快要考了攒rp 基于前人的整理我提炼了一下，方便看哈。

Highlight成黄色部分的是个人觉得比较reasonable的答案，因为本人水平有限，大家批判的看吧。另外，第58和74应该都是gwd原题，等我找到了再补一下。

如有遗漏和错误，请大家指正。

汗，这格式贴出来怎么这么难看。。。

1.小男孩总犯错
他妈揍他，也不改，后来他妈不打了，改道说教，小男孩还是没改，所以他妈conclude说教没用
(小孩用讲理的方式教仍然不乖, 推估讲理的教法不如打骂)
如果下面那个在3个月内发生，weaken结论我选的
        小男孩犯错少了
        （大概意思）

2.婴儿死亡率
是卫生水平鉴定的重要标准，一个很牛逼的医院，婴儿死亡率很高，问如何解释
答案选
        早产婴儿死亡率格外高，而有早产可能性的孕妇都去了那个牛逼医院

3.urban legend
            

总是很骇人听闻，因为要变成传说，就要抓住听众的神经，说他们感兴趣的事
问下面那一个被support了
我选的A  legend总是能让人惊醒，even 有时候legends怎么怎么的，这个词我还不认识就敢选。。。我把这个词当“错误’理解了
B是
        有些legend因为没能抓住听众的神经所以没能流传 （我觉得应该是b 用逆否命题加强
        原题：流传->加强神经
        选项：不能加强神经->不流传）

归纳题。原文大意是说urban legend之所以广为流传，被城市人接受，是因为legend真实反映了他们的感想。

4. 猎人喜欢打猎打elk(麋鹿）
特别喜欢活蹦乱跳的。所以他们反对引入狼，一种捕杀elk的动物
        问哪个weaken (which of following if ture the opposition of the hunters is ill founded?)

        狼就吃老弱病残的
        让活的更生龙活虎。

5.有个餐厅在扩展
在之前他们进货的时候70%都从一个什么供应商，因为供货上门。好像这个餐厅还上市了。然后有人建议说要卖股票，因为这个餐厅赖以生存的优势不复存在了。问增强结论
我选的是：
        由于扩展使得这个餐厅的各个分店产生了竞争。

某餐厅是家连锁店，但是各自的分店的店主是独立的关系，所以他们能够自己选择进货渠道，所以这个餐厅很profitable。然后这个餐厅上市了并开始扩张。然后投资专家建议说要卖掉它的股票，因为这个餐厅赖以生存的优势不复存在了。问增强结论
我选的是C由于规模的扩大使得这个餐厅必须集中采购和配送。E选项是由于扩张而导致各个分店产生了竞争。

一个药店以前很受欢迎经营的好,因为他专门针对local的消费者,现在做大了,上市以后股票价格也比IPO价格高很多。但是投资者突然把手里股票都卖了,因为觉得要贬值.问为什么投资者这么做是对的.选了E,开店多了以后在local有自身的竞争.

6.销售税率降低但是缴的税并无减少, 推估因为销售额增加.

GWD-13-Q27
Which if the following, if true, most logically completes the argument?

Aroca
                County’s public schools are supported primarily by taxes on property.  The county plans to eliminate the property tax and support schools with a new three percent sales tax on all retail items sold in the county.  Three percent of current retail sales is less than the amount collected through property taxes, but implementation of the plan would not necessarily reduce the amount of money going to Aroca County public schools, because ______.

A. many Aroca County residents have already left the county because of its high property taxes
B. a shopping mall likely to draw shoppers from neighboring counties is about to open in Aroca County
C. at least some Aroca County parents are likely to use the money they will save on property taxes to send their children to private schools not funded by the county

7.海龟产卵, 数量一样多, 推估没被污染影响.

32. GWD30-Q32:

A major chemical spill occurred five years ago at Baker’s Beach, the world’s sole nesting ground for Merrick sea turtles, and prevented nearly all the eggs laid that year from hatching.  Yet the number of adult female Merricks returning to lay their eggs at Baker’s Beach has actually increased somewhat since five years ago.  Clearly, environmentalists’ prediction that the world’s Merrick population would decline as a result of the spill has proven unfounded.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument offered in refutation of the environmentalists’ prediction?

 A.      The chemical spill five years ago occurred at a time when there were neither Merrick sea turtles nor Merrick sea turtle eggs on Baker’s Beach.

B.      Female Merrick sea turtles begin returning to Baker’s Beach to lay their eggs when they are ten years old.

C.      Under normal conditions, only a small proportion of hatchling female Merrick sea turtles survive in the ocean until adulthood and return to lay their eggs at Baker’s Beach.

