6. The following appeared as part of an article in a magazine devoted to regional life.
“Corporations should look to the city of Helios when seeking new business opportunities or a new location. Even in the recent recession, Helios’s unemployment rate was lower than the regional average. It is the industrial center of the region, and historically it has provided more than its share of the region’s manufacturing jobs. In addition, Helios is attempting to expand its economic base by attracting companies that focus on research and development of innovative technologies.”

AI134. (黄金80题) “Employees should not be asked to provide formal evaluations of their supervisor because they have little basis for judging or even understanding their supervisor’s performance.”
下面是我考试时写的作文， 大家看看能得几分？
Should employees evaluate their supervisor? This issue may cause a hot debate. Different people have their different opinions to this issue due to their distinct backgrounds. Some people believe that employees can effectively evaluate their supervisor, while others, like the speaker here, assert that employees should not provide evaluations about their supervisor. In my point of view, I advocated the former that the employees can provide effective evaluation about their supervisor. In the following paragraphs I would like to explore several main reasons to support my point.
To begin with, the employees often work closely with their supervisor and certainly clearly know about their supervisor’s performance, thus having the basis to evaluate their supervisor. What is a supervisor? A supervisor is the head of a department or the company. He arranges work for his employees and supervises their performance. He also helps the workers resolve the problems in the work. Due to the above responsibilities, the supervisor has to spend a lot of time staying with his employees. Therefore the employees know a lot about their supervisor and have the basis for judging and understanding their supervisor’s performance. Any employers should hear the voice from the subordinates.
Furthermore, the employees can evaluate their supervisors from different angles with the employers. Together with such evaluation, the employers can evaluate the supervisor’s performance correctly and completely. Supervisor is the middle-level management of the corporate. He not only supervises the work and performance of the employees, but also reports his achievement or problems in his work to his boss. Both his employers and his subordinates know him best but from different angles. The employers care for the supervisor’s achievement while the employees stress the supervisor’s technical skills, leadership and even the personalities. Thus, giving the employees an opportunity to evaluate their supervisor, the employers will get a correct and complete picture of the supervisor's performance.
.Finally, the evaluation of the subordinates to the supervisor is very important to the development of the company. A good supervisor should be appreciated by both his employers and employees. If a supervisor is evaluated highly by his subordinates, his subordinates would support him to fulfill his work goal; if a supervisor is looked down by his workers, the workers will be reluctant to help their supervisor to complete the tasks, which undoubtedly decrease the productivity and harm the organization. Thus, the employees’ evaluation of their supervisor is really valuable.
In conclusion, employees worked with their supervisor almost every working day and know about their supervisor’s performance very well, therefore they have solid basis to evaluate their supervisor. A good supervisor will certainly be respected by his subordinates while a poor supervisor does not. Hence, the employees’ evaluation for their supervisor is very important to the company. （这是前两天自己学写的，考试时completely copy)

sorry, 我试着努力回忆那道让我只得50的题，但还是记不起来。因为我当时就没有看懂。前面20题当时让我痛苦不已。在看时间只剩下25分钟，而我还有17题就慌了，所以就随便猜了过答案。没想到此题一过，后面都是很普通的题。居然最后还多余3分钟，搞得我心里很是不爽，以为前面20题错了不少，否则后面的题怎么这么弱智？当时心里那个难受啊！只想cancel掉。此种心情直接影响到我做verbal.

Q17:
The spacing of the four holes on a fragment of a bone flute excavated at a Neanderthal campsite is just what is required to play the third through sixth notes of the diatonic scale—the seven-note musical scale used in much of Western music since the Renaissance. Musicologists therefore hypothesize that the diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis?
- Bone flutes were probably the only musical instrument made by Neanderthals. （无关）
- No musical instrument that is known to have used a diatomic scale is of an earlier date than the flute found at the Neanderthal campsite. （无关，如果是没有其他的scales演奏需要那样的holes的位置则对）
- The flute was made from a cave-bear bone and the campsite at which the flute fragment was excavated was in a cave that also contained skeletal remains of cave bears. (无关,最多只能说明flute使用cave bear的skeleton做的)
- Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale. （无关）
- The cave-bear leg bone used to make the Neanderthal flute would have been long enough to make a flute capable of playing a complete diatonic scale. （搭桥法—correct answer）
（前提：the spacing of the four holes on a fragment of a bone flute….is just what is required to play the third through sixth notes of the diatonic scale. 结论：the diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians. 答案方向：搭桥法或排除他因）

Newspaper editorial:
In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditions harsher. Part of this effort has been to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses. However, this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal, since after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
- Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed.
- Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.
- The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released. (my answer)
- Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate’s subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.
- The governor’s ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime.
(磁体的正确答案应该是C, not A. C起非后可以理解为“因果倒置”进行反对，og 和以前的考题中很多是采用这种方法进行weaken)
3.
An overwhelming proportion of the most productive employees at SaleCo’s regional offices work not eight hours a day, five days a week, as do other SaleCo employees, but rather ten hours a day, four days a week, with Friday off. Noting this phenomenon, SaleCo’s president plans to increase overall productivity by keeping the offices closed on Fridays and having all employees work the same schedule—ten hours a day, four days a week.
Which of the following, if true, provides the most reason to doubt that the president’s plan, if implemented, will achieve its stated purpose?
- Typically, a SaleCo employee’s least productive hours in the workplace are the early afternoon hours.
- None of the employees who work four days a week had volunteered to work that schedule, but all were assigned to it by their supervisors.
- Working ten hours a day has allowed the most productive employees to work two hours alone each day in their respective offices relatively undisturbed by fellow employees. (correct answer).
- Employees at SaleCo are compensated not on the basis of how many hours a week they work but on the basis of how productive they are during the hours they are at work.
- Those SaleCo employees who have a four-day workweek do not take any of their office work to do at home on Fridays.

感想：（美时间可以不看）
9月22号考过一次GMAT (680 M49, v32) 当时我在queen's MBA 读书的哥们说不用再考了，赶紧把essay写好吧，这个最重要。我就听了他的鬼话去写essay. 过了两周受到writing只有3.5. that guy said is not good, please take GMAT again. I have no choice but to take the test again on Oct.21,(690, M49,V35). i thought that the writing is better than the last time and would be at least 5.0, however after 3 weeks when i receive the letter of ETS, it's only 4.0; that guy also said :take again! i answered: Fuck, are you kiding? i did not want to take the test any more. Until i finished all my essay at Oct. 20, i thaught whether i should take the test again? MY wife encouraged me to take again because she thaught i did not express my potient on Gmat. So i registered.
GMAT is not all of the life, we spent most of invaluable time on this stupid exam, it is unfair. After the stuff of the test center gave me the transcript, a white guy who also take the GMAT saw my point, he is so surprise, he just got 650，but he said it is enough. I told him i took three times to take the exam and the point each time, he cannot understand why i took again. I said all chinese people all took high point, so the business schools only compared the chinese student with the chinese student when they choose the candidates.
Just like my friend of Queen's MBA said: it is true that 690 is above the average of Queen's GMAT, but is below the average of point of Chinese students. i do not know how to say that?
