库存管理

第一段:inventory-smoothing理论/model的思想是,用库存(inventory)作为buffer,应付可能出现的产品需求的突然增长。这样公司就不用改变当前的生产,production level就会保持稳定 (这里有题)

第二段:根据这个理论,productionvariance会下降。而且如果需求增加,salesvariance会增加。但是经过科学家调查,发现productionsalesvariance要高,而且他们(或者是salesinventory,不影响整体阅读)的variancecorrelated.这说明要么这个理论有问题,要么还有其他因素影响了调查结果。

第三段:第一句话是,科学家所做的调查是基于aggregate level的(后面有问这句话的作用,我选:提供了possibility that masks对单个企业的应用)。这样一些seasonality的数据可能被忽略。但是有科学家对单个企业做调查,也不能证实这个model

题目

1
主旨题:
主要是作者提出一种理论,但是这种理论经过检验是不行的,人们找不到这个理论成立的例子

2 Production smoothing是什么意思?

我选的好像是这个东西能保证生产不会波动,就是不会有过多的高峰和低谷那个

我选的答案的大概意思是能通过库存使每个时期的生产量比较稳定


3、问提到aggregation data的作用是什么?

我选的答案to consider the possibility that it masked the applicability of the model in individual firms

语速在广告中影响

第一段:关于广告中语速和停顿对观众理解广告的影响,两派观点:M1说广告语速快好,停顿少越能使受众集中精力去听;M2反对说,语速太快和停顿越少,人们懒得去听。结果有两种可能:1.缺乏理解的时间。2.太快使人缺乏理解的motivation

第二段:实验验证:结果否定了M1的观点,证实了M2的观点。即证明了语速过快使人缺乏去听广告的motivation

主旨两派学者围绕广告语速的问题,发表不同看法,结果用实验否定一方,支持了另一方。注意区分两个人各自的观点,统一处和分歧处,是考点。

妇女地位与政党

一篇关于女性feminism的文章,是说一种传统观点认为女性在社会上的权力主要来自于家庭里的男人(husband/father..),但是第二段开始说这种观点是不对的,因为F什么著作里面没有提到,最后得出的观点就是女性社会上的权力是因为她们自身的need,而非靠男人

Traditional social science models of class groups in the United States are based on economic status and assume that women's economic status derives from association with men, typically fathers or husbands, and that women therefore have more compelling common interest with men of their own economic class than with women outside it.

Some feminist social scientists, by contrast, have argued that the basic division in American society is instead based on gender, and that the total female population, regardless of economic status, constitutes a distinct class. Social historian Mary Ryan, for example, has argued that in early-nineteenth-century America the identical legal status of working-class and middle-class free women outweighed the differences between women of these two classes:
married women, regardless of their family's wealth, did essentially the same unpaid
五无报酬的 domestic work, and none could own property or vote.


Recently, though, other feminist analysts have questioned this model, examining ways in which the condition of working-class women differs from that of middle-class women as well as from that of working-class men. Ann Oakley notes, for example, that the gap between women of different economic classes widened
in the late nineteenth century: most working-class women, who performed wage labor outside the home, were excluded from the emerging middle-class ideal of femininity centered around domesticity and volunteerism.

Question #16.
189-01
(21999-!-item-!-188;#058&000189-01)

The primary purpose of the passage is to

(A) offer sociohistorical explanations for the cultural differences between men and women in the United States

(B) examine how the economic roles of women in the United States changed during the nineteenth century

(C) consider differing views held by social scientists concerning women's class status in the United States

(D) propose a feminist interpretation of class structure in the United States

(E) outline specific distinctions between working-class women and women of the upper and middle classes

Question #17.
189-03
(22045-!-item-!-188;#058&000189-03)

It can be inferred from the passage that the most recent feminist social science research on women and class seeks to do which of the following?

