P:small companies can't 转换生产线 to 满足 政府的新生产规范new manufacturing specifications
C: only large companies remain (即,small companies not remain)
搭桥:E 小公司不能满足整改要求,留不下来,所以只有大公司留的下来
选项E(√)
None of the seven small companies currently manufactures the product to a set of specifications that would match those the government would institute if the industry were to be regulated.
目前,这七家 small companies没有一家按照政府在行业受到监管时制定的规格来生产产品。;取非:至少有其中一家 small companies 按照政府规范来生产产品,那 small companies就会remain,即不会只有large companies留下来 remain,所以削弱题干的结论( only large companies remain)。
A. 如果政府不规范 if the government does not regulate,三家大公司中没有一家会退出市场;(×)原文讨论是规范的情况 If the government regulates,跳出范围,排
原文:
Hyksos人入侵并统治Egypt(于公元前 1650 年至 1550 年)。
(结论)archaeologists推测:Hyksos人的祖先是 Canaanites人。
(证据)发掘的文物相同:Avaris地区(∈H人统治下的Egypt) == Ashkelon地区(∈C人的) ,【在H人入侵时期at the time of the Hyksos invasion(=H人入侵后 after the Hyksos invasion)】
问Premise前提?
❤ 选项里面有whether,则观察选项里面出现的control goup,选择含有限定条件(时间、地点……)与原文相反的选项
选项E(√)
Whether 在Avaris地区(∈H人统治下的Egypt)发现的***与在Ashkelon地区(∈C人)生产的文物相似***的许多文物 可以追溯到【Hyksos入侵之前before the Hyksos invasion】
此选项【Hyksos入侵之前before the Hyksos invasion】←相反的限定条件(时间)→原文【at the time of the Hyksos invasion(=入侵后after the Hyksos invasion)】
回答Yes,则说明就是H人带去C区的,所以H人的祖先是C人,有效;
回答No,则说明不是H人带去C区的,所以H人的祖先不是C人,无效。
选项D(×)
Whether 【after 1550 B.C.公元前 1550 年之后 (×)∵不是原文after 相反的限定条件】,Avaris(∈Hyksos)地区 继续生产 类似于 在Avaris(∈Hyksos)地区发现的文物
题型:果因推理(现象解释题)
评估:CQ1找他因,解释现象。CQ2:因果联系link
原文:
(过去)两个世纪前,T Peninsula(半岛) 分离= mainland(旧大陆) +T island(新小岛),T island有新的向日葵。
(现在)
T island的向日葵后代 比mainland的向日葵短 40 cm。①现象(果)--后发生
T Island 比T Peninsula(=mainland旧大陆)气候干燥。② 解释(因)--先发生
所以,出现①现象的原因是②
问assumption:【取非的选项 can 削弱 原文的结论】
选项B(√)
mainland's environment 旧大陆环境并没有改变 → mainland旧大陆的向日葵 比两个世纪前高出40cm。
--取非:mainland 旧大陆环境改变 → mainland的向日葵 比两个世纪前高出40cm。(【他因削弱】了原结论,说明T island 的花变矮不是因为②(本岛气候干),而是其他原因(mainland's environment 旧大陆环境的变化)
选项C(×)
The soil on Tufe Island, unlike that on the mainland, lacks important nutrients that help sunflowers survive and grow tall in a dry environment.
与mainland旧大陆不同,T Island的土壤缺乏养分,这种养分有助于向日葵在干燥环境中生长。
--取非:T island 的土壤 含有养分,这种养分有助于向日葵在干燥环境中生长。(则是T island向日葵就不会那么矮,弥补了气候干的影响,所以加强原结论:出现①现象的原因是②,说明就是T island的气候干燥导致是T island的向日葵长得矮。)
A scrub jay (灌木松鸦) 【can remember】 when it cached a particular piece of food in a particular place, researchers have discovered, and 【tends not to bother】 to recover a perishable treat(易腐烂的食物)(stored long enough to have rotted 分词修饰语作为形容词).

Past assessments of the Brazilian rain forest have used satellite images to tally deforested areas, where farmers and ranchers have clear-cut and burned all the trees,

美国系统性的森林砍伐创造了农田(尤其是在东北部)并为消费者提供了相对便宜的房屋和家具,但它也造成了侵蚀并很快毁坏了整个地区的森林。

有几种方法可以仅使用泥或粘土来建造坚固的墙壁,
但最广泛使用的方法是【将泥或粘土制成砖块】,然后【在初步风干或晒干后,用泥浆砌筑墙内】。
选项A(×):平行对象成分不一致,因为名词短语和句子不能平行
method has been 【the forming of bricks out of mud or clay 名词短语】, and【, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, they are laid in the wall in mud mortar 句子】
比较对象(√):用“农场”和“鸟”比较(此两者均在消失)。
选项C(√)
Like 【the grassy fields and old pastures】 that the upland sandpiper(鹬) needs for feeding and nesting when it returns in May after wintering in the Argentine Pampas,

C by using不行;in convincing不行
【主句+ by doing】这个结构用by doing 解释主句如何发生
例如 i prepared for the test by reviewing takeaways on the MGMAT forums. 看论坛解释了我如何准备考试
C选项:’using Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings" 没有解释 “如何oranize campaign“,因为 campaign本身 = use Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings
using和by using修饰的对象不同:by using A, B, and C修饰的是如何organize;而using A, B, and C修饰的是grassroots campaign。+by改变了原句的意思。
【主句 + in doing】主句里的谓语动词 必须是 doing的一部分,
例如i solved all the problems in OG12 in preparing for the GMAT.
解决问题solved 是 准备preparing GMAT的一部分。翻译为【在这件事中】。
C选项:organize是后面convincing的一个动作,逻辑不合理
The organic food industry has organized a successful grassroots campaign—[using] Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings—[that has convinced] the Department of Agriculture to change the proposed federal regulations for organically grown food.
有机食品行业组织了一场成功的草根运动——利用网站、公开会议和群发邮件——说服了农业部改变拟议中的关于有机种植食品的联邦法规。
①当“非数字物体(如dogs、cats等绝大多数名词)”比较时,通常用double(twice) as much as,例如:twice as many dogs;double as much water。
②但是当带有数字概念的noun比较时,不能加as many或as much,例如:直接用twice the increase;double the decrease 就可以--排除CDE
显然地,increase本身就是数字的概念。因此,不能用as much as the increase of"
选项A(√)
The 【number 不可数名词】of flying first class on domestic flights rose sharply in 1990, 【doubling the increase of 带有数字概念的noun比较】the previous year.
1990年乘坐国内航班头等舱的人数急剧增加,比上年增加了一倍。
选项D(×):twice as 【many(×)】 as the increase in

平行对象:Independent run for the presidency = independent candidacy 独立竞选总统职位
each of whom 从句要有谓语动词,而running不是谓语
Unlike 【the independent candidacies】 of George Wallace in 1968 and John Anderson in 1980,
H. Ross Perot's 【independent run for the presidency】 in 1992 arose not from an unsuccessful effort to gain a major party nomination but from a desire to establish a viable third party in American politics.
不同于1968年乔治华莱士和1980年约翰安德森的【独立候选事宜】,
H.罗斯佩罗在1992年【参与独立竞选总统这件事】不是因为未能获得主要政党提名,而是因为希望在美国政治中建立一个可行的第三方。
