因为经营一个几乎全满的商场的成本(fully occupied costs)和经营一个比较空的商场成本一样。所以为了赚取利润必须签新的租客进来。问weaken
⚠️最后结论中提到了must 该题的目的在于削弱方案的唯一性:【must】 sign up new tenants.
choice a, 商场的运营成本(operating costs)可以通过整合现有租客(consolidating currently rented spaces)的方式来降低。(√)提出了另一个方案,削弱了方案的唯一性✅
choice e, 没有一个现有的租客在可见的未来需要额外的楼层空间。(×)增强
吸烟造成许多【健康问题(本质 health problems)❤】→政府决定限制香烟。但是从香烟中获得的利润占到财政收入的10%,所以政府没办法执行禁烟令。
问weaken削弱:
A,所有【健康方面All health care ❤】in Gandania也是政府投资的 government-funded。(√),说明政府财政从香烟中减少的收入可以从医疗费用节省下来。因此可以afford to curtail the tabacoo
(√) 他因削弱:健康问题上升↑,花费也增大,政府需要承受这部分expense↑,这部分expence↑会抵消 烟草的利润profit↑,建立法律可以减少这部分支出expense↓。
B 建立此法律不会导致出口大量上升;法律不会带来出口收益,无关,排
C Gandania从烟草来的收入占比近些年保持稳定。 增强,方向反,排
D 烟草来的收入远超Gandania政府其他单一收入来源;增强,方向反,排
E 以前没有Gandania政府官员提出削减烟草的法律;跳出范围,无关,排

药商要求放松管制的原因 ←矛盾→把医生形象放进广告的动机;
放松管制的原因the reason the drug manufacturer offers for relaxing the guidelines:厂商认为观众可辨认出医生是演员,
而医生形象放入广告的动机 presumed motive for presenting the image of a physician in the advertisement:希望医生形象能说服观众买药,
显然是矛盾的-观众始终会认为医生是演员(多此一举)
(B) 确定药商希望播放广告是出于自身利益而非关心观众利益;无关比较,排
(C)用主观的观点关注观众对广告的反应,好像这些观点是客观的证据;(×)∵这些观点不是客观的证据-是厂商自己想的

Products sold under a brand name used to command premium prices because, in general, they were 【superior to nonbrand rival products 优于非品牌竞争对手的产品 ①】.
(转折)Technical expertise in product development has become so widespread, however, that special 【quality advantages are very hard to obtain质量优势↓ ②】 these days and even harder to maintain.
所以,【brand-name products】 generally neither offer higher quality nor sell at higher prices. 但是 brand names are a bigger 【marketing advantage 市场优势】 than ever.
品牌产品既不能提供更高的质量,也不能以更高的价格销售。但是它还是具有市场优势,为什么?
选项A(√) 最相关:【marketing advantage 市场优势】 指的是受更多消费者consumers喜欢,营销价值可以从消费者感性的品牌认知层面去考虑。
【Brand names】 are taken by consumers*** as a guarantee of getting a product as 【good质量好,反驳 ②质量优势↓】 as the best【rival products 竞争对手①】 .
品牌名称被消费者视为一种保证:获得与最佳竞争对手产品一样好的产品。
C选项:收购公司acquiring corporation∈无关
注意but +that 从句,考察平行:
Laboratory rats and mice live up to 40 percent longer than usual
when fed a diet 【that 从句 has at least 30 percent fewer calories than they would normally eat】 but 【that从句 otherwise contains all necessary vitamins and nutrients.】
实验室大鼠和小鼠在喂食【热量比正常情况下至少少 30%】但【却 含有所有必需的维生素和营养物质】的饮食时,寿命比平时长 40%。
【without deep-rooted vegetation“没有深根植被的覆盖”】对【hold the soil together“将土壤抓在一起”】的发生:有直接的影响,用to do,而不是for doing
Geologists have found that
streams in the Karoo basin of South Africa changed suddenly at the end of the Permian period 250 million years ago,
from the meandering shape typically found in well-vegetated zones to the braided pattern found in areas 【without deep-rooted vegetation】 to 【hold the soil together】.
地质学家发现,
在 2.5 亿年前的二叠纪末期,南非卡鲁盆地的溪流突然发生了变化,
从通常在植被茂密的地区发现的蜿蜒形状到 到 在没有根深蒂固的植被的地区为了将土壤抓在一起的编织图案。
※ amount应改为amounts。∵主语people是复数,很多人不能需要同一个足够的睡眠量。
※ also(并列)应改为为even(递进)。∵“新学习的技术”和“新的信息”之间具有程度的区别。显然地,技术相对来说更不容易被遗忘。
D选项(√)
If people do not get adequate 【amounts 复数】 of sleep, newly acquired skills and 【even 递进关系】 new factual information may not get properly encoded into their memory circuits.
