全再干一次，上GWD。每天来cd喝鸡精。

5月31日，考试。

刚才上了费费
果然很爽
看的很懂的题目也未必很对
反正第一个section错了三分之一
当然有感觉是里面有些题目的问法不太适应比如什么lesat strengthen。。。
我个人感觉应该先选出strengthen的，然后再里面找一个最弱的
但是答案的看法是，直接选个无关的。

个人感觉他的理解也能说对，但是我自己的理解我也不想说错。
大概就是这个样子把

回11楼的strout

嘿嘿，不瞒你说，我还确实在考虑这个问题
老师也给我说过这个问题
告诉我，如果下个学期我修点统计的课程那么进入FINANCIAL MATHEMATICS会很有优势
不过说真的，我自己感觉我更希望自己和人交往些，所以我两个都会try下的

谢谢拉

今天的任务算是基本完成
因为今天还是需要做一些学期结束的扫尾工作，要去给教的学生交final的成绩，要去还借来的课本，要去办回国的手续……还要准备回国的礼品

不过完成了紫本og的3个语法section，每个section20个题目
做题情况大概如下：
01－05： 2错
06－10：1错
11－15：1错
16－20：4错 汗颜。。。
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
21－25：3错 继续汗颜。。。
26－30：1错
31－35：1错
36－40：1错
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
41－45：1错
46－50：1错
51－55：1错
56－60：1错
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

大概的情况是，其中一般的题目涉及到idiom
错的狠是郁闷
小节如下
重要的idiom是
account for                       占多少比例（不是一般的解释原因）
think of x as y                   把x看作y
mistake x for y                  把x误认为y
aimed at                           被动aim，目的在
no less than
prohibit from doing sth
owed restitution to x for y

rule 后面的从句不需要虚拟语气
demand x to do y 错！！只有demand that x do y和demand x

redundant words:can做情态动词的时候包含potenially的意思

24题中，后半分句，告诉我主语从句的谓语动词为单数，哪怕宾语是多个。
<what is much more difficult to determine> <is> the reason for their decoration,the use to which primitive people put the caves, and use to which primitive people put the caves, and the meaning of the magnificently depicted animals.

另外不解的几个语法点是，
1。我不知道什么时候平行结构中的介词和to可以省略
      紫色og sc的25题：
The Baldrick Manufacturing Company has for several years followed a policy <aimed> <at> decreaing operating costs and <> improving the efficiency of its distribution system.
我不知道什么时候这个地方的介词at必须写出来？

2。我记得toefl的时候有个地方谓语动词的单复数是要看宾语的，但是怎么也想不起来。谁能帮忙说下。

3.owed restitution to x for y应该怎么解释？
og11紫色 53：In a 5-to-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that two upstate New York counties owed restitution to three tribes of Oneida Indians for the unlawful seizure of their ancestal lands in the eighteenth century.

4. independent from 和 independent of有什么区别
independent of 与...无关; 不依赖; 不取决于; 不受...限制
independent from ？？？

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
费费的做了第二个section
感觉有2个答案不能让我信服，18个里面错了7个。不过用时比原来好多了，35分钟。

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
阅读没有时间做，明天继续

总体感觉比昨天好多了，觉得满爽的事情是好几个题目都是最后凭预感做题目，都做对了
给了偶很大的信心。
不过今天为了赶时间，错了些简单的题目，有点郁闷

另外值得我高兴的一个事情是今天的费费section3，错了1个，的确是狠让我兴奋
不过感觉今天的这个section相对来说简单
anyway，狠开心

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

语法的小节：
61. to keep from = avoid
69. as more as or more than 这个习语错了
72. with 短语要紧接修饰成分
73. as usual
74. rate of 比率用of
      rate for费用用for
78. 一个感觉,不知道是不是完全正确,目前为止,我觉得当有2个词形容某个名词的时候,都是应该是两个形容词共同修饰这个名词.而不是adv+adj+n.

81. worried about > worried over
82.修饰中心词最重要
85.大并列,大平行,一定要小心
87. with meat as a rarity
88. where there be句型做错几次了,这个看着狠不爽的答案都是几次都是对的
      better served by x than by y
91. allowances for sb 某某的津贴
92. as many as (主语省略) are enrolled in
      as many as 可数
      equal to 不可数
     equivalent to 太模糊,不选
96. propose that + (should)虚拟语气
100. or不能用于肯定句中的三者平行

106. be isolated from
110.全划线题目(难题),读不懂题目就要静心看句子.原句中必然有歧义不清楚的地方
============================
问题:

77.
            Each of
Hemingway's wives--Hadley Richardson. Pauline Pfeiffer. Martha Gelhom. and Mary
Welsh --were strong and interesting women, very different from the often
pallid women who populate his novels.
    

