4.17放狗一只 感谢整理寂静的人【4.18新增三条IR狗】

ssstill

一战刚上7，V37，准备二战，但自己很知足了，因为之前prep模考两次一次570，一次620。记得之前也有一篇帖子也是这种情况，所以prep成绩不理想的同学不要太灰心啊，prep模考真的不能和实战相比，一是心态太不一样，发挥的实力不同，二是gmac自己也强调，这不能代表真实水平，说明prep软件和实战软件还是有区别的。
Gmat也考察人的心态的，考在高压情况下，人们的反映，pace一时慢了不要紧，追上来就好了。


阅读：
遇到两篇寂静，一篇德国经济，kiko寂静已经总结得很全面了，一篇Amistad，几经里的四个问题我都遇到了。

还有一篇是travel literature, Kiko已经向我考古确认了，应该也会更新的。
题目有一道高亮：is no doubt 的作用 出现在原文中好像是：travel literature 类似于 imperialism. However， there is no doubt that ……desirable effects……忘记了
选项有concession，还有几个类似含义的词。。。。

还有一篇东京铁路
第一段 biologically inspired design已经有应用在生活中。举例：mimicking shark skin 制造了swimsuit等。于是某个researcher受到启发，决定研究某个P...P...(拉丁文长名字）某种生物。

第二段 介绍P.P.的被研究的行为和实验是如何设计的。
           P.P.主要会运输nutrients，他们外出（是不是离开家？）的目的是寻找食物，进而会在家和找到食物的地点之间建立connection network。于是模拟此行为，把某种食物（生词），会加同位语介绍说明是PP喜欢的食物，放在类似于东京以外地区的位置，而pp的家模拟在东京，看pp是如何建立network（我的理解为：类比东京就是生物的家，食物就是东京周边地区，看生物是如何在两地之间建立connection，connection就好比东京铁路）。实验发现，pp不仅会根据efficiency原则，建立一条最近的路，还会建立有些绕远的路resilient 为了以防万一breakage的出现（此处有题目！）。他们的行为体现了costs，efficiency，和resilience原则。（反正就是这附近有题目!)

第三段 建造东京railway 的时候，也应该怎么样……最后一句话提到了 最好不要 human intervention.

题目，有一道是pp的connection哪一道must be true？选择项，会有backup路线在有accidental情况下
           还有一道是，作者对于东京铁路修建的看法是？ 我选择了大概是不要human intervention的近义词。

IR；
一道铺电缆，因为之前看到寂静说计算很麻烦，狗主放弃了三个选择项正确才算对的题目。
还有一道飞机 纵坐标是destination distance 横坐标是以20为界的intervals 具体什么忘了
有一道题目是 在所有20为间隔的，20-40.， 60-80, 160-180,2**-2**，谁相差的destination distance最远 就比较interval两端的x所对应的y的差值即可，印象是160-180

还有四/五？个公司收入问题，圆圈图，纵坐标是公司，横坐标是年份，圆面积为revenue大小，注意如果没有圆圈，是那年没有revenue。年份分别为2004,2005,2006,2007，2008。
两道下拉题，我两个都选的是2005年，第二道为，in which year，all company‘s revenue except one increase？这个印象深刻，因为后面在2007年，有两个公司没有收入了即没有圆圈。在2004至2005年之间，从下往上数第二个公司，2004年无圆圈，2005年有圆圈，（所以我认为是从无收入到有收入也算为increase的一种）其他几个公司里，只有一个圆圈变小，其他都变大了。

逻辑：题目不记得了，不过秒选版本支持超市卖杂志和language indiscrete与否的那个。不过language那里有强烈干扰选项，不知道有无变体，A和B都是说...system is discrete，要么是no...is indiscrete。双重否定啊之类的，两句话很相像，希望大家不要记答案，稍微推理一下，我在最后几道里面遇到的。

