the accuracy of these maps is especially dependent on the mapmakers' own interpretive abilities.
3.5 <= x+y < 4.5
0.5 <= x-y < 1.5
两式相加得:
4 <= 2x < 6
2 <= x < 3
没有其他条件无法得出x更close to哪个整数
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 .

【转载】".....getting donations from 80 percent of the potential donors they contacted. This success rate, exceptionally high for university fund-raisers, does not indicate that they were doing a good job. "
因为本来大家看到80%的成功捐款率是很NB的,但是其实rate高并不表明游说的人有很努力 因为捐过款的人更倾向再次捐款。
现在A就告诉你,其实smith的筹款人在游说从来没有捐过款人的时候成功率和别的学校筹款人一样。这样就加强了文中的论点,smith那80%的捐款率其实多数是来自以前捐过款的人的。
“Almost like clones in their similarity to one another...” That phrase includes the plural pronoun “their”, so it needs to be followed by a plural noun that could reasonably be described as “like clones” in terms of their similarity to each other.
选项D:speeds是复数名词,不能用单数代词that指代。
woc头一次看到 太有用了!!!
误选了C,其实没有key terms,就是不讲道理地拒绝别人的观点(直接把自己力图要证明的结论拿来用)
怎么几乎每道题目都有你。。。
备考的时候这不当做笔记吗...
笑死
progress 存在可接受的歧义,逻辑上progress不能伤害people。in the name of progress 在这里是一个插入状语,修饰personify。
本题的对比对象应为两个收费行为。
原文说:因为超速而贴罚单的司机33%装了某设备,结论是:装了某设备的司机更有可能比没有装的司机经常超速。问假设。
B:因为超速而贴罚单的司机更有可能比没有贴罚单的司机经常超速。
33%在这里显然表示的是一个程度,表明“很多”“大多数”。进而此题可以理解为:某类人(装设备的司机)具备某特质(因超速而贴罚单),说某类人更有可能怎么样,其实也就是说具备某特质的人更有可能怎么样,也就是答案B
需要注意的是:先告诉3%的司机装了设备,再给出33%的司机贴罚单,这一点很重要,否则33%就是一个干扰项目,因为33%无法代表大多数司机,无法表示程度,只有在前面有了3%的对比限制之后,此题才能认为B正确。
like是一个介词,身后不能连接句子(some have asserted),只能连接名词或名词短语。
not that...but that
doctors spend less time with each patients, not insurance plans,故E错误,D正确
AC. 后面they were developed的they指的是pollutants,故前面不能用they来指代industrialization and modern methods(一句话两个they指代不同)
AE. have gone regulated的主语应该为pollutants,若用having,则主语变成了industrialization and modern methods
thermometer:温度计
原文意思是因为number随着周围温度而浮动,故可以把number作为thermometer
AC. number单数,排除
B. which指代temperature,错误
E. in fact=definitely,与possibly矛盾,错误
ask the goddess‘s help to heal:要求女神去帮助他们heal
ask the goddess’s help in healing:在healing这件事上请求女神 (更好一些)
aid in doing something
aid to/for somebody
前半句although,后半句应该没有连词,故只有A正确
