Over the last five years, demand for hotel rooms in Cenopolis has increased significantly, as has the average price Cenopolis hotels charge for rooms.  These trends are projected to continue for the next several years.  In response to this economic forecast, Centennial Commercial, a real estate developer, is considering a plan to convert several unoccupied office buildings it owns in Cenopolis into hotels in order to maximize its revenues from these properties.

 

 

Which of the following would it be most useful for Centennial Commercial to know in evaluating the plan it is considering?

 

 

(A) Whether the population of Cenopolis is expected to grow in the next several years

(B) Whether demand for office space in Cenopolis is projected to increase in the near future

(C) Whether the increased demand for hotel rooms, if met, is likely to lead to an increase in the demand for other travel-related services

(D) Whether demand for hotel rooms has also increased in other cities where Centennial owns office buildings

(E) Whether, on average, hotels that have been created by converting office buildings have fewer guest rooms than do hotels that were built as hotels

为甚么是B  啊

Treatment for hypertension forestalls certain medical expenses by preventing strokes and heart disease.  Yet any money so saved amounts to only one-fourth of the expenditures required to treat the hypertensive population.  Therefore, there is no economic justification for preventive treatment for hypertension.

 

Which of the following, if true, is most damaging to the conclusion above?

 

(A) The many fatal strokes and heart attacks resulting from untreated hypertension cause insignificant medical expenditures but large economic losses of other sorts.

(B) The cost, per patient, of preventive treatment for hypertension would remain constant even if such treatment were instituted on a large scale.

(C) In matters of health care, economic considerations should ideally not be dominant.

(D) Effective prevention presupposes early diagnosis, and programs to ensure early diagnosis are costly.

(E) The net savings in medical resources achieved by some preventive health measures are smaller than the net losses attributable to certain other measures of this kind.

这个为甚么是啊A 啊

看了很久65题才终于明白A的意思。翻来覆去其他选项都不对。

只能选A

cause insignificant  medical expenditures but large economic losses of other sorts.我想了很久，才理解。再次证明其实逻辑考的是阅读理解。

insignificant  medical expenditures 是否定意义，故but后是肯定意义。

就是“....导致的不是医疗上的重大开支，而是其他方面的经济损失”。

刚看过了evaluation的题型，有了点感觉，再看33。

CC(Centennial Commercial, a real estate developer)有OB(office buildings)，而HR(hotel rooms )有利可图，CC为了赚钱，想把OB改成HR。问你CC需要考虑什么。

自然是OB是否也赚钱嘛！如果OB也赚钱，干吗要改啊。

开发商要考虑两方面，一是文中提到了旅馆是否增值，二是办公室是否增值。

如果要削弱文章观点，必须说明不能积极治疗高血压对经济会造成巨大损失。
