[梦之队日记]2009年6月-TopTwenty备考记录

TopTwenty

谢谢上面几位G友的留言和鼓励！

不知不觉已经有近两周没有来记录我的日记了（现在已经算不上日记了）。工作了，很多时候身不由己，时间也不好把握。不过我的学习并没有中断，虽然没有做到每天都学习，但是一般间隔时间不会超过一天。进度比计划的要慢一点。从这周起我将开始GWD部分。有朋友说GWD不一定要做完，所以我看情况做十多套吧，然后总结。

考GMAT真的不轻松，大家都要加油啊！

刚才做了GWD第一套，花了约80分钟时间，错了17题，分别是RC错8题，CR错2题，SC错7题。

做的时候有一些题目完全没有感觉，特别是阅读，所以阅读14个题目错了8个。

今天做了GWD第二套题，花了约90分钟，错了13题，分别是RC错5题，CR错3题，SC错5题。

做题目的时候还是没有感觉，阅读有时候一篇文章看过去，似乎看明白了，实际上似懂非懂。语法部分有几个题目句子没有看懂。

没有时间做总结了。周末再说吧。

今天做了GWD第三套，做完以后发现这套题目的结构有点奇怪：CR有18道题，SC只有9道题。

我用的版本是CD22，就是所谓的没有重题的版本。（我发现第三套里面有一道题在第二套里面也出现了）

有两个题目，我做错了，查了CD上的讨论，一直存在争议。一个是编号为GWD-5-29的题目：

Over the past five years, the price gap between name-brand cereals and less expensive store-brand cereals has become so wide that consumers have been switching increasingly to store brands despite the name brands’ reputation for better quality.  To attract these consumers back, several manufacturers of name-brand cereals plan to narrow the price gap between their cereals and store brands to less than what it was five years ago.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the likelihood that the manufacturers’ plan will succeed in attracting back a large percentage of consumers who have switched to store brands?

1. There is no significant difference among manufacturers of name-brand cereals in the prices they charge for their products.
2. Consumers who have switched to store-brand cereals have generally been satisfied with the quality of those cereals.
3. Many consumers would never think of switching to store-brand cereals because they believe the name brand cereals to be of better quality.
4. Because of lower advertising costs, stores are able to offer their own brands of cereals at significantly lower prices than those charged for name-brand cereals.
5. Total annual sales of cereals—including both name-brand and store-brand cereals—have not increased significantly over the past five years.

争议存在于选项B和D之间。我倾向于选B，因为B说顾客对store-brand的质量满意，那么name-brand在价格上做文章就不会取得较好的效果。对于D选项，该选项只是提到了store-brand有能力降价，但是有能力和真正去实现是两回事，因为有能力降价但是它并不一定会降价。所以选择D的话等于我们又多做了一个假设，就是store-brand肯定会把价格降低到明显低于name-brand。所以D应该不是正确选项。

另一道题是GWD-5-30:

Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

The irradiation of food kills bacteria and thus retards spoilage.  However, it also lowers the nutritional value of many foods.  For example, irradiation destroys a significant percentage of whatever vitamin B1 a food may contain.  Proponents of irradiation point out that irradiation is no worse in this respect than cooking.  However, this fact is either beside the point, since much irradiated food is eaten raw, or else misleading, since _______.

1. many of the proponents of irradiation are food distributors who gain from food’s having a longer shelf life
2. it is clear that killing bacteria that may be present on food is not the only effect that irradiation has
3. cooking is usually the final step in preparing food for consumption, whereas irradiation serves to ensure a longer shelf life for perishable foods
4. certain kinds of cooking are, in fact, even more destructive of vitamin B1 than carefully controlled irradiation is
5. for food that is both irradiated and cooked, the reduction of vitamin B1 associated with either process individually is compounded

CD讨论贴的大部分人选择E，我拿到的GWD答案也是E。我认为E不是正确选项，因为题干明显是在说cooking和irradiation不具有可比性，而E选项说的是二者混合的话VB1会减少更多。C选项则明确指出二者的差异：cooking的食物马上就吃了，而irradiation是用来使容易坏的的食物保存长久。所以二者不具有可比性，如果将二者对比，是misleading。

今天做了GWD第4套题，错了9道题，分别是RC错4题，CR错1题，SC错4题。错的题目回头来看好像都不难，我觉得主要还是阅读速度上不去，同时没有系统掌握语法知识点，对考点不敏感。

CD上前辈们总结了好多经验，可是我都没有时间去实践，压力好大啊。

TopTwenty

今天做了GWD第5套，错了10道题，分别是RC1CR3SC6。语法真让我伤心啊。

据说GWD里面有Prep的题目？这样的话做完GWD再用Prep模考岂不是就不准确了？

还有，看到有帖子说GWD也分旧题和新题？

GWD和Prep的难度比实际考试的难度要高、低、还是差不多？

TopTwenty

今天做了GWD第6套，错了11题，分别是RC2,CR5,SC4。一直以为逻辑是强项，但是今天受了打击。看来自己状态很不稳定，水平还不行。

今天模考了PP3，没有写作文，只做了Quantitative和Verbal，结果发现里面有好几道题已经做过的，应该是在GWD里面做过的。所以这模考好像就没什么意义了。

今天给自己放假吧，有点累。每天上班在电脑前面坐十个小时，脑袋已经不行了，回家还要复习。
