suri慢慢心静下来，今天心态也不好，看了有些前辈的帖子，觉得把考试放太重了，我们能在这里一起学习，攻克GMAT，学到了这么多的东西，机会还这么多，为什么要着急呢？想想半年后的自己看现在，会觉得为小小的琐事而烦恼是多么可笑~~

C没问题，我这题的思路也是先理解句意，发现后面的非划线部分"special links between the earthly and celestial realms"说的是emperors，那么最清晰的表达，就是：
把emperors放到逗号前面，然后comma+who bla bla
这样就保证了touch-rule，使得逻辑清晰明确。
这样就只剩下C和E [注]。然后比较这两项，其实就是两个idioms:
allow to be  (allow+infinitive)
perceive as
于是就选C.

[注]：如果ambitious一点，分析到这一步就直接选定C了。因为comma前面要直接跟"emperors"，而不是"only".
换句话说，comma前面直接跟emperors名词结构（可以包括noun modifier）
但这题E的"only"属于adverbial modifier，修饰"performed"，所以要放在"performed"旁边，同时要让"emperors"（或者其所在的noun phrase）紧挨着它的修饰成分"comma+who".

说白了，GMAT整个modifier这块考点的核心，就是把modifier尽量放到它修饰对象旁边，这样使得表意明确清晰。


“但是正确答案c也感觉有个地方不好 be allowed to be done”
我觉得你提炼结构的时候把allow搞错了，这里allow不是被动，是主动。句子结构是：
The state religion allowed the ritual worship to be performed by emperors, who ____.

1. GWD18-Q34
The state religion of ancient China, which came into existence at least as far back as the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. to A.D. 220) and perhaps as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty (1050 B.C. to 771 B.C.), allowed only emperors performing the ritual worship of heaven, perceiving them as special links between the earthly and celestial realms.

A.    only emperors performing the ritual worship of heaven, perceiving them as
B.    only emperors to perform the ritual worship of heaven, with the perception of them being
C.    the ritual worship of heaven to be performed only by emperors, who were perceived as
D.    the ritual worship of heaven, performed by emperors only, with the perception of them as
E.    the ritual worship of heaven as performed by emperors only, who were perceived to be

选的是B，没看到后面的with···being就过去了
但是正确答案c也感觉有个地方不好
be allowed to be done

official salary那题选C么？想听听你的排除法思路.....我现在做flaw基本都是正向法，不是排除法，所以如果遇到看不明白的题目我就死菜了。

corn那道题选B？我也是看第2遍才理清楚的。这题的关键是时间，抓住this year相较于以前的特殊点(abnormal vs. normal)
# of corns planted: more than usual
worm damages: this year cannot sustain (usually can sustain)
然后抓住corns和worms的相互关系，worms靠corns养活，同时(genetically engineered) corns又可以杀worms，所谓“魔高一尺道高一丈”，这个意思。
作者的结论是：corn多了，就可以养活更多的worms，所以simply杀不过来了
但是否可能因为corns的杀手锏水准降低了，所以杀不了了？
所以就是选B。因为作者并没有说上一年所有的corns都是genetically engineered corns，所以就可以钻这个漏洞。

A.Whether corn could be bioengineered to produce the insecticide
提到了，yes.
C.Whether other crops ...无关
D.Whether plantings of bioengineered cotton are frequently damaged by insect pests other than bollworms
无关
E.Whether there are insecticides that can be used against bollworms that have developed resistance to the insecticide produced by the bioengineered cotton
无关，只关心cottons自身基因带有的insecticides.

更快的方法：从上面提到的时间角度，排除这4个无关选项，因为这4个都体现不出this year和之前的不同点。
而B，明确提出"this year"，且B就是说，既然"more corns than usual"，是否有次品，就说并非全部genetically engineered?

3. GWD25-Q3.
Mel: The official salary for judges has always been too low to attract the best candidates to the job. The legislature’s move to raise the salary has done nothing to improve the situation, because it was coupled with a ban on receiving money for lectures and teaching engagements.
Pat:  No, the raise in salary really does improve the situation. Since very few judges teach or give lectures, the ban will have little or no negative effect.
Pat’s response to Mel is inadequate in that it
A.    attempts to assess how a certain change will affect potential members of a group by providing evidence about its effect on the current members.
B.    mistakenly takes the cause of a certain change to be an effect of that change
C.    attempts to argue that a certain change will have a positive effect merely by pointing to the absence of negative effects
D.    simply denies Mel’s claim without putting forward any evidence in support of that denial
E．assumes that changes that benefit the most able members of a group necessarily benefit all members of that group
再看这道题其实可以通过排除来选出答案~~这个题目和写作的argument好像哇

40. GWD-23-Q14

Plantings of cotton bioengineered to produce its own insecticide against bollworms, a major cause of crop failure, sustained little bollworm damage until this year.This year the plantings are being seriously damaged by bollworms.Bollworms, however, are not necessarily developing resistance to the cotton’s insecticide.Bollworms breed on corn, and last year more corn than usual was planted throughout cotton-growing regions.So it is likely that the cotton is simply being overwhelmed by corn-bred bollworms.

In evaluating the argument, which of the following would be most useful to establish?

A.Whether corn could be bioengineered to produce the insecticide
B.Whether plantings of cotton that does not produce the insecticide are suffering unusually extensive damage from bollworms this year
C.Whether other crops that have been bioengineered to produce their own insecticide successfully resist the pests against which the insecticide was to protect them
D.Whether plantings of bioengineered cotton are frequently damaged by insect pests other than bollworms
E.Whether there are insecticides that can be used against bollworms that have developed resistance to the insecticide produced by the bioengineered cotton

这道逻辑题，就算是自己去做错后去想也要想半天，真正考试的话，更怕想不过来呀

还有32题，是在第三篇阅读后，一段时间看不进去，就随便点了个，现在再想就想通了

小狗宝宝加油，你很强大的啊。来闭上眼睛做visualization，想象你坐在考场上，屏幕上出现一道逻辑题，你那么读一遍“嘿，我懂了，这不就跟我之前做的那某道题一个思路嘛，小case”，你哗啦啦就理清思路啦，然后速度扫选项，定睛一看就它了，回答正确加10分！.....反正就想象自己怎么运用平时总结的方法和感受，在考场上势如破竹，那些金牌运动员赛前就这么想的哦

yiayia说的对，昨天下午做完一套，有同学突然说有课点名，急冲冲跑过去，然后又去上体育课，吃饭回来，就勉强把语法和逻辑看了，阅读就不想看了，然后就是慌了，一想半年后看现在，机会的确是多的是。能在这学习，认识很多人，也是一种收获，其他的不要想太多。↖(^ω^)↗

姐姐的这个排除无关真的来的快且准呀，就是B，我一直在看的时候纠结把题干脉络理清反而越来越晕
多练有关无关的感觉啊~！！
