最后的冲刺！Cicilla及其联盟的复习日记

swimmingfrog

frog, 我下个月29日考，已经订了，没退路了，要不你也早定日期吧，这样才有动力，早考完早省心！

晕倒。你怎么比我还晚啊，我是3月18号的！所以我真的是很着急了！作文还一点儿没看呢，真打算放弃作文了！

唉，晚上总保证不料学习时间，从学校回家要一个小时，家里又有老人又有小孩子，热闹的很。吃完饭，也就9点多了，最多再看2个小时的东西，就得赶紧睡觉，不睡一晚上都睡不着。我考试时间是上午8：30，估计7：30就得起床，怎么起的来呀！！所以现在要养成习惯了！

昨天就只看了25道数学题。

mage, 现在上海三月的位置还有吗？

mage跟我都在米国，这里报名很方便。

GWD先别着急做，考试前半个月，每天一套练习pace,然后把做错的题目好好搞明白，针对弱项提高。

现在就是我考前的一个月了，觉得还是要加大作题量。还要做天山的，所以时间挺紧的。

我又来强烈建议了：先把OG的解释好好看一遍，按照考点总结一边，然后分考点看一遍。然后拿大全作练习，然后看看准确率

前两个步骤我都做完了，现在在做你说的最后一个步骤。

今天GWD一套，语法50个，数学50个。

加油！！！

请问 菜鸟日记在 哪里下载的？

谢谢！

mage

“菜鸟日记”？菜鸟手册吧，古镯mm的帖子“gmat tools”里有。

我说frog你咋这么厉害泥，说报就报了个18号，也没跟我说一声，那你可要加油啦！另外还是要注意身体，考前状态很重要。哎，看来你们都比我早，考完了不许溜啊，回来继续给我加油！

彼岸要不你加我吧，oneiriclake(A) hotmail.com，我加你总是不成功。

今天的计划：逻辑25道，语法20道，数学50道，阅读4篇

大家看看这个帖子：

GWD 5-15

我选的是B,但答案不一，有选A的，有选C的

Q15:

Lightbox, Inc., owns almost all of the movie theaters in Washington County and has announced plans to double the number of movie screens it has in the county within five years.  Yet attendance at Lightbox’s theaters is only just large enough for profitability now and the county’s population is not expected to increase over the next ten years.  Clearly, therefore, if there is indeed no increase in population, Lightbox’s new screens are unlikely to prove profitable.

Which of the following, if true about Washington County, most seriously weakens the argument?

1. Though little change in the size of the population is expected, a pronounced shift toward a younger, more affluent, and more entertainment-oriented population is expected to occur.
2. The sales of snacks and drinks in its movie theaters account for more of Lightbox’s profits than ticket sales do.
3. In selecting the mix of movies shown at its theaters, Lightbox’s policy is to avoid those that appeal to only a small segment of the movie going population.
4. Spending on video purchases, as well as spending on video rentals, is currently no longer increasing.
5. There are no population centers in the county that are not already served by at least one of the movie theaters that Lightbox owns and operates.

The key is A, I chose C. C is also logic, since the company can also increase the population who come to see the cinema.Please give me some tips. Thank you!

我同意这个人说的：

A中所谓的a younger, more affluent, and more entertainment-oriented population 并不能直接转换为会多看电影的population

.

和这个人说的

尽管A与C能增加看电影的人数, 但看电影的人数增加就一定能增加利润吗? 例如, 每卖一张电影票就亏5美分, 卖的越多亏的越多. 如果利润主要是电影票以外的因素产生的,例如食品; 人数的增加促进了食品的销售从而提高了利润, 就如B所说的, 能够起到削弱作用....

所以我选B.不过我知道自己的逻辑很差，总是想偏了，mm们都选什么？

简直要被自己气疯掉了。前天语法错一摞，好，狠狠做语法，今天错的少了。

可今天逻辑又错一摞。别告诉我明天阅读又错一摞。真是补了西墙，填东墙。感觉自己整个学习的体系布满了漏洞。。。

逻辑又回到了刚开始做LSAT时的水平，云里雾的。

对了，作文黄金80题怎么都是题号？原题都在哪里啊？有没有现成的作文，写出来的让我参考的，那么多模板，哪有精力一一看下去啊.急死了。我现在要抓狂了！！

再来一个GWD－5Q32:

Q32:

Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

Although the pesticide TDX has been widely used by fruit growers since the early 1960’s, a regulation in force since 1960 has prohibited sale of fruit on which any TDX residue can be detected.  That regulation is about to be replaced by one that allows sale of fruit on which trace amounts of TDX residue are detected.  In fact, however, the change will not allow more TDX on fruit than was allowed in the 1960’s, because ______.