D.      Environmental pressures unrelated to the chemical spill have caused a significant decline in the population of one of the several species of sea birds that prey on Merrick sea turtle eggs.

E.       After the chemical spill, an environmental group rejected a proposal to increase the Merrick sea turtle population by transferring eggs from Baker’s Beach to nearby beaches that had not been affected by the spill.

8.一种动物易被人类猎杀, 列为保育动物, 却仍开放狩猎季, 原因?

某种动物个子很大皮又厚所以没什么天敌，但是它们傻傻的很容易被猎杀，其中的一个分支已经危险了。但是环境局决定要开放hunting season，问为什么。选一个说
        其实这个家伙现在over-populated。

9.工作机会增加, 新的工作皆由当地人担任, 为何当地就业率不增加？

Springfield的surburb地区的工作机会增加了，但是人口并没有增加，可是就业率在这几年也不见上升，问concile discepancy
我选的是由于Springfield的downtown地区的个税上升了导致原来很多在downtown工作的surburb人回到了surburb工作。

10.专精某物的公司今天要制造另一种商品, 该商品竞争者为知名品牌, 该公司最想知道的资讯为?

11.环保局的政策与人民喜好的不一致, 是否该全部听从人民的意见？

12.
            GWD-17-Q11
Some species of Arctic birds are threatened by recent sharp increases in the population of snow geese, which breed in the Arctic and are displacing birds of less vigorous species.  Although snow geese are a popular quarry for hunters in the southern regions where they winter, the hunting season ends if and when hunting has reduced the population by five percent, according to official estimates.  Clearly, dropping this restriction would allow the other species to recover.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument?

A. Hunting limits for snow geese were imposed many years ago in response to a sharp decline in the population of snow geese.
B. It has been many years since the restriction led to the hunting season for snow geese being closed earlier than the scheduled date.
C. The number of snow geese taken by hunters each year has grown every year for several years.
D. As their population has increased, snow geese have recolonized wintering grounds that they had not used for several seasons.
E. In the snow goose’s winter habitats, the goose faces no significant natural predation.

13.转基因玉米
研究表明转基因的玉米会将一些特性转移到附近的野草上，后来出于这个原因，就把种植的转基因玉米去除了。两年后，在该地区的野草里没有发现任何来自这种转基因玉米的影响。
问哪种解释可以解释这个问题（我选的是被转基因影响的草比较难存活）

14.高糖高脂食物
医生认为，一个学校大部分学生的健康问题xx，而产生xx是因为他们吃太多高脂肪高糖的东西。于是学校决定，停止在学校的自动售货机（vending machine）里贩卖高糖分高脂的食物。为哪种情况会undermine校方的决定

vending machine 校长为改善同学吃高热量食物太多的情况觉得减少自动售货机
            问undermine
        ；我选的是大家一般都去cafe吃很多甜食

15. T-9-Q28.
        天山-7-13

Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium transmitted to humans by deer ticks. Generally deer ticks pick up the bacterium while in the larval stage from feeding on infected white-footed mice. However, certain other species on which the larvae feed do not harbor the bacterium. Therefore, if the population of these other species were increased, the number of ticks acquiring the bacterium and hence the number of people contracting Lyme disease would likely decline.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

 

A.      Ticks do not suffer any adverse consequences from carrying the bacterium that causes Lyme disease in humans.

B.       There are no known cases of a human’s contracting Lyme disease through contact with white-footed mice.

C.      A deer tick feeds only once while in the larval stage.

D.      A single host animal can be the source of bacterium for many tick larvae.

E.       None of the other species on which deer tick larvae feed harbor other bacteria that ticks transmit to humans

17. 前十道的结论题，说英国政府以前给报界定很高的税，是因为不想太多过激言论什么的广为流传，后来报纸越来越多，要竞争才能生存，所以就需要广告，而报纸为了吸引广告商，也就倾向于限制刊登过激言论了，因为怕把读者吓着，导致广告上不上门。

结论就是其实从某种角度说，广告也能起到政府之前限制过激言论的政策的作用。

 

18.很多人说咖啡因摄入多了不会导致失眠，其实不对，调查表示，很多喝咖啡的人都失眠。问题是题目的假设，我选的是题目假设说，容易失眠的人不会靠喝更多咖啡来怎么样……我选的失眠的人往往靠咖啡因来打起精神

V2 说只有有特别innovation的发明才能被认定为专利。然后说patent office的人在很多领域都不是专家，因此作者断言有很多没什么创新的发明都被认定为专利了。问assumption。我选的是专利的最终认定就是靠那些在patent office里面的人。

