Verbal RC: 1. Canada taxi industry 结构清楚,很好懂 第一段,1920以前加拿大的出租车行业管制很严格,相对都是社会经营商界名流等乘坐。普通老百姓是不坐的,太贵,(有题,是什么决定出租车那么奢侈,我选的是政府的对出租管制的严格。(以往机经选的是高端客户的expectation,请参考)出租车行业经常在hotel附近出没。,老板还有给hotel钱。(还提到很多百姓(多伦多,温哥华等)住在步行范围外。(时间长了,有些忘记具体内容,但确认是步行范围外) 第二段,20年代后期政府放宽了对出租车的管制,原来的车都要是用7 seat,后来就有了5 seats,刚好加拿大当时老百姓的real wage 上升了,所以大家觉得有能力偶尔坐坐出租车了(有题,问为什么老百姓开始坐出租了),所以整个行业就boom up 了。出租车老板也不用给hotel钱了,车就在离hotel有点小小距离的旁边路上等着,客人自己能找到在哪叫车(有题,问which one is ture. 偶选的是出租车有方法避免原来需要给hotel的钱)。 第三段,但是1950年后,好像什么人要求加强对出租车的管制,统一行业标准,伟大的政府又一次隆重登场,对每个车增加license fee。而且似乎是由于管理严格等,不可拒载;而这时出租要载客到很偏远的地方然后空车返回,又增加成本。 共四题,记得的题目有 1)细节题,which one is true 2)最后一段:这三段每段可以在前面加个什么小标题,我选stable-shake up-stable。 2. ROI 讲投资报酬率(returns on investment,ROI)的问题,文章短,结构清楚,容易看懂.但题目干扰选项比较不好分别。 现下的企业比较重视报酬率(ROI),以此作为主要的投资标准。其好处有blabla,说的不多。但话锋一转,就是仅仅注重于提高ROI容易使得公司过于重视在短期的表现,忽视技术和科研进步,尤其是那些在研发等起初高投入收益低,只有长期投入才会有很好收益的项目从而失去市场份额,所以提出应该以市场份额作为公司长期发展绩效的主要指标。其中提到了侧重长期发展的…(有题,must be ture) 题目 1) 主题题 2) 问ROI为主要考核标准的弊端 另两个问题忘记了。题目选项有干扰。 另两篇想不起来了 CR: 1.The violent crime rate (number of violent crimes per 1,000 residents) in Meadowbrook is 60 percent higher now than it was four years ago. The corresponding increase for Parkdale is only 10 percent. These figures support the conclusion that residents of Meadowbrook are more likely to become victims of violent crime than are residents of Parkdale. The argument above is flawed because it fails to take into account A.Changes in the population density of both Meadowbrook and Parkdale over the past four years. B.How the rate of population growth in Meadowbrook over the past four years compares to the corresponding rate for Parkdale C. The ratio of violent to nonviolent crimes committed during the past four years in Meadowbrook and Parkdale D. The violent crime rates in Meadowbrook and Parkdale four years ago E. How Meadowbrooks’ expenditures for crime prevention over the past four years compare to Parkdale’s expenditures.
2. 市长要把 riverfront 的一块地开发成residential area (housing, shopping area). 反对者说,这样会影响本市的码头装卸工业,会提高unemployment rate. 要weaken反对者。 我选:要被改造的这块riverfront 的地,现在是被用于marine base 的(和码头装卸工业无关) SC: 1) 46. (26975-!-item-!-188;#058&003041) The continental United States receives an average of 30 inches of precipitation a year; transpiration from soil and from plants returns approximately 21 of the 30 inches to the atmosphere, while the balance of 9 inches contributes to the flow of streams and rivers. (A) transpiration from soil and from plants returns approximately 21 of the 30 inches to the atmosphere, while the balance of 9 inches contributes to the flow (B) even though transpiration from soil and from plants returns approximately 21 of the 30 inches to the atmosphere, the remainder of 9 inches contribute to the flowing (C) although transpiration from soil and from plants return approximately 21 of the 30 inches to the atmosphere, the balance of 9 inches contribute to the flowing (D) with transpiration from soil and from plants to return approximately 21 inches to the atmosphere, the rest of the 9 inches contributes to the flow (E) as transpiration from soil and from plants return approximately 21 of the 30 inches to the atmosphere, the rest of the 9 inches contribute to the flow
2) Gas hydrates, chemical compounds of water and natural gas, are increasingly being studied for their potential to be huge reservoirs of energy, possibly causing sea floor instability, and significant contributors to global warming.to be huge A. reservoirs of energy, possibly causing sea floor instability, and B. to be huge reservoirs of energy, possibly causing sea floor instability, and even as C. as huge reservoirs of energy, possibly causing sea floor instability, and D. as huge reservoirs of energy, and the possible cause of sea floor instability, E. as huge reservoirs of energy, as possible causes of sea floor instability, and even as
