RC 某些词汇的分辨 （资料分享）

清飞扬

做GWD 15 Q8的时候遇到了一道题是
The author of the passage is primarily concerned with

A.criticizing Locke’s economic theories

B.discounting the contribution of labor in a modern economy

C.questioning the validity of the labor theory of value

D.arguing for a more equitable distribution of business profits

E.contending that employers are overcompensated for capital goods

我选了A，但是答案是C，所以为了搞懂这两者的关系，从beatgmat论坛上找来了，关于某些词汇的辨析，希望对大家有用

1. evaluate:
2. analyze: whats difference between analyze and evaluate?

"evaluate" usually means to make some sort of judgment.


"analyze", on the other hand, just means that you're supposed to delve into the reasons for, or the operation of, or the origins of, whatever the article is about.

for instance:
evaluate the effectiveness of this government program --> this means that you should tell whether the program was effective, and possibly to what degree.


analyze the effectiveness of this government program --> this means that you should explore the reasons why the program was effective (or not), and possibly also analyze the populations for whom it was most (or least) effective.

3. implications of research finding



this would take her research finding, and then explore one or both of the following two types of implications:
(1) scientific facts for which this finding serves as evidence (or scientific hypotheses that are disproved by this evidence)
(2) the effect of this research finding on things like policy, laws, etc.


4. argue against/argue in favour

in this context, "argue" is simply the verb form of "argument". as you probably know from doing all this CR, an "argument" is absolutely any series of statements that is meant to make any point at all.


5. call into question

"call into question" is another way of saying "provide evidence against".—所以Q8应该选C而不是A


6. examine

not really any different from "analyze".


7. Reconcile

this is basically the same thing as one of those CR questions that asks you to "resolve the paradox" or "explained the discrepancy".
"reconcile" means that you're supposed to take two seemingly contradictory statements and explain how they could both work at the same time.

楼主呀~谢谢分享。我这两天也做到这篇阅读突然想起你的帖子~~

我觉得这篇文章大概内容是这样的：
第一段：首先提出JK的理论，然后说其实是"Labor theory of value"的继承，接着具体解释"Labor theory of value"。
第二段：紧接着说尽管human effort投资于消费品制造，其实还投资于资本品。然后就blah blah进行解释.文章最后一句说" the labor theory of value"忽视了这一问题，所以JL的理论也会因此承担过失。

所以重点是" the labor theory of value"的有效性。

还有我也很喜欢乔布斯·~follow your heart~~~~
