The spacing of the four holes on a fragment of a bone flute excavated at a Neanderthal campsite is just what is required to play the third through sixth notes of the diatonic scale-the seven-note musical scale used in much of Western music since the Renaissance. Musicologists therefore hypothesize that the diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis?

正确答案: E

GWD答案: A

问题: “grow to be” sound strange, also “as big as” is not selected, is it because there is no comparison?

 

 

GWD1-Q17:

The spacing of the four holes on a fragment of a bone flute excavated at a Neanderthal campsite is just what is required to play the third through sixth notes of the diatonic scale—the seven-note musical scale used in much of Western music since the Renaissance.  Musicologists therefore hypothesize that the diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis?

 

A.      Bone flutes were probably the only musical instrument made by Neanderthals.

B.      No musical instrument that is known to have used a diatomic scale is of an earlier date than the flute found at the Neanderthal campsite.

C.      The flute was made from a cave-bear bone and the campsite at which the flute fragment was excavated was in a cave that also contained skeletal remains of cave bears.

D.      Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale.

E.       The cave-bear leg bone used to make the Neanderthal flute would have been long enough to make a flute capable of playing a complete diatonic scale.

我的答案: B

GWD答案: E

问题: E不是会weaken the answer? If the bone is long enough to make a complete scale but they did not do so, does it mean they do not have a diatonic scale?

我试着给出我的一些看法吧. 要是有什么说的不对, 就请NN们指点指点...

首先,第一题.我新东方老师-黄卓明老师在课堂上有分析过,他给的答案是E.他的解释和你一样,it指代the market,所以选E.当时,课堂上反而有同学认为 to 10% from 6% 不符合表达习惯.但老师指出GMAT的语法允许这样,只要句子意思清楚就行.所以,老师强调靠语感解题并不是万能的.

第2题 首先是这样的,根据黄卓明老师的传授,GMAT中所有引导从句的that都不能省,因此D,E排除.(以下是我的看法)A,pay作为动词,扭曲了原文的意思.B,C PK,B,the rate只能被比较,所以用主动语态是错的.C的意思是CEO现在赚的钱是蓝领工人工资的419倍,这个比例是1980年两者比例的42倍.在回看E,只看句子主干:now earning an average (即平均工资)compared to the rate of 1980年,工资是钱,钱只能和钱比较,不能和利率比较.属逻辑结构错误-新东方老师的总结.

第三题,同样是考到句子逻辑结构错误.首先,按照黄卓明老师的传授,which出现在句子逗号的后面,作为引导定语从句的引导词,其修饰与之最近的名词.而Ving形式以同一作用出现的时候,指代的是前面说过的整件事情,一般Ving是要引导那件事所带来的影响或后果.由于,后面的修饰成分的对象是whale,所以用which,B,C错.(以下是我的看法)接下来是看逻辑意思了.指whale一般生长到30尺长,big可以形容物体的巨大,但是指的是体积,因此应该用long来形容.并且as big as 30尺long,本身意思表达就不对,有30尺长那么大,想说明什么?最后E,A和E之间的区别就多了个it,明显and前后内容的主语都是whale,当然省it,结构更简洁(此为GMAT另一语法要求).

最后一题,我的逻辑不是太好,题目意思也不是完全看的明白,所以也翻译不出原文意思.但是从第2句的required(必须的),3th,6th,7th以及题目的结论,可知是讲diatonic musical scale比西方使用的scale更早.题目的论据是与两者使用的时间的先后有关,于是要找support就要找那些和时间搭得上关系的选项,那么只有B和E.此时,关注结论.(新东方的老师说,如果在没有什么头绪的时候,做削弱/支持/假设题的时候,反复关注结论)题目说的是diatonic musical scale was developed and used 比西方早,强调发展和使用的时间先后问题,B说的是instrument出现的时间先后,与原文支持的方向无关.因此选E.E有几个单词和原文比较重要的单词对应,一个是used和原文结论used对应,long enough和原文结论before对应,to make sth complete和原文中的required对应.

我个人在做逻辑的时候,有一个不知道对不对的思考方向,就是找和原文结论或前提(做推导题时用)尽量多的同义替换.当然,有些题不是这样出的,那时就只能硬着头皮读懂原文了.
