Argument之前没复习到

The following appeared as part of a memorandum from the loan department of the Frostbite National Bank:
“We should not approve the business loan application of the local group that wants to open a franchise outlet for the Kool Kone chain of ice cream parlors. Frostbite is known for its cold winters, and cold weather can mean slow ice cream sales. For example, even though Frostbite is a town of 10,000 people, it has only one ice cream spot—the Frigid Cow. Despite the lack of competition, the Frigid Cow’s net revenues fell by 10 percent last winter.”

Issue是一道题库里没有的题（反正我没找到）

革新和变化对企业带来的好处和坏处是一样的。 

Quantitative 做得不好，从来就没拿过满分

1.       一个股票的收盘价在一个月里都不一样，但是变化（涨跌幅）不超过当月第一天收盘价的50%。已知该股票在第二天的收盘价是$10，问一下哪个不可能是该股票的收盘价。

A $3  B $5  C $12  D $18  E $29 （BCD具体记不清了，我选A）

2.       等腰三角形三边长为 t-4，20-2t，t-6，问下面那个可能是该三角形的周长。

I．II．III．记不清了，反正是让两个代数式相等，算出t然后算出周长。我选I和III

3．还有一个图表，调查一堆人工作时间的，求中位数。好像在GMAT prep中见过，我用了最愚蠢的办法，把所有的数排开，找中间的数。

4．S是正整数的集合，n在其中。问n是几。（大约是这么问的）

1）S中的元素小于123456789/9

2）n是123456789的质因子

我选C

5．一个数除以6余2，除以8余6，问一下哪个是除以48的余数。

选项忘了，我是用余数+48带回去算的。（这种题用数学表达式做我觉得还不如这个方法呢，况且试数法是缺乏数论知识学生是法宝嘛！不丢人！）

6．一个圆桌，告诉了周长，现在一块桌布，要求铺在桌面上垂下来的长度至少10英寸，问桌布边长。

(算出半径+10)*2

7．X^2+kX+3=0，问X=3是该方程的一个解吗？

1）K^2=16

2）X=1是方程的一个解

应该是B吧？

8．一个东西P块钱，先涨价r percent，再降价t percent。问现在是多少钱了。

注意百分比要用（r/100）（t/100）

9．9个人里面选三个人，一个当头，一个当助手，一个当崔（哈哈），问有多少选法。

A（9，3）=504

10．数列1，2，3，…n求S(2n)-S(n)的值。

11．y=(x-2)^2-1 不过哪几象限

12．正方形里面有四个大圆和一个小圆,小圆和四个大圆相切,四个大圆与正方形相切.求小圆半径r比正方形边长

13．问(x+y)/4是否是偶数？

1）x，y都是偶数

2）(x+y)能被4整除

我选E，又用了我百试不爽的试数法……

14．两个半径相等的圆相交，有两个交点。这两个交点和两个的圆心形成的四边形（实际上应该是菱形）是否是正方形？

1）记不清了

2）记不清了

15．|-6-|3-7||=

这个题在倒数几道题的时候出来了，当时我就慌了……

16．1^2+2^2+3^2+....+10^2=（告诉你得数），问 2^2 + 4^2 + 6^2 +...+20^2=

2^2*告诉你的得数

17．一题几何题：长方形中从左下自右上有一条对角线，把长方形分割成两个三角形。长方形的左宽的中点又把上方的三角形分成两个三角形，把长方形的下底平分三分的三个点与长方形右顶点相连，把下方的三角形再分成三分。至此，这个长方形被分割成5个三角形。求这个长方形的面积。（和以前机经里的不同）

1）知道上面某个三角形的面积

2）知道下面某个三角形的面积

应该选D

18．根号(4+9)/(根号4+根号9)=

看到这个题我就更慌了……于是我算了三遍

19．A，B，C，D都可以用2^n表示且0<A<B<C<D，问A，B，C，D分别是多少

1）A+B+C+D=170

2）A*B*C*D=2^16

好像选A，不知道对不对。

20．N是两位数，问N是否小于30

1）个位减十位等于7

2）忘了

反正算出来都可以，选D

Verbal

RC人品爆棚，4篇都遇到了机经！！！

1．商业扩张  跨行业并购  美欧加拿大比较

P1美国企业的分工运营趋式的形成被认为是受到反托拉斯法的影响，但事实并非如此, 因为1970-1980年里的横向并购并没有减少，且许多都发生在大公司。（这段中提到说以往的观点是不对的，如果以往的观点是正确的，那么某某某就应该是这个样子的。有T）

