"AA1：The following appeared as part of a plan proposed by an executive of the Easy Credit Company to the president.
“The Easy Credit Company would gain an advantage over competing credit card services if we were to donate a portion of the proceeds from the use of our cards to a well-known environmental organization in exchange for the use of its symbol or logo on our card. Since a recent poll shows that a large percentage of the public is concerned about environmental issues, this policy would attract new customers, increase use among existing customers, and enable us to charge interest rates that are higher than the lowest ones available.”

“Commercial real estate prices have been rising steadily in the Sandida Heights neighborhood for several years, while the prices in the adjacent neighborhood of Palm Grove have remained the same. It seems obvious, then, that a retail space in Sandida Heights must now be much more expensive than a similar space in Palm Grove, which was not the case several years ago. So, it appears that retail spaces in Sandida Heights are now overpriced relative to those in Palm Grove. Therefore, it would be in our financial interest to purchase a retail space in Palm Grove rather than in Sandida Heights.”" 1 4 参考56楼思路

“In the first four years that Montoya has served as mayor of the city of San Perdito, the population has decreased and the unemployment rate has increased. Two businesses have closed for each new business that has opened. Under Varro, who served as mayor for four years before Montoya, the unemployment rate decreased and the population increased. Clearly, the residents of San Perdito would be best served if they voted Montoya out of office and reelected Varro." 1 2 AWA224-11作者: pubman 时间: 2010-7-21 16:51

“A recent review of the West Cambria volunteer ambulance service revealed a longer average response time to accidents than was reported by a commercial ambulance squad located in East Cambria.

“Research indicates that those who exercise regularly are hospitalized less than half as often as those who don’t exercise. By providing a well-equipped gym for Saluda’s 8，

the large increase in foot traffic into the store. While the Disc Depot’s owners have apparently become wealthy enough to retire, profits at Carlo’s
Clothing have remained stagnant for the past three years. In order to boost our sales and profits, we should therefore switch from newspaper advertising to
frequent radio advertisements like those for Disc Depot.”" 1 1 "新题库

either free of charge on the Internet or for a very low price perbook on CD-ROM.* People who would not pay bookstore prices will nowhave access to whatever book they want from their home or workcomputers. Consequently, literary classics are likely to be read morewidely than ever before: 72 percent of those responding to a recentonline survey said they would read books in electronic form, and 81percent said they believed that reading classic works was important.Given this newly developing market, we should invest in E-Classics, anew company that sells electronic versions of literary classics." 1 1 AWA224-100
16，"AA1：The following appeared as part of an annual report sent to stockholders by Olympic Foods, a processor of frozen foods.
“Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And 40since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday, we can expect that our long experience will enable us to minimize costs and thus maximize profits.”" 1 2 AWA224-109

25，AA6：“There is a common misconception that university hospitals are better than community or private hospitals. This notion is unfounded, however: the university hospitals in our region employ 15 percent fewer doctors, have a 20 percent lower success rate in treating patients, make far less overall profit, and pay their medical staff considerably less than do private hospitals. Furthermore, many doctors at university hospitals typically divide their time among teaching, conducting research, and treating patients. From this it seems clear that the quality of care at university hospitals is lower than that at other kinds of hospitals.” 有一种普遍的错误观念认为大学医院比社区或私人医院更好。这个想法是无根据的，我们地区的大学医院较之私人医院，少雇15%的医生，对患者的治愈率要低20%，总体利润要小得多，给一户员工的待遇比私人医院低很多。而且，很多大学医院的医生将他们的时间分为教学，直到研究和看病几部分。从此可明显看出大学医院的服务质量比其他医院低。 1 1 新题库44作者: pubman 时间: 2010-7-21 16:59

