超级感谢！

我也倾向选E的。觉得from to和双重所有格没问题。原先还以为错是因为GMAT的习惯。。。

第32题你怎么看呢？辛苦啦~~~

还是SC的难点——比较！

32题的A选项，肯定不对。因为比较结构前后核心要一致。而A选项不清楚到底是谁和谁比。

反之，D选项中，由于补出主谓they do,所以非常清晰——对主谓宾全的句型主语比较！

To develop more accurate population forecasts, demographers would have to know a great deal more than they do now （about the social and economic determinants of fertility）。

又是SC里面一个难点——修饰（句末分词短语/不定式的用法）

位于逗号后现在分词结构，有两种用法：

第一种为做状语修饰前句的主谓，表示伴随或者结果。注意：分词可以跳跃修饰。
第二种为分词结构做非限定性修饰成分，修饰先行词（名词或名词性短语），表示对先行词的进
一步解释与说明。

如果遇到二种用法都能理解符合逻辑，则说明该分词结构有修饰歧义。这种情况下，用定语从句修饰名词更有效。

看到这个帖子，再次看此题，对于之前的理解又加深了一步。

Hi，你手边有TN-24第14套题吗？

里面有关阅读第二篇“小鸟藏食”的文章（此篇文章出现两次，目前只有GWD12里面的题目）；我在阅读专区没有找到GWD18里面题目的讨论链接。

有机会咱们交流一下。

我那篇第十题做错了，不明白E的答案要怎么理解。由答案推得话，大概是根据文章 In the wild, these birds store food for retrieval later during periods of food scarcity这句话得来的。

10. GWD-18-Q10

In order for Clayton’s experiment to show that scrub jays have episodic-like memory, which of the following must be true in the experiment?

A.      Some of the jays retrieved stored peanuts on the first occasion they were allowed to retrieve food.

B.       All the crickets were retrieved before any of the peanuts were.

C.      The peanuts were stored further away than the crickets.

D.      When a jay attempted to retrieve a cricket or a peanut, the jay was prevented from eating it.

E.       Throughout the experiment the jays were fed at levels typical of a time of scarcity.

我也是对这题不明确。虽然凭感觉选对了E, 但是不知具体选择依据。

看来要发到阅读专区求教了。

你可以在阅读版块搜索“GWD18”，应该有相应的讨论^^

你是几号考呢？

我又回读原文。最初做这题用的是排除法。

再回读，我想此题应该定位是原文中的这句：

In the wild, these birds store food for retrieval later during periods of food scarcity.

我昨天搜过，有关此篇文章第一套问题的讨论很多；但是第二套问题的讨论几乎没有。

我大概是月底了，还没有报名。因为CR的感觉一直不大好。

不过，还在坚持攻克中。

加油！

第16套的24题，答案给B，可我觉得A更好。你怎么看呢？貌似是道争议题。

我觉得B的which指代有歧义，被动的那部分表达较不好。

24. GWD25-Q24

Although improved efficiency in converting harvested trees into wood products may reduce harvest rates, it will stimulate demand by increasing supply and lowering prices, thereby boosting consumption.

A.      in converting harvested trees into wood products may reduce harvest
        rates, it will stimulate demand by increasing supply and lowering prices, thereby boosting

B.       in converting harvested trees into wood products may reduce harvest
        rates, demand will be stimulated because of increasing supply and
        lowering prices, which boost
