8.22 北美 Q49 V40 TOTAL 730
AA: 62、The following appeared in the letters-to-the-editor section of a local newspaper.“Muscle Monthly, a fitness magazine that regularly features pictures of bodybuilders using state-of-the-art exercise machines, frequently sells out, according to the owner of Skyview Newsstand. To help maximize fitness levels in our town's residents, we should, therefore, equip our new community fitness center with such machines.”
AI: 2、“It is unrealistic to expect individual nations to make, independently, the sacrifices necessary to conserve energy. International leadership and worldwide cooperation are essential if we expect to protect the world’s energy resources for future generations.”
我记性不是太好所以能贡献的JJ有限，但觉得不管多少对后来的XDJM都有帮助所以还是写了一些！
DS: 一个公司开会，女职员只带3只笔和男职员只带2只笔，问分别有几个男职员，几个女职员参加了这个会议?
（1）一共有26只笔
（2）一共有11个人（数字不确定）
我选的C，因为从条件（1）可以推出男2女10，或者男1女8，所以不充分。加上条件2是可以算出来的（我条件2 的数字记不清楚了，但是很简单）。
PS：类似本月JJ 117. 10产品给出质量好的个数，给出质量差的个数，让你求任取一个质量好的概率。
PS：给出一个公司某数据12个星期的average是n, 把其中一个星期的数字24替换成另外一个数字后，average变成n-3/4. 问替换了24的那个数是多少。选项有15，18，23，24，33。我很菜的，这一题作的完全没有把握，我选了18。
DS：一个老JJ，给出一个方程ax-by=c, 然后告诉你这条线的斜率是2/3，问你b是多少？
（1）a/b = 一个数（数字给出）
（2）c/b = 一个数（数字也给出）
我选了A。
PS: 本月JJ 134 的变体：两个pizza一个切成6片，一个切成8片，求切成6片的一片占整个pizza的比率比切成8片的占整个pizza的比率。（和jj 一样，就是求两个圆心角度的比例）4/3
PS: 给出一个直线方程问一下哪个与它垂直。记住垂直两条线斜率的乘积=-1就行了。
PS: 一道很简单的组合题，具体题目记不清楚了！算出来结果是C512=(12)(11)(2)(3),抬头一看几个选项中没有一个相同，因为我排列组合基础较差，只好重新看一遍题目再做，结果还是一样！我想ETS肯定有搞鬼！我就把12*11*2*3=792 然后把选项中看着比较靠近一个B: (8)(9)(11) 的也算出来正好就是792。哼。原来ETS故意把选项写成不同形式，阴险！大家要小心这一类的tricks。
PS：同本月JJ77，某人收入增长了15%，工作小时减少了10%，问每小时收入增长了多少%。
PS: （有图）一个正方形square上面连着一个等边三角形，告诉你正方形的边长=8。求整个图形的面积（正方形+三角形）。不难
下面说说verbal JJ：
我想提醒大家一句，实战的时候看到GWD或者类似GWD的题目一定要以对新题态度来对待，因为ETS肯定有每道题有很多版本，尽管今天我碰到了几题貌似GWD的，但结果都是变种了的！最坏的是，他的变种里面居然还是有类似或者和GWD中答案一样的选项，如果看不都仔细看就直接选，肯定很容易上当，请大家务必注意啊！！！
1. 逻辑填空题 (GWD13-7的变种)
A significant number of Qualitex Corporation’s department heads are due to retire this year. The number of employees other than current department heads who could take on the position of department head is equal to only about half of the expected vacancies. Oualitex is not going to hire department heads from outside the company, have current department heads take over more than one department or reduce the number of its department, so some departments will be without department heads next year, since Qualitex ______.
我选的E, will not offer additional incentives to persuade the retirement age department heads to postpone their retirement. （大概意思不是原话）。
GWD13-7的版本
Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
A significant number of Qualitex Corporation’s department heads are due to retire this year. The number of employees other than current department heads who could take on the position of department head is equal to only about half of the expected vacancies. Oualitex is not going to hire department heads from outside the company or have current department heads take over more than one department, so some departments will be without department heads next year unless Qualitex ______.
