awa:    argument---114. The following appeared in a memorandum from the director of research and development at Ready-to-Ware, a software engineering firm.

“The package of benefits and incentives that Ready-to-Ware offers to professional staff is too costly. Our quarterly profits have declined since the package was introduced two years ago, at the time of our incorporation. Moreover, the package had little positive effect, as we have had only marginal success in recruiting and training high-quality professional staff. To become more profitable again, Ready-to-Ware should, therefore, offer the reduced benefits package that was in place two years ago and use the savings to fund our current research and development initiatives.”

数学：有很多机井， 大约8，9道的样子，总体来说不难，我做完数学还剩了30多分钟，当时都疯了，觉得做这么快肯定出问题了。最后成绩出来是50，大出我意料之外。不过前十题里面有一个我还没看懂，讲的挺奇怪的，耽误了我5－6分，最后实在忍不了了，就随便选了一个，估计是测试题最后没有算分，题目现在我也给忘了........

题目：（1）3男5女中选3个人，至少有一个男的概率    （机井）

           （2）3x的多少percent 等于 30%的80%的x？      （好像是机井）

          （3）K是一个三位整数,求 K^4 /10的余数 (1) K不能被5整除，(2)K是偶数   （好像是新题）

         解:这个题我有十足的把握，选c。k的四次方个位数只能取0，1，5，6（大家算算0－9的四次方试试），条件一说明k不是5的倍数，所以四次方个位数不可以为0，5；条件二说明k不是2的倍数，所以四次方个位数不可以为0，6。 这样1＋2，确定四次方个位数为1

          （4）Y>=3, X>=2, Y<=9-X，问相交的面积?

           (5)第一排前十个正数，第二排是第一排除二的余数，问第二排的和  （1）第一排六个偶数 （2）第一排和为100  （机井）

         （6）X>绝对值（X-4），求x范围。 （机井）

       （7）一个长方形房间，天花板正中间有一盏灯，问从这盏灯发出的光线到这间房中任意点的最远距离是多少。数字忘了，反正给出了长方体房间的长宽高，所求的最远距离就是一个直角三角形的斜边。该直角三角形以高为一条直角边，1/2底面矩形的对角线为另一条直角边。 （好像是新题）

       （8） 5^x/5^y=? 1) x-y=5; 2) x+y=11   （机井）

               （9）20 weeks, Mary works x minutes on Mon. Wed. Fri. and y minutes on other weekdays. the average working hour per day is ? （机井）

           （10）集合{r,s,t,u,w}, 问这个集合有多少个不含t 的子集  （机井）

Verbal：

逻辑——说是给老鼠一种m物质，可以使老鼠某个器官里的细菌渗透到血液中，导致血液中毒。后来科学家发现给老鼠m物质的同时再给老鼠t药物，就可以大大降低老鼠血液中毒的可能。所以科学家说t药物对细菌有毒性，可以杀死细菌。问削弱

     很确定的答案：t药物可以阻止细菌从器官中进入血液。

阅读——碰到了那篇撇脂定价和印度女作家写的agan小说的阅读，大家可以在阅读机井里找。感觉印度女作家那篇有点难，文学生词多，大家别慌

   还有一篇我大概能记住的：说是科学家一直很奇怪m类动物在p时代的大规模灭绝。然后列举了在亚洲、非洲等地都是什么时候灭绝，在大洋洲美洲什么时候灭绝。科学家推测它们的灭绝不可能和气候有关，然后说明理由。科学家同时推测和早期人类活动及捕猎有关系，说明理由。第二段开始反驳前一种说法，一是没有足够的化石证据。二是作者认为猎杀那种大型动物在现代都需要rife之类的武器，在原始人类是不可能的。最后好像说这个现象还是没有得到很好的解释。

还有一篇想不起来了，呵呵

祝大家考试顺利！
