有人在做“GMAT&LSAT CR.”一起做吧。
我现在刚做了GMAT的testA&B，统一一下进度，一起做吧，可以互相讨论，更重要的是可以互相监督。

番茄炒蛋

呵呵，这怎么统一的了呢，你就拼了命的做吧
越快越好咯

craghack

我也想开始做了 ，你一天做多少？如果差距不大，我可以和你同步进行。因为我看有的题目好像没有统一的解释，讨论一下会加深理解。我也需要监督！

superkun

我在开始做那上面的lsat，估计每天一套的样子

一般一天2套题。
不过昨天做了一套，因为又做了15题的费费逻辑（就是那个共135题的）。
目前做到TEST D. 你呢？

因为我12.30日考试，所以LAST目前不打算做，专攻GMAT的CR。

superkun

好的，加油，有什么问题就贴出来大家讨论吧

我已经做完testA-D 和test1，先提几个问题
Test C16,
    In 1986, the city of Los Diablos had 20 days on which air pollution reached unhealthful amounts and a smog alert was put into effect. In early 1987, new air pollution control measures were enacted, but the city had smog alerts on 31 days that year and on 39 days the following year. In 1989, however, the number of smog alerts in Los Diablos dropped to sixteen. The main air pollutants in Los Diablos are ozone and carbon monoxide, and since 1986 the levels of both have been monitored by gas spectrography.
Which of the following statements, assuming that each is true, would be LEAST helpful in explaining the air pollution levels in Los Diablos between 1986 and 1989?
(A) The 1987 air pollution control measures enacted in Los Diablos were put into effect in November of 1988.
(B) In December of 1988 a new and far more accurate gas spectrometer was invented.
(C) In February of 1989, the Pollution Control Board of Los Diablos revised the scale used to determine the amount of air pollution considered unhealthful.
(D) In 1988 the mayor of Los Diablos was found to have accepted large campaign donations from local industries and to have exempted those same industries from air pollution control measures.
(E) Excess ozone and carbon monoxide require a minimum of two years to break down naturally in the atmosphere above a given area.
答案为B。我觉得应该是D。主要是从时间上考虑。
B中1998.12月有了一种更准确的spectrometer，说明以前的仪器测出的数据不准确，所以才会有97,98年数据高，而99年数据低的结果。不过这个选项有个缺陷：invented，如果改成“使用”会更好。
D的时间为1988年，亦即可能在年初也可能在年末，如果在年初的话，很可能这些local industries会被勒令立即进行pollution control，从而在1988年当年就减少了alert的天数。所以二者相较，我更倾向于B.

Test D 5,
Although its purpose is laudable, the exclusionary rule, which forbids a court to consider evidence seized in violation of the defendant’s constitutional rights, has unduly hampered law-enforcement efforts. Even when the rights violation was a minor or purely technical one, turning on a detail of procedure rather than on the abrogation of some fundamental liberty, and even when it has been clear that the police officers were acting in good faith, the evidence obtained has been considered tainted under this rule and may not even by introduced. In consequence, defendants who were undoubtedly guilty have been set free, perhaps to steal, rape, or murder again.
5.    The author of the passage above assumes all of the following EXCEPT:
(A) The constitutional rights of criminal defendants should be protected.
(B) Most cases in which the exclusionary rule has been invoked have involved purely technical violations of constitutional principles.
(C) The number of cases whose outcome has been affected by the exclusionary rule is significant.
(D) Some of the defendants set free under the exclusionary rule have been guilty of serious criminal offenses.
(E) Merely technical violations of the rules concerning evidence should be treated differently from deliberate assaults upon human rights.
答案B.当时在B，C之间犹豫了很久。觉得两个都不是assumption。现在仍不知道如何可以看出暗示了number is significant？当然相比较，B更不对一些。
Test 1
18.    Critics of sales seminars run by outside consultants point out that since 1987, revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees attended consultant-led seminars were lower than revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees did not attend such seminars. The critics charge that for vacuum cleaner companies, the sales seminars are ill conceived and a waste of money.
Which of the following, if true, is the most effective challenge to the critics of sales seminars?
(A) Those vacuum cleaner companies whose sales were highest prior to 1987 are the only companies that did not send employees to the seminars.
(B) Vacuum cleaner companies that have sent employees to sales seminars since 1987 experienced a greater drop in sales than they had prior to 1987.
(C) The cost of vacuum cleaner sales seminars run by outside consultants has risen dramatically since 1987.
(D) The poor design of vacuum cleaner sales seminars is not the only reason for their ineffectiveness.
(E) Since 1987, sales of vacuum cleaners have risen twenty percent.
没有看懂逻辑关系。
题干结论是semiars是没有用处的“for vacuum cleaner companies, the sales seminars are ill conceived and a waste of money.”
理由 ：87年后派职员参加semiar的公司的sales少于职员没有参加seminar的公司“since 1987, revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees attended consultant-led seminars were lower than revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees did not attend such seminars.”
答案是A，但是
1), prior to 1987的evidence对这个argument好像不相关；
2), 即使相关，我怎么觉得是support呢：87年前sales高的公司没有send employees to the seminars，说明参加semiar对销售没有帮助，刚好与critics的观点一致呀？
所以我选了D。

我做过沸沸135里的70道题左右，新东方的补充材料看了一遍，印象不深了。我从明天开始做，一天大概2套左右，以后在这讨论吧，不过我得逻辑需要提升的高度很大，不要笑我就好。
Test 1 18. 我有印象，我当时也是选的d，
但是现在想想d：the poor design of vacuum cleaner sales seminars is not the only reason for their ineffectiveness 它的含义就是承认sales seminars 是ineffectiveness，与critics的结论the sales seminars are ill conceived and a waste of money.是一致的。所以d不对。

a我是这样想的，如果1987年之前除了sales最高的公司，其他的公司都参加seminiars，也就是说本来从1987年参加seminiars的公司的sales就比不参加seminiars的公司低，因此他的比较since 1987, revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees attended consultant-led seminars were lower than revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees did not attend such seminars.是没有根据的。

不知道想的对不对，请xdjm指教！

其他的题还没有做，生词一大堆，等我弄懂题意先！

谢谢craghack，明白了。要把选项A暗含的意思理解出来。多谢，让我多了一个思路。：）
