GWD13逻辑详解（我的复习笔记，题目后面有参考思路）
&&------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price.& Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product.& But&&&&large profits on the mew product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the mew product’s capabilities.& Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?The first is an assumption that forms the basis for a course of action that the the second presents the course of action endorsed by the argument.The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal o the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy.The first is an assumption that has been used to justif the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that assumption.The first is a consideration raised in support of a strategy t the second presents grounds in support of that consideration.The first is a consideration raised to show that adopting a certain strategy is unlikely to achieve the second is presented to explain the appeal of that strategy.ACDE(B)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the United States, of the people who moved from one state to another when they retired, the percentage who retired to Florida has decreased by three percentage points over the past ten years.& Since many local businesses in Florida cater to retirees, this decline is likely to have a noticeably negative economic effect on these businesses.Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?Florida attracts more people who move from one state to another when they retire than does any other state.The number of people who move out of Florida to accept employment in other states has increased over the past ten years.There are far more local businesses in Florida that cater to tourists than there are local businesses that cater to retirees.The total number of people who retired and moved to another state for their retirement has increased significantly over the past ten years.The number of people who left Florida when they retired to live in another state was greater last year than it was ten years ago.[D] A&& ADAnumbert and percentageGMAT------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------That the application of new technology can increase the productivity of existing coal mines is demonstrated by the case of Tribnia’s coal industry.& Coal output per miner in Tribnia is double what it was five years ago, even though no new mines have opened.&Which of the following can be properly concluded from the statement about coal output per miner in the passage?&&Which of the following can be properly concluded from the statement about coal output per miner in the passage?&&Which of the following can be properly concluded from the statement about coal output per miner in the passage?&If the number of miners working in Tribnian coal mines has remained constant in the past five years, Tribnia’s total coal production has doubled in that period of time.Any individual Tribnian coal mine that achieved an increase in overall output in the past five years has also experienced an increase in output per miner. If any new coal mines had opened in Tribnia in the past five years, then the increase in output per miner would have been even greater than it actually was. If any individual Tribnian coal mine has not increased its output per miner in the past five years, then that mine’s overall output has declined or remained constant. In Tribnia the cost of producing a given quantity of coal has declined over the past five years.又是一个数学题：每名矿工的生产率在5年时间内翻了一倍，所以A说如果矿工数量不变，那么总产量肯定是翻了一倍了。总产量＝矿工数量x每名矿工的生产率&[A]------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In parts of South America, vitamin-A deficiency is a serious health problem, especially among children.& In one region, agriculturists are attempting to improve nutrition by encouraging farmers to plant a new variety of sweet potato called SPK004 that is rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A.& The plan has good chances of success, since sweet potato is a staple of the region’s diet and agriculture, and the varieties currently grown contain little beta-carotene.Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that the plan will succeed?&Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that the plan will succeed?&Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that the plan will succeed?&&The growing conditions required by the varieties of sweet potato currently cultivated in the region are conditions in which SPK004 can flourish. The flesh of SPK004 differs from that of the currently cultivated sweet potatoes in color and texture, so traditional foods would look somewhat different when prepared from SPK004.There are no other varieties of sweet potato that are significantly richer in beta-carotene than SPK004 is.The varieties of sweet potato currently cultivated in the region contain some important nutrients that are lacking in SPK004.There are other vegetables currently grown in the region that contain more beta-carotene than the currently cultivated varieties of sweet potato do.[A]------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The spacing of the four holes on a fragment of a bone flute excavated at a Neanderthal campsite is just what is required to play the third through sixth notes of the diatonic scale—the seven-note musical scale used in much of Western music since the Renaissance.& Musicologists therefore hypothesize that the diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians.&Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis?&Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis?&Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis?&&&Bone flutes were probably the only musical instrument made by Neanderthals.No musical instrument that is known to have used a diatomic scale is of an earlier date than the flute found at the Neanderthal campsite.The flute was made from a cave-bear bone and the campsite at which the flute fragment was excavated was in a cave that also contained skeletal remains of cave bears.Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale.The cave-bear leg bone used to make the Neanderthal flute would have been long enough to make a flute capable of playing a complete diatonic scale.这个笛子只有四个孔残留，而结论认为这个四孔的骨笛就表明了当时就是7音音阶，则实际上是假定这个骨笛当时应该是至少有7孔的，e支持了这个假设。------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It is illegal to advertise prescription medications in Hedland except in professional medical journals or by mail directly to physicians.& A proposed law would allow general advertising of prescription medications.& Opponents object that, in general, laypersons lack the specialized knowledge to evaluate such advertisements and might ask their physicians for inappropriate medications.& But since physicians have the final say as to whether to prescribe a medication for a patient, the objection provides no grounds for concern.&Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the argument?&Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the argument?&Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the argument?&&&&&&Whether nonprescription medications can interact with and block the action of any prescription medications that could be advertised to the general publicWhether most prescription medication advertisements directed at the general public would be advertisements for recently developed medications newly available by prescriptionWhether prescription medication advertisements directed at the general public would appear on television and radio as well as in printWhether physicians are more likely to pay attention to advertising directed to the general public than to advertising directed to physiciansWhether physicians are likely to succumb to pressure from patients to prescribe inappropriate medications [E]ABnewly availableCD选项中应该有“医生是否会给开”这样的意思。------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GWD-8-Q31:City Official:& At City&&&&&Hospital, uninsured patients tend to have shorter stays and fewer procedures performed than do insured patients, even though insured patients, on average, have slightly less serious medical problems at the time of admission to the hospital than uninsured patients have.& Critics of the hospital have concluded that the uninsured patients are not receiving proper medical care.& However, this conclusion is almost certainly false.& Careful investigation has recently shown two things:& insured patients have much longer stays in the hospital than necessary, and they tend to have more procedures performed than are medically necessary.&&&&&&In the city official’s argument, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles? The first states the conclusion of the city official’ the second provides support for that conclusion.The first is used to support the conclusion of the city official’ the second states that conclusion.The first was used to support the conclusion drawn the second states the position that the city official’s argument opposes.The first was used to support the conclusion drawn the second provides support for the conclusion of the city official’s argument.The first states the position that the city official’ the second states the conclusion of the city official’s argument.答案：[E]CBFBCDE------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?&Davison&&&&&River farmers are currently deciding between planting winter wheat this fall or spring wheat next spring.& Winter wheat and spring wheat are usually about equally profitable.& Because of new government restrictions on the use of Davison&&&&&River water for irrigation, per acre yields for winter wheat, though not for spring wheat, would be much lower than average.& Therefore, planting spring wheat will be more profitable than planting winter wheat, since‗‗‗‗‗‗.&the smaller-than-average size of a winter wheat harvest this year would not be compensated for by higher winter wheat prices new crops of spring wheat must be planted earlier than the time at which standing crops of winter wheat are ready to be harvestedthe spring wheat that farmers in the Davison&&&&&&River region plant is well adapted to the soil of the regionspring wheat has uses that are different from those of winter wheatplanting spring wheat is more profitable than planting certain other crops, such as rye 原文意思：冬麦和春麦收益常差不多。新政府的规定使冬麦产量比春麦低。所以种春麦收益好点（指新政府规定后）。原因。。。（实质是找个支持结论的理由）。答案：因为结论是比较两种麦的收益。其他选项都和两者的收益无关。只有A。A说冬麦卖的价格高点，但顶不了产量的减少。春麦的收益还是要好点。&&&&&&&&&&& BCDE&&&&[A]A company plans to develop a prototype weeding machine that uses cutting blades with optical sensors and microprocessors that distinguish weeds from crop plants by differences in shade of color.& The inventor of the machine claims that it will reduce labor costs by virtually eliminating the need for manual weeding.&&Which of the following is a consideration in favor of the company’s implementing its plan to develop the prototype?