CR 

1. GWD-10-Q17:Boldface

 

Editorial:

An arrest made by a Midville police officer is provisional until the officer has taken the suspect to the police station and the watch commander has officially approved the arrest. Such approval is denied if the commander judges that the evidence on which the provisional arrest is based is insufficient. A government efficiency expert has found that almost all provisional arrests meet standards for adequacy of evidence that watch commanders enforce. The expert therefore recommends that the watch commander’s approval should no longer be required since the officers’ time spent obtaining approval is largely wasted. This recommendation should be rejected as dangerous, however, since there is no assurance that the watch commanders’ standards will continue to be observed once approval is no longer required.

 In the editorial, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

 A. The first is a recommendation made by the editorial; the second acknowledges a potential objection against that recommendation.

B. The first is a proposal against which the editorial is directed; the second is a judgment reached by the editorial concerning that proposal.

C. The first provides evidence in support of a recommendation that the editorial supports; the second is the conclusion reached by the editorial.

D. The first is a position that the editorial challenges; the second is a judgment that was made in support of that challenged position.

E. The first is a recommendation that the editorial questions; the second provides evidence against that recommendation.

原GWD答案为B.  这题考试中的黑体部分没有变，但是答案变了。我记得选的是A，A的表述方式我可以记起来的是大概如下
                            

The first is a position that the editorial seeks to oppose; The second is the position that the editorial seeks to establish.

 ２．说的是某个城市有一个居民或者是委员会之类的投票表决要不要继续投资去翻新或者upgrade他们的convention centre。然后说表决结果不通过继续这个翻新计划，因为作出这个决定肯定是这个委员会的voter们认为这个convention centre的设施什么的很完善了，所以不需要再花钱更新了。结论说所以政府撤出原来allocate给这个翻新项目的fund是appropriate的，是支持这个表决结果的。问削弱：我选的是即使表决计划通过这个翻新计划，政府也会抽出这个项目的资金。

 ３．说一个剧院要计划一个办法来attract 更多的audience到他们的剧院来看现代音乐剧（contemporary music）。然后某人说，提前作一个scheduled plan，就可以邀请到很多top musicians，有了top musicians，就可以增加很多人气，肯定会吸引很多观众。

问assumption：我选有顶级音乐师加盟的音乐会一定会比那些没有那些没有这些音乐师加盟的一般(regular)的音乐会吸引更多的观众来看。
                            

 ４．说有人研究美国的制造业的用水情况。举了两个数据，一个是１９８５年的制造业用水量，一个是比１９８０年的用水量，８５年比８０年低很多。然后就有人下结论，说８５年的水量节约了这么多，这完全归功于８１年已经的一个new technology for water conservation。问的是支持：我选在这五年以来，美国制造业产品的产品总产量had little or no change。有一个迷惑选项是：很多制造业公司在８１年以前也试用过其它的节水科技

 ５．说教育的，这题和以前的一个MM说的一样，但是问的是削弱，奇怪，后来那个MM说问的是支持。可是我选的答案和她一样。这里引用MM的机经。＜＜还有一题说现在大学学费涨的厉害，比通货膨胀大多了，而且物价也没涨这么厉害。给出的理由是industry里面由于efficiency的提高，普通商品的cost并没有上涨很多。但是教育这个东西没办法像industry一样提高efficiency，因为会影响教学质量。＞＞我选的答案是：Expense, including 什么什么salaries of teachers 在这几年内并没有什么改变．然后有其他的迷惑选项：比如A，说有一个教学质量很高的学校，师生比率很高，怎么怎么的．

 ６．也是之前的机经，我来完善一下题目和选项．这里引用＜＜有一个CR说公司一种管理人员不够了，目前公司购资格的员工不足空缺职位的一半，公司又不从外面请，而且不减少部门数，而且一个人不当2个部门的领导，问公司必然有些部门会少管理领导因为什么? ＞＞是结论补充题，我选的是没有上层领导(senior manager) 调下来当这种领导(head of departments).．有其他迷惑选项，比如promote more than one employee in one department to become the heads of department

 7. 有一个省份A提高了烟草税，经过一段时期后，和其他邻近省份比较per capita consumption of cigarette，然后发现省份A的per capita consumption of cigarette下降了２０％，然后结论说，这个成绩肯定是因为提高烟草税带来的。答案问支持。我选：在这段时期内，这个省份没有implement除了涨税这个措施外其他邻近省份没有采纳的其他措施。有一个迷惑选项：说省份A当时涨烟草税的时候，卖香烟的小贩之类的没有把香烟的价格降超过２０％。大家自己斟酌。

