[转帖]tokyo 6/20 完全失败 640

smart

今天上午冲击东京GMAT，结果很不理想，非常难过，实在想不通，下个月再次冲击。

verbal只有25，实在想不通，至少有15题是在GWD做过的，平时作GWD在都是错在7，8个以内，怎么可能。而且每一道都做得满有把握的。

大概是心情的调节，很重要。我今天看到n多旧题，过于兴奋，直接选答案，结果看新题的时候，反而不认真。

下个月准备再冲击，可是把什么做重点突击，完全没有概念，也不知道都做到这种程度了，还只考得这么低，该怎么办啊。看到大家好像都是轻轻松松考到760，大概是我不善于考试吧。nn们，谁能给我点儿意见呢，我该从哪里提高呢。

.Argument

10. The following appeared in the editorial section of a local newspaper. “This past winter, 200 students from Waymarsh State College traveled to the state capitol building to protest against proposed cuts in funding for various state college programs. The other 12,000 Waymarsh students evidently weren’t so concerned about their education: they either stayed on campus or left for winter break. Since the group who did not protest is far more numerous, it is more representative of the state’s college students than are the protesters. Therefore the state legislature need not heed the appeals of the protesting students.”

.Issue

12. “Education has become the main provider of individual opportunity in our society. Just as property and money once were the keys to success, education has now become the element that most ensures success in life.”

[数学]50，满简单，但是不能着急。

1.一个箱子，内部部分的长，宽，高是x,y,z，厚度是2，问箱子的体积？

2.知道一辆车的最大承重，和体积，问装一种沙子，知道沙子的密度，问装倒最大重量时，占车体积的百分比

3.有数列a1=64,a2=66,a3=67,an=8+an-3,问下面哪一个是数列的项。

答案不记得了，反正思路是减去64，66，67，要是8的倍数。

实在不记得了，想起来了，再上来补。

GWD-3-Q2:

GWD-4-Q21:

Hunter: Hunters alone are blamed for the decline in Greenrock National Forest’s deer population over the past ten years. Yet clearly, black bears have also played an important role in this decline. In the past ten years, the forest’s protected black bear population has risen sharply, and examination of black bears found dead in the forest during the deer hunting season showed that a number of them had recently fed on deer.

In the hunter’s argument, the boldface portion plays which of the following roles?

1. It is the main conclusion of the argument.

2. It is an objection that has been raised against the main conclusion of the argument.

3. It is a judgment that the argument opposes.

4. It is a finding that the argument seeks to explain.

5. It provides evidence in support of the main conclusion of the argument.

Brochure: Help conserve our city’s water supply. By converting the landscaping in your yard to a water-conserving landscape, you can greatly reduce your outdoor water use. A water-conserving landscape is natural and attractive, and it also saves you money.

Criticism: For most people with yards, the savings from converting to a water-conserving landscape cannot justify the expense of new landscaping, since typically the conversion would save less than twenty dollars on a homeowner’s yearly water bills.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best basis for a rebuttal of the criticism?

1. Even homeowners whose yards do not have water-conserving landscapes can conserve water by installing water-saving devices in their homes.

2. A conventional landscape generally requires a much greater expenditure on fertilizer and herbicide than does a water-conserving landscape.

3. A significant proportion of the residents of the city live in buildings that do not have yards.

4. It costs no more to put in water-conserving landscaping than it does to put in conventional landscaping.

5. Some homeowners use more water to maintain their yards than they use for all other purposes combined.

Which of following most logically completes the argument?

The last members of a now-extinct species of a European wild deer called the giant dear lived in Ireland about 16,000 years ago. Prehistoric cave paintings in France depict this animal as having a large hump on its back. Fossils of this animal, however, do not show any hump. Nevertheless, there is no reason to conclude that the cave paintings are therefore inaccurate in this regard, since ______.

1. some prehistoric cave paintings in France also depict other animals as having a hump

2. fossils of the giant deer are much more common in Ireland than in France

3. animal humps are composed of fatty tissue, which dose not fossilize

4. the cave paintings of the giant deer were painted well before 16,000 years ago

5. only one currently existing species of deer has any anatomical feature that even remotely resembles a hump
