恭喜Laotou全中了!!!Laotou，有时间的话，你说说你如何做的每个题吧 尤其是infer题 这篇文章我当时做得不好，云里雾里的。 Many United States companies have, unfortunately, made the search for legal protection from import competition into a major line of work. Since 1980 the United States International (5) Trade Commission (ITC) has received about 280 complaints alleging damage from imports that benefit from subsidies by foreign governments. Another 340 charge that foreign companies “dumped” their products in the United States at (10) “less than fair value.” Even when no unfair practices are alleged, the simple claim that an industry has been injured by imports is sufficient grounds to seek relief. 1p:unfortunately负评价词 ITC 举例两个例子来说明many companies search for legal protection 其中“dumped” “less than fair value”做题后再看我才知道作者是正话反说
第一段有点背景描述为后面论述做铺垫的感觉 Contrary to the general impression, this quest (15) for import relief has hurt more companies than it has helped. As corporations begin to function globally, they develop an intricate web of marketing, production, and research relationships. The complexity of these relationships makes it unlikely that a system (20) of
import relief laws will meet the strategic needs of all the units under the same parent company. 2p:TS 二段首第一句
下面就是围绕如何hurt展开内容 二段说import relief laws第一个缺点
灰色阴影 Internationalization increases the danger that foreign companies will use import relief laws against the very companies the laws were designed to (25) protect. Suppose a United States–owned company establishes an overseas plant to manufacture a product while its competitor makes the same product in the United States. If the competitor can prove injury from the imports—and that the United (30) States company received a subsidy from a foreign government to build its plant abroad—the United States company’s products will be uncompetitive in the United States, since they would be subject to duties. 3p:说import relief laws第二个缺点
灰色阴影
然后举例 (35) Perhaps the most brazen case occurred when the ITC investigated allegations that Canadian companies were injuring the United States salt industry by dumping rock salt, used to de-ice roads. The bizarre aspect of the complaint was that a (40) foreign conglomerate with United States operations was crying for help against a United States company with foreign operations. The “United States” company claiming injury was a subsidiary of a Dutch conglomerate, while the “Canadian” (45) companies included a subsidiary of a Chicago firm that was the second-largest domestic producer of rock salt. 4p:继续举例the most brazen case -------------------------------------------------------------------
Questions 58-63 refer to the passage above. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 58. The passage is chiefly concerned with (A) arguing against the increased internationalization of United States corporations没有arguing against (B) warning that the application of laws affecting trade frequently has unintended consequences是TS的paraphrase (C) demonstrating that foreign-based firms receive more subsidies from their governments than United States firms receive from the United States government主旨不应该有这么多细节 (D) advocating the use of trade restrictions for “dumped” products but not for other imports (E) recommending a uniform method for handling claims of unfair trade practices ------------------------------------------------------------------- 59. It can be inferred from the passage that the minimal basis for a complaint to the International Trade Commission is which of the following?定位在ITC第一次出现的地方附近
一直看到第一段最后一句才定位对
这个题其实问的有些狡猾
因为考生定位到ITC以后
A和B的内容ITC附近都有提到
但不是minimal basis 如果没有读清楚题目minimal就有可能选错 (A) A foreign competitor has received a subsidy from a foreign government.不符合minimal basis (B) A foreign competitor has substantially increased the volume of products shipped to the United States.没有提到increase volume (C) A foreign competitor is selling products in the United States at less than fair market value.不符合minimal basis (D) The company requesting import relief has been injured by the sale of imports in the United States. (E) The company requesting import relief has been barred from exporting products to the country of its foreign competitor.都在说import没有提及export products ------------------------------------------------------------------- 60. The last paragraph performs which of the following functions in the passage? (A) It summarizes the discussion thus far and suggests additional areas for research.没有summarize discussion (B) It presents a recommendation based on the evidence presented earlier.没有recommendation (C) It discusses an exceptional case in which the results expected by the author of the passage were not obtained.提到了case但不是exceptional 迷惑选项 (D) It introduces an additional area of concern not mentioned earlier.这个concern已经在前面mention过 (E) It cites a specific case that illustrates a problem presented more generally in the previous paragraph. 就是most brazen case的paraphrase ------------------------------------------------------------------- 61. The passage warns of which of the following dangers?定位在danger第一次出现的地方
也是第二个缺点 Internationalization increases the danger that foreign companies will use import relief laws against the very companies the laws were designed to (25) protect.
(A) Companies in the United States may receive no protection from imports unless they actively seek protection from import competition. (B) Companies that seek legal protection from import competition may incur legal costs that far exceed any possible gain. (C) Companies that are United States owned but operate internationally may not be eligible for protection from import competition under the laws of the countries in which their plants operate. (D) Companies that are not United States owned may seek legal protection from import competition under United States import relief laws.是第二个缺点的paraphrase (E) Companies in the United States that import raw materials may have to pay duties on those materials. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 62. The passage suggests that which of the following is most likely to be true of United States trade laws?不好定位
个人认为是a system of import relief laws的paraphrase 定位在其出现的地方
也是第一个缺点 The complexity of these relationships makes it unlikely that a system (20) of
import relief laws will meet the strategic needs of all the units under the same parent company.
(A) They will eliminate the practice of “dumping” products in the United States. (B) They will enable manufacturers in the United States to compete more profitably outside the United States. (C) They will affect United States trade with Canada more negatively than trade with other nations. (D) Those that help one unit within a parent company will not necessarily help other units in the company.是第一个缺点的paraphrase (E) Those that are applied to international companies will accomplish their intended result. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 63. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes which of the following about the complaint mentioned in the last paragraph?定位在最后一段
我自己整个例子都读了
读懂例子应该不难做出 (A) The ITC acted unfairly toward the complainant in its investigation.推不出unfairly (B) The complaint violated the intent of import relief laws. (C) The response of the ITC to the complaint provided suitable relief from unfair trade practices to the complainant.
能够体会出作者对ITC是持负评价态度
此选项排除 (D) The ITC did not have access to appropriate information concerning the case.推不出 (E) Each of the companies involved in the complaint acted in its own best interest.对我来说是迷惑选项
感觉B更贴近文章更是文章要表达意义 小总结一下，通过OG10和OG11的两篇文章，大家是不是感受到OG11不太好定位(the United States trade laws是a system of import relief laws的paraphrase这不太好一下反应出来吧)，paraphrase不是那么明显，而且选项也越来越迷惑了。再回头来看这篇文章:先考了细节题，minimal basis，考察考生是否能定位准确；其次考了两个题都是关于文章大框架的---两个缺点，如果考生能够提纲携领读出文章是背景，TS，两个缺点，最后一段再举例，就不难看出考点就在这五部分里面了。而且那两个缺点后面分别的举例论述GMAT考了吗？没有。