语法：肯定没有狗了。。。一战下来，觉得prep和og是为了让侧面传授大家有哪些知识点的，所以语法点一眼就能看出来，而在实战的时候，语法点我觉得都是交织在一起的，有种微妙的tricky之感。我选择相信自己的语感了，有些句子你根本读不懂，那是因为他们错得太离谱了。。。。选择你觉得能表达清楚的，比较选择项。

考到了require的用法，The tractor engines …(产生）…the continuous power （前一句话的宾语），后面接required of the tractor， that they use in. 选项还有required by the tractor that they used in.还有requirements什么的
我选择的是required by the tractor that they used in.  因为require of sb sth 要求某人某事，如果这里选of，就变成了“要求拖拉机的持续的能量”，实际是，by tractors，“拖拉机要求的能量”，此处的they指代前面的主语engines，也正确，engine用在拖拉机里。that前面如果加了逗号，我觉得就变成了修饰power了。

作文 寂静16篇 题干和旧题干有所不同 Oak city downtown shopping mall.
的确是和寂静里面的有出入的。
“The construction of last year of a shopping mall in downtown Oak City （has done little for the residents of the community）删除括号内. Since the mall has opened, a number of local businesses have closed, and the downtown area suffers from an acute parking shortage，increase arrests for crimes and vagrancy. (In addition, because the mall’s owner lives in nearby Elm City, the profits derived from sales at the mall are not being returned to the community. These problems, coupled with the increase in trash and litter in nearby Oak City park)删除括号内, （demonstrate that Oak City did not use good judgment in allowing the construction of the mall in the first place.”）含义有所改变：...should pay attention to the construction of shopping malls, and deny the application to shopping malls in downton Oak city.
括号内的是我今天没看见的，加粗字体是新的信息，最后一句话含义有些变化。
ps：上海南考场的键盘 真的很硬。。。按得楼主很累。。。


感谢cd以来的帮助！祝剩下半月狗狗们活泼乱跳，大家的付出都能有所回报！
欢迎大家来考古！希望帖子不要沉！

因为狗主第二天又回忆起来三条IR，为了防止沉贴，请大家回复吧

补充回忆IR:
1。寂静50：一个学校有五门课，分别为chemistry, biology, dance, english and algebra.
大部分都会上chemistry，再一条有关多少人上algebra和chemistry的信息（我印象中的推理链是：上chemistry里面的人中包括一部分上algebra的，具体的话怎么推理的忘记了），所有上dance的都上algebra，上dance的人又和上english，biology的人有什么关系。最后一句印象深刻！：这个学校的人chemistry和english里面至少上一门。
题目一：上哪一门课的人一定最多，题目二：上哪一门课的人一定最少

2,寂静53：上下属关系 表格题目和一段简短文字说明，文字的大意是：每一个员工会被另外一个员工监视，每个员工监视的人，不仅包括他直接监视的那个人，还包括直接监视的那个人他所监视的那个人（就是说A监视B，B监视C,那么A也算监视C）。公司每个员工都有一个编号employ ID，在表格中，只能查询到他直接监视的人的编号。
表格题目：从左至右五栏分别为：employID, first name，surname，hired time，supervisor's code.
题目有两道：
第一个：选项是三个名字 看题目的时候可以忽略first name一栏没有用。挺简单
第二个：某人（employ id为1）在下列三个人当中，有几个人的supervisor是id 为1，并且他们被hired时间在id 1hire后no more than 12年之内。稍微麻烦的就是，需要顺着这三个人的人名，会看到它的直接supervisor是另外一个人，再去看这个人的supervisor是谁，最后看是不是id为1的人。我印象这三个人都能推理成功，而且那个employ ID他的hired time大概是1992年。这三个人都在2014年之前hired。

3.寂静33
四个折线图，四条折线是四个国家，横轴年份，纵轴oil production。国家我只记得有巴西。。。
题目一：貌似是从某一年到某一年，A国的产量增加的percentage和B国产量增加的比重谁大？
题目二：求某个平均数。

