GWD26-Q4

Consumers planning to buy recreational equipment tend to buy higher quality,

more expensive equipment when the economy is strong than when it is

weak. Hill and Dale is a business that sells high-quality, expensive camping

and hiking equipment in Boravia. Although all the signs are that Boravia’s

economy is now entering a period of sustained strength, the managers

of the business do not expect a substantial increase in sales.

 

Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest

justification for the managers’ judgment?

A.     A significant proportion of Hill and Dale’s sales are made to

customers who enter the store in order to buy one particular

item but, once there, find other items to buy as well.

B.     In Boravia when the economy is strong, those who might

otherwise go camping tend to take vacations overseas.

C.     The economic upturn is likely to allow Boravia’s nati-

onal parks, where most of the camping and hiking is

done, to receive extra funding to improve their visitor facilities.

D.     Advances in materials technology have led to the

development of hiking and camping equipment that

is more comfortable and lightweight than before.

E.      Many people in Boravia not only are committed to

preserving the country’s wilderness areas but also

are interested in spending some time in them.

选B还是C？个人倾向于C，如果选B，好像觉得说服力不太够。哪个更好，请发表意见，谢谢。

有争议吧

这题已经讨论过很多了，很难说哪个更好。

放一边吧

谢谢。那么下面这个呢？

GWD26-Q31

Which of the following most logically completes the argument??

When people engage in activities that help others ,their brain releases endorphins,

the brain’s natural opiates, which induce in people a feeling of well-being. It has

been suggested that regular release of endorphins increases people’s longevity.

And a statistic on adults who regularly engage in volunteer work helping others

shows that they live longer, on average, than adults who do not volunteer. How-

ever, that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not

boost longevity, because          .

A.     in the communities studied, women were much more likely to do regular

volunteer work than men were, and women tend to live longer than men do.

B.     the number of young adults who do regular volunteer work is on the increase

C.     the feelings of well-being induced by endorphins can, at least for a time, mask

the symptoms of various conditions and diseases, provided the symptoms are

mild.

D.     it is rare for a person to keep up a regular schedule of volunteer work through-

out his or her life.

E.      Some people find that keeping a commitment to do regular volunteer work

becomes a source of stress in their lives.

我选A，有问题么？

我觉得做GMAT逻辑题目有个很重要的问题就是自己不要往下推，看哪个和原文最相关。

原文说的是经济上升了，但是卖登山用品的人觉得他们利润不会上升为什么？

B说当经济好的时候那些本来去登山的现在都去国外度假了。说的很清楚了本来去登山的现在去国外度假了。到底度假登山不登山和我们无关。因为不是must be ture的。

C说的是当经济好转，会使得那些提供登山的公园，得到资金增加他们的设备。很明显这个选项没有B好！ 因为他需要加很多我们的假设：比如有资金了就可以造什么设备然后使得我们不用登山设备了！。。。反正要推得结论需要很多的假设，这就没有B好了。

所以B和C比起来B比较好！

路过甲123

我个人认为facilities是指类似于设施之类的东西，比如在公园里造一个假山给别人去爬，而不是登山穿的equipment（如登山鞋，铁铲等）……照这个逻辑，相当于登山的地点又多了一个，对equipment的购买数量不会产生影响
