下面小编整理了几道GWD的题目,并为大家做了详细的分析,可以帮助大家掌握一些分析的思路和解题的技巧。
Q3:
A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price. Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product. But large profits on the mew product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the mew product’s capabilities. Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
读题:如果一个产品在技术上有明显优势就容易有一个较高的售价,也意味着有较高的收益。别的公司看到有人在赚大钱了就一定也想赚 (而且他们也可能赚得到----)因为产品的技术优势容易被超过(也就是说今天你是老大,明天可能就是老小了)。所以,要想在一个新产品上赚取最大的利润的策略就是从开始就不要卖得那么贵。(也就没那么显眼,没那么显眼就没那么招人要来超越自己了)
The first is an assumption that forms the basis for a course of action that the argument criticizes; the second presents the course of action endorsed by the argument. 技术优势容易变得不是优势是一个事实,而不是ASSUMPTION. 第二句也是一个事实,而且显然不是endorsed by 作者。
The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy. 全题就一个地方说了strategy,而且是作者主张的。所以call into question ….就表明这个选项是错的。
The first is an assumption that has been used to justify a certain strategy; the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that assumption. 同A,第一个不是ASSUMPTION,整个题干没有对技术优势容易被超过提出质疑。
The first is a consideration raised in support of a strategy the argument endorses; the second presents grounds in support of that consideration. 和读题时的逻辑是一致的,再加上其它四个全错,那就只会是它了。(正确)
The first is a consideration raised to show that adopting a certain strategy is unlikely to achieve the intended effect; the second is presented to explain the appeal of that strategy. 同B,作者明显是主张采用这个strategy的,如果他认为unlikely to achieve the intended effect,当然就不会主张。
Q13:
In the United States, of the people who moved from one state to another when they retired, the percentage who retired to Florida has decreased by three percentage points over the past ten years. Since many local businesses in Florida cater to retirees, this decline is likely to have a noticeably negative economic effect on these businesses.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
读题:最近十年,在退休后(往往)从一个州搬到另一个州的总人数中,搬到F州的人数却下降了三个百分点(也就是说分母是全美国退了休找搬家公司跨州搬家的总人数,分子是其中搬到F州的人数)。因为在F州的许多本土企业的目标顾客是退休人群,所以搬到这儿来的退休人少了对这些企业的生意就会产生负影响。
问哪句话可以削弱这个结论。
Florida attracts more people who move from one state to another when they retire than does any other state. 虽然说来F州的人少了,可是去其它州的人更少。哪怕去其它州的人数再少,如果没到F州来这句话就等于白说
The number of people who move out of Florida to accept employment in other states has increased over the past ten years. 在这十年中,因为新的工作从F州搬出去的人数增多了。这属于雪上加霜,也就是说受到负影响的不止是做老年人生意的公司,还包括做退休前人群生意的公司。
There are far more local businesses in Florida that cater to tourists than there are local businesses that cater to retirees. 在F州赚旅游者钱的公司比赚退休老年人钱的公司多。这个明显就是不相关,其它的企业哪怕赚翻了,那也没有让题干中的结论说赚退休人士钱的公司赔得少点。
The total number of people who retired and moved to another state for their retirement has increased significantly over the past ten years. 退休后会搬到另一个州的总人数在最近十年里显著增多了。等于说题干中的分母部分加大了,而且是显著加大了,那么这个分数的值就极有可能变大了。也就是说来的退休人其实是更多了,而不是变少了。(正确)
The number of people who left Florida when they retired to live in another state was greater last year than it was ten years ago. 去年,以前住在F州的,退休后搬到其它州的人数比十年前多。这个比较无意义,因为题目讨论的近十年是搬进来的人少了,去年搬出去多少人是另一回事。如果有关系,也是在加强这个结论,而不是削弱。
Q14:
That the application of new technology can increase the productivity of existing coal mines is demonstrated by the case of Tribnia’s coal industry. Coal output per miner in Tribnia is double what it was five years ago, even though no new mines have opened.
Which of the following can be properly concluded from the statement about coal output per miner in the passage?