21.               A地受发电厂的煤炭烟尘污染,政府准备推行B项目从而减少空调使用从而节约电力.问加强.

说一个地区的呼吸道疾病特别多，然后是因为这里的煤矿业。然后说煤矿业主要是用来产电。然后就呼吁说挖井取水，在所有建筑物外面建一个喷水降温的系统（又是胡扯），这样就可以减少呼吸道疾病。然后居然还问的是哪个support

 

22.               A国民众不同意对航天研究进行投资,有几个富人花了百万美元进行了太空旅行.结论是大规模太空旅行能有效增加航天研究的经费.问Assumption.

 

有道逻辑题，很费脑筋。有人说，太空旅行是政府资助太空研究的有效途径。付税人不愿意为看不到（tangible)的利益付钱，而已经有几个富翁付了几百万进行了太空旅行。问，假设了什么。
        首先，这道题看不出其间的逻辑推理是怎样的，所以如果不看选择项，很难断定它假设了什么。可是选择项也提供不了什么帮助。我最后选的是，没有付税人的钱，政府就找不到钱来资助太空研究。

 

23.               A地政府要求乳制品商店实行严格的卫生标准.B店可以逃避该卫生标准,结论是B地因此相比于竞争对手具有了profit margin.问evaluation.

24.               说有一种禁烟药，开始用非处方的方式销售，而最有名的那个牌子是用处方药的方式销售的。因为非处方药的价格远远低于处方药，因此预计这种药将取代那个有名牌子在市场上的地位，问削弱。我选的是市民的医疗保险可以报销处方药但是不能报销非处方药（大致是这个意思）

25. boldface题。答案是第一段說了一个情况，第二段排除了导致这个情况的一种原因(assumption)。

GWD7-Q27:

A significant number of complex repair jobs carried out by Ace Repairs have to be reworked under the company’s warranty.  The reworked jobs are invariably satisfactory.When initial repairs are inadequate, therefore, it is not because the mechanics lack competence;There is no systematic difference in membership between the group of mechanics who do first-time jobs and the group of those who do rework jobs. rather, there is clearly a level of focused concentration that complex repairs require that is elicited more reliably by rework jobs than by first-time jobs.

 

26. 一种的医疗保健措施可以降低成本给70岁以上的老年人以保障.而且这个年龄段的人预计新不会增多,问为什么政府在这方面的支出不能减少?

选了有时会在修补雕塑的时候更换比较不重要的底座的木头。

 

30. xx年代的xx僧人按照其宗教xx规定应该有一段时间可以吃鱼不可以吃肉。但是挖出来的xx僧人的厨房的化石发现，鱼骨头比肉骨头少很多很多，由此得出结论说，僧人即使在不可以吃肉的时间也很少吃鱼或者不吃鱼，问基于什么假设。这个当时在两个选项间犹豫了一阵，一个是说xx僧人严格遵守xx规定，一个是说xx僧人的厨房不会和他们邻居共用，最后选了后者。

 

[版本1]在古代寺院的遗址发现曾被用来做垃圾堆的地方，发现只有很少的鱼骨头，而那时的和尚虽然不能吃肉，但可以吃鱼。得出那时和尚也只吃少量的鱼，问 assumption
1) 邻居没有使用这个垃圾堆；2) 和尚严格执行寺规。作者选了2。
[版本2]14世纪僧侣可以吃鱼，不能吃肉。考古学家挖掘一处14世纪修道院遗址是发现鱼骨头残骸很少，从而得出结论当时僧侣很少吃鱼。问假设？应选在当地的环境下, 鱼骨头不会比XX DECOMPOSE得更快.

33. GWD-6-Q21:
An overwhelming proportion of the most productive employees at SaleCo’s regional offices worknot eight hours a day, five days a week, as do other SaleCo employees, but rather ten hours a day, four days a week, with Friday off. Noting this phenomenon, SaleCo’s president plans to increase overall productivity by keeping the offices closed on Fridays and having all employees work the same schedule—ten hours a day, four days a week.

Which of the following, if true, provides the most reason to doubt that the president’s plan, if implemented, will achieve its stated purpose?

A.            Typically, a SaleCo employee’s least productive hours in the workplace are the early afternoon hours.

B.             None of the employees who work four days a week had volunteered to work that schedule, but all were assigned to it by their supervisors.

C.            Working ten hours a day has allowed the most productive employees to work two hours alone each day in their respective offices relatively undisturbed by fellow employees.

D.            Employees at SaleCo are compensated not on the basis of how many hours a week they work but on the basis of how productive they are during the hours they are at work.

