本来报的是18号的考试，因为上个月17号换题库，想占jj的便宜，特意花400块钱提前了三天考试。可是天意弄人吧。就是惩罚我这样的。昨天得知换题库了，心想着真是无巧不成书，这么戏剧性的情节都让我赶上了。更戏剧的是我遇到了两篇gwd的原文，可是第四篇已经完全没有时间了，瞎选一气。真是自作孽，报应啊报应。

投机取巧真的不适合gmat，裸考照样有740的，只是我不行。

北京考场的温度适宜，老师人也很nice，键盘和座椅的舒适度都不错。argu觉得不错，issue 时间不太够。

数学之前两次prep 都是46 47的分，这次答起来很顺手，觉得当时脑子在转。

verbal败在pace和逻辑。后面的题都没时间打

我不抱怨，怨也只是怨自己不争气。坐在食堂里对着一碗面边哭边吃边写jj。

我想我能做的也只有这些了，一点一点的记起来写下来，祭奠这完全奉献给gmat的四个月。

这次考试认识了晓悦哥哥，从未见过如此善良的人，素昧平生，却给我这么大的帮助和鼓励。谢谢你。

不废话了，fail 了 也要厚道  上jj

44. The following is part of a business plan created by the management of the Megamart grocery store.
“Our total sales have increased this year by 20 percent since we added a pharmacy section to our grocery store. Clearly, the customer’s main concern is the convenience afforded by one-stop shopping. The surest way to increase our profits over the next couple of years, therefore, is to add a clothing department along with an automotive supplies and repair shop. We should also plan to continue adding new departments and services, such as a restaurant and a garden shop, in subsequent years. Being the only store in the area that offers such a range of services will give us a competitive advantage over other local stores.”

Megamart杂货店的管理层的商务计划：
  
由于我们在杂货店内加了药剂部分，今年我们的总体销售额增加了20%。显然，顾客主要关注的是一次性购物的便利性。在今后两年内提高我们的利润的最佳方法是增加一个成衣部门和一个汽车配件和维修商店。我们同时也应该在最后的纪念中继续增加新的部门和服务，比如餐馆，园艺商店。成为本地唯一的提供如此广泛服务的商店将给我们带来超越其他商店的竞争优势。

语文考了这篇

Q35 to Q37:

      The experience of British business

       in Iran between the 1860’s and the

       1970’s is one example of the changing

Line       importance of British enterprise in Asia

  (5)      as a whole.  Before 1914 British busi-

ness established and dominated Iran’s

modern industrial and financial sector;

in the 1920’s this domination began to

wane; by the 1960’s British enterprise

 (10)      was of little importance in the Iranian

economy.  While in Japan and India the

decline of British business was primarily

a function of the rise of strong indige-

nous business groups, in Iran, by

 (15)      contrast, the government played a

large role in both challenging British

commercial interests and stimulating

locally owned enterprise.  Periodic

surges of intense Iranian economic

 (20)      nationalism must be understood partly

       as a reaction to the close relations

       between British business in Iran and

the British government.  In retrospect,

it is possible to see the uneasy and

 (25)      ambiguous nature of this relationship.

It is true that the British Imperial Bank

in Iran was never entirely a tool of the

British government, and that the Anglo-

Iranian Oil Company did not take its

 (30)      orders from the British government,

despite the 51 percent government

shareholding.  However, the relationship

       between British business and the British

government was sufficiently close that

 (35)     many Iranians understandably viewed

the oil company and the bank as sym-

bols of a British imperialist policy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q35:     

The primary purpose of the passage is to

evaluate a country’s solution to a problem
describe differing perceptions of a historical event
contrast historical events in two countries
provide an explanation for a historical phenomenon
challenge an accepted explanation for a historical change
Answer: d

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q36:     

The passage suggests which of the following about British business in Japan and India as compared to British business in Iran?

British business in Japan and India received less support from the British government than did British business in Iran.
During the early twentieth century, British business played less of a role in the Japanese and Indian economy than it did in the Iranian economy.
The governments of Japan and India played less of a role in the changing status of British business than did the government of Iran.
The types of enterprises conducted by the British in Japan and India were significantly different from the enterprises conducted by the British in Iran.
British business in Japan and India declined more gradually than did British business in Iran.
Answer: c

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q37:

The author of the passage mentions the British government’s shares in the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company most probably in order to

demonstrate the British enterprise in Iran was controlled by the British government
contrast British-run businesses in Iran with Iranian-run businesses in Iran
show how joint British and Iranian enterprises were encouraged by the British government
illustrate a point about the financial difficulties faced by British businesses in Asia
suggest a reason for Iranians’ perception of the role British government played in British business
answer ：e