P2分工运营是经济环境下的大趋势，因为加拿大英国，虽然没有反托拉斯法的限制，分工化也在它们的企业里发生。

2．美国经济增长变缓原因何在（原题！！！）

(This passage is excerpted from material published in 1997)

Whereas United States economic productivity grew at an annual rate of 3 percent from 1945 to 1965 it has grown at an annual rate of only about 1 percent since the early 1970’s. What might be preventing higher productivity growth? Clearly, the manufacturing sector of the economy cannot be blamed. Since 1980, productivity improvements in manufacturing have moved the United States from a position of acute decline in manufacturing to one of world prominence. Manufacturing, however, constitutes a relatively small proportion of the economy. In 1992, goods producing businesses employed only 19.1 percent of American workers, whereas service-producing businesses employed 70 percent. Although the service sector has grown since the late 1970’s, its productivity growth has declined.      Several explanations have been Offered for this declined and for the discrepancy in productivity growth between the manufacturing and service sectors. One is that traditional measures fail to reflect service-sector productivity growth because it has been concentrated in improved quality of services. Yet traditional measures of manufacturing productivity have shown significant increases despite the under measurement of quality, whereas service productivity has continued to stagnate. Others argue that since the 1970’s, manufacturing workers, faced with strong foreign competition, have learned to work more efficiently in order to keep their jobs in the United States, but service workers, who are typically under less global competitive pressure, have not. However, the pressure on manufacturing workers in the United States to work more efficiently has  generally been overstated, often for political reasons. In fact, while some manufacturing jobs have been lost due to foreign competition, many more have been lost simply because of slow growth in demand for manufactured goods.

       Yet another explanation blames the federal budget deficit: if it were lower, interest rate would be lower   too, thereby increasing investment in the development of new technologies, which would spur productivity growth in the service sector. There is, however, no dearth of technological resources, rather, managers in the service sector fail to take advantage of widely available skills and machines. High productivity growth levels attained by leading edge service companies indicate that service sector managers who wisely implement available technology and choose skillful workers can significantly improve their companies’ productivity. The culprits for service-sector productivity stagnation are the forces－such as corporate takeovers and unnecessary governmental regulation－that distract managers from the task of making optimal use of available resources.

T-3-Q33

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the budget deficit explanation for the discrepancy mentioned in line 27?

A.    Research shows that the federal budget deficit has traditionally caused service companies to invest less money in research and development of new technologies.

B.    New technologies have been shown to play a significant role in companies that have been able to increase their service productivity.

C.    In both service sector and manufacturing, productivity improvements are concentrated in gains in quality.

D.    The service sector typically requires larger investments in new technology in order to maintain productivity growth than dose manufacturing

E.    High interest rates tend to slow the growth of manufacturing productivity as much as they slow the growth of service-sector productivity in the United States.

T-3-Q34

The passage states which of the following about the effect of foreign competition on the American manufacturing sector since the 1970’s?

A.    It has often been exaggerated.

B.    It has not been a direct cause of job loss.

C.    It has in large part been responsible for the subsequent slowing of productivity growth.

D.    It has slowed growth in the demand for manufactured goods in the United States.

E.    It has been responsible for the majority of American jobs lost in manufacturing.

However, the pressure on manufacturing workers in the United States to work more efficiently has generally been overstated,

T-3-Q35

It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following was true of the United States manufacturing sector in the years immediately prior to 1980?

A.    It was performing relatively poorly.

B.    It was in a position of world prominence.

C.    It was increasing its productivity at an annual rate of 3 percent.

D.    It was increasing its productivity at an annual rate of 1 percent.

E.    Its level of productivity was higher than afterward.

Since 1980, productivity improvements in manufacturing have moved the United States from a position of acute decline in manufacturing to one of world prominence.

T-3-Q36

The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about productivity improvements in United States service companies?

A.    Such improvements would be largely attributable to efficiencies resulting from corporate takeovers.

B.    Such improvements would depend more on wise implementation of technology than on managers’ choice of skilled workers.

C.    Such improvements would be more easily accomplished if there were fewer governmental regulations of the service sector.

D.    Such improvements would require companies to invest heavily in the development of new technologies.

E.    Such improvements would be attributable primarily to companies’ facing global competitive pressure.

The culprits for service-sector productivity stagnation are the forces－such as corporate takeovers and unnecessary governmental regulation－that distract managers from the task of making optimal use of available resources.

