1.1.4服务行业和制造业 @（原文）


考古  ( 原文)
GWD-TN-11 Q33~Q36，但是此文与狗主人描述的最大差异在于制造业的生产率的趋势问题（一个是上升，一个是下降），可能文章不同，anyway，希望得到确认， 并且希望对考友们有帮助（关于后面那些原因的分析很多都与狗主人描述相似）~ 发文如下：
T-3-Q33-Q36
(This passage is excerpted from material published in 1997)  
Whereas United States economic productivity grew at an annual rate of 3 percent from 1945 to 1965, it has grown at an annual rate of only about 1 percent since the early 1970’s. What might be preventing higher productivity growth? Clearly, the manufacturing sector of the economy cannot be blamed. Since 1980, productivity improvements in manufacturing have moved the United States from a position of acute decline in manufacturing to one of world prominence. Manufacturing, however, constitutes a relatively small proportion of the economy. In 1992, goods-producing businesses employed only 19.1 percent of American workers, whereas service-producing businesses employed 70 percent. Although the service sector has grown since the late 1970’s, its productivity growth has declined. Several explanations have been offered for this declined and for the discrepancy in productivity growth between the manufacturing and service sectors. One is that traditional measures fail to reflect service-sector productivity growth because it has been concentrated in improved quality of services. Yet traditional measures of manufacturing productivity have shown significant increases despite the under measurement of quality, whereas service productivity has continued to stagnate. Others argue that since the 1970’s, manufacturing workers, faced with strong foreign competition, have learned to work more efficiently in order to keep their jobs in the United States, but service workers, who are typically under less global competitive pressure, have not. However, the pressure on manufacturing workers in the United States to work more efficiently has generally been overstated, often for political reasons. In fact, while some manufacturing jobs have been lost due to foreign competition, many more have been lost simply because of slow growth in demand for manufactured goods.
Yet another explanation blames the federal budget deficit: if it were lower, interest rate would be lower too, thereby increasing investment in the development of new technologies, which would spur productivity growth in the service sector. There is, however, no dearth of technological resources, rather, managers in the service sector fail to take advantage of widely available skills and machines. High productivity growth levels attained by leading edge service companies indicate that service sector managers who wisely implement available technology and choose skillful workers can significantly improve their companies’ productivity. The culprits for service-sector productivity stagnation are the forces－such as corporate takeovers and unnecessary governmental regulation－that distract managers from the task of making optimal use of available resources.

我认真的读了两遍，确认完全一样。实在后悔没看狗狗啊。。。泪奔中的泪奔

T-3-Q33
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the budget deficit explanation for the discrepancy mentioned in line 27?


A.Research shows that the federal budget deficit has traditionally caused service companies to invest less money in research and development of new technologies.

B.New technologies have been shown to play a significant role in companies that have been able to increase their service productivity.
C.In both service sector and manufacturing, productivity improvements are concentrated in gains in quality.
D.The service sector typically requires larger investments in new technology in order to maintain productivity growth than dose manufacturing
E.High interest rates tend to slow the growth of manufacturing productivity as much as they slow the growth of service-sector productivity in the United States


T-3-Q34
The passage states which of the following about the effect of foreign competition on the American manufacturing sector since the 1970’s?


A.It has often been exaggerated.
B.It has not been a direct cause of job loss.
C.It has in large part been responsible for the subsequent slowing of productivity growth.
D.It has slowed growth in the demand for manufactured goods in the United States.
E.It has been responsible for the majority of American jobs lost in manufacturing.

T-3-Q36
The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about productivity improvements in United States service companies?


A.Such improvements would be largely attributable to efficiencies resulting from corporate takeovers.
B.Such improvements would depend more on wise implementation of technology than on managers’ choice of skilled workers.
C.Such improvements would be more easily accomplished if there were fewer governmental regulations of the service sector.
D.Such improvements would require companies to invest heavily in the development of new technologies.
E.Such improvements would be attributable primarily to companies’ facing global competitive pressure.

Ans: E A A C

1.1.5 网页loading 速度

V1第一段一开始讲，网页LOAD的速度是制约电子商务发展的瓶颈，研究认为网页LOAD越慢，人们对这个牌子的印象就越不好，甚至会把这个态度转 到零售商那去，很多-------------anecdotal evidence as well as theoretical experiments（有题目theoretical experiments的作用）----------------问调查都证明这个了
第二段讲但是呢，有两个哥们跳出来说，我们的研究结果不一样，说LOAD速度和人们的态度没有必然联系。但作者认为为什么和人们的直 观感觉不一样呢，是可能因为这个坏印象是cumulated的，所以要卖的更好，发展电子商务的话，就必须投资建更好地SERVER
第三段 ：虽然delay 一项  但是如果delay 一再重复 那么消费者可能会对retail 有意见   所以呢  工厂还是要1  减少每一页的信息量来提升速度  2或者去提高自己server 的能力什么的  来避免delay。作者类似于总结 说，这个发现更趋向于让商家不重视改善download的速度。

这里记者有两道题：
一个是第一段有一个empirical高亮，高亮部分起什么作用，我选是为了更突出后面发现调查 结果是与人们一般的观点大相径庭的；
--------------这道题就是上述那个theoretical那个，我选的不是这个，是那个和anecdotal 并列来表示的那个选项
另一个是说作者关于retailer说了什么主要的话：我选的是retailer没有incentive去改善网页现 状  by 火翼LEO 730
-------------题干选项有不同，我的题目选项中没有incentive这项