&&There is a considerable degree of variation in shade of color between weeds of different species.The shade of color of some plants tends to change appreciably over the course of their growing season.When crops are weeded manually, overall size and leaf shape are taken into account in distinguishing crop plants from weeds.Selection and genetic manipulation allow plants of virtually any species to be economically bred to have a distinctive shade of color without altering their other characteristics.Farm laborers who are responsible for the manual weeding of crops carry out other agricultural duties at times in the growing season when extensive weeding is not necessary.&&&& [D]问的问题是：哪种情况有利于该公司实行开发除草机的计划A显然是一种不利的情况，因为文中说除草机是基于区别野草和庄稼的shade of colors而工作的，而A说：不同种类野草的shade of colors相当不一样，这样自然就对除草机基于shade of colors辨别野草增加了困难。——反之，考虑一种极端情况，如果所有野草都是同一种shade of colors，那么除草机就很容易辨别野草和庄稼了。D说：通过选种和基因控制，能够让各种庄稼在不改变其他特性的情况下都有一种独特的shade of color，这样自然有利于除草机根据shade of colors的辨别来除草了。D通过支持证据的方式支持结论。ABC对该计划不利，显然不可能是支持。E错在结论的范围是局限于在割草时因为节省劳动力所以节省成本。E说的是全年的考虑：不割草时可以干别的。所以无关。其实E也有无关标志词。A也有分类错，题目是杂草和庄稼分，而A是杂草之间分。------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Which of the following most logically completes the passage below?&&Heavy rains during Centralia’s corn planting season prevented some farmers there from planting corn.& It is now the planting season for soybeans, another of Centralia’s principal crops, and those fields originally intended for corn are dry enough for planting.& Nonetheless, even though soybean prices are unusually high at present, the farmers will leave most of these fields empty rather than plant them with soybeans, since ‗‗‗‗‗‗.&&the extensive rains have led to an increase in the price of corn some Centralian farmers anticipate serious financial losses due to the extremely wet spring planting seasonchemicals that were used to prepare the fields for corn planting would stunt the growth of soybeansthe majority of Centralia’s corn farmers were able to plant corn as they had intended, despite the wet planting seasonmany Centralian farmers grow both corn and soybeans [C]原文说：大雨在C地区的玉米种植季节阻止了农民种植玉米，现在正值种植大豆的季节，大豆是C地区的另外一种主要的农作物，这些原本要种植玉米的地区已经足够干了去种植。然而，尽管大豆的价格是非同寻常的高，农民宁可空着这些地，也不去种植大豆。问原因？C说这些原来种植玉米地的化学物质将会阻碍大都的生长。（相当于解释原因）B 与原文信息相反 those fields originally intended for corn are dry enough for planting------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Until Now, only injectable vaccines against influenza have been available.& Parents are reluctant to subject children to the pain of injections, but adults, who are at risk of serious complications from influenza, are commonly vaccinated.& A new influenza vaccine, administered painlessly in a nasal spray, is effective for children.& However, since children seldom develop serious complications from influenza, no significant public health benefit would result from widespread vaccination of children using the nasal spray.&&Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?&&Any person who has received the injectable vaccine can safely receive the nasal-spray vaccine as well.The new vaccine uses the same mechanism to ward off influenza as jnjectable vaccines do.The injectable vaccine is affordable for all adults.Adults do not contract influenza primarily from children who have influenza.The nasal spray vaccine is not effective when administered to adults.&&&&ED短文的结论是小孩用滴鼻药对公众健康没什么太大的意义, 因为小孩得了感冒不会有并发症. 但如果成年人从小孩身上传染到了感冒怎么办呢? 他们还是会有并发症出现, 还是会影响公众健康. 从而否定了愿文的结论.&E取非是nasal spray对于大人有用，但即使如此也不一定能够很有效改善公众健康，题干结论仍然有成立的可能。[此贴子已经被作者于 16:12:06编辑过]

The proportion of free oleic acid that an olive oil contains is an accurate measure of the oil’s acidity.olive oil&If the statements above are all true, which of the following conclusions is best supported by them?&When an olive oil is refined, the concentration of oleic acid in the oil is reduced.The quality of an unrefined olive oil can be determined only by accurately measuring its acidity.If an unrefined olive oil is intermediate in acidity between two other unrefined olive oils, it will also be intermediate between them in quality.Free oleic acid is the only acid that unrefined olive oil contains.People who judge the quality of unrefined olive oils actually judge those oils by their acidity, which the judges can taste.觉得那个选项都理由不充足，但倾向A选项，理由如下：原文三句话：1。实际上，未提炼橄榄油的质量不由酸性来定义2。但是，大量试验显示，未提炼橄榄油的游离油酸越少，质量越好3。（提炼后）橄榄油的游离油酸等同于橄榄有的酸性（只有游离油酸，没有其他酸）推理的结论：4。由1和2可推出未提炼橄榄油的游离油酸不等同于其酸性，即还有其他酸。5。由3和4可推出提炼的过程中，其他酸被去掉。6。在去掉其他酸的过程中，游离油酸也会相应去掉一些（去酸的过程经常是中和的过程，各种酸都要相应去掉一些）。而且由2可知游离油酸对橄榄油来说，不是好东西，能去掉多少便去掉多少。总上两点，提炼过程中，游离油酸会相应减少。即A（CONCENTRATION指浓度）B错。理由是违反1。C错。理由是由4知未提炼橄榄油中还有其他酸，而酸性取决于游离油酸和其他酸。质量却只和游离油酸有关（或者准确说原文没说出关系）。所以没法比较酸性和质量的相对关系D错。理由是违反4。E错。原文根本就没这方面的信息&C------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sunflowers growing in pots were placed, with their roots submerged, in the pond contaminated with radioactive elements.& The sun in the process, they absorbed radioactive elements.& Within twelve days, 85 percent of the radioactive elements were removed from the water, which is no less than can be accomplished with the much more expensive conventional filtration techniques.& Scientists therefore propose using sunflowers for decontamination wherever there are radioactively contaminated ponds.&Which of the following, if true, points to a limitation on the applicability of the proposed method of decontamination?&Some plants other than sunflowers can also remove radioactive elements from water.The water in many ponds contaminated with radioactive elements is so cold that it would kill sunflowers whose roots were submerged in it.Sunflowers that grow with their roots submerged in water grow less well than sunflowers growing under optimal conditions on dry land.Only species of sunflowers with large leaves can have their roots submerged in water and still keep growing.In ponds in which the circulation of the water is artificially increased, sunflowers absorb radioactive elements far faster than they do in other ponds.&& Answer: B------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[此贴子已经被作者于 15:39:38编辑过]

Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development.& They plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it.& That plan is ill-conceived:& if the farmers did sell their land, they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other bidders.& On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable.& But farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires.& And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.&In the argument as a whole, the two boldface proportions play which of the following roles?&The first presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill- the second is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection.The first presents a goal that the argument conclude the second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion.The first presents a goal that the argument concl the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion.The first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evalu the second is a judgment providing a basis for the argument’s advocacy of a particular strategy.The first presents a goal that t the second presents a situation that the argument contends must be changed if that goal is to be met in the foreseeable future.&& Answer: D：前面提了个总目标，可以达到选B是因为没有仔细的看完题目和选项B说The first presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attainedAnd that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be...A 错在&&&&&&&&第一句是全文的目标&&&&&&&&且是作者想要达成的&&&&&&&&作者reject的是 by purchasing land 这个strategyE the second presents a situation that the argument contends must be changed if that goal is to be met in the foreseeable future.must be changedby purchasing land strategy these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&by purchasing land strategy

The percentage of restaurant bills paid with given brand of credit card increases when that credit card’s logo is displayed on the tray with which the bill is prepared.B是通过加强原文证据对结论的证明力来加强结论。即B说明看到LOGO会让人想到信用卡的状况，从而影响付TIPS行为。如果信用卡的状况是不好，则付TIPS少（B所说），如果信用卡的状况好，则付TIPS多（原文证据），是一个规律的两个方面。所以加强了结论。几类特殊的支持题可以预测答案：前提和结论无密切关系的：直接支持结论因果：文章给出两件事，说一件导致另一件的，支持的答案为：无因无果或有因有果；排除它因；因果没有颠倒；因的来源没有问题充分必要：就是结论带条件的（充分必要指示词见lawyer的文章），答案为充分条件存在，必要条件一定存在。类比：两类事物具可比性调查：调查数据充分，具代表性OG的解释非常强调文章中两者的关系，relationship。本题一样，其实文章就是想建立起两者之间的relationship，LOGO会影响人们的消费行为。LOGO和消费之间有relationship。既然存在固定的ralationship，就会出现同比上升和同比下降两种情况，所以加强经常是给出同比上升或同比下降中文章所没有提到的那一种。------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GWD-4-Q16:Economist:& Tropicorp, which constantly seeks profitable investment opportunities, has been buying and clearing sections of tropical forest for cattle ranching, although pastures newly created there become useless for grazing after just a few years.& The company has not gone into rubber tapping, even though greater profits can be made from rubber tapping, which leaves the forest intact.& Thus, some environmentalists conclude that&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Tropicorp has not acted wholly out of economic self-interest.& However, these environmentalists are probably wrong.& The initial investment required for a successful rubber-tapping operation is larger than that needed for a cattle ranch.& Furthermore, there is a shortage of workers employable in rubber-tapping operations, and finally, taxes are higher on profits from rubber tapping than on profits from cattle ranching.&In the economist’s argument, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?&The first supports the conclusion of the economist’ the second calls that conclusion into question.The first states the conclusion of the economist’ the second supports that conclusion.The first supports the environmentalists’ the second states that conclusion.The first states the environmentalists’ the second states the conclusion of the economist’s argument.Each supports the conclusion of the economist’s argument.[C]&& ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GWD-4-Q15:Brochure:& Help conserve our city’s water supply.& By converting the landscaping in your yard to a water-conserving landscape, you can greatly reduce your outdoor water use.& A water-conserving landscape is natural and attractive, and it also saves you money.&Criticism:& For most people with yards, the savings from converting to a water-conserving landscape cannot justify the expense of new landscaping, since typically the conversion would save less than twenty dollars on a homeowner’s yearly water bills.&Which of the following, if true, provides the best basis for a rebuttal of the criticism?&Even homeowners whose yards do not have water-conserving landscapes can conserve water by installing water-saving devices in their homes.A conventional landscape generally requires a much greater expenditure on fertilizer and herbicide than does a water-conserving landscape.A significant proportion of the residents of the city live in buildings that do not have yards.It costs no more to put in water-conserving landscaping than it does to put in conventional landscaping.

