这五道题目是紧接上一篇文章中的五道题目的,因为整套GWD语文试题是包含语法、逻辑和阅读三科,题目穿插出现,所以逻辑题的题号有跳跃性,大家可以对照原版资料来参考练习。
Q27:
A significant number of complex repair jobs carried out by Ace Repairs have to be reworked under the company’s warranty. The reworked jobs are invariably satisfactory. When initial repairs are inadequate, therefore, it is not because the mechanics lack competence; rather, there is clearly a level of focused concentration that complex repairs require that is elicited more reliably by rework jobs than by first-time jobs.
有相当一部分由A修理公司交工的产品需要再次返工(根据A公司的质保承诺)。而返工的产品无一例外的让客户满意。第一次的处理不让顾客满意的原因不在于技工没有竞争,只是因为返工的和不返工的要求侧重点不一样。(不好意思,我承认结论我没弄太懂什么意思,大家就将就都看看)
The argument above assumes which of the following?
There is no systematic difference in membership between the group of mechanics who do first-time jobs and the group of those who do rework jobs.做第一次工和做返工的技工是一样的,也就是说没有专门做返工的技工,这样就排除了做返工的技工技术高于第一次的。正确
There is no company that successfully competes with Ace Repairs for complex repair jobs.其它公司有没有A公司好没关系,有关系的是A公司内部的技工质量比较。
Ace Repairs’ warranty is good on first-time jobs but does not cover rework jobs.同B,和比较内容不搭边,所以无关。
Ace Repairs does not in any way penalize mechanics who have worked on complex repair jobs that later had to be reworked. 这个不是说技工有可能就是因为做好做坏没差别,所以不认真做吗?
There is no category of repair jobs in which Ace Repairs invariably carries out first-time jobs satisfactorily. 需要返工的活都是顾客不满意才返的。(这句话好象有不同的翻译,我自己也拿不准,大家自己拿主意啦)
Q28: GWD-2-10
Environmentalist: The use of snowmobiles in the vast park north of Milville create sun acceptable levels of air pollution and should be banned.
Milville business spokesperson: Snowmobiling brings many out-of-towners to Milville in winter months, to the great financial benefit of many local residents. So, economics dictate that we put up with the pollution.
Environmentalist: I disagree: A great many cross-country skiers are now kept from visiting Milville by the noise and pollution that snowmobiles generate.
环境保护者:在M地北部的开阔公园使用雪地通讯器材造成了。。。。的空气污染所以应该被禁止。
M地商业发言人:正是因为可以使用雪地通讯器材才让很多外地人在冬季来到M地并为很多当地人带来了巨大的经济收益。所以从经济角度出来我们应该就不要管那个污染了。
环境保护者:我反对。因为杂音和污染,很多滑雪者已经不来M地滑雪了。
Environmentalist responds to the business spokesperson by doing which of the following?
A. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome can derive from only one set of circumstances 这个答案是说环境保护者反对说只有一个方式可以带来希望的预期效果。这答案的错误在于:发言人并没有说用雪地通讯是让外地人来的唯一条件,只说因为这个有些人来M地。
B. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome 这个答案是说环境保护者反对的立场在于:预期的正面效果会出现,同时一个负面效果也会出现,而且这个负面效果大于那个正面效果。这个答案的错误在于题干没有提示说滑雪者不来了的后果更严重。
C. Maintaining that the benefit that the spokesperson desires could be achieved in greater degree by a different means 环境保护者并没有说滑雪者来了让当地人可以赚更多的钱,甚至没直接说是不是会让当地人赚钱。
D. Claiming that the spokesperson is deliberately misrepresenting the environmentalist’s position in order to be better able to attack it 在环境保护者发第二次言之前,发言人没有误述环境保护者的话,他们只是在各说各的话。所以环境保护者也没有指责发言人误述了他的第一句话。
E. Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain group of people actually benefited those people. 说发言人说的是为了当地人的利益,但事实上当地人并没有得到什么好处。既然题干中提到外地人,也提到从外地来M地滑雪的人,那么滑雪者应该是包括在外地人之中的。这个是前提。发言人说因为用雪地通讯器材让很多外地人来M地,人来多了当地人赚的钱也多了。但是事实上是很多外地人现在不来了。正确。
Q30:
Printwell’s Ink Jet Division manufactures ink-jet printers and the ink cartridges they use. Sales of its ink-jet printers have increased. Monthly revenues from those sales, however, have not increased, because competition has forced Printwell to cut the prices of its printers. Unfortunately, Printwell has been unable to bring down the cost of manufacturing a printer. Thus, despite the increase in printer sales, the Ink Jet Division must be providing the company with much smaller than it used to.
