其实错选B的时候也有犹豫一下。。。因为including通常是直接说某一个东西包含的全部内容 显然这里破折号后是部分内容而不是全部内容

RON：
word choice is a sticky thing. for instance, it's actually better to say "birds have a four-chambered heart" than to say "birds have four-chambered hearts", because the former makes it clear that each bird has exactly 1 heart. both, however, are acceptable.
in a similar vein, the construction of (d) and (e) makes it more clear that each book has exactly 1 author.

想問本句完整的中文翻譯會是什麼意思

一定要注意快速理清楚前提＋结论！！！
注意语气词 态度词 未发生的 已发生的 猜测的...等等等

重新分析：
①两个世纪以前半岛从大陆分离出来了。（同时从大陆分出了一些太阳花）
！注意时态的变化！
②这些太阳花的后代现在长得比大陆的太阳花矮40cm。
③ Tufe Island is significantly drier than Tufe Peninsula was. 半岛现在比以前要更干燥。
结论：半岛的太阳花比大陆的太阳花矮有一部分原因赖在半岛的环境变化。
gap：有没有可能两个地方的太阳花之间的差异是因为大陆的太阳花变了。

错了...掉坑里了...
Tufe Island is significantly drier than Tufe Peninsula was.
这句话是说岛现在比以前干，而不是岛比大陆干，感觉GMAC故意用island和peninsula误导，而我就掉坑了，哼

關於"不能用xxx expect that這個結構", 在曼哈頓第五版SC中提到expect that是正確的(詳列如下) , 請問是否有認知上的差異呢?

**EXPECT
*RIGHT:
We EXPECT the price TO FALL.
The price IS EXPECTED TO FALL.
We EXPECT THAT the price WILL FALL.
IT IS EXPECTED THAT the price WILL FALL.
Inflation rose more than we EXPECTED.
There IS an EXPECTATION THAT the price will fall.

感觉这个题目最坑的一点就是
一会儿Tufe Peninsula / mainland / Tufe Island / 一会儿又是Tufe Island is significantly drier than Tufe Peninsula. 让人无法确定Tufe Peninsula到底是不是mainland...

好小声哦老师

P1:island上的花比原来mainland上的花矮40cm
P2:island上的气候比mainland干燥一些
结论：island上和mainland上的太阳花的差距肯定起码有一小部分的原因是因为island的岛的环境的变化
gap：40cm被认为是island上的花低于mainland的上的花（默认mainland上的花没有变化）==》可是万一如果是mainland变了，而island反倒没有变呢？？

保金产品，汉字都能打错汗

premium product是高端产品，误解成了本金产品……

proponents支持者就看了第一段最后几句话There were even claims that IT had improved the performance of the service sector significantly, although macroeconomic measures of productivity did not reflect the improvement.

,D the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund-the foremost international development institutions-have continued to promote the NIC path as the way for heavily indebted developing countries to proceed.

It is true that as the capacity of a manufacturing operation rises, costs per unit of output fall as plant size approaches "minimum efficient scale,"
此处已将realize economies of scale的概念细化为“approach minimum efficient scale”
即approach minimum efficient scale=realize economies of scale
题目中该公司拥有高超的intangible capital水平，带来realized economies of scale，即等于带来minimum efficient scale

定位：If throughput falls below a critical point, unit costs rise sharply and profits disappear.
throughput如果低于标准点，单位成本会急剧上升。可知，是T引起了成本上升或下滑，是成本受T影响，不是T受到成本影响。而题目问的是T 最不受 什么影响。 affected by体现了题目的逻辑关系。the least=except=最不能 下面哪一项最不能影响产量：
D 因果倒置
an increase in the cost per unit of output是果，throughput falls below a critical point是因

这篇文章逻辑有点绕，读懂了就不难选，第一句在肯定tangible capital对实现e of s具有作用的前提下，引出还有另一个影响e of s的变量。此后一直到“ or inefficient sales networks”都是解释tangible capital对e of s的影响为何有限，引入cost的概念（经济金融专业的应该都懂，就是那个fixed cost的图），在第一段最后一句得出结论：tangible capital决定potential e of s，realized e of s由intangible capital决定。
第二段就着结论，论证intangible capital在new capital-intensive manufacturing industries中无与伦比的重要性
可见全文的重点在于结论和结论后的内容，即A选项point out the importance of intangible capital for realizing economies of scale in manufacturing

“其考查了“不定式和从句的区别”。用之于本题，主句谓语动词train的意思是“训练”，我们知道，如果说是训练某人做某事，则某人做这件事是和训练有关系的。也就是说，本题中train的控制力较强，可以控制事件的发生，因此宾语的补语应该用不定式短语的形式，即，to respect simplicity, be austere, and observe a ritualized code of behavior。”这句话看不太懂

“A survivor of the changes that swept the travel industry as a result of the deregulation of the airlines in 1978 — changes that included dramatic growth in the corporate demand for travel services, as well as extensive restructuring and consolidation within the travel industry ”
为什么D错，这里说了the corporate demand for travel services.

选项C的答案很含糊，第一部分的诠释也很合理，为何不对？第二部分明显为主结论，选项D却用定位为claim（而不是conclusion或position）。
请老师解答。
