要命 我看了suri前几个帖子，suri千万要注意以绩点为先啊~！ 神猴就吃过这亏的，到后来申请你会发现还是很重要的！
不过一般上3.5应该是ok了~

算是小安第二遍完，明天我想着重看几篇
在第二遍的时候，基本所有的文章我已经能很明确的读懂文章想说什么
但是，有两篇商业性质的还是不理解，其中一篇就是上面贴的那个
╮(╯▽╰)╭  还是没能达到yiayia的境界
anyway 明天各个单项再开始抓
语法着重看错题和自己整理的知识点
gwd的逻辑已经攒了好多错题
阅读gwd也攒了好多
要看的东西真是数也数不完
还有gwd模拟从后面做起，这样的pace才能更接近于考试的自己

这题我是先排除CDE, 因为"each one" redundant （最近对这个redundancy特别敏感）
然后就只能选A了。我觉得A的"each of which"也很不爽，照理说该就近指代reserve，但reserve是单数不存在each，所以就指代next-adjacent noun "teeth"——我是这么想的，我自己都觉得这是个“解释思路”(excuse)而不是“解题思路”。要说解题思路，就是排除CDE，然后B要不得，只能A了，不喜欢也没办法，被我这么解释好像还能接受。
等等，刚发现A还有个are, "each of which are"，这个错误很严重啊....似乎没正确选项了

google发现Ron大神表示这题选E，不过我真觉得这题不靠谱啊，Ron也持怀疑态度

yiayia的解释挺对的
我对E唯一纠结的地方就是那个"each one" redundancy. 直接"each"就好了

花了半天选E
先搞清句子意思：当鲨鱼jaws的牙齿掉了的时候，有许多spare teeth 在哪里，这些牙齿会顶替这些位置。
然后明白which修饰的是spare teeth,好满足touch rule ,ABCD我都排除了，E用独立主格each one来修饰 spare teeth.至于 in the shark's jaws,因为两类牙齿都在这个位置，所有修饰句子也可以。

我晕.....这题完全看不懂啊，什么叫"this restriction"?前面根本没出现"restriction"啊，我猜想是某种限制狩猎的法律法规。但原文不说restriction是干吗的，根本没法做这道题，因为连结论restriction是什么都不知道....
我刚google了一下，发现这题就中国有，国外都没有，而且在中国就太傻和cd有，两处贴子连文字的粘连都是一样的。forget about it.

Some species of Arctic birds are threatened by recent sharp increases in the population of snow geese, which breed in the Arctic
and are displacing birds of less vigorous species. Although snow geese are a popular quarry for hunters in the southern regions where they winter, the hunting season ends if and when hunting has reduced the population by five percent, according to official estimates. Clearly, dropping this restriction would allow the other species to recover.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument?

A.Hunting limits for snow geese were imposed many years ago in response toa sharp decline in the population of snow geese.
B. It has been many years since the restriction led to the hunting seasonfor snow geese being closed earlier than the scheduled date.
C. The number of snow geese taken by hunters each year has grown every yearfor several years.
D. As their population has increased, snow geese have recolonized winteringgrounds that they had not used for several seasons.
E. In the snow goose’s winter habitats,the goose faces no significant natural predation.

"文章中提高冬季打猎的时候，政府有这一种restriction：如果GS这种鸟数量下降5%，政府就禁止打猎。"
我对这个意思有点疑惑，因为原文是：the hunting season ends if and when hunting has reduced the population by five percent, according to official estimates
我对此的理解，是：官方预测，当snow geese数量下降5%的时候，hunting season ends （就是somehow狩猎季节就结束了，比如说猎人们没法打猎了，没猎物了）。
因为"ends"本身只是表示一种结束，可以是事物发展的自然规律，没有说是coersive的。"Winter ends. "  "This academic semester ends."
而同时，说的是"estimates"，而不是"rules"之类的。就好比
"According to scientific estimates, the well-being of an ecosystem ends if a certain key species is distinct. "
所以我就根本没读出文中有governmental restriction的意思.

如果，按我理解，文中没有restriction的意思，就当是政府有个restriction限制猎捕snow geese，那我觉得是选D.
逻辑链:  ---->表示导致(positive)         ------| 表示抑制(negative)

drop restriction ---| restriction ---| killing SG ---| increased SG population ---> other birds threatened

前面的环节都无懈可击，关键是黄色阴影这个环节。
原文论证黄色环节是用了以下premise:
Premise 1: "Some species of Arctic birds are threatened by recent sharp increases in the population of snow geese"

Premise 2: "whichbreed in the Arctic and are displacing birds of less vigorous species"

Premise 1是一个factual correlation，但correlation并不意味着causal relationship. 文中这个逻辑比较弱。
Premise 2是一种解释，说的原因是"displacing"，解释了causal relationship存在的科学道理。

那我们要weaken黄颜色部分的那个因果关系。
D. As their population has increased, snow geese have recolonized wintering grounds that they had not used for several seasons.
这里就说，随着increased GS population，GS "recolonized"，并不会"displace"其他鸟的生存空间。
也就是说premise 2说的那种原因("displacing")并不成立。
那么就直接削弱了黄颜色部分的因果关系。

以上是我的理解，gmatclub上好多人也选D.

这道题是B吧
bat说这种结论是典型的因果型结论，所以要削弱结论就行就是说dropping limits行不通，然后就是b了
b就是我以前经常搞混的一个句型
我开始做这个题目的时候想的是要说dropping limits不行，结果选成A,而A当时看的时候真觉得脑袋不清晰，硬是给我看成是droping limits了，
晚上来看这个就是b了
B是说这个限制早已经被关掉了drop了好多年

-- by 会员 Suri在奋斗 (2012/3/12 21:49:38)

关于it is+时间段+since
的意思是根据后面的动词性质来定
如果是延续性的动作，就表示不做这个事情多久了
it is three years since he lived here  他不住在这儿已经四年

但是b，我不知道该怎么理解好呀
being closed到底是翻译成，这个限制已经被closed好多年还是这个限制已经not closed好多年
要是理解为not closed的话，就感觉b又不对了，
yiayia说的语法点是指这个么

-- by 会员 Suri在奋斗 (2012/3/12 22:11:42)

就是指It has been many years since...它指一件事情或者动作过去很久了。
It has been many years since I met you. I met you这件事情已经过去很多年了。
B选项是这么理解的。 文章中提高冬季打猎的时候，政府有这一种restriction：如果GS这种鸟数量下降5%，政府就禁止打猎。但B选项说已经很久没有政府restriction限制打猎期提前结束了。暗示打猎的人少，打的数量不足让GS的鸟数量下来。所以取不取消restriction能不能达到目的。
