有几题题目不全，所以看不懂：

t11-s1-9

9. Paleontologists have discovered fossils of centipedes that are 414 million years older than the earliest land-dwelling animals previously identified. The paleontologists are confident that these centipedes were discovered in rock that also contained fossilized remained of animals known to be water-dwelling.

The paleontologists¡¯ view would be LEAST

(A) The legs of the fossilized centipedes were particularly suited to being a means of locomotion on land.

(B) All of the centipedes that had previously been discovered were land dwellers.

(C) The rock in which the fossilized centipedes were found was formed from mud flats that were occasionally covered by river water.

(D) Fossils of the earliest land-dwelling animals that had previously been identified were found in rock that did not contain fossilized remains of water-dwelling animals.

(E) Fossils of spiders with respiratory systems adapted only to breathing air were found in the same rock as the centipede fossils.

问题不全“The paleontologists¡¯ view would be LEAST。。。。”

21. The Japanese haiku is defined as a poem of three lines with five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line. English poets tend to ignore this fact. Disregarding syllable count, they generally call any three-line English poets have little respect for foreign traditions, even those from which some of their own poetry derives.

The reasoning is flawed because it

(A) confuses matters of objective fact with matters of subjective feeling

(B) draws a conclusion that is broader in scope than is warranted by the evidence advanced

(C) relies on stereotypes instead of presenting evidence

(D) overlooks the possibility that the case it cites is not unique

(E) fails to acknowledge that ignoring something implies a negative judgment about that thing

这句话不全，影响了我的理解“Disregarding syllable count, they generally call any three-line English poets have little respect for foreign traditions, even those from which some of their own poetry derives.”


24. The body of anyone infected by virus X will, after a week, produce antibodies to fight the virus: the antibodies will increase in number for the next year or so. There is now a test that reliably indicates now many antibodies are present in a person’s body. If positive, this test can be used during the first year of infection to estimate to within a month how long that person has had the virus.

Which one of the following conclusions is best supported by the statements above?

(A) Antibodies increase in number only until they have defeated the virus.

(B) Without the test for antibodies, there is no way of establishing whether a person has virus X.

(C) Antibodies are produced only for viral infections that cannot be fought by any other body defenses.

(D) If a person remains infected by virus X indefinitely, there is no limit to the number of antibodies that can be present in the person’s body.

(E) Anyone infected by virus X will not a time fail to exhibit infection if tested by the antibody test

答案E,我不太理解

我也有两题不明白

21. In response to high mortality in area hospitals, surgery was restricted to emergency procedures during a five-week period. Mortality in these hospitals was found to have fallen by nearly one-third during the period. The number of deaths rose again when elective surgery (surgery that can be postponed) was resumed. It can be concluded that ,before the five --week period, the risks of elective surgery had been incurred unnecessarily often in the area.

Which one of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the conclusion above?

(A) The conclusions for which elective surgery was performed would in the long run have been life-threatening, and surgery for them would have become riskier with time.

(B) The physicians planning elective surgery performed before the five-week period had fully informed the patients who would undergo it of the possible risks of the procedures.

(C) Before the suspension of elective surgery, surgical operations were performed in area hospitals at a higher rate, per thousand residents of the area, than was usual elsewhere.

(D) Elective surgery is, in general, less risky than is emergency surgery because the conditions requiring or indicating surgery are often less severe.

(E) Even if a surgical procedure is successful, the patient can die of a hospital-contracted infection with a bacterium that is resistant to antibiotic treatment.

答案 A。为什么D不行

Zachary: One world have to be blind to the reality of moral obligation to deny that people who believe a course of action to be morally obligatory for them have both the right and the duty to pursue that action, and that no one else has any right to stop them form doing so.

Cynthia: But imagine an artist who feels morally obliged to do whatever she can to prevent works of art from being destroyed confronting a morally committed antipornography demonstrator engaged in destroying artworks he deems pornographic. According to your principle that artist has, simultaneously, both the right and the duty to stop the destruction and no right whatsoever to stop it.

15. Which one of the following, if substituted for the scenario invoked by Cynthia, would preserve the force of her argument?

(A) a medical researcher who feels a moral obligation not to claim sole credit for work that was performed in part by someone else confronting another researcher who feels no such moral obligation

(B) a manufacturer who feels a moral obligation to recall potentially dangerous products confronting a consumer advocate who feels morally obliged to expose product defects

(C) an investment baker who believes that governments are morally obliged to regulate major industries confronting and investment banker who holds that governments nave a moral obligation not to interfere with market forces

(D) an architect who feels amoral obligation to design only energy-efficient buildings confronting, as a potential client, a corporation that believes its primary moral obligation is to maximize shareholder profits

(E) a health inspector who feels morally obliged to enforce restrictions on the number of cats a householder may keep confronting a householder who, feeling morally obliged to keep every stray that comes along ,has over twice that number of cats

9。题目，问题都不全
Paleontologists have discovered fossils of centipedes that are 414 million years older。These fossiles are at least 20 million years older than the earliest land-dwelling animals previously identified. The paleontologists are confident that these centipedes lived on land, even though the fossilized centipedes were discovered in rock that also contained fossilized remained of animals known to be water-dwelling.

The paleontologists's view would be LEAST supported by the truth of which one of the following?  

21。不全
Disregarding syllable count, they generally call any three-line English poem with a" haiku feel" a haiku. This demonstrates that English poets have little respect for foreign traditions, even those from which some of their own poetry derives.”

24。E答案有问题 是for a time不是not a time

这套我错了9个，你所花时间怎样？

to zyh79,

我做一个section一般都在50 min,昨天又做了一个section,错了7 个，现在正确率是明显提高了，可就是速度提不上，你呢？

21题，答案B是不是说结论的范围（traditions)远远超过了证据所能证明的范围（the syllables of the Japanese Haiku)?

24题，我不太理解，再给我解释解释吧。

bessette,
21。我想是这个意思：
    原文只说english poets忽略了一个事实，结论却说poets对国外传统不尊敬。
    这样的一个结论是论据所不能证明的。
24。E答案说用抗体实验检验，人们有一段时间将不会暴露感染特征
    从第一话得到：感染者在一个星期后才会产生抗体，这一个星期内，抗体实验是检验不出来的。

明白，谢谢！

bessette，
我的速度比你快5-7分钟，准确率跟你差不多，呵呵
感觉：现在这段时间最重要了，每天要回归作一些gmat题了
      有时，真觉得lsat更好做一些，你快考了吧？

test2-Section II-18.
18.Learning how to build a nest plays an important part in the breeding success of birds. For example, Dr. Snow has recorded the success of a number of blackbirds in several successive years. He finds that birds nesting for the first time are less successful in breeding than are older birds, and also less successful than they themselves are a year later. This cannot be a mere matter of size and strength, since blackbirds, like the great majority of birds, are fully grown when they leave the nest. it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that they benefit by their nesting experience.

Which one of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument?

Why the ans is :
(B) The capacity of blackbirds to lay viable eggs increases with each successive trial during the first few years of reproduction.

我25号考，你呢？

回归GMAT做PP3逻辑汇总就可以了吗？PP3逻辑汇总就是那121道题，而且选项没有ABCDE的？

多交流！