第二篇阅读：O动物用工具

三段，不长，一屏左右。第一段讲一种动物o开头的（十分聪明），说他们会 use tools吃一种植物的seed（大概是有壳的，所以很麻烦），这一段生词很多，但是没有考点。莫害怕，继续读。

第二段，说他们会使用工具的这种本领，不是基因遗传的，因为同种的 动物o 就不会啊 ，balbala说了一些原因。这里面提到了一个词，我记得是capacity，就在相对比的o后面修饰他。考了这个对比的作用——当时定位花了我一些时间。 继续排除可能性说 也不是环境因素造成的怎么怎么样的，balabala什么原因（ms说同环境的别的动物也不会）。此处有考点问这段作用——（rule out other explanation ）这个我确定。

第三段，讲了真正的原因，是因为这些动物o很聪明，自己研究出来的工具的使用方法。 这种技能的传播是因为在这个地区population density 很多，他们更加social——此处有考点。问skill spread 的原因。

第四篇阅读：

1.        GWD-17-Q35-Q37
     月球表面的洞
(This passage was excerpted from material

published in 1996.)

      When a large body strikes a planet

       or moon, material is ejected, thereby

       creating a hole in the planet and a local

Line       deficit of mass.  This deficit shows up

  (5)      as a gravity anomaly:  the removal of

the material that has been ejected to

make the hole results in an area of

slightly lower gravity than surrounding

areas.  One would therefore expect that

 (10)      all of the large multi-ring impact basins

on the surface of Earth’s Moon would

show such negative gravity anomalies,

since they are, essentially, large holes

in the lunar surface.  Yet data collected

 (15)      in 1994 by the Clementine spacecraft

show that many of these lunar basins

have no anomalously low gravity and

some even have anomalously high

gravity.  Scientists speculate that early

 (20)      in lunar history, when large impactors

       struck the Moon’s surface, causing

       millions of cubic kilometers of crustal

debris to be ejected, denser material

from the Moon’s mantle rose up

 (25)      beneath the impactors almost imme-

diately, compensating for the ejected

material and thus leaving no low gravity

anomaly in the resulting basin.  Later,

however, as the Moon grew cooler

 (30)      and less elastic, rebound from large

impactors would have been only partial

and incomplete.  Thus
     today such

       gravitational compensation probably

would not occur:  the outer layer of

the Moon is too cold and stiff.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q35:

According to the passage, the gravitational compensation referred to in line 33 is caused by which of the following?

A deficit of mass resulting from the creation of a hole in the lunar surface
The presence of material from the impactor in the debris created by its impact
The gradual cooling and stiffening of the Moon’s outer layer
The ejection of massive amounts of debris from the Moon’s crust
The rapid upwelling of material from the lunar mantle

denser material from the Moon’s mantle rose up beneath the impactors almost immediately, compensating for the ejected material and thus leaving no low gravity anomaly in the resulting basin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q36:

The passage suggests that if the scientists mentioned in line 19 are correct in their speculations, the large multi-ring impact basins on the Moon with the most significant negative gravity anomalies probably

were not formed early in the Moon’s history

were not formed by the massive ejection of crustal debris
are closely surrounded by other impact basins with anomalously low gravity
were created by the impact of multiple large impactors
were formed when the Moon was relatively elastic

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q37: 这道题没有 换了
  

Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?

An anomalous finding is cited, the data used to support that finding are analyzed, and the finding is modified.
A theory about a phenomenon is introduced, data seeming to disprove that theory are analyzed, and the theory is rejected.
A phenomenon is described, a finding relating to the phenomenon is discussed, and a possible explanation for that finding is offered.

A debate among scientists regarding the explanation for a particular phenomenon is outlined, and one position in that debate is shown to be more persuasive.
The observation of an astronomical event is described, and two schools of thought about the explanation for that event are discussed.
第三篇阅读

我要重点说一下，这个绝对是我做过所有gmat阅读中最难的一篇，长，一屏多。

我预言这将是本月阅读最变态之一。

生物方面的，大概是基因？族谱？破解了什么？动物学家？生物学家？人？大猩猩？海藻？——我也就认识这几个词了。

通篇理论专业词汇，每个后面给个括号举个例子。无数的不认识的词汇。首字母提炼一点用都没有。四道题，这篇阅读我用了十五分钟还要多，直接导致最后的pace混乱。在这里只能期盼nn的补充了