８．９．１０
                            以下原题GWD三道：三天特效药那道（T-3-Q13.），房地产价值下降那道（GWD-29-Q17），骨病毒那道（GWD-18-Q30），前面战友都提到过。这里就不贴出原题了。

 好像还有一两道evaluation题，实在想不起来了

阅读

 

 

这次死在了阅读上。整一个郁闷。估计我那些迷惑题我都没有选好，所以大家慎重看我的机经。

 

 

 

 

第一篇：服务行业企业外包的利弊　我总结的零散机经。这题阅读本身不难。但是题有点刁。

第二篇：简爱　（有几道答案补充）

第三篇：GWD拉丁美洲女人　（有两道题新题）

第四篇：１７世纪妇女地位　　（应该可以确定之前一道新题的答案）

 

 

 

 

第一篇：企业外包的利弊　

共两段

第一段大概说outsoucing的概念，然后说outsourcing这个practice在有形产品(physical product)工业已经很成熟之类的，但是在service 的行业还是有很大前景的，而且越来越多的公司也开始做service outsourcing了。

 

 

第二段先说了service outsourcing的特色feature。然后举了intellectual service的outsourcing。说这类的outsourcing,　客户通常来说很难通过下订单(place order)来描述(specify)要买什么样的服务产品（暗指service product知识含量高，不专门搞这个还真不懂呢，有考题）。介绍完特色以后，然后说了一大堆弊端，比如service outsourcing出去可能会有泄漏企业关键信息之类的risk。但是最后，作者话锋一转，说如果企业仔细考量计划outsourcing strategy的话，就可以lower and minimize 所有的这些risk，证明了作者对待这个practice支持态度。

 

 

题１：作者会同意下面哪个选项，我选的是although service outsourcing 有很多的弊端，但是它的优点outweigh all the risks. 但是这题还有另一个选项很迷惑，想不起来了

题２：细节题，说问中为什么客户无法specify 他们要的service product：选因为客户没有这方面的expertise

题３：好像是作者态度题，选作者支持outsourcing

 

 

 

 

第二篇：简爱

原来的机经很详细，这里就不补充了，但是我觉题还是很刁的。也许当时心态急，看到机经就很快看文章，没有看仔细，结果其实这篇并不长的文章花了好久时间。所以大家注意阿

 

 

补充题１：文章说某小说影响大有4个原因EXCEPT下面哪种原因

选项有A) Price B) availability C) …. D) Value as clue for unsolved puzzle E) literature referent

我当时只看了第一段，　觉得好像没有说到D，直接就选了。结果后来看D其实在第二段提到了，因为读者把这本书当作像谜一样感兴趣得追捧。所以应该选E

 

 

题２：举Amilia （另外一个作家，写了一本和简爱相关的书）这个例子是为什么：为了说明简爱这本书有什么persistent popularity这类的影响把

 

 

题３：原小说为什么用subtitle-？说明了什么：这题有困扰选项

有一个选项说　most likely account for factual life of the author 之类的

还有的说什么 one of the  reasons that readers believe the life of 简爱主人公和作者的生活轨迹是一样的，忘了选什么了。。想了半天也排除不掉

好像还有一个选项说是出版商人为的加入这个，为了吸引读者群

 

 

第三篇：拉丁美洲的女人

我一看阅读就乐了，可是一看第一题，就闷了，是新题，问从文中可以看出social science theorists会同意哪个观点：

而且有两个选项看了半天都排除不掉。这两个选项大概是说

１）Urban migration can help latin women to increase their status

２）迁移到城市的Latin women的status higher than the men at the same class

我觉得两个都对阿，结果就选了2。大家自己斟酌

 

 

还有一题是前人提到的新题，问到作者对于有人宣称这些拉美妇女并没有好好利用城市资源的这个说法的态度会是怎么样的

但是有合适的答案可以选。选项大概是这样的

１）full disagreement

２）offer cautious dissent given special cases studied

３）tentative support under certain circumstantial evidences

４）fully concurred

 

 

我选的是2) ，dissent 有反对的这个观点的意思（从末段最后一句话，despite their

intelligent and energetic utili-zation of the resources available to them.可以看出作者还是很欣赏这些女妇女的利用资源的能力的），但是cautious 表明了谨慎反对，因为这篇文章只做了一些case上的研究，所以过于武断的结论不对。2)是两全其美。

 

 

另两题和
   GWD原来一样。

 

 

 

 

第四篇：１７世纪妇女地位　　

 

 

竟然考到了这篇，考前贴贴子问的那争议题，就考了。命啊
   。我还是坚持我的看法，选了B。大家自己斟酌把。

 

 

Q27

The passage suggests that which of the following best compares the economic concerns of women with those of men toward the close of the eighteenth Century in colonial Connecticut?