如果人们没有充足的【睡眠量】,新获得的技能【甚至】新的事实信息可能无法正确地编码到他们的记忆回路中。
the number of beaver(数量清楚) = beaver's numbers(数量不清楚)
※ 根据句意:由一个母老鼠和一些工作老鼠组成consists 应该是一个群落(colony),而不是一只动物(animal)。
※ A of B,which 从句: which 可能会出现跳跃修饰A的问题
※ each colony consisting是独立主格,作状语修饰整个句子,起解释说明的作用。
选项C(√)
Naked mole rats form【colonies】 of approximately twenty animals, 【each colony】 consisting of a single reproductive female and workers that defend her.
裸鼹鼠形成大约二十只动物的【群落】,【每个群落】由一个母老鼠和一个保卫她的工作老鼠 组成。
选项A (×)
Naked mole rats form colonies of approximately twenty 【animals】, each of 【which(×)】 consists of a single reproductive female and workers that defend her.
因为"which"只能就近修饰animals,逻辑上不符合语义。
根据句意:并列关系

为解决拥堵而修路的cost >> 税收收入tax revenue,
如何改善这个问题?思路:
A选项(√)
Funding(拨款给) construction of new roads to the waterfront(修路) with a system of tolls(用¥过路费) on the new roads to the waterfront
通过对通往滨水区的新道路的收费系统¥,资助建设通往滨水区的新道路。→既可以减少拥堵,还能拿过路费tolls来补偿cost。(一箭双雕)
C选项(×)无关
Giving tax breaks (税收减免)to developers of businesses along the waterfront to offset any tax(抵税) levied on them for construction of roads or public transportation
为沿岸企业的开发商提供税收减免,以抵消对他们征收的道路或公共交通建设税。--不能解决拥堵,也没修路。
※ Plan方案推理题:
不止要看到Plan和Goal, 还要看到Why(核心问题(即隐蔽前提P),思考这个plan为何实施,因为做plan的本质就是为了解决问题)。
通常Why(核心问题(即隐蔽前提P)在原文前段可以找到。
※ 注意原文中隐蔽前提P的【限定条件】(此处为few,含否定意味):
【few employees几乎没有员工】read ……【familiarize themselves with all the rules 熟悉所有规则】. ∈隐蔽的前提P
这句话就是这个plan为什么要实施的原因(Why),要看到本质。
原文:
Although our corporation lists rules in an orientation booklet, 【few employees几乎没有员工】 read the booklet carefully enough to 【familiarize themselves with all the rules 熟悉所有规则】.
Lecturing 训斥 employees for inadvertent rule violations 因疏忽违反规则 often makes them resentful and less cooperative.
目标Goal : to improve employee adherence to rules, 提高员工对规则的遵守
计划Plan: issue gentle 【reminders about various rules】 in each issue of our 【weekly newsletter】. 周报对各种规则的温和提醒
逻辑链是:(原因)∵没有员工熟悉规则→ (解决办法)∴要实施plan →(实施后)完成目标:让员工遵守规则
问题:How 加强前提P
E. Whether most of them would usually 【read with sufficient care 足够用心地阅读(√)】 the portions of the 【weekly newsletter】that are 【reminders of rules】. 最相关,涉及隐蔽的前提P
D. Whether most of them who regularly read the 【weekly newsletter】 are 【familiar with (×)】 at least some rules。
原文第一句已经限定了P前提 :【few employees几乎没有员工】仔细阅读了手册以【familiarize themselves 熟悉】所有规则。
类比题:此题类似于OG题目(原文:教室内in the classroom的儿童 use 电脑 → 导致手腕受伤;选项:控制control group -- 教室外outside the classroom的儿童)
Some researchers suspect that magnetic fields from high-voltage power lines can cause health problems for 【people who live especially near the lines ①近】.
However 然而, this is extremely unlikely: Beyond a distance of a few feet, the strength of the magnetic fields from high-voltage power lines is less than the average strength of magnetic fields in 【homes that are not located near such lines ②远】.
文章出现两个对照组:【people who live especially near the lines ①近】 v.s. 【homes that are not located near such lines ②远】
问题:找前提P
选项里Whether:回答Yes→有效;回答no→无效。
选项A:控制另一个对照组control group(√),限定条件(包括时间、地点……)--秒选
Whether magnetic fields in 【homes that are not located near high-voltage power lines ②远】can cause health problems for the residents of those homes
C:居民不应该抱怨夜班飞机影响休息这件事
P:20年前就有夜班飞机,居民在买房子时考虑到了这个问题。
B选项取非,居民已经住了超过20年了,说明买房子的时候没有夜班飞机,因此居民可以抱怨。(削弱)√
E选项取非:有的居民可以避免却没有避免买机场附近的房子。说明居民考虑到了后果,不应该抱怨。(加强)×
※ 直接排除法:无关选项--迅速排除ABCE
※ 文章非常狡猾:
一定要注意【前提句P & 结论句C】 中各自的【指代对象】。
本题出现两个事物(类比题):A(种植的小麦)和 B(野生的小麦),问B怎么变成A。
A:【cultivated emmer wheat种植的小麦】← →【the oldest remains of cultivated emmer wheat 指代前文の种植的小麦】
B:**wild form of emmer wheat 野生的小麦**← → **emmer wheat 指代前文の野生的小麦**
同义词:种植的 cultivated= domesticated
原文:
Traces of 【cultivated emmer wheat种植的小麦】 have been found among the 【earliest agricultural remains】 of many archaeological sites in Europe and Asia.