读题:一种新的技术的确可以增加已存在的煤矿的出煤量,因为T煤矿产业已经证实了这点。再没有新开矿的情况下,采用了这个新技术后,T矿的矿工的平均出煤量是五年前的双倍。
用分数式表达就是 A/矿工人数 =5 X B/矿工人数 (其中A表示现在的出煤总量,B表示五年前的出煤总量)
问题:根据题干,可以合理的推出下面哪一句关于平均矿工的出煤量?
If the number of miners working in Tribnian coal mines has remained constant in the past five years, Tribnia’s total coal production has doubled in that period of time. 如果矿工人数在这五年中没有变化,那么根据题干中提示的数式就是:A=5B.(正确)
Any individual Tribnian coal mine that achieved an increase in overall output in the past five years has also experienced an increase in output per miner.如果任何一个矿在过去五年中总的出煤量有提高,那么其每个矿工的出煤量也有提高。也就是说任何一个矿如果产量提高了,并不是其增加了工人,而且即使增加了工人,那么工人人数的增加比例也少于总产量的增加比例。这个推不出结论。
If any new coal mines had opened in Tribnia in the past five years, then the increase in output per miner would have been even greater than it actually was.如果在过去五年里在T区有新开的矿,那么人均出煤量应该会更高。没有发生的事就当是不存在的,所以这个IF……WOULD HAVE BEEN就等于白说。
If any individual Tribnian coal mine has not increased its output per miner in the past five years, then that mine’s overall output has declined or remained constant.如果任何一个矿在过去五年中没有增加人均出煤量,那么这个矿的总的出煤量就是减少或者和以前持平。无关选项。
In Tribnia the cost of producing a given quantity of coal has declined over the past five years. 在T,产煤的费用在过年五年减少了。这儿没有讨论费用的问题,只是讨论出煤量和新技术的事,无关选项。
Q15:
In parts of South America, vitamin-A deficiency is a serious health problem, especially among children. In one region, agriculturists are attempting to improve nutrition by encouraging farmers to plant a new variety of sweet potato called SPK004 that is rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. The plan has good chances of success, since sweet potato is a staple of the region’s diet and agriculture, and the varieties currently grown contain little beta-carotene.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that the plan will succeed?
读题:在南美的一些地方,人们,特别是儿童的维A缺乏是一个严重的健康问题。在其中一个地区,农业家试图用鼓励农民种一种叫SPK004的甜薯来改善这个状况。这种甜薯富含一种B,而这B在进入人体后会转换成维A。这个计划有着可以达到其目的的很大可能,因为甜薯是这个地区人们的主食和主要农作物,而且目前正在种植的其它品种(甜薯)基本不含那种B。
问下面哪句可以支持农业家的计划可以成功?
The growing conditions required by the varieties of sweet potato currently cultivated in the region are conditions in which SPK004 can flourish.这个地区的环境适合于这种SPK400甜薯可以很好的生长。即使这个SPK004好,即使人们有了这个就会吃很多,但是都有一个前提,那就是这个SPK004的产量要保证人们可以当成主食吃得到。这句话就是这个保证。
The flesh of SPK004 differs from that of the currently cultivated sweet potatoes in color and texture, so traditional foods would look somewhat different when prepared from SPK004. SPK004看起来和现在正在种植的不一样,用S做出来食物看起来和传统食物不一样。因为我们不知道这个地区的人们有没有普遍的创新精神,对于新事物的接受程度高不高。如果都是象我前男友他妈那类型,看都和以前的食物不一样就拒绝食用的话,那这句话不仅没加强,反而在削弱。
There are no other varieties of sweet potato that are significantly richer in beta-carotene than SPK004 is. 现在没有其它的甜薯比这个SPK004含有更多的B物质。题干里面说了几乎不含,这儿说比SPK004含得少并没有加入新的内容。
The varieties of sweet potato currently cultivated in the region contain some important nutrients that are lacking in SPK004.目前正在种植的其它品种的甜薯有着SPK004中没有含有的重要营养物质。很明显在说那些农业家顾此失彼,虽然这也是可能的,但是对于农业家的计划没有加强也没有减弱,相当于一个人说我这个摄影作品很可能得奖喔。另一个人站出来说,你的这个作品只注意了新闻效益却忽视了艺术价值。
There are other vegetables currently grown in the region that contain more beta-carotene than the currently cultivated varieties of sweet potato do.这个地区现在种植的其它一些农作物比现在种植的甜薯含有更多B物质。这个有两个问题,第一其它农作物如果不能作为这个地区人们的主食,那么就没什么意义。如果可以作为替代的主食食用,那农业家的计划就没有必要采用。
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?