(A) Introduce a divergent new theory about the relationship between legal status and gender

(B) Illustrate an implicit middle-class bias in earlier feminist models of class and gender

(C) Provide evidence for the position that gender matters more than wealth in determining class status

(D) Remedy纠正 perceived inadequacies of both traditional social science models and earlier feminist analyses of class and gender

(E) Challenge the economic definitions of class used by traditional social scientists

Question #18.
189-05
(22091-!-item-!-188;#058&000189-05)

Which of the following statements best characterizes the relationship between traditional social science models of class and Ryan's model, as described in the passage?

(A) Ryan's model differs from the traditional model by making gender, rather than economic status, the determinant of women's class status.

(B) The traditional social science model of class differs from Ryan's in its assumption that women are financially dependent on men.

(C) Ryan's model of class and the traditional social science model both assume that women work, either within the home or for pay.

(D) The traditional social science model of class differs from Ryan's in that each model focuses on a different period of American history.

(E) Both Ryan's model of class and the traditional model consider multiple factors, including wealth, marital status, and enfranchisement, in determining women's status.

广告用气味

开头despite the olfactory advertising trends。。。解释内容(好像是说olfactory能使心情愉悦)—attention on it还是很少。来了个however,说olfactory 的效果不如visualuara(忘了怎么拼了)可以测量。还说要有特定的环境才能有效果,举例说lemon味在黄色的物品下比红色的更容易被分辨。又说在闻到味之前consumer的心情就被影响了。Neverthelessolfactory advertising还是有独特的一面的

先说奢侈品的广告不能用气味。因为气味不及Label,不能帮助人们认品牌。大概意思。这里有一个小小的对比。后面有题,问大概意思啊,Label能干吗。就把气味反着说。

然后第二段吧好像,忘了分没分段了,暂且当分了。举例子说,做实验,给人们一杯黄色的和红色的水,然后说柠檬味,人们就都想的是黄色的那个。后面有题,问哪个的比喻方式和这个是一样的。有两个选项说的都是和食物有关的,有一个是说Pine,给的是绿色的液体。记得是。狗主选的是,说的是皮革,给的是车- -

类似原文

Executional cues have been the focus of much advertising research. Visual cues (pictures) and aural cues (music) have been studied extensively, yet virtually no attention has been paid to the influence of olfactory
嗅觉的 cues in advertising despite the growing trend among advertisers to use scents气味 in ads. Scents often have been used in advertisements for products in which scent is a primary attribute (e.g., perfumes, room fresheners) and, when used in that context, are a form of sampling. However, scents have also been used for products for which scent has been considered largely irrelevant. For instance, Tanqueray gin ran a pine-scented ad in USA Today, Rolls Royce advertised its cars in Architectural Digest using leather-scented strips, and the State of Utah used floral- and spice-scented panels in a four-page tourism ad. Though such uses may be intended simply as novelties, research suggests that odour气味 can influence mood state and affect judgment. Therefore, the use of scents in advertising warrants attention.

Odors differ in several ways from the pictures and sounds more familiar to advertising researchers. Compared to visual and aural cues, odors are difficult to recognize, are relatively difficult to label, may produce false alarms and create placebo安慰剂
effects. Schab (1991), in a review of the literature, concludedthat the ability to attach a name to a particular odor is so limited thatindividuals, on average, can identify only 40% to 50% of odors in a battery ofcommon odors. Additionally, consumer ability to detect and recognize odors isinfluenced by surrounding cues (Davis 1981). For example, a consumer is more likely to recognize a lemon scent whenthe scent is contained in a yellow liquid than when it is contained in a redliquid. Third, false alarms, perceiving an odor when in reality no odor is present, are relatively common (Engen 1972). Finally, researchers have shown that both emotional and physical states can be affected just by believing an odor is present. The odorant itself need not be present (Knasko, Gilbert, and Sabini 1990). That finding suggests placebo effects.

Despite the difficulties, olfactory cues hold appeal to advertisers working in an already cluttered混乱的 environment. Olfactory responses are primarily autonomic, affecting a person physiologically before affecting cognition. Odors stimulate the limbic边缘 system, the part of the brain responsible for emotional responses. Thus, olfaction represents a different path to the consumer than is afforded by other types of cues.

