先来一个我不理解的句子。。。

In fact, the only countries that actually have such laws are farther from the equator than is the continental US.


这个than is...怎么说啊。。。。


1. A company's two divisions performed with remarkable consistency over the past three years: in each of those years, the pharmaceuticals division has accounted for roughly 20 percent of dollar sales and 40 percent of profits, and the chemicals division for the balance.


Which of the following can properly be inferred regarding the past three years from the statement above?


(A) Total dollar sales for each of the company's divisions have remained roughly constant.


(B) The pharmaceuticals division has faced stiffer competition in its markets than has the chemicals division.


(C) The chemicals division has realized lower profits per dollar of sales than has the pharmaceuticals division.


(D) The product mix offered by each of the company's divisions has remained unchanged.


(E) Highly profitable products accounted for a higher percentage of the chemicals division's sales than of those of the pharmaceuticals division.


我选了A. 但是不明白什么是dollar sales and dollar of sales.




2. United States hospitals have traditionally relied primarily on revenues from paying patients to offset losses from unreimbursed care.  Almost all paying patients now rely on governmental or private health insurance to pay hospital bills.  Recently, insurers have been strictly limiting what they pay hospitals for the care of insured patients to amounts at or below actual costs.

Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the information above?

(A) Although the advance of technology has made expensive medical procedures available to the wealthy, such procedures are out of the reach of low-income patients.
(B) If hospitals do not find ways of raising additional income for unreimbursed care, they must either deny some of that care or suffer losses if they give it.
(C) Some patients have incomes too high for eligibility for governmental health insurance but are unable to afford private insurance for hospital care.
(D) If the hospitals reduce their costs in providing care, insurance companies will maintain the current level of reimbursement, thereby providing more funds for unreimbursed care.
(E) Even though philanthropic donations have traditionally provided some support for the hospitals, such donations are at present declining.


我选了D。。非常的雾水。。。。


3. To protect certain fledgling industries, the government of Country Z banned imports of the types of products those industries were starting to make. As a direct result, the cost of those products to the buyers, several export-dependent industries in Z, went up, sharply limiting the ability of those industries to compete effectively in their export markets.


Which of the following can be most properly inferred from the passage about the products whose importation was banned?

(A)Those products had been cheaper to import than they were to make within country Z's fledgling industries.
(B)Those products were ones that country Z was hoping to export in its turn, once the fledgling industries matured.
(C)Those products used to be imported from just those countries to which country Z's exports went.
(D)Those products had become more and more expensive to import, which resulted in a foreign trade deficit just before the ban.
(E)Those products used to be imported in very small quantities, but they were essential to country Z's economy.



Which of the following conclusions about Country Z’s adversely affected export-dependent industries is best
supported by the passage?

(A) Profit margins in those industries were not high enough to absorb the rise in costs mentioned above.
(B) Those industries had to contend with the fact that other countries banned imports from Country Z.
(C) Those industries succeeded in expanding the domestic market for their products.
(D) Steps to offset rising materials costs by decreasing labor costs were taken in those industries.
(E) Those industries started to move into export markets that they had previously judged unprofitable.


超级不明白这两个问题在问什么。。。。。。

In fact, the only countries that actually have such laws are farther from the equator than is the continental US.

这句话的意思就是：实际上，那些有这样法律的国家比起美国大陆更远离于赤道。

第一题我选的是c,profit per dollar of sales 是指“每一dollar的销售额所实现的利润”，那么由文中的信息：pharmaceuticals division 实现了总销售额的20%，总利润的40%，对应的，chemicals division
第实现总销售额的80%，总利润的60%，显然c 正确
二题b，医院要用从交费的患者处得到的利润来cover不缴费的病人的费用，而交费的患者依赖于政府或保险公司。在保险公司限制了他们替病人的付款后，医院的利润就少了，那么cover不缴费病人的费用的能力也就降低了

第三题：讲的是Z国为了保护本国某些产品A的厂商X，禁止了产品A的进口，而另一些厂商Y是产品A的买家（估计买这些产品作原材料什么的去生产他们自己的产品B），他们买产品A的成本上升了，而他们自己生产的产品B主要是出口的，结果导致了厂商Y在出口市场的竞争力下降。

第一问：从文中可以推断出产品A怎么着了？
选A，因为banned imports 以后有个direct result，即B厂商购买A产品的cost上升了，因此可以推断A 产品cheaper to import than they were to make within country Z

第二问：从文中可以推断出厂商Y怎么着了？
还是A，其他选项都缺乏原文信息的支持