E.             Those SaleCo employees who have a four-day workweek do not take any of their office work to do at home on Fridays.

 

34. 说某广告公司在广播间隙把歌曲播放数量从８首增加到十首。别人认为公司收入会下降，因为减少了用于播放广告的时间。这是基于何种假设：我选的是：歌曲增加，但每首歌的长度并未显著减少。

39. GWD27-Q9:

In order to raise revenue, the federal government planned a tax amnesty program that allows taxdelinquents to pay all owed tax without added financial penalty. However, economists projected that the federal government would collect a far lower percentage of total tax owed by delinquents than did state governments implementing similar programs.

Which of the following, if true, would most contribute to an explanation of the economists’ projections?

A.  Tax amnesty programs are only successful if they are widely publicized.

B.  Most people who honestly pay their state tax are equally honest in paying their federal tax.

C.  Although federal tax delinquents usually must pay high financial penalties, the states require far lower financial penalties.

D.  The state tax rate varies considerably from state to state, but the federal tax is levied according to laws which apply to citizens of all the states.

40. 小孩子看电视的，说小孩子看电视不好，因为电视节目中间老是插播广告之类的东西来打断节目，使得小孩子以后不能长时间集中注意力做一件事情。
        好像是直接推理题，我选的是看电视对小孩大脑发育不利

 

41. Boldface题，prep上有原文，不过粗体字部分跟不一样。
            

Paleontologist: About 2.8 million years ago, many species that lived near the ocean floorsuffered substantial population declines.  These declines coincided with the onset of an ice age.  The notion that cold killed those bottom-dwelling creatures outright is misguided, however; temperatures near the ocean floor would have changed very little.  Nevertheless, the cold probably did cause the population declines, though indirectly.  Many bottom-dwellers depended forfood on plankton, small organisms that lived close to the surface and sank to the bottom when they died.  Most probably, the plankton suffered a severe population decline as a result of sharply lower temperatures at the surface, depriving many bottom-dwellers of food.

 

42. 经济学家：政府决定多修几条路来缓解congestion的决定是愚蠢的，因为更多的路会encourage更多的人开车，从而会导致长期更大的堵车。而从近期来看，短时间的堵车缓解带来的好处不足以弥补修这几条路的高昂的花费。
        问weaken
我选的是E，说政府修路的钱主要来自于对高峰时期堵在路上的driver收税。

一个政府决定修更多的路来缓解堵车问题,但是政府的决定是愚蠢的,因为多修路会鼓励更多的人开车，从而让堵车问题更加严重,问WEAKEN,选E,政府修路的钱主要来自对堵在路上的那些车征的税

43. 一个攻击某senator的ad使得很多人不去投票了/改变了vote，这些人evenly分成原来准备投票支持senator的，和原来准备投票反对senator的。因此这个ad没有损害senator的作用，问关于那些仍然投票的人的描述哪个weaken

某个人说Senator选举广告造成很多人的opinion change，但是总体上来说change to not to vote的人中for和against的人数差不多，所以影响没什么。问什么可能undermine这个conclusion。我选change mind但仍投票的人原本都要投Senator的，现在想来可能想反掉了，忘记看这段的立场是for还是against了
            

 

以前有两个人个人参加政治竞选,其中一个人的言论在电视上被人攻击了.结果有10000个人改变了他们的投票决定.但是这10000个人的改变对竞选结果没什么影响,因为这10000个人里面大部分去重新投票了,重新投票的人里面一半支持了他的对手一半反对了他的对手.问WEAKEN.选了B,这10000个人中没有去重新投票的那些人本来都是支持被攻击的那个人的

44. 说是现在技术发展可以屏蔽到很多电视广告，因此电台很难attract广告商。一个办法是把广告直接放在人们想看的节目里面。问提供的information可以说明什么。答案是这个办法可以吸引广告商

51. Rabbits were introduced to Numa
                Island in the nineteenth century.  Overgrazing by the enormous population of rabbits now menaces the island’s agriculture.  The government proposes to reduce the population by using a virus that has caused devastating epidemics in rabbit populations elsewhere.  There is, however, a chance that the virus will infect the bilby, an endangered nativemarsupial.  The government’s plan, therefore, may serve the interests of agriculture but will clearly increase the threat to native wildlife.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

A.      There is less chance that the virus will infect domestic animals on Numa than that it will infect bilbies.

B.       There are no species of animals on the island that prey on the rabbits.

C.      Overgrazing by rabbits endangers many of the plants on which bilbies feed.

D.      The virus that the government proposes to use has been successfully used elsewhere to control populations of rabbits.

