4. Which of the following best completes the passage below?

Sales campaigns aimed at the faltering personal computer market have strongly emphasized ease of use, called user-friendliness. This emphasis is oddly premature and irrelevant in the eyes of most potential buyers, who are trying to address the logically prior issue of whether----

(A) user-friendliness also implies that owners can service their own computers
(B) personal computers cost more the more user-friendly they are
(C) currently available models are user-friendly enough to suit them
(D) the people promoting personal computers use them in their own homes
(E) they have enough sensible uses for a personal computer to justify the expense of buying one

答案:E,我在B/E中犹豫,能否请教B/E的确切意思,他们之间有什么差别吗?谢谢.

18. Teresa: Manned spaceflight does not have a future, since it cannot compete economically with other means of accomplishing the objectives of spaceflight.

Edward: No mode of human transportation has a better record of reliability: two accidents in twenty-five years. Thus manned spaceflight definitely has a positive future.

Which of the following is the best logical evaluation of Edward’s argument as a response to Teresa’s argument?

(A) It cites evidence that, if true, tends to disprove the evidence cited by Teresa in drawing her conclusion.
(B) It indicates a logical gap in the support that Teresa offers for her conclusion.
(C) It raises a consideration that outweighs the argument Teresa makes.
(D) It does not meet Teresa’s point because it assumes that there is no serious impediment to transporting people into space, but this was the issue raised by Teresa.
(E) It fails to respond to Teresa’s argument because it does not address the fundamental issue of whether space activities should have priority over other claims on the national budget.

答案,这个纯逻辑题,我排除了A,B,在C,D,E中选择.请教这三个选项的差别.谢谢.

我觉得D不是答案: 因为题干T考虑的是经济考虑,而E考虑的是安全问题.而D中that there is no serious impediment to transporting people into space, but this was the issue raised by Teresa.这在原文T的观点中并没有出现啊,相反地,C,E更有可能是答案.

20. The following proposal to amend the bylaws of an organization was circulated to its members for comment.
When more than one nominee is to be named for an office, prospective nominees must consent to nomination and before giving such consent must be told who the other nominees will be.
Which of the following comments concerning the logic of the proposal is accurate if it cannot be known who the actual nominees are until prospective nominees have given their consent to be nominated?

(A) The proposal would make it possible for each of several nominees for an office to be aware of who all of the other nominees are.
(B) The proposal would widen the choice available to those choosing among the nominees.
(C) If there are several prospective nominees, the proposal would deny the last nominee equal treatment with the first.
(D)The proposal would enable a prospective nominee to withdraw from competition with a specific person without making that withdrawal known.
(E) If there is more than one prospective nominee, the proposal would make it impossible for anyone to become a nominee.

答案:E.这个过程是怎么来的?我做了三遍,都错了.看得我晕晕的.

谢谢.

4.b.个人电脑用户友好性越强，则价格越高。
  e.潜在购买者有充分的理由去承担购买电脑的费用。
题干认为用户友好性与潜在购买者考虑的因素无关，因为购买者目前仍处于考虑电脑是否必要的初级阶段。

18.确实有点绕。但相对E,D还是好些。Edward有隐含的可行性假设，但Teresa正是指出其经济上不可行。E 中提到other claims on the national budget,原文并无涉及，事实上other means of accomplishing the objectives of spaceflight并不一定与国家预算有关。C 中outweigh明显不符，25年里才多少次航天飞行，如何与其他运输工具相比。

20.原文指nominee在同意提名前必须知道其他被提名者是否已表示同意。这是一种悖论。如果有两个以上的被提名人，这根本不可能做到。因为彼此的观点都依赖于对方事先的结论。

shany,

D：because it assumes that there is no serious impediment to transporting people into space==》Edward有隐含的可行性假设，同意。
主要是D中的后半句，but this was the issue raised by Teresa.这个怎么理解？

E 中提到other claims on the national budget,原文并无涉及，事实上other means of accomplishing the objectives of spaceflight并不一定与国家预算有关。赞成。

C：E考虑的安全性，比起T提出的经济考虑，更重要。我的理解对吗？

4，20，明白了，非常感谢。说到底， 还是阅读的障碍，真不知有什么办法能改进啊？？。

〉主要是D中的后半句，but this was the issue raised by Teresa.这个怎么理解？

T认为Manned spaceflight does not have a future,理由就是其经济上无法与其他工具竞争。也就是经济上的考虑将阻碍其发展，这就是a serious impediment .

〉C：E考虑的安全性，比起T提出的经济考虑，更重要。我的理解对吗？
正确。

〉说到底， 还是阅读的障碍，真不知有什么办法能改进啊？？。
阅读的突破确实要加以时日。但我认为T20是个绝对的逻辑题，有点象脑筋急转弯，这种题不作也罢，GMAT想来不会出这种怪题。

joywzy

天啊，D应该是这样理解的啊！！

如果说我C理解得对，为什么C不是答案，它完全说得对啊？！

T20就是GMAT笔记真题。我经常转不过来。唉。

shany,谢谢。

我读完题的第一反应是：客户根本不需要user-friendly，或者说推销员搞错了诉求。如果说E确认有什么东西比USER-FRIENDLY重要的话；B则仅仅是对user-friendly的一个修正、补充，并未跳出userfriendly的圈子。即：革命和改革的差别。

完全同意.

重复说明：C 中outweigh没有说服力，25年里才多少次航天飞行，安全性如何与其他运输工具相比。

shany,不是安全性与其它工具相比，而是安全性与经济考虑相比，哪个更重要，如果安全和经济相比，当然安全更重要了。所以我认为C对。

shany

>安全性如何与其他运输工具相比。

得出的结论是根本没有安全性。
