3. 明星做广告 削弱
题:背景说随着广告的什么发展,消费者现在越来越世俗啊,越来越不相信广告的内容啊,越来越对广告持怀疑态度。所以明星的广告越来越不被消费者所信赖
有个调查讲,很多消费者不相信明星做的广告是因为不相信明星会用这些产品
people became more skeptical, if not cynical, about whether advertisement. Evidence that people do not believe advertisement on television.. proves that people are skeptical about whether these celebrities really use these product.
问weaken.
(750)我的答案是:因为现在广告商越来越不采用真实的明星效应来增强观众的信任啊之类的。A好像。(就是狗狗里说的过去广告形式设计就是要人信任明星的产品,而现在则不是)但另外选项也很困扰我。。。我纠结了很久此题。。别的选项包括现在广告商直接让运动员在比赛时使用产品;报纸杂志等公布了明星代言的contracts价码啊啥的;明星会拒绝代言competitor的产品,还有一个忘了。。。大家再继续跟进吧。。
答案:V1 当时我选了个明星为一种产品做广告时往往会拒绝用其它产品。
V2 我的答案是:因为现在广告商越来越不采用真实的明星效应来增强观众的信任啊之类的。
A好像。(就是狗狗里说的过去广告形式设计就是要人信任明星的产品,而现在则不是)但另外选项也很困扰我。。。我纠结了很久此题。。别的选项包括现在广告商直接让运动员在比赛时使用产品;报纸杂志等公布了明星代言的contracts价码啊啥的;明星会拒绝代言competitor的产品,还有一个忘了。。。大家再继续跟进吧。。
V3我选“人们对明星比较能记住”,这题没把握,感觉这也weaken不了,但其他选项更不相关
V4我选的是,现在人,对于报纸,广播,电视都不信。(前人有选,名人广告,能吸引观众。)
V5选项有:1)现在人们不相信任何形式(报纸,radio和电视)的广告
2)人们很少注意广告,但会注意有明星代言的广告
3) 过去广告设计的形式就是意在让观众相信明星使用这个产品,而现在广告设计的形式根本就不是要让观众相信这一点。
确定应该选择选项3)- 题设里面是现在和过去的对比,所以weaken的时候也必出现过去和现在对比,另:现在广告设计并不为了让观众相信,能推导出现在人们不相信并不是因为他们更suspicious
V6(760)選項A, 以前的廣告都是design to make people believe 明星真的用這些product, 但是現在廣告已經沒有這樣design了.
E, 應該是有人做過什麼調查還是什麼的說明星使用這些產品會attract people’s attention.
我選了E. 因為這題不是問廣告的內容, 而是要推翻那個人的 conclusion, that people become more skeptical about advertisement. 雖然題目沒題到人們會因此不買不過可以推測, 如果人不相信明星會用, 明星的效應就不在.
但是E, 有明星的廣告依舊會attract their attentions, 所以廣告還是會有用的.
Which of the following most logically completes the editorial below? By venus2elva
Editorial in Golbindian Newspaper:
For almost three months, opposition parties have been mounting daily street demonstrations in the capital in an effort to pressure the ruling party into calling an election. Though the demonstrations were well attended at first, attendance has declined steadily in recent weeks. However, the decline in attendance does not indicate that popular support for the opposition’s demands is dropping, since__________________
开始时在首都参加游行示威的人数很多,后来减少了,但这并不表明对opposition’s demands的支持减少了
A. the opposition’s demands have not changed during the period when the street demonstrations have been mounted.
B. No foreign governments have expressed any support for the opposition’s demands.
C. The state-controlled media have ceased any mention of the demonstrations, leaving many citizens outside the capital with no way of knowing that demonstrations continue. 媒体停止报道导致外部公民不知道所以参加数就下降了, 想要游行的人们都进不到首都来
D. There have not recently been any antigovernment demonstrations in cities other than the capital.
E.A recent sharp decrease in unemployment has led to increased popular support for the government.
Fill-in type: explanation.
PIA: the decline is caused by reasons other than decrease in popular support.
Indication: ignore the opening question but get the hint provided in the last blank sentence. Trace the root of the key words.作者: 果儿 时间: 2010-9-2 23:11
9.卡通艺术 支持
题:Cartoon 虽然很popular,但是因为一直以娱乐大众为目的,一直没有被定义为art。但是Jazz,开始和cartoon处境差不多,但是却被认定为art。所以卡通也应该被认定为art。
分析:Cartoon流行-----因为以娱乐为目的----所以不是Art
Jazz 也流行-----因为profound------被认定为Art
问:support。
答案:一个选项说cartoon and Jazz 有相同的differences and similarities by venus2elva
考古:
V1 填空第一道逻辑是个assumption还是加强题,说,cartoon现在很流行,但critics不认为他是art. 但jazz以前也是很流行的,但profound,后来就被认为是art了。所以,critics应该承认,cartoon是art. 因為cartoon is also profound~~~
V2 填空依稀記得好像是說cartoon很受歡迎,但是評論家卻不認為它是藝術。然後說Jazz也受歡迎,但是很xx(這裏忘了是什麼)、很profound深刻的,結論是cartoon will soon be viewed as art since_______ 選項就記得好像有一個是說Jazz也被認為是藝術了;有一個說因為cartoon很xx和profound作者: 果儿 时间: 2010-9-2 23:11