找到意思东京铁路 鲨鱼皮的原文，希望狗主可以确认 谢谢
From adhesives that mimic the feet of geckos to swimsuits modelled on shark skin, biologically inspired design has taken off in recent times. Copying nature's ideas allows people to harness the power of evolution to come up with clever products. Now a group of researchers has taken this idea a step further by using an entire living organism--a slime mould--to solve a complex problem. In this case, the challenge was to design an efficient rail network for the city of Tokyo and its outlying towns. Slime moulds are unusual critters--neither animal, nor plant nor fungus. If they resemble anything, it is a colonial amoeba. When P. polycephalum is foraging, it puts out protrusions of protoplasm, creates nodes and branches, and grows in the form of an interconnected network of tubes. As it explores the forest floor, it must constantly trade off the cost, efficiency and resilience of its expanding network. Since the purpose of this activity is to link food sources together and to transport nutrients around the creature, Atsushi Tero at Hokkaido University in Japan and his colleagues wondered if slime-mould transport networks bore any resemblance to human ones.
Full text: Network-engineering problems can be solved by surprisingly simple creatures FROM adhesives that mimic the feet of geckos to swimsuits modelled on shark skin, biologically inspired design has taken off in recent times. Copying nature's ideas allows people to harness the power of evolution to come up with clever products. Now a group of researchers has taken this idea a step further by using an entire living organism--a slime mould--to solve a complex problem. In this case, the challenge was to design an efficient rail network for the city of Tokyo and its outlying towns. Slime moulds are unusual critters--neither animal, nor plant nor fungus. If they resemble anything, it is a colonial amoeba. Physarumpolycephalum, the species in question, consists of a membrane-bound bag of protoplasm and, unusually, multiple nuclei. It can be found migrating across the floor of dark, damp, northern-temperate woodlands in search of food such as bacteria. It can grow into networks with a diameter of 25cm. When P. polycephalum is foraging, it puts out protrusions of protoplasm, creates nodes and branches, and grows in the form of an interconnected network of tubes. As it explores the forest floor, it must constantly trade off the cost, efficiency and resilience of its expanding network. Since the purpose of this activity is to link food sources together and to transport nutrients around the creature, Atsushi Tero at Hokkaido University in Japan and his colleagues wondered if slime-mould transport networks bore any resemblance to human ones. As they report in Science, they built a template with 36 oat flakes (a favoured food source) placed to represent the locations of cities in the region around Tokyo. They put P. polycephalum on Tokyo itself, and watched it go. They found that many of the links the slime mould made bore a striking resemblance to Tokyo's existing rail network. For P. polycephalum had not simply created the shortest possible network that could connect all the cities, but had also included redundant connections that allow the creature (and the real rail network) to have resilience to the accidental breakage of any part of it. P. polycephalum's network, in other words, had similar costs, efficiencies and resiliencies to the human version. How the creature does this is unknown, but Mark Fricker of Oxford University, who is one of Dr Tero's colleagues, speculates that the forces generated by protoplasm pulsating back-and-forth through the multinuclear cell are interpreted and used to determine which routes to reinforce, and which connections to trim. Tokyo's is not the first transport network to be modelled in this way. A study published in December by Andrew Adamatzky and Jeff Jones of the University of the West of England used oat flakes to represent Britain's principal cities. Slime moulds modelled the motorway network of the island quite accurately, with the exception of the M6/M74 into Scotland (the creatures chose to go through Newcastle rather than past Carlisle). Of course, neither Dr Tero nor Dr Adamatzky is suggesting that rail and road networks should be designed by slime moulds. What they are proposing is that good and complex solutions can emerge from simple rules, and that this principle might be applied elsewhere. The next thing is to discover and use these rules to enable other networks to self-organise in an "intelligent" fashion without human intervention--for example, to link up a swarm of robots exploring a dangerous environment, so that they can talk to each other and relay information back to base. The denizens of Carlisle, meanwhile, may wonder what objection slime moulds have towards their fine city.
