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

好像要护照就可以了。我们这里要我带ID和学生ID。所以你最好打个电话问一下。另外，如果你的ID是新类型的，就是写了“ not for ID perpose"，估计就不能用。护照比较保险写。

忘了这道, 是A还是E?

Q23: GWD-11-33

After more than four decades of research and development, a new type of jet engine is being tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help boost cargoes into space at significantly lower costs than current methods permit.

A.       tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help

B.        tested that could eventually have the capability of propelling aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or to help

C.        tested, eventually able to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours, or helping

D.       tested, and it eventually could propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or helping

E.        tested, and it could eventually have the capability to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help

这题我昨天看的，好像是E。我选了A的，错了。A后面用从句不对了。读两边就发现了。

今天最晕了，急忙忙跑到图书馆，发现身上一支笔都没带。蠢！如何做题呢？

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（某某信是某某时候写的，这使得这些信的数量超过了某某）
   
   
   
   
2. LACE>DickinsonLACE> 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. LACE>DickinsonLACE>, 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. LACE>DickinsonLACE>, 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. LACE>DickinsonLACE>, 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（某某人某某时候写的信数量超过了某某）

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

比较一下两句话的翻译（highlight部分），我觉得E较好

大家讨论

恩,19,31都同意3W的

29题我一开始也选错了,看看lawyer的解释吧,在32楼:

http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardid=24&replyid=55077&id=55077&page=1&skin=0&Star=4

我看过讨论贴。我觉得lawyer这题糊涂了。他倒戈选A是错误的。关键在于理解题目要比较的是什么。如我分析所说，A取非，还是能估计海洋年龄的，偏差问题。E取非是没法估计海洋年龄的。E里面的绝对词none，保证了E成立的情况下，能准确估计海洋年龄。

所以我觉得A错。

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。。。

这个应该选A，因为E已经被考虑进去了

这题我一开始也选了E，自以为读得很懂了，校正答案的时候细细地读了一遍才发现根本不是我原来理解的那样，其实一开始选E的时候也觉得不甚好，不过又没看出其他的正确答案，不得已而选之，事实证明，读懂题目真的是很重要啊，虽然有的题目读不懂也能选对

先说个恶心的事情。这两天刚学会怎么引用几个人的发言。以前老是看大家的帖子很fancy，自己就苯，搞不出来。终于混熟了。

这题我觉得Ｅ是典型的assumption，题目没有说考虑进去了。如果说考虑进去的，那在计算海洋年龄的时候是如何解决这个盐分消耗问题的？大家再仔细考虑一下。我们是无法知道多少盐分被消耗掉的，那又如何解决问题呢？

反过来，只要盐分没有被消耗掉过，那么海洋年龄可以用题目所说的方法很精确的算出来的。即使Ａ的情况出现，也就是盐流的异常，那也是１００年的偏差。所以Ｅ就是答案。

再说Ａ。如果盐流近几年没有非常变化，但是盐分消耗始终存在，还能准确算出海洋年龄吗？不能。我们连消耗掉多少盐分都不知道，如何算？