“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.”" 1 2 AWA224-104

“Across town in the Park Hill district, the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizza, and the Niblick Golf Club have all had
business increases over the past two years. Capital Idea should therefore invest in the Roxy Playhouse, the Slice-o’-
Pizza, and the Divot Golf Club, three new businesses in the Irongate district. As a condition, we should require them
to participate in a special program: Any customer who patronizes two of the businesses will receive a substantial
discount at the third. By motivating customers to patronize all three, we will thus contribute to the profitability of each
and maximize our return.”
在ParkHill区的Thespian剧院，Pizzazz比萨，Niblick高尔夫俱乐部在过去2年都有业务增长。因此Capital Idea应该投资Poxy剧场，Slic－o比萨和Divot高尔夫俱乐部这3家新的Irongate区的企业。为使他们达到条件，我们应该要求他们参加特殊的项目：任何顾客在其中两家消费将在第三家得到折扣。通过刺激顾客在所有3家店消费，我们将增进每一家的利润，从而使我们的回报最大化。 " 1 1 新题库115作者: pubman 时间: 2010-7-21 17:07

“Over the past decade, the price per pound of citrus fruit has increased substantially. Eleven years ago, Megamart charged 5 cents apiece for lemons, but today it commonly charges over 30 cents apiece. In only one of these last eleven years was the weather unfavorable for growing citrus crops. Evidently, then, citrus growers have been responsible for the excessive increase in the price of citrus fruit, and strict pricing regulations are needed to prevent them from continuing to inflate prices.”" 1 2 AWA224-89
34，"AA5：Jetsam design company did not make any profit in the last three years in
a row. Leading companies of auto industry have made profit in recent years by replacing those full-time workers with temporary workers and the industry can save employee benefit costs and make profit. Thus, according to auto industry's experience, the design company should switch 15% of its workers with temporary labor." 1 1
36，"AA2：“Studies have found that employees of not-for-profit organizations and charities are often more highly motivated than
employees of for-profit corporations to perform well at work when their performance is not being monitored or evaluated. Interviews with employees of not- for-profit organizations suggest that the reason for their greater motivation is the belief that their work helps to improve society. Because they believe in the importance of their work, they have personal reasons to perform well, even when no financial reward is present. Thus, if our corporation began donating a significant portion of its profits to humanitarian causes, our employees’ motivation and productivity would
increase substantially and our overall profits would increase as well.”

说一家商店（Gourmont 可能没拼对）过去都是高增长，但最近利润下降。他们家的顾客都是高消费群体，如喜欢买贵的东西及需要一些专家服务之类的，然后为了提升利润，需要eliminate some product , 还说要当地的一家咖啡店合作（partner 关系）去吸引新的顾客。然后利润就会提高之类的

45，"AA3：航空公司那个，说油价涨了，利润下降了，但是其它的航空公司油价也涨了，但是其它公司却又得获利了，所以这个航空公司就把责任归到他们多加了5辆飞机上面，说要想获利，就要取消那5辆飞机。
V2：AW 航空公司的business analyst 给公司发的一封信
公司去年利润下降了20%，可能的原因有两个：一是去年油价上涨，导致燃料成本上升，二是去年公司新开了airlines to five cities。但是去年仍有一些airlines的利润得到了改善，考虑到所有的airlines都受到了油价上涨的影响，但是有的盈利了，所以油价不是公司亏损的原因。排除油价后，可能的原因就只能是新的airlines，所以建议公司取消新的airlines。

19 3次
说有个航空公司利润下降了，因为燃料费涨了，年初又新开辟了几条航线增加了成本。不过所有其它航空公司都有盈利，说明不是燃料费涨了的问题，而是新航线的问题。所以应该取消这些新航线。
V2：首先是去年有个 airline's profit declined by 20%， the oil cost increased and this airline add 5 new flights（机经这里写的是新航线~但是我觉得flights应该是又买了几个飞机吧）所以这个公司认为at least one of them cause the declined profit. 但是由于全行业都面临油价上涨，some airlines 利润却上涨了，所以这家航空公司觉得就是new flights的问题~所以决定今天初应该eliminate these new flights