The only place where the **wild form of emmer wheat 野生的小麦** has been found growing is a relatively narrow strip of southwest Asia.
Since 【the oldest remains of cultivated emmer wheat 指代前文の种植的小麦】yet found are from village sites in the same narrow strip, it is clear that **emmer wheat 指代前文の野生的小麦** was 【first domesticated】 somewhere in that strip.
~~~
在E&A早期农业遗址(①地) 发现了cultivated E(种植的小麦)。
在sA地发现 wild E(野生的小麦)的地方只有一处,即narrow strip(②地)
P ∵ cultivated E的最早发现地(①)是在同一片的narrow strip(②)
C ∴ E首次种植(first domesticated)在这片区域。
问题:How 增强
D 从种植前的年代开始,wild E (野生的小麦)所在这片区域气候没什么变化climatic conditions have changed very little
∈排他增强,即,控制其他条件不变(√)
A 讨论其他小麦 another wild wheat, einkorn,无关
B 谈产量yield,无关
C 提到营养价值nutritious,无关
E 如何区分 differentiate E和其他野生小麦,无关
类型:枚举推理--逻辑缺陷(=削弱题)
C:现在的欧洲画家的技巧 skills 不及几个世纪之前的画家
P:书中比较了50个当代画作和50个古代画作,而这50个当代作品没有一个可以与古代作品媲美
❤ 出现统计数据(50个旧 v.s.50个新),攻击数据样本。(样本代表性问题)
A (√ )The paintings chosen by the book's author for analysis could be 【those that most support the book's thesis】.
作者选择画的时候,专挑那种能支持这个结论的画。→ 说明样本不具有代表性,不足以支持结论。(selection bias 选择性偏差)
People buy prestige(声望、名气) when they buy a premium product(优质产品). They want to be 【associated with something special与一些特别的东西联系】. Mass-marketing techniques(大众营销技巧) and price reduction strategies(降价策略) should not be used because _____.
人们在购买优质产品时会购买声望。 他们想【与一些特别的东西联系】在一起。 不应使用大众营销技巧和降价策略,因为____。
B. continued sales depend directly on the【 maintenance of an aura of exclusivity 】(√)∵特别的东西 = 独家
B. 持续销售直接取决于【保持独家光环】
A. 【Affluent 】purchasers currently represent a shrinking portion of the population of all purchasers .(×)富裕的消费者%↓--无关

演绎推理:
原文有some,结论也要有some,这才严谨
原文:
Increases in the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the human bloodstream lower bloodstream cholesterol levels by increasing the body's capacity to rid itself of excess cholesterol.
即: HDL↑ →→ C level↓
Levels of HDL in the bloodstream of 【some individuals】 are significantly increased by a program of regular exercise and weight reduction.
即:regular exercise and weight reduction →→ 某些人的 HDL↑
※ 串起来:regular exercise and weight reduction →→ 某些人的 HDL↑ →→ 某些人的 C level↓
选项D:A program of regular exercise and weight reduction lowers cholesterol levels in the bloodstream of 【some individuals.(√)】
即:regular exercise and weight reduction →→ 某些人的C level↓
选项B:【Individuals(×)】 who do not exercise regularly have a high risk of developing high levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream late in life.
演绎推理:(得出结论C,不要出现新信息)
R:90%人认识失业者
S:But a normal, moderate level of unemployment 正常情况,适中的失业率为5%,20人里一人失业。这样如果一个人认识50人,1人或以上失业的概率很大
A选项(√)
The fact that 【90 percent of the people know someone who is unemployed,R的看法】 is 【not】 an indication that 【unemployment is abnormally high,S说这是正常的】.
90%的人认识失业的人这个事实【并不能表明not an indication that】失业率特别高。
类比推理:
原文:ask only, "Do you want to sign a petition for 【statewide 】smoking restriction?"-- 你愿意参与设立一个州级的禁烟令
题目:misleading to voters who understand the proposal as extending the 【local】 ordinances statewide? 误导民众认为这个请愿是对地方禁烟令的延申(也就是比本地的还要严格)
选项C:The 【state law】 would supersede取代 the 【local antismoking ordinances】, which contain stronger bans than the state law does.
实际上最后成型的州级禁烟令会取代本地禁烟令,而本地禁烟令 实际上要比 州级禁烟令 更严格。
