GWD  12-19

Heavy commitment by an executive to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes it likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.

1. Heavy commitment by an executive to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes it likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.
   
   
2. An executive who is heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that worked well in the past, makes missing signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting ones likely when they do appear.
   
   
3. An executive who is heavily committed to a course of action is likely to miss or misinterpret signs of incipient trouble when they do appear, especially if it has worked well in the past.
   
   
4. Executives’ being heavily committed to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes them likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpreting them when they do appear.
   
   
5. Being heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that has worked well in the past, is likely to make an executive miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.

这题C还是Ｅ？我选了Ｅ。

同意选C，也同意3w的看法，同时e还有一个错误，miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them这是不对的，应该是miss or misinterpret signs of incipient trouble，两个动词对同一个宾语，应该是后者的用法，而不是前者。

GWD12-31:

Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.

1. Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering
   



2. Dickinson were written over a period that begins a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ended shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber
   



3. Dickinson, written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and that ends shortly before Emily’s death in 1886and outnumbering
   



4. Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother, ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, and outnumbering
   



5. Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

A还是E？

我还是倾向于A，因为一是为了保持原意，二是实在看不出outnumbering作伴随有什么问题，E在一个时期给S写信，结果就是这些信的数量超过了E给所有其他人写信的数量。这没什么问题啊

VOTE FOR 19，31..C，A

baby可能看过了吧？

嗯，看过了的。 今天早上很惨的完成里了GWD12，错得不想数了。勉强看完了关于SC的讨论，急着上班去了。

我19题的意见和sensornet的一抹一样。所以我也不很大重复我的观点了。

我觉得19里面的it是可以看出来指代，但是非常awkward的，我觉得不对。一般也没有人这样写的，离太远，离谱了。而E的being是不能省略的。因为大部分being省略是在做状语的时候，being是多余，可以省略掉。这里的being使前面整个部分成为一个主语，省略就不对了。后面的逻辑意思也很清楚。

关于tania说的，我觉得不是个大问题。有点redundant，但是基本意思还是对的。

第31题，我选了A的。这题关键的确在于如何理解句子要表达的重点上。我不能肯定，但是我觉得E 也没有什么错。说不定很快倒戈，选E了。

发现在计划帖里讨论比较有效果，题目的专帖里提问经常没人理

嗯，我也这么觉得的。就是我的问题特多，有时候一下子贴了很多，估计大家来不及看，没兴趣看我的‘问题巨贴’了。

不好意思baby，最近封闭培训，好久没上网了。看到你这里讨论的热火朝天，恭喜恭喜哦。

谢谢携隐常来指导。我问题青年，多来帮我解惑啊。我做了XY 9 （ＧＷＤ１２）狂错。比以前还退步了。到了不顾死活的边缘了。

Q29:

The Earth’s rivers constantly carry dissolved salts into its oceans.  Clearly, therefore, by taking the resulting increase in salt levels in the oceans over the past hundred years and then determining how many centuries of such increases it would have taken the oceans to reach current salt levels from a hypothetical initial salt-free state, the maximum age of the Earth’s oceans can be accurately estimated.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

1. The quantities of dissolved salts deposited by rivers in the Earth’s oceans have not been unusually large during the past hundred years.



2. At any given time, all the Earth’s rivers have about the same salt levels.



3. There are salts that leach into the Earth’s oceans directly from the ocean floor.



4. There is no method superior to that based on salt levels for estimating the maximum age of the Earth’s oceans.



5. None of the salts carried into the Earth’s oceans by rivers are used up by biological activity in the oceans.

这题讨论的是正确测试海洋年龄的可能性，在哪个条件下更好些。

我在Ａ，　E间犹豫过很短一下，看到E的时候感觉就是正确答案了。

E：如果盐分被消耗掉，我们是无法准确估计海洋年龄的。甚至根本不知道测试的年龄和准确的海洋年龄差多远。因为我们不知道海洋盐分在没被消耗时应该是多少，又被消耗掉多少。不确定因素很多，所以如果盐分被消耗掉，我们正确估计海洋年龄的可能性几乎没有。

A：盐分汇入海洋的速度加快或者减少，我们都还是能估计出来测试的海洋年龄和实际海洋年龄的偏大和偏小。正确性要比E情况下高很多。

所以，只有在E的情况下，就是海洋盐分没有被消耗的情况下，我们才能准确测试，否则，连可能性都没有。

A取非的情况下，我们还是能知道偏大或偏小。所以不是假设。

E里面的绝对词正表明了，E是更精确的条件。

大家评论。。。

对了,baby,我记得你也是在北美的吧. 那个,考试的时候只带护照行吗? 需要别的证件吗?

我的驾照上个月过期了,还没来得及换,你也知道这里DMV的效率

要是需要驾照的话,我还得抽出一天时间专门去一趟DMV

忘了这道, 是A还是E?