- promotes some current department heads to higher-level managerial positions
- raises the salary for department heads
- reduces the number of new employees it hires next year
- reduces the average number of employees per department
- reduces the number of its departments
就改了一句话，整个题目就不一样了！
2. support 题
某个地方他们那里冬天的将雪量比秋天要大，然而秋天因为树枝被雪压断造成的汽车房屋伤害却比冬天的多。有人说是因为秋天的数上有叶子，比较容易积雪，所以比较容易折断。选一下哪一个支持这个观点：我选的是有一种常青树（evergreen tree），它的树枝折断所造成的损伤在秋天和冬天数量基本一致。
3. 天山7-11:
In 1992 outlaw fishing boats began illegally harvesting lobsters from the territorial waters of the country of Belukia. Soon after, the annual tonnage of lobster legally harvested in Belukian waters began declining; in 1996, despite there being no reduction in the level of legal lobster fishing activity, the local catch was 9,000 tons below pre-1992 levels. It is therefore highly likely that the outlaw fishing boats harvested about 9,000 tons of lobster illegally that year.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. The illegal lobster harvesting was not so extensive that the population of catchable lobsters in Belukia’s territorial waters had sharply declined by 1996.
B. The average annual lobster catch, in tons, of an outlaw fishing boat has increased steadily since 1992.
C. Outlaw fishing boats do not, as a group, harvest more lobsters than do licensed lobster-fishing boats.
D. The annual legal lobster harvest in Belukia in 1996 was not significantly less than 9,000 tons.
E. A significant proportion of Belukia’s operators of licensed lobster-fishing boats went out of business between 1992 and 1996.
4. GWD 13-28:
Fossils of the arm of a sloth found in Puerto Rico in 1991, and dated at 34 million years old, made it the earliest known mammal of the Greater Antilles islands.
- sloth found in Puerto Rico in 1991, and dated at 34 million years old, made it the earliest known mammal of
- sloth, that they found in Puerto Rico in 1991, has been dated at 34 million years old, thus making it the earliest mammal known on
- sloth that was found in Puerto Rico in 1991, was dated at 34 million years old, making this the earliest known mammal of
- sloth, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, have been dated at 34 million years old, making the sloth the earliest known mammal on
- sloth which, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, was dated at 34 million years old, made the sloth the earliest known mammal of
阅读1 JJ中已经出现的learning curve那一篇
引用 (joypainter 9th Aug 北京)
文章21： 遇到了pengpengming说的一篇“关于learning curve的，开头说传统模式认为learning curve是连续的，然后提出一个与此模式不同的phenomenon——公司采取某种新技术后员工们表现出来的earning curve是不连续的，间断的，比如在新技术刚开始实施阶段是intensive learning阶段，在初步了解使用后（joy: 这时候还有一些关于新技术的遗留问题没有解决）员工们开始学习停滞，直到有问题发生才不得不继续深入学习来解决问题（joy:这个学习-停滞的过程是不断重复的）。最后一大段提出这种现象在management中的应用价值，经理可以利用这种特性制定最合适的计划，促进新技术在运用时获得最大效应（joy:在应用初期适宜进行技术的修改，此处有题）。”
阅读2 Medical diagnostic Screen Test 医学界有一部分学者一直强调Medical diagnostic screen test 的重要性。这种sreen test就是定期对一大群并没有任何症状的人进行检查。通过这样普遍性的screen test，如果有发现问题可以尽早得出解决办法（pre-exempt treatment）。然而也有人说这种方法的是一种浪费。首先，这样大规模的检查是很昂贵的。再说了，早期诊断出病症和能够治疗病症是两回事，因为医学上的一些限制，很多情况下，就算诊断出病症，也是无法根治。而且，这种screen test还经常有错误errors。它只要有两种错误。第一种叫做false positive errors，就是当被检查的人没有病的时候，检查结果却说他有病。第二种叫做false negative errors，就是当被检查人有病的时候，却说他没有病。第一种错误是非常costly的，因为一旦检查结果是positive，医生们就需要followup treatment，还有再研究，如果最后发现其实结果的错误的话，就浪费了很多人力物力。所以医学界大部分人宁可检查结果多一点false negative errors.因为如果有人第一次被漏掉了，很有可能会在下一次的检查中被发现。
考了一道主题题，一个关于false positive and false negative errors 的细节题， 一个关于pre-exempt的细节题。
阅读3 Native American water rights gwd 原文题目都没有换 （啰嗦一句，看了这么久的jj，8月份考的基本上个个都遇到水权，请8月的考生一定要重视！！）
阅读4 最后一篇时间不够了随便看过去就不写出来误导大家了！总之是关于reduce working hours, increase real wages and thus, increase productivity的。文章不难，主要内容就是说其实reduce working hours可以increase employee morale, productivity, ...等等。还举了一个法国把工作周降到30几小时的例子。这个例子有考点。 |