看到这篇的时候我热血沸腾，想都没想就把答案全点上了，不知道会不会点得太快，不算呀……所以各位XDJM以后再遇到类似的好事，一定要放慢一点！

3．中西文化背景下的人之间的沟通差异（直接表达和间接表达）长，但是文章、题目都不难，文章就像记叙文，挺有意思。

P1 WESTERN的人沟通起来直接而清楚，NON-WESTERN则相对含蓄。直接表达对西方人与西方人，西方人与西方人交流都没有问题。含蓄的表达NON-WESTERN之间OK，东西方人之间就不OK，会出现交流理解障碍。

P2 一个（好像是西方的manager）人的认识：NON-WESTERN给出了一个积极肯定的答复，而NON-WESTERN其实只是点点头，表示他们在听而已（有T）。

P3 发生在那个一个西方的manager身上的沟通差异的例子，表现了沟通差异给沟通的人带来的效果。（什么有个西方人用电子邮件直接反映团队存在的问题，受到manager的表扬，却遭到日本团队成员的疏远和鄙视之类，如果换一种方式含蓄反映问题，结果可能会更好。有T）

4．Ice age地球变冷的研究

P1：科学家一直搞不定有关地球变冷的问题。一个科学家用一种只能在温暖地带生的植物作为指示研究当时地球的温度变化。研究发现热带海洋降温不太多，不像地球上其它地方那样变化大。但是这个理论有何某个新的发现冲突，于是这哥们又搞了个研究，后来还可海洋学家勾搭上了………………最后说虽然这个理论不完善，但是为Ice age地球的不同地区降温不同的理论提供了ground。

我的阅读做得非常顺利，估计没怎么错，一篇比一篇长。再次感谢CDer的无私奉献！

CR

1．出了一道Boldface，记不清了。加粗了第一句和倒数第二句前的since

2．环保油漆。Y市打算在建筑上涂一层可以吸收空气中污染物的物质来保护环境，这种物质于污染物的化学反应强度会随着日光照射强度的增强而增强，因为Z市通过这种方法已经降低了60%的空气污染。

问削弱Y市能够通过此举降低50%的空气污染的结论

我选D“Z市日光强度比Y市强至少3倍”

3．现在很多饮用水里都加了用样物质，包括vitamin。已知vitamin如果浓度过高会使人中毒，有人说很少人一天喝这种水两次以上，所以多加点vitamin没事。

问评价。这里有两个词意思我不太清楚，但是肯定要选有关浓度，或者摄入总量的选项。

4．某地某段时间经济下滑，这段时间里2000人失业，1000新的工作被创造出来。

问解决矛盾（解释）

我选了那建了一个工厂，另一个大工厂倒闭了之类。

5．还有一道，蓝皮书有，选项没变，正确答案也没变，题目稍微改动了一下。

我遇到的题50%以上是问评价的，做的不是很顺手。

SC

感觉和OG10，OG11都不太一样。划线部分都很长，让我很畏惧！就是不知道选什么。估计错了一半以上……

平行结构不多，出现了一道，很简单。

从句、插入语考得多，要好好分析。

比较结构多，但是没有能用like上来就全能排除的。

好多都是全划线，80%划线，要调整说法，我就疯了……

用固定搭配，如from to，more than，能排除的少。

代词从来都是准确性的体现，一定要掌握好。但是这次遇到的题，代词都挺奇怪，本人CPU基本都计算不出来……只能胡选了

我前两道题都是SC，而不是所谓的新机考第一道是逻辑，所以出题都是随机的。最后一题也是SC，本来我很有把握，只不过还没点确认就……呜呜，要不然可能还能长十分……

关于PACE，我觉得要因人而异，而且要因题而异。我做阅读时间会稍长一些，如果阅读出现比较靠前时间就会相对长一些。但是一个原则：一定要抢时间！QV都是。因为越做到后面大脑越迟钝，也越容易优柔寡断，迟疑不决，而实际上呢？并不能提高正确率。在这个时候相信直觉，不推荐猜题规律，比如什么请况下选A，什么情况下选E。毕竟自己都复习了那么长时间了，自己是最可信的，你选的就是正确答案！

各位XDJM可以用Alt+N和Alt+Y代替用鼠标点击Next和Yes，以节省时间，坚守体力消耗，同时也能做到左右开弓，实现资源优化配置。各位加油吧！祝各位梦想成真！
