Question 1-2 are based on the following

Professor A: We must make a strong moral statement against Country X's policies. Only total divestment-the sale of all stock in companies that have factories or business offices in X-can do this. Therefore, the university should divest totally.

Professor B: Our aim should be to encourage X to change its policies. Partial divestment is the best way to achieve this aim. Therefore, the university should sell its stock only in companies that either sell goods to X's government , or do the majority of their business in X, or treat their workers in X unfairly.

1. Professor A's and Professor B's arguments differ in which of the following ways?

A. They state the same goal but propose different ways of achieving it.

B. They state different goals but propose the same way of achieving them.

C. They state different goals and propose different ways of achieving them.

D. They disagree about whether the university should sell any stock at all.

E. They disagree about whether X's policies are objectionable.

选C

2. Which of the following, if true, would be evidence that university would not be harmed economically if it followed Professor A's recommendation.

A. Very few of the companies in which the university owns stocks sell goods to X's government.

B. Most companies that have factories or business offices in X and in which the university owns stock actually do little of their business in X.

C. Some companies that have factories or business offices in X and in which the university owns stock have instituted fair treatment policies for their workers in X at very little additional cost to the companies.

D. The expected financial return to the university from stocks that the university could own under a policy of total divestment is approximately the same as  the expected financial return from the same as the expected financial.

E. If the university sold large blocks of stock under a policy of total divestment, the prices of the stocks of the companies whose stocks were sold would probably decrease somewhat.

选D

这一大题不是很能看得懂在讲什么？请帮忙解释一下！谢谢！

3.In an effort to go beyond resumes as tools in its search for executives, one leading company has resorted to interviewing the top candidates for a position all together in a single group. This technique is supposed to afford a direct comparison of the candidates with respect to some personal qualities that cannot be gleaned from a resume.

Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubt on the value of the simultaneous interview technique?

A. Resumes do sometimes allow reliable inferences to be made about a candidate's personal qualities.

B. The simultaneous interview could become cumbersome if there were a great many candidates for a position.

C. The more perceptive the interviewer, the more revealing the simultaneous interview is apt to be.

D. There are certain personal qualities that only an extended simultaneous interview can bring out.

E. The simultaneous interview distorts each candidate's response style by inducing stresses unlike any any executive position induces.

为什么D错呢？

The association's officers would like to ensure constant standerds of quality in the presentations from year to year. The officers have therfore decided to accept for presentation each year only the best 300 papers selected on the basis of the quality of the proposals submitted.

Of the following, the best criticism of the officers' plan is that the plan assumes that

A. professional associations cannot accept all papers submitted for presentation at their annual meetings

B. The total number of proposals submitted to the association will remain at approximately 1,000 in future years.

首先说明以下好像这几道题出的不是太好，没有gmat一贯的逻辑思维在里面，但是作为题目我们还是可以作：

    

第一题：a教授说我们必须从道义上反对x（goal），卖光我们所有在x的公司的股份（stratege）。B教授说，其实我们只是需要使得x改变他的政策（goal），部分的卖掉我们的股份（stratege）（这些股份各种限定条件，什么大部分业务在x，x的员工受到不平等对待等）。所以goal和方法都不同拉。

    

第二题：问如果依照a教授的说法，大学怎样才不会受到经济上的损失：d说如果大学从卖股份中所获得的收益和期望（也就是不卖）收益一样的话。当然选他拉。

    

第三题：为了尽量不用简历来作为筛选经理的工具，公司开始借助于把这些顶尖的候选者放在同一组进行面试，这种方法据说可以直接比较出候选者的某些人格特性，而这些是简历所不能收集到的。

    

问题是削弱面试的价值：

    

D. 有一些人格特征仅仅通过扩展的面试才能测试出来。（也可能这些特征不重要啦，况且扩展的面试也属于面试啦）

    

E.面试导致的压力扭曲了每个候选者的反应方式，而这和经理这个职位引起的压力是不一样的。当然选e了。

    

 

    

第四题：这个协会要保持质量每年都一致，但他又说每年接受300个最好的文章，那么他肯定不正当的假设了接受的这300篇质量每年都一样好。

    

D：很难根据proposal评价文章的质量，文章没有说不可以啊，是你推的吧。呵呵。又或者他每年选取的文章的标准都是根据proposal，所以文章的质量每年应该没有变化啊。

    

E. 这300篇每年都同样好，显然不对。我觉得我们在读文章时要进行critical thinking的，就能很快的选出答案，也不被有些选项所迷惑4.

我觉得第四题的问题主要是，the plan assumes that，就是说这个计划是建立在某个假设上的，那么D选项显然不是那个假设，D选项的相反项才应该是那个假设。
