原来GMAT还要做LSAT的,我过两个星期考,不知道现在开始做还来的及吗?有很多问题要请教哎!TEST1-SECTION IV-6
Patient: Doctor, I read an article that claimed that the first few hours after birth are very important to establishing a mother-infant bond, which is the first step in building a healthy relationship. Can you assure me that my relationship with my baby has not been permanently harmed by our separation for several days after his birth?
Physician: Your relationship with your child has not been harmed by the separation. Mother-infant bonding is not like an “instant glue” that cements your relationship forever. Having your infant with you during the period immediately after birth does give your relationship a head start, but many factors are involved in building a strong and lasting relationship between a mother and her child.
The doctor does which one of the following in her reply to her patient?
A She rejects an analogy in an attempt to reduce the patient’s concern.
B She cites evidence to show that the patient’s worry is unfounded.
C She misinterprets the patient’s explanation of her concern.
D She establishes that the article that the patient read was in error.
E She names other factors that are more important in creating a mother-infant bond.

So, which is correct? I choose B, but the answer is A. Can anyone explain it for me? And what is the analogy mentioned in A?
Thanks!
不知道你们做的怎样?我现在是50分钟错一半,是不是没戏啦?

除了上面的TEST1-SECTION IV-6,还有以下几题,有谁能告诉我吗?
t1-s2-21
A low-pressure weather system is approaching P; rainfall results from about 70% of such systems in the P area. Moreover, the current season, spring, is the time of year in which thundershowers, which sometimes result from low-pressure systems, are most likely to occur in P.
Knowing which one of the following, in addition to the information above, would be most useful for determining the probability that P will have a thundershower soon?
B the percentage of spring rainfalls in P that are thundershowers
C the percentage of thundershowers in P that result from low-pressure systems
答案是B，但是C好象比B更直接，为什么不是C呢？

t1-s2-22
It is illogical to infer a second and different effect from a cause which is known only by one particular effect. This is incorrect because the inferred effect must necessarily be produced by some different characteristic of the cause than is the observed effect, which already serves entirely to describe the cause.
Which one of the following arguments makes the same logical error as the one described by the author in the passage?
A An anonymous donor gave a thousand dollars to our historical society. I would guess that that individual also volunteers at the children’s hospital.
不明白什么意思？
多谢多谢!

咦?怎么还是没有人啊?你们什么时候出关啊?我又有2提想请教:
t2-IV-10
Even if a crime that has been committed by computer is discovered and reported, the odds of being both arrested and convicted greatly favor the criminal.
Each of the following, if true, supports the claim above EXCEPT:
A The preparation of computer-fraud cases takes much more time than is required for average fraud cases, and the productivity of prosecutors is evaluated by the number of good cases made.
A的后半句是什么意思？

t2-IV-13
A: H admits that he has influence with high government officials. He further admits that he sold that influence to an environmental interest group. There can be no justification for this kind of unethical behavior.
M: I disagree that he was unethical. The group that retained H’s services is dedicated to the cause of preventing water pollution. So, in using his influence to benefit this group, H also benefited the public.
A and M disagree on whether
B the consequences of H’s behavior can ethically justify that behavior
D the meaning of ethical behavior is the same in a public situation as in a private one
应该是B对，但是我觉得D也可以吧？ D：A是从H的个人行为来看，M是从公众利益的角度来看。
多谢!

t1-s2-22我有点明白了,还要再消化消化
TEST1-SECTION IV-6：
那B She cites evidence to show that the patient’s worry is unfounded有什么错呢?

jeannette

t1-s2-22你的意思是不是说:A推出B和C,但是BC不能互推,必须由A的不同特性决定推出B或C.是这样的吗?
BTW,消息收到!

jeannette

t2-IV-13
如果选B，那就是说A,M在ethical behavior 是否有相同意思分歧，违背原文意思。
可是这提答案是B哎! 是不是你也觉得D好?

To zyh79:
上次我贴的几到提还有3提有疑问,可以再帮我看看吗? 谢谢你!

t2-IV-13
A: H admits that he has influence with high government officials. He further admits that he sold that influence to an environmental interest group. There can be no justification for this kind of unethical behavior.
M: I disagree that he was unethical. The group that retained H’s services is dedicated to the cause of preventing water pollution. So, in using his influence to benefit this group, H also benefited the public.
A and M disagree on whether
B the consequences of H’s behavior can ethically justify that behavior
D the meaning of ethical behavior is the same in a public situation as in a private one
应该是B对，但是我觉得D也可以吧？ D：A是从H的个人行为来看，M是从公众利益的角度来看。
如果选D，那就是说A,M在ethical behavior 是否有相同意思分歧，违背原文意思。

这提到底什么意思啊？A说sold that influence是unethical的，那就是对他个人行为而言；M又说sold后对环抱有好处，是从公众利益的角度来看是ethical的。所以我得出A和M对meaning of ethical behavior是有分歧的。我的理解那里有问题？

t2-IV-10
Even if a crime that has been committed by computer is discovered and reported, the odds of being both arrested and convicted greatly favor the criminal.
Each of the following, if true, supports the claim above EXCEPT:
A The preparation of computer-fraud cases takes much more time than is required for average fraud cases, and the productivity of prosecutors is evaluated by the number of good cases made.
A的后半句指公诉人的办案成果由它所办的good case决定。
那A的意思是不是就是说因为computer-fraud case的准备时间长，而公诉人的办案成果由它所办的good case决定，所以公诉人不办computer-fraud case？可是为什么准备时间长会和good case矛盾呢？

还有t1-s2-18
If the artificial is not better than the natural, to what end are all the arts of life? To dig, to plow, to build, to wear clothes – all are direct violations of the injunction to follow nature.
If the author’s argument were challenged on the grounds that the construction of building has adverse effects on the natural environment, which of the following replies might the author use to respond to the challenge logically?
A There are human activities, such as making music, that are environmentally harmless.
B Harming the environment is not an end, of purpose, of the arts of life.
C The construction could involve the use of natural, not artificial, materials.
D Constructing buildings is not an “art of life”.
E Even if the natural environment is disturbed by the construction of buildings, it is improved for human use.
选E，为什么？