E.       There is no alternative means of reducing the rabbit population that would involve no threat to the bilby

 

52.   说美国之前（应该是1930年之类的），广播一个人的什么书，造成了很大的轰动和panic恐慌，这个效应广泛影响舆论和政界。还甚至间接引起了第一或二次世界大战的爆发（胡说八道）。然后问哪一个weaken。
            

1930年代美国广泛地广播了一个人的一本书的内容,结果引起了极大的恐慌心理,而这种恐慌心理很有可能是人们还受到了二战的影响,问WEAKEN.选了B,好象说也广泛地宣传了另一本内容相仿的书结果没有引起恐慌心理

 

53. 一般情况在交通不发达的乡下农民把地种在离家近的地方，但是非洲一种很重要的农作物（单词不认识），向来都种的离村民最远，为什么？
        选了那个说此作物野生动物最不喜欢吃(Me:还是要看文中强调什么)

 

54. 医院为了省钱决定某brand医疗器械改成让外包的维修商maintain，因为原厂要钱太贵。问原厂那种做法让医院打不成如意算盘？
        选了那个大幅度增加卖给维修商的零件价格。

 

55. 某城市要修port，说可以增加就业率，但是唯一的一条铁路可能会跟着涨价云云

某政府要建某port希望吸引ship company就可以提供high pay的job,但是有人提出从port到inlandcity要经过road，而road authority charge high fee,成本的上升造成port对ship company不是那么attrative.问weaken这个质疑的。

62. 说一个地方以redware著名，但是到1840’s，因为手工工场的出现，redware就不产了，但是后来考古学家发现1860年，还有redware在，问怎么解释。我说手工工场产的和redware都在同时用着。(生产和使用的gap?)

有一道说redware。科学家从某人的旅游日记中推测在手工作坊中小规模生产的redware应该在1840年就被大工厂生产的取代了。但是最新考古发现1860年的某废墟中发现了手工知道的redware，这个发现并不能削弱科学家的推理，问原因。

我选　该发现并不能推出该redware的生产时间。　

63. In polluted environments, dolphins gradually accumulated toxins in their body fat, and the larger the dolphin, the more accumulated toxin it can tolerate.  Nearly 80 percent of the toxins a female dolphin has accumulated pass into the fat-rich milk her nursing calf ingests.  Therefore, the unusually high mortality(死亡率) rate among dolphin calves in the industrially contaminated waters along Florida’s Gulf Coast is probably the result of their being poisoned by their mother’s milk.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

A.      The survival rate of firstborn dolphin calves in the area along Florida’s Gulf
                    Coast is highest for those whose mothers were killed before they were weaned.

B.       The rate at which adult dolphins living in the waters along Florida’s Gulf  Coast accumulate toxins is no higher than that of adult dolphins in comparably polluted waters elsewhere.

C.      Among dolphin calves born in the area along Florida’s Gulf Coast, the mortality rate is highest among those with living siblings.

D.      As dolphins age, they accumulate toxins from the environment more slowly than when they were young.

E.       Dolphins, like other marine mammals, have a higher proportion of body fat than do most land mammals.

 

63. 某地的hotel一直被抱怨说价格太贵，所以政府决定降低5%的tax on the house fee。一年以后发现tax on the house fee没有降低，所以一定是更多的人来住酒店了。问它的assumption是什么。我选了pre-tax的housing fee 没有largely increase。旅馆住宿价格*住宿人数*税收%=税收金额。

 

64. M说在P发表竞职演说的时候股票就下降，说明投资人都怕P的上台给经济造成影响。问M的逻辑错误是什么？我选的是“相关性谬误”（同时发生，但是不互为因果）

 

65. 说航空公司现在清理飞机的频率越来越低了，因为业内竞争很激烈大家都想减少成本，但是有个公司价格最低但是清理飞机最频繁，问下面哪个可以解释，我选的是这个公司依靠低价吸引了大部分的顾客。

Whales originated in the freshwater lakes and rivers of ancient Asia about sixty million years ago.  Not until about ten million years later did species of whales develop specialized kidneys enabling them to drink salt water.  Although fossil evidence shows that some early whale species that lacked such kidneys sometimes swam in the Earth’s saltwater oceans, these species must have had to return frequently to freshwater rivers to drink.

 Which of the following is most strongly supported by the information given?

 

A.           Fossils of whale species dating from between sixty million and fifty million years ago will not be found on continents that were at the time separated from ancient Asia by wide expanses of ocean.

C.            Fossils of whale species that drank fresh water will not be found in close proximity to fossils of whale species that drank salt water.

D.            The earliest whales that drank salt water differed from fresh-water-drinking whales only in their possession of specialized kidneys.
