分享一些boldface画图做题心得

Q49 V36，不高分，但够申请LZ的dream school了。JJ已经很足够了，讲讲心得吧，嘿嘿~



三年前第一次考GMAT，连考来干毛都不知道随便搞的，结果搞了个640.

出来工作两年后准备申MBA，10月11日再考GMAT，复习得天昏地暗，结果还是个640，懵了，当晚又报了11月16日的考试，喝了N多alcohol搞到第二天还吐了。

11月16日再考，天天工作OT完了回家再看书基本看不入脑了。考试这几天请假在家死命复习，每晚都是看书看到凌晨4:00睡觉的。每天在家就是煮饭，吃饭（看柯南），洗碗，复习，睡觉。有时候是在复习不下去我就上来CD看看各种贴，真心感到温暖啊！！！



Q就不说了，是个中国人都比我好（LZ撞豆腐去了）。V的话，个人觉得语法Manhattan真的很有用，有空一定要多看几次。阅读和逻辑JJ一定要看全，考试时间不够的时候就知道好处了。





分享一下boldface题的心得：

Boldface一开始做十做八错，后来在看了两位NN关于阅读的方法后（不好意思啊，找不到了哈，就记得一个是用口译法画的，一个是根据Manhattan RC再自编的），运用在boldface上，加自创一套BF indicator画法，自此做BF题就没再错过了，piece of cake了。



GWD1-Q3:

A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price.Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies who want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product.But large profits on the mew product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the mew product’s capabilities.Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.



这一题由于有很清晰的indicator（because, but, consequently），其实我根本就不需要看清楚题目说什么，看indicator就可以画图了。我画图如下：





看图就再对着答案，很容易就选出正确答案B。

A.The first is an assumption that forms the basis for a course of action that the argument criticizes; the second presents the course of action endorsed by the argument.

B.The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy.

C.The first is an assumption that has been used to justify a certain strategy; the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that assumption.

D.The first is a consideration raised in support of a strategy the argument endorses; the second presents grounds in support of that consideration.

E.The first is a consideration raised to show that adopting a certain strategy is unlikely to achieve the intended effect; the second is presented to explain the appeal of that strategy.







再来一题

GWD1-Q22:

City Official:At City Hospital, uninsured patients tend to have shorter stays and fewer procedures performed than do insured patients, even though insured patients, on average, have slightly less serious medical problems at the time of admission to the hospital than uninsured patients have.Critics of the hospital have concluded that the uninsured patients are not receiving proper medical care.However, this conclusion is almost certainly false.Careful investigation has recently shown two things:insured patients have much longer stays in the hospital than necessary, and they tend to have more procedures performed than are medically necessary.

In the city official’s argument, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles?




这题的indicator少一点，但还是很明显的。一个however就可以把XX这个转折画出来了，只要转折一出来，马上把选项A,B去除。然后前面一个concluded马上把选项C,D去除，观望一下选项E，虽然感觉不是很爽，但比其他四个靠谱多了，就可以选了。“两个人两个观点”的时候，把引用他人说法部分在右边标出来，一看就知道谁在讲。

A.The first states the conclusion of the city official’s argument; the second provides support for that conclusion.

B.The first is used to support the conclusion of the city official’s argument; the second states that conclusion.

C.The first was used to support the conclusion drawn by hospital critics; the second states the position that the city official’s argument opposes.

D.The first was used to support the conclusion drawn by hospital critics; the second provides support for the conclusion of the city official’s argument.

E.The first states the position that the city official’s argument opposes; the second states the conclusion of the city official’s argument.





再来一题：

GWD3-Q16:

Economist:Tropicorp, which constantly seeks profitable investment opportunities, has been buying and clearing sections of tropical forest for cattle ranching, although pastures newly created there become useless for grazing after just a few years.The company has not gone into rubber tapping, even though greater profits can be made from rubber tapping, which leaves the forest intact.Thus, some environmentalists conclude that Tropicorp has not acted wholly out of economic self-interest.However, these environmentalists are probably wrong.The initial investment required for a successful rubber-tapping operation is larger than that needed for a cattle ranch.Furthermore, there is a shortage of workers employable in rubber-tapping operations, and finally, taxes are higher on profits from rubber tapping than on profits from cattle ranching.

In the economist’s argument, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?





这题很恶心啊有木有？boldface画这么恶心，LZ都愣了一下。但跟上面一样，把内部引用说法的人在右边一标，再找indicator，直接可以秒杀除正确选项外的所有选项了。选C

A.The first supports the conclusion of the economist’s argument; the second calls that conclusion into question.

B.The first states the conclusion of the economist’s argument; the second supports that conclusion.

C.The first supports the environmentalists’ conclusion; the second states that conclusion.

The first states the environmentalists’ conclusion; the second states the conclusion of the economist’s argument.

Each supports the conclusion of the economist’s argument.

这个boldface画法希望对大家有所帮助啦，其他LZ就逊逊了，木能有什么贡献。各位CDer加油啊，多生产一堆NN，秒杀笨老外哈~~！！！！

具体点啊～哥哥，我看不懂啊，怎么就一个圈一个x就得出结论的，每题下面写个画图步骤123呗～ please？我又看了看，那这个箭头的方向就按原文记叙的方向来？有反义词就反着画？求解？

chensong211

考上的时候有时间画这个逻辑图吗？

啊 雾水啊 LZ的方法很NN, 但是真的不懂啊，求详解~

非常好，谢谢

提炼关键词吧简单题,难题的话还是理解意思...楼主这样简化了也很好.

HarrisZheng

这方法不可靠的

比如LZ举例的第一题

光用because和but两个词 C也符合