事实一:P公司的喷墨打印机部门生产喷墨打印机和这种打印机使用的墨盒。
事实二:打印机的销售增加了,但是由于竞争,P公司不得不将打印机的售价降3低,所以
月销售利润却并没有增加。
事实三:打印机的生产成本却没法降低。
结论:尽管打印机卖的多了,这个部门创造的利润却比以前少了。
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
Ink-jet printers in regular use frequently need new ink cartridges, and Printwell’s printers only accept Printwell’s ink cartridges.打印机卖得越多,墨盒也会卖得越多。题干并没有提示说墨盒不赚钱了,所以如果没有其它更好的选项,这个就是正确的。
Unlike some competing companies, Printwell sells all of its printers through retailers, and these retailers’ costs account for a sizable proportion of the printers’ ultimate retail price.销售给谁,采取哪种销售方式在本题中无意义。因为打印机卖得多不赚钱是事实,怎么在这个事实上说明还是不比以前赚得少才是要的答案。显然这个选项没有这个作用。
Some printer manufacturers have been forced to reduce the sale price of their ink-jet printers even more than Printwell has.其它公司哪怕更不赚钱也改变不了P公司打印机部门靠卖机子赚不了钱的事实。
In the past year, no competing manufacturer of ink-jet printers has had as great an increase in unit sales of printers as Printwell has. 同C,此题中其它公司的销售状况和P公司赚到钱没有无关。
In the past year, sales of Printwell’s ink-jet printers have increased more than sales of any other type of printer made by Printwell. 在过去一年中,喷墨打印机比其它打印机都卖得多。题干已经说了卖得多不等于赚得多,卖得少也不等于赚得少。
Q37:
Escalating worldwide demand for corn has led to a sharp increase in the market price of corn, and corn prices are likely to remain high. Corn is extensive used as feed for livestock, and because profit margins are tight in the livestock business, many farmers are expected to leave the business. With fewer suppliers, meat prices will surely rise. Nonetheless, observers expect an immediate short-term decrease in meat prices.
全球性的地玉米的需要量的增加导致了全球性的玉米价格大幅上涨。玉米多被用来作为牲畜的饲料,而牲畜业的利润空间并不大,所以很多牲畜业的从业者可能要改行了。如果供应者少了,肉的价格就会上涨。但是观察家认为马上就会有一个短期的肉类价格下降的过程。
Which of the following, if true, most helps to justify the observers’ expectation?
The increase in corn prices is due more to a decline in the supply of corn than to a growth in demand for it. 玉米的价格上升是因为产量的下降而不是需求的上升。不管是什么造成了,反正它的价格是上涨了。
Generally, farmers who are squeezed out of the livestock business send their livestock to market much earlier than they otherwise would. 也就是说市面上会有更多的肉出售。正确。
Some people who ate meat regularly in the past are converting to diets that include little or no meat.一部分人不能代表大部分人,所以一部分人改吃素了不说明为什么肉价会下降。
As meat prices rise, the number of livestock producers is likely to rise again.那是在比现在更少的肉出售后肉价才会上涨,肉价上涨后卖肉的人才会多起来,肉在市场上多了以后肉价才会下降。但观察者是说马上肉价就会跌,所以这个选项错误。
Livestock producers who stay in the business will start using feed other than corn more extensively than they did in the past.饲料贵不是造成肉价贵的直接原因,而是因为饲料贵了以前养牲畜的人就不养了,这样造成了可出售的肉类数量下降,而这个数量下降造成了肉价的上涨。所以继续做牲畜业生意的人改用什么饲料只会影响他们自己的成本,而不会影响市面上可出售的肉类数量。
Q38:
Journalist: Well-known businessman Arnold Bergeron has long been popular in the state, and he has often talked about running for governor, but he has never run. However, we have just learned that Bergeron has fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement for candidacy by submitting a detailed list of his current financial holdings to the election commission. So, it is very likely that Bergeron will be a candidate for governor this year.
记者:著名的企业家B在这个国家已经很有知名度了,他经常谈论到去竞选政府官员,尽管他从没有参加竞选过。但是我们最近知道B已经交作为竞选人所必须填报的财务情况调查表交给了选举委员会。所以看来B先生是非常有可能成为今年的政府官员竞选人。
The answer to which of the following questions would be most useful in evaluating the journalist’s argument?
Has anybody else who has fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement for the upcoming election reported greater financial holdings than Bergeron?其他人有没有填报这个表没有关系,而是B填报了后是不是就意味着他要去竞选了。
Is submitting a list of holdings the only way to fulfill the election commission’s financial disclosure requirements?也可能这个是诸多要求中的一个,即使不是唯一要求我们无法肯定或否定填报这个表和确定竞选的必然关系。
Did the information recently obtained by the journalists come directly from the election commission?这个消息有多少可靠性不在讨论范围,现在关注的是这个这个消息中的推导关系成不成立:B填报了一个表=B要去竞选。
Have Bergeron’s financial holdings increased in value in recent years? 他的资产有可能增长了,有可能负增长,这最多是竞选委员会关心的事,但肯定的是不是我们需要关心的事。
Had Bergeron also fulfilled the financial disclosure requirements for candidacy before any previous gubernatorial elections? 既然以前他从未去竞选过,那么如果他以前填了同样的表,这次也可能填同样的表而不参加竞选。正确。