1. pre-1970 techniques for detecting TDX residue could detect it only when it was present on fruit in more than the trace amounts allowed by the new regulations
2. many more people today than in the 1960’s habitually purchase and eat fruit without making an effort to clean residues off the fruit
3. people today do not individually consume any more pieces of fruit, on average, than did the people in the 1960’s
4. at least a small fraction of the fruit sold each year since the early 1960’s has had on it greater levels of TDX than the regulation allows
5. the presence of TDX on fruit in greater than trace amounts has not been shown to cause any harm even to children who eat large amounts of fruit

以前，监测到有RESIDUE就不能卖，新规定允许有trace amounts 。（虽然说条件放宽了），但较松的规定却没有让更多的苹果通过监测。A说的是原来的技术其实单纯的RESIDUE是检查不出来的，只有到了TDX的量高于trace amounts ，才能检查成有RESIDUE。这样虽然条件放宽了，但技术水平使实际检查到的TDX的量是差不多的。所以说较松的规定却没有让更多的苹果通过监测。

这是Lawyer 的解答。

不过我想再确认一下是不是自己理解的对：

这样虽然条件放宽了，但技术水平使实际检查到的TDX的量是差不多的

是说“条件放宽了，但技术水平也放宽了，所以实际检查到的量差不多的？

GWD-5-38一个答案让我无法排除！

Nitrogen dioxide is a pollutant emitted by automobiles.  Catalytic converters, devices designed to reduce nitrogen dioxide emissions, have been required in all new cars in Donia since 1993, and as a result, nitrogen dioxide emissions have been significantly reduced throughout most of the country.  Yet although the proportion of new cars in Donia’s capital city has always been comparatively high, nitrogen dioxide emissions there have showed only an insignificant decline since 1993.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the insignificant decline in nitrogen dioxide emissions in Donia’s capital city?

1. More of the cars in Donia’s capital city were made before 1993 than after 1993.

2. The number of new cars sold per year in Donia has declined slightly since 1993.

3. Pollutants other than nitrogen dioxide that are emitted by automobiles have also been significantly reduced in Donia since 1993.

4. Many Donians who own cars made before 1993 have had catalytic converters installed in their cars.

5. Most car trips in Donia’s capital city are too short for the catalytic converter to reach its effective working temperature.

本题中，对于我来说，最难排除的是A，如果新车比旧车数量少的话，那么安装该种设备之后，似乎减少的不会太多，请各位大N帮忙解释一下，多谢！

Yet although the proportion of new cars in Donia’s capital city has always been comparatively high,

我的问题是这个proportion什么意思？new cars/ new cars+old cars 吗？

谁知道rate 和proportion，ratio的区别？怎么觉得三个挺像的，好像可以互换的是把？

我现在是急病乱投医了！大家有时间没时间帮忙解答一下吧！！

彼岸

FROG别急，慢慢来。逻辑是有套路的，尽管你想的再对，也要顺着ETS的思路来。

5-15套路是数量不变，质量改变。

5-32，考相对的概念：技术标准降低，但检测水平提高，所以相对严格。

5-38，反驳前提的选项是混遥选项。

彼岸

今天计划（有点不在状态）

语法25，逻辑20，阅读4篇。分析天山9，回顾GWD逻辑。

cicilla

Frog, 别着急，还有一个多月呢。我现在比一个月前也算是进步半截了。而刚开始和一个月前比较，也差半截。扎扎实实做下去，会有进步的。

今天作了GWD8，以前漏掉的。错10个，又是阅读5个。回头看看错的题目，3道题目让我很晕，一道题目看错，Weaken,我想着support!一道题目例子作用题，我又没有回头去看例子前面的话，凭感觉就随便选了一个；一道细节题，答案就是把文章中的话复述了一遍，我又是懒惰没有回去定位，凭感觉又选错了。真想揍自己一顿！都什么时候了，模考还是心不在焉的。

昨天一个朋友打电话了，躲在被窝里面泡了2个小时的电话粥。今天明天都关机！

真对不起大家，如果考得太差，大家到时候别忘记丢砖头！