(A)               Both men and women had more economic responsibilities at the end of the century than they had had at the beginning of the century.

(B)                Women’s economic activities had become less varied by the end of the century; men’s economic activities had become more varied.

(C)                Women’s economic activities at the end of the century were similar to their activities at the beginning; men’s economic activities changed considerably.

(D)                Women’s economic concerns at the end of the century were primarily familial; men’s economic concerns were primarily political.

(E)                 Women’s economic concerns at the end of the century were primarily personal; men’s economic needs were primarily familial.

SC

 

这次感觉SC比较友善，很像Prep。所以大家不用过于担心。下面是我回忆起来的，我感觉这次SC做的还可以。主要死在阅读上了，嘿嘿，大家想不到吧。不过SC的回忆比较零散，怕误导大家，凑和着看。

 

１．原题

 

GWD11-28
                

In an effort to reduce the number of fires started by cigarettes, a major tobacco company is test-marketing a cigarette in which thin layers of extra paper are used to decrease the amount of oxygen entering the cigarette, thereby slowing the rate at which it burns and lowering the heat it generates.

 

1. in which thin layers of extra paper are used to decrease the amount of oxygen entering the cigarette, thereby slowing

2. in which they use thin layers of extra paper in decreasing the amount of oxygen entering the cigarette, which slows

3. that uses thin layers of extra paper to decrease the amount of oxygen when it enters the cigarette, thereby slowing

4. for which thin layers of extra paper are used to decrease the amount of oxygen that enters the cigarette, and thereby slowing

5. using thin layers of extra paper in decreasing the amount of oxygen entering the cigarette, which slows

 

下面划线红色是我选的答案

 

２．　A Scientific tour 什么什么，然后跟一个人的名字D ****’s 什么的展廊会这类的took us around……..  the museum 这类的。。。　这题一看到A Scientific tour，就一直在abcde中找名词类的同位语，死活找不到。Abc都是由D这个人的名字看头的，看来看去，就选了个E

 

３．Once the government of United States and Mali 通过一个什么合作协议(好像是联手控制贩卖什么东西的协议)，the open market of 某种商品（或者是走私倒卖的一类东西）immediately ceased.

选项有，

its open market,

therefore its open market

the open market

我就选了the open market, 因为its找不到指代，once.. therefore也不对

 

４．　Given *******　and ********* （这里大概讲的是金融业市场的某种情况拉），paradigm on which many banks settled has come to involve, at its core, risk management. 

其他选项有

On which many banks settled has come to involve, at their

Of which many banks settled has come to involve, at its

Many banks have settled has come to involve, at its

 

看来半天，也看不出来这个core该属于paradigm还是属于many banks的，就选了个A。这题耗了我４分钟，当时时间太多了。

 

５．After training, volunteers of 某某公司A are dispatched to …., …, and …., where they work as ……..

其他选项都比较好排除，因为这个after training直接modify了后面这半句的主语，其他的选项都是什么公司A起头的，或者volunteers’…… 所有格的。

 

６．Customer bills of  …………….（好像是经过连续几个月的增长），surprisingly cut back their shopping, in April posting a decline in the first month of ….. since the Christmas season started

大意是：顾客消费在经历过自圣诞节假期以来的连续几个月的增长，在四月份突然令人吃惊的出现了第一个月的回落。

这题有点迷惑，大家看看意思就好了算了。

 

７．Houston, f****ed  with 什么高楼大厦，公路阿这类的基建， has long worn ……….这题很确定是选这个形式的答案。其他的都很离谱。

 

８．＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊，the general recommended that those who ……. be licensed and law prohibiting the sales to be enacted.
                    

这题也很有把握，其他的大部分要么没有用省略should的虚拟语态，要么就是一般用law那边没有用。注意law prohibiting这一块，刚开始我还以为是prohibit… to do sth，因为这个形式是错误的，仔细一看原来是prohibit the sales to…….所以还是算prohibit sth，应该是对的。

 

 

９．我的语文最后一题，好难，好长，用了三个破折号，用１０分钟看了半天，还是看不出大概的一个意思。然后用排除法选了一个比较像答案的。大概是说某某人在花园里种什么园艺之类的东西。。　划线的答案好像是, becoming ……. as
                the owner work hard for…，我选用becoming 这个状态作为伴随结果的状语。