题目
1)好像是主旨题。

2)文中对‘ the growing trend ’一词划线,问它指什么,答案应该就是广告者增加在广告中使用气味。the growing trend among advertisers to use scents气味 in ads.

3a consumer is more likely to recognize a lemon scent when the scent is contained in a yellow
liquid than when it is contained in a red liquid.
题目是进行类比(注意题目问哪个跟那个比喻不相关),答案中有个是看见咖啡,想起小麦田(wheat farm)好像。

4Compared to visual and aural cues, odors are difficult to recognize, are relatively difficult to label, may produce false alarms and create placebo effects
这句话有考题,问关于visual and aural cues,答案应该是visual and aural cues are easier to recognize and label.

1.3.3 南丁格尔
(原文

1Two recent publications offer different assessment of the career of the famous British nurse Florence Nightingale.

(主题句,由此句和三段首句可知本文是结论解释型文章,即主要特点是总分式)A book by Anne Summers (观点之一)seeks to debunk揭穿(负评价的实义动词)the idealizations and present a reality(正评价词)at odds with争议 Nightingale’s heroic reputation. According to Summers, Nightingale’s importance during the Crimean War(和观点二比较的差别点) has been exaggerated(负评价的实义动词): not until near the war’s end did she become supervisor of the female nurses. Additionally, (递进副词,表示行文方向一致,因此后面内容可以略读,仅提炼关键词即可,或不读)Summers writes that the contribution of the nurses to the relief of the wounded was at best marginal. The prevailing problems of military medicine were caused by army organizaitonal pratices, and the addition of a few nurses to the medical staff could be no more than symbolic. Nightingale’s place in the national pantheon, Summers asserts, is largely due to the propagandistic宣传的efforts of contemporary newspaper reporters.(以上略读)

2By contrast(重要的强转折词,注意对比方/观点的差异点), the editors (对比观点二)of a new volume of Nightingale’s letters view Nightingale as a person who significantly influenced(正评价词) not only her own age but also subsequence generations. They highlight her ongoing efforts to reform sanitary conditions after the war(观点二比较的差别点,和观点一中during the Crimean War对比,这一句是后面举例的总结句,重要,知道总结句可以不用看后面的例子。). For example,(举例通常可以略读,只提取例子中的关键词,如peacetime living conditions,举例的关键看前后的总结句,这里是for example 前面的一句话,因为例子都是用来说明总结句的,只要明白总结句的意思就行了。
when she leanred that peacetime living conditions in British barracks兵营
were so horrible that the death rate of enlisted men far exceeded that of neighboring civilian populations, she succeeded in persuading the government to establish a Royal Commission on the Health of the Army. She used sums raised through public contributions to found a nurses’ training hospital in London. Even in administrative matters, the editors assert, her practical intelligence was formidable: as recently as 1947 the British Army’s medical services were still using the cost-accounting system she had devised in the 1860’s.(以上略读)

3I believe that the evidence of her letters supports(正评价词) continued respect for Nightingale’s brilliance and creativity(正评价词). (总结句后举例说明,提取关键字,略读)When counseling a village schoolmaster to encourage children to use their faculties of observation, she sounds like a modern educator. Her insistence on classifying the problems of the needy in order to devise appropriate treatments is similar to the approach of modern social workers.(以上略读) In sum(文章最后一句话通常要仔细读,此处为总结句), although (让步略读,重点是让步后的转折句)Nightingale may not have achieved all of her goals during the Crimean War, her breadth of vision and ability to realize ambitious projects have earned(正评价词) her an eminent(正评价词) place among the ranks of social pioneers.(重点读,表明作者对以上两个不同观点的评述)

题目:

(A) Summers misunderstood both the importance of Nightingale’s achievements during the Crimean War and her subsequent influence on British policy.

(B) The editors of Nightingale’s letters made some valid points about her practical achievements, but they still exaggerated her influence on subsequent genrations.


(C) Although Summers’ account of Nightingale’s role in the Crimean War may be accurate, she ignored evidence of Nightingales’ subsequent achievement that suggests that her reputation as an eminent social reformer is well deserved.

