18. 取消车次
V1 from terryblue (720)
大概是 某个委员会决定取消4pm后的车，因为乘客少入不敷出，问evaluation：
我选的是 是否乘客少会greatly reduce the cost
V2 from 拭血樱花（710）
说有个铁路公司发现他们周五下午4点后乘客很少,入不敷出,所以有人建议关闭周五4点后的火车,但是公司高层认为这种办法不能解决问题 问加强或者解释吧....(忘记了)我选了: 停掉火车也不能减少一些固定的cost
V3 from mihayxiaolu (760)
某趟车周五下午五点后的乘车人数不足以弥补其运营成本，有人建议这趟车停运，但是政府不同意，问justify政府。
有个选项是说乘这趟车的都是早上乘过车，五点后回家的作者: Bala 时间: 2010-8-5 22:56
19. 改善童工问题
V1 from 热污染物二
逻辑 有一道说govern为了改善童工的问题，想增加adult的工资，这样adult赚了钱以后，就让孩子去读书了。但有一个专家不同意，他认为商家不用adult了。用童工因为工资低。
问evaluate，我选了大人的工作是否可以被孩子代替。
V2 from sunflower82
某评论家：雇佣童工是不允许的，但是童工还是广泛存在的。所有xx想通过提高工人的最低工资来降低这种现象的发生。因为工人工资提高了，那么家里就不会有经济压力了，让儿童去工作。但是因为工人工资太高了，所以工厂会去请更多工资比较低的童工，那么会使情况变得更差。建立在哪个假设上。我选的是现在很多成年人做的工作可以被童工替代

这个答案记得很清楚，就是两位狗主人说的这个，成年人的工作可以由儿童替代。作者: Bala 时间: 2010-8-5 22:56
20. 固定资产税（GWD变体）
V1 from duke3d001 （750+）
政府收个税，这个税是和某个固定资产啥的成比例的。政府评估了一下今年的固定资产，发现这些资产总价值没有去年高了，可是今年收的税估计会比去年高。
问哪个选项解释了这个现象。 我选的是：政府今年很可能提高税率。
duke3d001补充：题目中并没有给出“The percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city, however, did not change from year to year during this period”这个条件作者: Bala 时间: 2010-8-5 22:57
GWD-29-Q17：又是变体，大家小心啊
The total market value of real estate in Altonville has steadily declined over the past four years. This decline has meant that the overall figure on which the city’s property tax is based—the assessed value of that real estate has also declined. The percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city, however, did not change from year to year during this period.
The information above most strongly supports which of the following?
A. The percentage of Altonville’s yearly revenue that comes from money collected in property taxes did not change over the past four years.
B. The percentage of Altonville’s yearly revenue that comes from money collected in property taxes has declined steadily over the past four years.
C. The amount of revenue that Altonville collected from property taxes was lower last year than it was four years ago. （Answer）
D. During the past four years, Altonville officials increased tax rates on other sources of revenue such as retail sales and business profits.
E. Altonville will soon require property owners to pay a higher percentage of the assessed value of their property as property tax.作者: Bala 时间: 2010-8-5 22:57
考古
V1 关于real estate 价值下降，而政府税收is not likely to be lower than last year? 问解释
记得以前的钩钩的答案是“交易量比去年多”。但是我觉得不太对，因为我的选项中有，interest rate of this year has not been set but will perhaps be higher than that of last year. 这个和is not likely to be lower ?是很完美的对应，应该是它，比较确定的。
V2 政府征收的房地产税是在assess value上按一个百分比征收的，然而现在发现今年的assess value没有前年的高。但是今年寄出去的账单上的税收总量和去年的相比却没有减少。我选的是今年的税率比去年的高。
duke3d001：这两个版本比较像我的那只狗，答案和我选的也一样。（真是个热心的好牛——整理者注）作者: Bala 时间: 2010-8-5 22:57