committed.Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than

For people who immigrated to Jurania during the 1980’s, fish was less likely to be a major part of their diet than was poultry.In 1989 Juranians consumed twice as much poultry as fish.For a significant proportion of Jurania’s population, both fish and poultry products were a regular part of their diet during the 1980’s.Per capita consumption of fish in Jurania was lower in 1989 than in 1980.1.魚的消費量增加4.5%&&& 2.家禽的消費量增加9%3.人口增加6%&&&&&&&&&& 由1，3条就可推出E&[E]B的错误在于For people who immigrated to Jurania during the 1980’s, fish was less likely to be a major part of their diet than was poultry.说的是量，假设原来人有n个现在是n*(1+6%)原来消费鱼m条现在是m*(1+4.5%)原来人均消费鱼m/n现在人均消费鱼1.045m/1.06n&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& 这是一类题。显然人均消费鱼少了&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&&&&& &&&&&GWD-5-Q2:Guidebook writer:& I have visited hotels throughout the country and have noticed that in those built before 1930 the quality of the original carpentry work is generally superior to that in hotels built afterward.& Clearly carpenters working on hotels before 1930 typically worked with more skill, care, and effort than carpenters who have worked on hotels built subsequently.&&Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the guidebook writer’s argument?&&The quality of original carpentry in hotels is generally far superior to the quality of original carpentry in other structures, such as houses and stores.Hotels built since 1930 can generally accommodate more guests than those built before 1930.The materials available to carpenters working before 1930 were not significantly different in quality from the materials available to carpenters working after 1930.The better the quality of original carpentry in a building, the less likely that building is to fall into disuse and be demolished. The average length of apprenticeship for carpenters has declined significantly since 1930.D就是说，1930年以前的木工也是有好有坏，但是能留到今天的都是当初的好的木工，不好的都disuse或demolish了，所以不能以现在留下来的这些1930年以前的直接与1930年以后的做比较，削弱了原文的逻辑。E is

in Borodia.& Therefore, updated trade statistics will probably indicate that the number of televisions Borodia imports annually from Vernland has increased.&Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?&The number of television assemblers in Vernland has increased by at least as much as the number of television assemblers in Borodia has decreased.Televisions assembled in Vernland have features that televisions assembled in Borodia do not have.The average number of hours it takes a Borodian television assembler to assemble a television has not decreased significantly

helps to explain the increase?&Unlike the Wildflower Inn, Martin’s Cafe serves considerably more meals on weekends than it does on weekdays.Most of the customers of Martin’s Cafe had never dined in Riverville before this restaurant opened, and on most days Martin’s Cafe attracts more customers than it can seat.The profit per meal is higher, on average, for meals served at Martin’s Cafe than for those served at the Wildflower Inn.The Wildflower Inn is not open on Sundays, and therefore Riverville residents who choose to dine out on that day must either eat at Martin’s Cafe or go to

has an unhealthy habit is more likely to give up that habit than a person with the same habit who is unmarried.A person who smokes is much more likely than a nonsmoker to marry a person who smokes at the time of marriage, and the same is true for people who drink alcohol immoderately.Among people who marry as young adults, most of those who give up an unhealthy habit after marriage do not resume