(A)         
Each
of Hemingway's wives--Hadley
            Richardson,
Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhom, and Mary Welsh--were strong and interest­ing
women,

    

(B)

Welsh--each of them Hemingway's wives--were strong and, interesting women,

    

(C)

(E)         
Strong
and interesting women—Hadley
            Richardson,
Pauline Pfeiffer, Martha Gelhom, and Mary Welsh--every one of Hemingway's wives
were

这个虽然是做对了，但是还是狠不清楚尤其是最后的那个his，我狠清楚这个his如何的指代。我知道如果是it，he，she这样的，要么指代主语要么指代宾语，不能知道介词短语里面的内容。但是这里的his是怎么回事情呢？谁能帮忙解释下。

104. as well as应该怎么用?

贴下自己AA,欢迎板砖

 AA 40. The following appeared as part of an article in a weekly newsmagazine.
“The
country of Sacchar can best solve its current trade deficit problem by
lowering the price of sugar, its primary export. Such an action would
make Sacchar better able to compete for markets with other
sugar-exporting countries. The sale of Sacchar’s sugar abroad would
increase, and this increase would substantially reduce Sacchar’s trade
deficit.”

=======================================================================

    

The author try to convince us that the
country of Sacchar can best solve its current trade deficit problem by lowering
the price of sugar. In order to support the conclusion, he or she states some
information about sugar. However, before the author provides more information,
we can not agree his or her conclusion at this moment, since there are many
flaws in his or her statement.

    

 

    

First of all, the author admits an
unwarranted assumption that the trade deficit problem in the country of Sacchar
is not made by sugar. If it is the sugar, the primary export products of the
country of Sacchar, made the problem. How can we expect that we can definitely
gain more trades by lowering sugar’s price? Probably, it is because the current
quality of sugar on the international market is so poor that no buyer would
like to purchase the sugar from the country of Sacchar and thus the country
encounters a trade deficit. Unless the country could improve the quality of
sugar, it can not change the sugar's situation in the market.

    

 

    

Secondly, even if the trade deficit is made
by some other problem, whether we can solve the problem by lowering the price
of sugar is still in doubt. We need more information about performance of the
sugar from the country of Sacchar in international market. If the sugar’s price
is sufficient low now and the low price is the only advantage it owns, how can
we expect that the country of Sacchar could continue to low the sugar price?
Since the sugar price is sufficient low, the country of Sacchar will have no
profits if it lowers its price any more. We can not solve a trade deficit
problem by raising new an incoming deficit problem. Therefore, the author
should give more information here to support his or her views.

    

 

    

Thirdly, although we admit that lowering
the sugar’s price is good for solving current trade deficit problem, how can we
say it is the best way to solve this problem? Probably there are some other
ways to solve the problem. For example, if the real reason of trade deficit is
that the country of Sacchar bans to import the wheat from the country of T,
definitely to reopen scacchar's market and import the wheat from country T is
the most efficient way to solve the problem. Thus, unless the author could
exclude all other methods to solve the problem, we can not agree his or her
conclusion.

    

 

    

Therefore, the author has to provide more
detailed information to support his or her recommendation, especially to
provide the information about the real reason why the country experience the
trade deficit.

不好意思,昨天没有写.去Ann Arbor京华餐馆腐败去了.

昨天大概做的工作就是整理之前看过的OG11的大黄本
然后还做了费费的section4,不过是在朋友的催促中完成的,结果可想而知,唉为自己浪费了一套题目而叹息

今天把大黄本的第6遍给过完了
总以为自己现在语法狠是进步了
看看语法板子上别人发的问题,我也大概都能解释了
哪知道刚才一做大黄本上前面的 诊断题目
唉,还有不少漏网之鱼
简直是打击啊,第一遍做就是错5个,现在做还是错5个,唯一的不同就是,刚才自大的偶几乎都是一两眼就去选答案了.严重受打击,都没有仔细的带入答案去读,把那些语感都浪费了...

36.New data from United States Forest Service ecologists show that for every dollar spent on controlled small scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire management personnel, it saves seven dollars that would not be spent on having to extinguish big fires.

B)that for every dollar spent on controlled small scaled buring, forest thinning, and the training of fire management personnel, seven dollars are saved that would have been spent on extinguishing.

这个地方选是选对了,不过对定从小疑问存在.上面的定从里面的that可以不用直接跟在seven dollars后面么???

42. The Supreme Court has ruled that public univeristies can collect studnet activity fees even with students' objections to particular activiteis, so long as the groups they give money to will be chosen without regard to their views.

A) with students objections to particular activities, as long as the groups they give money to will be

B) if they have objections to particular activities and the groups that are given the money are

C) if they object to particular activities, but the groups that the money is given to have to be

D)from students who object to particular activities, so long as the groups given money are

E)though students have an objection to particular activities, but the groups that are given the money be

their指代的什么?从原句看应该指"学生的"意见啊
so long as : adv 查了下是只要的意思
as long as :conj= since   既然
最后谁能帮忙翻译下这个话

49. As an actress and, more imporantly, as a teacher of acting, Stella Adler was one of the most influential artists in the American theater, who trained several genertions of actors including Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro.

B) Stella Adler, one of the most influential artists in the American theater, trained several genrations of actors who include

C)Stella Adler was one of the most influential artists in the American theater, training several generations of actors, whose ranks included

怎解?
