幸福终G站--parttimer之家[part-time杀G小组学习日志]

sea-level

In blue now.

Part-time means a lot of things, in some sense, much more than just a proverb” impossible is nothing ".

Usually, our work need us to exert everything to accomplish the result we want. But after you made up your mind to be a part-timer of Gmat, everything changed then.

I can’t do my job as well as I used to do, which made me sense my failure everyday. That’s not a good feeling.

Today, maybe only today. I wondering that why we pay so much for such a simple thing. Is GOING ABROAD that important to us?

我也参加，fire_825(A) hotmail.com 准备春节后考。目前只看了语法改错。

正在开始看数学。

1. Advertiser: The revenue that newspapers and magazines earn by publishing advertisements allows publishers to keep the prices per copy of their publications much lower than would otherwise be possible. Therefore, consumers benefit economically from advertising.

Consumer: But who pays for the advertising that pays for low-priced newspapers and magazines? We consumers do, because advertisers pass along advertising costs to us through the higher prices they charge for their products.

Which of the following best describes how the consumer counters the advertiser's argument?

A)  By alleging something that, if true, would weaken the plausibility of the advertiser's conclusion

B) By questioning the truth of the purportedly factual statement on which the advertiser's conclusion is based

我选了B，答案是A。其他选项都可排除。请大家指教

2. which of the following best completes the passage below?

Sales campaigns aimed at the faltering personal computer market have strongly emphasized ease of use, called user-friendliness. This emphasis is oddly premature and irrelevant in the eyes of most potential buyers, who are trying to address the logically prior issue of whether---

A) user-friendliness also implies that owners can service their own computers

B) personal computers cost more the more user-friendly they are

C) currently available models are user-friendly enough to suit them

D) the people promoting personal computers use them in their own homes

E) they have enough sensible uses for a personal computer to justify the expense of buying one

答案是E, 我选了B,狒狒说了the logically prior issue of whether是逻辑优先问题，可我还是一头雾水

第一道题要求consumer counters the advertiser's program，A是他因削弱，符合题目里consumer说的内容，而B是反对前提，weaken是承认前提反对结论，这里B是反对前提了，所以不对。

第2题我前两天也做错了，感觉the logically prior issue 说的是前提，E应该是最合适的，因为they have enough sensible uses for a personal computer to justify the expense of buying one，所以这些potential buyers才会考虑buy，是必要条件。Ａ说的是user-friendliness，肯定不对，Ｃ不是必要条件，也不对。

不知道对不对，大家来发表意见：）

以下是引用wshyee在2004-10-8 16:03:00的发言：

7天长假结束，回来报道，作个总结：

没有好好利用假期,  鄙视自己!!! 开始人晕晕的, 还没清醒又去加班, 回来后更晕了, 看书效率低下, 后面几天逐渐调整过来, 昨天是最有感觉的一天了, 偏偏长假结束了,恨啊

这几天重点做XDF的补充RC&CR,CR正确率很低又严重超时,狂郁闷,本来以为看OG的题还可以了有了点信心,现在又觉得自己好差,不知道怎么才能提高啊?!

感觉自己还没有完全进入G的环境中，常常静不下心来,不知道怎么才能象以前读书时那样心如止水??

真想QUIT了,离开那个鬼地方

有些难是很正常的，我也是。我现在又回去看OG了。现把OG掌握好，以不变应万变。

可以到逻辑区看看。那里有很多讨论的。

呵呵，mm做到很快吗，我还在看OG，这些老题要难一些。

这个是狒狒留的作业，我不知道这个应该归在那一类里面？

我也再看OG，每天15题，目前是到第100题了。前面没好好看og的解释，请问你在看OG的时候是怎么总结的？

谢谢wshyee JJ，明天就有狒狒的课了，他应该会将作业的。等我回来告诉你

96.The difficulty with the proposed high-speed train line is that a used plane can be bought for one-third the price of the train line, and the plane, which is just as fast, can fly anywhere. The train would be a fixed linear system, and we live in a world that is spreading out in all directions and in which consumers choose the free-wheel systems (cars, buses, aircraft), which do not have fixed routes. Thus a sufficient market for the train will not exist.

Which of the following, if true, most severely weakens the argument presented above?

(A) Cars, buses, and planes require the efforts of drivers and pilots to guide them, whereas the train will be

guided mechanically.

(B) Cars and buses are not nearly as fast as the high-speed train will be.

(C) Planes are not a free-wheel system because they can fly only between airports, which are less convenient

for consumers than the high-speed train’s stations would be.

(D) The high-speed train line cannot use currently underutilized train stations in large cities.

(E) For long trips, most people prefer to fly rather than to take ground-level transportation.

The author argues that planes, since they are a free-wheel system, will be preferred to the high-speed train.

Choice C weakens the argument by pointing out that planes are not a free-wheel system and are les convenient

than the high-speed train would be. Thus C is the best answer.

The special feature of the high-speed train described in A is not one that clearly affects consumer choice one

way or the other way. Since it is planes that would compete effectively with the proposed trains, the fact that cars

and buses might not do so is irrelevant. Non-availability of certain station (choice D) and the consumer

preferences described in choice E tend to make the proposed train less, not more, attractive and so both choices

strengthen the argument.

这里C削弱了前提，上课时讲削弱只能削弱结论。矛盾中，大家讨论一下把

我觉得有时候逻辑很难讲什么规律，道理之类的，感觉对了就是，可能就是难总结的原因吧