定位于文末最后一句,关于作者对两个观点的总结句:

In sum, although Nightingale may not have achieved all of her goals during the Crimean War(观点一内容), her breadth of vision and ability to realize ambitious projects have earned her an eminent place among the ranks of social pioneers.



(D) The editors of Nightingale’s letters mistakenly propagated the outdated idealization of Nightingale that only impedes attempts to arrive at a balance assessment of her true role.


(E) The evidence of Nightingale’s letters supports Summers’ conclusions both about Nightingale’s activities and about her influence.

78. Which of the following is an assumption underlying the author’s assessment of Nightingale’s creativity(定位关键词,三段首句中,所以读原文注意评价词!)?


(A) Educational philosophy in Nightingale’s day did not normally emphasize developing children’s ability to observe.

When counseling a village schoolmaster to encourage children to use their faculties of observation, she sounds like a modern educator.



(B) Nightingale was
the first to notice the poor living conditions in British military barracks in peacetime.


(C)
No educator before Nightingale had thought to enlist the help of village shcoolmasters in introducing new teaching techniques.


(D) Until Nightingale began her work, there
was no concept of organized help for the needy in nineteenth-century Britain.


(E) The British Army’s medical services
had no cost-accounting system until Nightingale devised one in the 1860’s.

本题注意细节的排除,坚决按照原文信息!原文未出现的信息坚决不能选!尤其注意极端词汇!(以上选项中划线部分都是排除的依据)

(C) analyzing the weaknesses of the evidence presented elsewhere in the passage

(D) citing evidence to support a view of Nightingale’s career


(E) correcting a factual error occurring in one of the works under review

段落作用题,需要建立在框架把握的基础上,第三段和前两段的关系如何?从首句或末句判断。

I believe that the evidence of her letters supports continued respect for Nightingale’s brilliance and creativity.


以上的答案是我刚做的,如果有不对的,MM给我指出来.

按照XDF老师传授的方法,第一遍读完,我会做这样的总结(XDF老师叫做"逻辑简图",携隐看看,其实简单的框架图就好,不用花太多时间像你以前那样总结.)

逻辑简图

1) N贡献评价有两个不同观点+第一个观点: TS(主题句), AS (Anne Summers), during the Crimean War, exaggerated ( — )

2)第二个观点:By contrast, Editors, significantly influenced+, after the war, for examples

3)作者的观点:I believe....supports+...
brilliance and creativity+. In sumeminent+

这种逻辑简图简单实用,其实就是总结每段的段意、段内标志文章承转起合的重要的连接词、态度词,帮助你了解文章框架,把握重要的由连接词引出的出题点。

另:从本文你可以看出,一定要培养对关键的连词和作者态度词的重视和敏感!

苏联生物学家

第一段:关于遗传和环境,苏联两派生物学家:李森科TDL认为生物的遗传性状来自于与环境的直接影响“neo-Lamarckian”理论, .支持环境会影响基因的遗传,不利于物种进化的基因也会传给下一代。;另一派IIS认为环境对生物的有容忍度,一般不变,只有环境发生巨大变化时才会变异,即最优基因繁殖最多

A苏联生物学家支持neo darwinsn,我猜测可能就是达尔文的进化论,然后叙述了一下neo darwinsn的观点,什么适者生存,不适者被淘汰,大家都学过的。但是另一个B苏联生物学家提出反对,认为环境的改变会给生物带来一些ungenetic traits,这些traits也可以inherit到下一代。

第二段:TDL(借助政治力量)占统治地位,ruinIIS的理论

题目

1
主旨题:
contrast了两个生物学家的思想

2
TDL
思想的最大特点是什么?强调生物在环境的直接影响下能够定向变异、获得性能够遗传

3.TDLIIS两人的分歧在于? TDL认为环境对遗传有直接影响,但IIS不认为

背景知识




150年代在苏联由T.D.李森科(jj里提到的那位苏联盆友是也)所标榜的米丘林学说,强调生物在环境的直接影响下能够定向变异、获得性能够遗传。所有这些观点被称为neo新拉马克主义。