再次后悔没看狗狗啊。。。。

Companies that must determine well in advance of the selling season how many units of a new product to manufacture often underproduce products that sell well and have overstocks of others. The increased incidence in recent years of mismatches between production and demand seems ironic, since point-of-sale scanners have improved data on consumers’ buying patterns and since flexible manufacturing has enabled companies to 24 produce, cost-effectively, small quantities of goods. This type of manufacturing has greatly increased the number of new products introduced annually in the United States. However, frequent introductions of new products have two problematic side effects. For one, they reduce the average lifetime of products; more of them are neither at the beginning of their life (when prediction is difficult) or at the end of their life (when keeping inventory is expensive because the products will soon become obsolete). For another, as new products proliferate, demand is divided among a growing number of stock-keeping units (SKU’s). Even though manufacturers and retailers can forecast aggregate demand with some certainty, forecasting accurately how that demand will be distributed among the many SKU’s they sell is difficult.  For example, a company may be able to estimate accurately the aggregate number of shoes it will sell, but it may be uncertain about which specific types of shoes will sell more than other types.

问题是
Q35:
Which of the following most accurately describes the function of the last sentence in the passage (lines 35-40)?
A.    To cite a situation in which the aggregate demand is more important than the distribution of demand among SKU’s
B.    To refute an assertion about the side effects of flexible manufacturing
C.    To illustrate an assertion about companies’ ability to forecast demand
D.    To provide an example of ways in which companies address the difficulties of forecasting demand
E.    To note an exception to the author’s assertion about distributing demand among SKU’s
----------------------------------------------------------------
Q36:
The passage suggests which of the following about divided demand among a growing number of SKU’s?
A.    It has increased the average lifetime of products.
B.    It has resulted from retailer’s attempts to predict demand more accurately and avoid both understocks and overstocks.
C.    It has decreased the use of flexible manufacturing by companies.
D.    It has not increased the expense of keeping inventory of certain products.
E.    It has not prevented companies from predicting aggregate demand with some certainty.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Q37:TTGWD-6
According to the passage, which of the following has led to growth in the number of new products introduced in the United States each year?
A.    Reduced average lifetime of products
B.    Increased ability to forecast aggregate demand
C.    More cost-effective ways of keeping inventory for products
D.    Cost-effective production of small quantities of goods
E.    Increased ability to divide demand among a number of SKU’s and to forecast how that demand will be distributed among those SKU’s
OA :  D、E、D

1.3.5黑奴的地位@


挺难的，说美国south的黑人奴隶可以和奴隶主谈判xxx，在civil war之后谈判资本更高，农场主想签长期合同并且用庄稼去换钱，奴隶不干要签短的；问[住址],
一篇是关于黑人的，第一段大致说的是内战之后尽管南方的奴隶主不愿意，但黑人还是多多少少有了和白人讨价还价的权利。第二段讲的是以农业为例，南方的白人希望是延期支付黑人的工资，越久越好。但是黑人希望能在较短的时间内获得支付，这样可以有机会换工作 （有题），最后白人只好同意。（有题）

题目
1）黑人为啥喜欢short-term的合同  --------------------------因为better jobs
2）文章主旨
3）文章最后一句话的作用，最后一句好像是讲after civil war, 黑人的劳动待遇有提高什么的
Q1 主题题   选项有 1.为什么黑人要签短合同 2.内战以后黑人某方面的变化      （这道题我见到有人同意前者的 但是我没选 我选了后者 仁者见仁 淫者见淫吧。大家自行斟酌）-----------------------------同意，我也选了后者
Q2黑人为什么喜欢签短期合同     找到好工作后可以很快地离开------------------------同意
Q3 文章最后一句话的作用，   after civil war, 黑人的劳动待遇有提高--------------------选项中有leverage的词，我也选这个，好像是C

一个实验做了, 特别强调了实验的时间是某年的7月, 分了四个区, 一个不让蝙蝠进, 一个不让鸟进, 一个蝙蝠和鸟都可以进, 还一个什么来着, 结果发现那些让蝙蝠进的区域昆虫数量都显着下降了, 得出结论说蝙蝠对控制昆虫种群密度更有效, 问weaken;
我选了说蝙蝠在夏天捕食能力特别高 ---- 这个好象是strengthen
好象下面提到的，说蝙蝠夏天的繁殖能力很强，这个倒是说明了单只蝙蝠的作用并不更大，所以weaken
----------------完全同意狗狗

V1
在某个地区有一种鱼，这种鱼最近数量减少了，原因是很多人为了休闲来这里钓鱼。于是政府就出面要改善鱼的数量的减少咯。于是他们就把鱼弄到其他湖里面去养。问下面那个选项能削弱原文？答案我选的是能养这种鱼的湖在原产地附近，休闲钓鱼的人很容易就找到那些新养鱼的湖去钓鱼。-------------------------------------------这个狗狗理解的似乎不对，不是把鱼弄到其他湖里面去养

考古：
某个休闲钓鱼区湖里的一种diamong trout的鱼population下降了。政府想遏制这种情况，就从邻近的湖中搬运这种鱼过来。可是因为搬运的鱼的数量比before publicized的farm-bred的数量要少。所以这种下降趋势不会被遏制。---------------------------------------------------------这个狗狗基本相符，问的是解释