在N这个地方挖出来一个骨制的笛子的残留部分(也就是说不是一个整笛子),上面有四个洞,这四个洞是刚才可以用来吹秦七音阶中第三到第六音符的。而七音阶是在文艺复兴之后西方音乐所大量采用的。于是音乐史家猜想这个七音阶是在西方音乐家开始使用前几千年就已经被发明并使用的。
问题是:哪个可以让音乐史家的猜想更有说明力?
Bone flutes were probably the only musical instrument made by Neanderthals.骨笛可能是由N地人们制作的唯一乐器。是不是唯一的对于是不是先于音乐史家的猜想没什么影响。问题是他们制作和使用的是不是用来吹七音阶的乐器,万一是一个勺子?所以关键在于是不是,而不在于是不是唯一的。
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. 在N地,没有找到其它使用七音阶的比这个骨笛更早的乐器。拜托,这个是不是都还在猜想,没有找到比它更早的并不能说明N地比西方音乐界早几千年开始使用七音阶的
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. 这个骨笛是有一个洞熊的骨头做的,而发现这个骨笛的洞里还发现了有些洞熊的骨架。这个只能说明这个骨笛是骨头做的,而且说不一定就是在这个洞里做的。和七音阶完全没有关系。
Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale. 笛是结构最简单可以吹奏七音阶的风乐器(专业术语我不知道)。这个就是正确答案了。它的简单程度对于结论没有加强作用。
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. 那种用来制作骨笛的洞熊的腿骨用来制作一个吹奏完整的七音阶乐器是足够长的。这个就是题干部分差的内容,因为发现的笛的残骸是只有四个洞,可是七音阶很明显是需要七个洞。那么这个条件就是说另外三个洞以前是有的。
Q18:
It is illegal to advertise prescription medications in Hedland except in professional medical journals or by mail directly to physicians. A proposed law would allow general advertising of prescription medications. Opponents object that, in general, laypersons lack the specialized knowledge to evaluate such advertisements and might ask their physicians for inappropriate medications. But since physicians have the final say as to whether to prescribe a medication for a patient, the objection provides no grounds for concern.
在H地除了在专业医学刊物或者直接投递到医师的邮件外,是不可以广告宣传处方药的。一个法案提议允许通过一般渠道宣传处方药。反对者认为一般来说,外行是没有相应的专业知识去评估这些广告产品的,而他们可能会向医师提出不恰当的使用药物的要求。不过既然医师对于开处方有最终决定权,所以对于这个提议的反对是站不住脚的。
Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the argument?
Whether nonprescription medications can interact with and block the action of any prescription medications that could be advertised to the general public 非处方药有没有可能
Whether most prescription medication advertisements directed at the general public would be advertisements for recently developed medications newly available by prescription 面向公众的最新上市的处方药广告会不会是最多的?既然讨论的是处方药,就不关最新或者最旧处方药的事。
Whether prescription medication advertisements directed at the general public would appear on television and radio as well as in print 面向大众的处方药广告会不会出现在电视、电台和宣传单上。同样的,讨论的是处方药广告该不该面向大众的问题,而不涉及选择哪种具体形式面向大众的问题
Whether physicians are more likely to pay attention to advertising directed to the general public than to advertising directed to physicians 医师会不会对于面向大 众的处方药广告特别注意。反方意见是处方药面向大众会误导外行,至于会不会影响医师的注意力没有涉及到。
Whether physicians are likely to succumb to pressure from patients to prescribe inappropriate medications 医生会不会有可能屈于病人的要求而给予并不适合的处方药。这个是正确答案,因为反方的意见是广告会误导公众,而辩方意见是误导了也没用,因为是医生而不是病人决定该用哪种药。而这个条件就是说有可能是病人而不是医生决定用哪种药。