2Dobzhansky 的现代达尔文主义:现代综合进化论不同于传统的darwinismneo darwinism,彻底否定获得性状的遗传,强调进化的渐进性,认为进化是群体而不是个体的现象。引入了群体遗传学的原理,弥补了新达尔文主义基因论的不足。并重新肯定了自然选择的压倒一切的重要性,继承和发展了达尔文进化学说。

Ivan Ivanovich Schmalhausen(简称Swas a Soviet evolutionary biologist working at the Academy of Sciences in Minsk. In the 1940's his book "Factors of Evolution" appeared and was denounced(谴责, 告发, 通告废除) by T.D. Lysenko, whose neo-Lamarckian(这是L这个人的理论) theories of genetics were then on the ascendancy
统治权,
支配力量). At the close of the 1948 Congress of the Timiryazev Academy of Agricultural Science it was revealed that Stalin had endorsed支持 Lysenko's report to the Congress in which it was affirmed that the environment can alter the hereditary makeup of organisms in a directed way by altering their development(斯大林都表示支持,可见L的理论在苏联的地位,L认为环境可以直接影响遗传)

In the West, Lysenko's views were simply dismissed.(在西方不受重视)But Schmalhausen could not ignore the Lysenko agenda which insisted on a more complex interpenetration of heredity and environment than genetics generally recognized. (这里讲因为大家都认可L的理论,所以S也不能无视)Along with Marxist and progressive scientists in the west such as C.D. Waddington in the UK, he accepted rather than ignored the challenge. As a result he developed a more sophisticated approach to these interactions which explained the observations of some of the better studies cited by Lysenkoists

Schmalhausen argued that natural selection was not only directional, producing new adaptations to new circumstances, but stabilizing. That is, if a characteristic of a species causes it to be well adapted, then random variation in the characteristic caused by external or internal disturbances would reduce the fitness of the organism, so natural selection will operate to prevent such disturbances(这里讲了S支持natural selection的理由)

Schmalhausen’s realization that natural selection operates to change the sensitivity of physiology and development to perturbations, but that this selection operates only under the usual and normal range of environmental and genetic variations experienced by the species in its evolution, leads to a result with very wide implications. That result, which we shall call “Schmalhausen’s Law”(这个理论是S最著名的理论), is that when organisms are living within their normal range of environment, perturbations in the conditions of life and most genetic differences between individuals have little or no effect on their manifest physiology and development, but that under severe or unusual general stress conditions even small environmental and genetic differences have major effects

landlordtenant地主和房客原文


Any analysis of why the early fourteenth-century agrarian economy was so predisposed先有倾向的 to 'crisis' necessarily requires careful consideration of class and property relations on the land, for, as Robert Brenner and S. H. Rigby have both emphasized, these could be of decisive果断的 importance.7At that time landlords exercised feudal封建的 rights of lordship over their tenants, many of whom were of servile status and therefore legally subordinate to their lords. This power relationship shaped the tenurial土地保有的 relationship between those who owned the land and those who occupied and worked it. Thus it was tenure, as regulated by landlords, that determined the supply of holdings and the form and level of rents that were charged. Until recently it was widely believed that feudal tenurial relationships sanctioned and facilitated促进 the extra-economic exploitation of tenants by their lords. Together, the heaviness of rent charges and the arbitrariness of lordship discouraged and depressed tenant investment in agriculture.8Meanwhile, lords were more interested in pursuing a feudal lifestyle of conspicuous consumption than in enhancing the productivity and profitability of their estates.9The upshot结果, it has been claimed, was a vicious circle恶性循环 of underinvestment, static technology, and low and declining agricultural productivity.(封建社会中,地主对承租人的剥削关系,有人认为这是投资不足的恶性循环)