11. 犯罪率
题:记得很清楚,是两个地方的犯罪率4年前犯罪率和四年后的比较。gwd原题没变体。
削弱。
答案是E,没有给出4年前的crime rate吧。。。
还有记不得了。想起来了再补充。By 桐聆 就是一模一样,选项换到了E by queenie924
The violent crime rate (number of violent crimes per 1,000 residents) in Meadowbrook is 60 percent higher now than it was four years ago. The corresponding increase for Parkdale is only 10 percent. These figures support the conclusion that residents of Meadowbrook are more likely to become victims of violent crime than are residents of Parkdale.
The argument above is flawed because it fails to take into account
A. Changes in the population density of both Meadowbrook and Parkdale over the past four years.
B. How the rate of population growth in Meadowbrook over the past four years compares to the corresponding rate for Parkdale
C. The ratio of violent to nonviolent crimes committed during the past four years in Meadowbrook and Parkdale
D. The violent crime rates in Meadowbrook and Parkdale four years ago
犯罪率在P和M四年前(题中只说了增长,可能一个从0到60,一个从80到90)
E. How Meadowbrooks’ expenditures for crime prevention over the past four years compare to Parkdale’s expenditures.作者: 果儿 时间: 2010-9-2 23:12

13 motorcycle广告 削弱,支持
V1:
题:有个motorcycle 公司(M) 有new invention 是light weight motorcycle, 准备登广告在儿童杂志上。但有人反对说儿童不会骑,即使他们要求大人购买,他们也illegal to ride.
Weaken

题:一个Motorcycle公司现在在children magazine上做广告。但是有人说了,在children magazine上做广告没用。。。因为children不仅买不起还是不会买motorcycle,而且法律规定children不准开motorcycle.但是,其实这个公司这样做是会带来好处的。

V1 有个motor杂志、生产什么年轻人用车、奇怪的是非要给小孩子的杂志上做广告。题目问、怎样能说明这种做法是正确的。我用了4-5分钟、还没弄懂、蒙了一个:这样能够推动一些非成人的Motor的销售。其它选项还有什么广告商有机会在儿童杂志上投广告时能够得到优惠的、是感觉哪个都不对
V2说一间motorcycle公司在儿童杂志卖广告,但有人认为儿童不能买,而且说服父母买了也不能坐,所以waste of money,问weaken,应该是该公司希望令小朋友对他们有好感,准备明年推出的儿童单车
V3摩托车在儿童杂志上做广告,但又人反对说儿童没有购买力,就算他们说服家长给买,他们骑摩托也是非法的,可是这个摩托车公司还是决定继续做,问什么能加强。作者: 果儿 时间: 2010-9-2 23:13
19、GWD原题2GWD-8-Q3:
In the late 1980’s, the population of sea otters in the North Pacific Ocean began to decline. Of the two plausible explanations for the decline—increased predation by killer whales or disease—disease is the more likely. After all, a concurrent sharp decline in the populations of seals and sea lions was almost certainly caused by a pollution-related disease, which could have spread to sea otters, whereas the population of killer whales did not change noticeably.
1980年后期,SO的人数开始下降。两个原因解释下降(被KW猎杀和疾病),疾病是更可能的。毕竟,同时的下降在S和SL上也是被疾病导致的,这个疾病能够传染到SO上,但是,KW的人数并没有改变

V1 那个TAX的题目,说通胀了,然后工资就少了,然后国家的税收并没有少,问为什么?我选的 答案是雇主可以通过给员工一些受税收(这里通胀和税收之间好像是有个关系的,但是我想不起来了)影响小的payment来弥补工资的减少。(我的理解,于 是人们的消费就不会变小,于是政府的税收不会少,因为商店的营业额上去了嘛
V2 B(一个国家) government was overthrew...然后说workers' wage level declined 40%. However, the individual's tax (rate) is unchanged. 问explanation。我只记得两个答案了,应该都不是正确的。1).tax inspection system was damaged by the coup d'etat。 2).employers is able to pay their employees none-wage payment, which is required for relatively low tax rate.原谅我把。。。尽力了。

GWD-7-Q37
Escalating worldwide demand for corn has led to a sharp increase in the market price of corn, and corn prices are likely to remain high. Corn is extensive used as feed for livestock, and because profit margins are tight in the livestock business, many farmers are expected to leave the business. With fewer suppliers, meat prices will surely rise. Nonetheless, observers expect an immediate short-term decrease in meat prices.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to justify the observers’ expectation?
A. The increase in corn prices is due more to a decline in the supply of corn than to a growth in demand for it.
B. Generally, farmers who are squeezed out of the livestock business send their livestock to market much earlier than they otherwise would.
C. Some people who ate meat regularly in the past are converting to diets that include little or no meat.
D. As meat prices rise, the number of livestock producers is likely to rise again.
E. Livestock producers who stay in the business will start using feed other than corn more extensively than they did in the past.

GWD-6-Q21: by a2000anson by daibing126
An overwhelming proportion of the most productive employees at SaleCo’s regional offices work not eight hours a day, five days a week, as do other SaleCo employees, but rather ten hours a day, four days a week, with Friday off.Noting this phenomenon, SaleCo’s president plans to increase overall productivity by keeping the offices closed on Fridays and having all employees work the same schedule—ten hours a day, four days a week.
Which of the following, if true, provides the most reason to doubt that the president’s plan, if implemented, will achieve its stated purpose?
A.Typically, a SaleCo employee’s least productive hours in the workplace are the early afternoon hours.
B.None of the employees who work four days a week had volunteered to work that schedule, but all were assigned to it by their supervisors.
C.Working ten hours a day has allowed the most productive employees to work two hours alone each day in their respective offices relatively undisturbed by fellow employees.
D.Employees at SaleCo are compensated not on the basis of how many hours a week they work but on the basis of how productive they are during the hours they are at work.
E.Those SaleCo employees who have a four-day workweek do not take any of their office work to do at home on Fridays.