   
Such pessimistic悲观的 views of lords and their relations with their tenants have long exercised a compelling appeal.15 Nevertheless, they have become increasingly difficult to reconcile with a growing body of historical evidence. The preoccupation(当务之急) with serfdom农奴身份 overlooks the numerous free tenants who were exempt from the most coercive aspects of lordship.16Free tenants mostly paid fixed and low rents and their property rights enjoyed the protection of the royal courtsThe more substantial customary tenants were, in fact, relatively well off 。(自由租户收到宫廷的保护,交给地主较少的固定租金,相对富裕。) Many of these tenants certainly paid a proportion of their rent in labour, but historians, probably because of a modern abhorrence of the institution of forced labour, have exaggerated its economic significance. In reality, only a minority of tenants actually performed labour services, and the aggregate value of rents in cash far exceeded that of rents in kind.21 Notwithstanding the much-vaunted powers of lordship, tenants had long been remarkably effective at opposing efforts by lords to raise rents and increase labour services in line with rising land values and commodity prices.22They did so by countering seigniorial power with custom and denying that, as tenants, they were obliged to pay their lords anything more than a de facto实际上 ground rent for the land. Tenant right, in fact, often proved more powerful than landlord right.
只有少数的租户提供劳力服务,但他们有反对地主加租的权利,事实上,租户的权利比地主大)


As this article argues, the fact that so many tenants were in such conspicuous明显的 economic difficulties by the early fourteenth century had less to do with feudal lordship per se and the supposed oppressions and inequalities of serfdom, than with the contradictions and inefficiencies inherent in the coexistence of customary, contractual and commercial relationships. Herein在此 lay the real source of the agrarian problem in the early fourteenth century. In so far as lords were the inadvertent疏忽的 agents of this adverse state of affairs, it was because their dealings with their tenants were typically more compliant than coercive强制的
. By yielding to tenant demands for access to land on terms that were so favourable to the tenants, lords created the preconditions for the subdivision细分 and subletting转包 that stoked population growth and thereby engendered the rural congestion that was the source of so much under- and unemployment, with all the negative consequences that this implies for labour productivity, living standards and purchasing power. This deteriorating situation in the countryside acted as a brake upon the continued growth of the economy and, from 1315, left increasing numbers ever more cruelly exposed to the heightened risk of environmental hazard(地主想尽办法遏制了人口的发展和经济的增长,并使社会经济也衰退了)

第一段:B:传统的观点认为,lordtenant,特别是serf tenant (隶属于lord的,给其交租纳贡的tenant),带来了极大的经济压力,因为tenant要交很高的税负,要孝敬lord,缺乏人身自由。

第二段:P:但是,这一观点是不正确的,虽然老观点有着很大的吸引力(作者用了compelling),但是它越来越不能回答近期发现的一些新证据(主题句)。

第三段:S:因为其一,有很大一部分是non serf tenant,这些人只要交很低的钱,有很大的自由度,小日子还挺滋润;其二,即便是serf tenant,他们的生活也没有那么糟糕,他们还是有一定自主权的,诸如lord要增加税赋的时候,他们可以提出反对意见,并且有一定的力量。

第四段:S:但是中世纪的经济还是恶化了,这是为什么呢?究其原因,是因为,为了应付tenant想多租地扩大自身利益的欲望,地主想出了一系列方法。。。,生词很多,看不太懂。。。结果就是造成巨大的 unemployment in rural area. 地主的这种做法相当于对经济的一个“brake”,阻碍了14世纪的英国经济发展。lord在表面上向tenant做了让步使tenant获得短期经济利益,但是从长期来看,lord通过这些举措遏制了人口和经济的发展,并最终带来了社会环境的恶化。

1
主旨题:
evaluate14世纪英国经济停滞不前的真正原因

                   讨论为什么英国十四世纪时候生产力下降了

2
二段中作者举free tenant例子的目的是?
举了个例子说明老观点不能解释一些新的evidence,即反驳老观点。

3.、关于landlord赋予free tenant对土地的权利,作者同意哪个?

serve short term interest of tenant but not the long term(待定?)

4.、经济衰退,生产力下降
究竟是原因什么?

landlord的土地政策:把土地权放给佃农。access to land

5问是从文章infer出什么,我选项是landlord对土地权利神马的,不是totally free(因为第二段提到那个free tetant他们好像有royal court保护,所以landlord不是
完全横行的)。
