上月二戰時被G 痛宰, verbal 只有 19 分, 當時 7/11 考, 望穿秋水都等不到jj, 所以非常能體會jj對各位戰友的重要性. 這次托了有8月jj的福, verbal 進步到 40分, 所以趁記憶尚新,奉上今日機經以饗各位戰友. 因數學機經已經太多了,所以verbal 爲主,希望能對同我一般verbal較弱的戰友們能有少少幫助與信心.

TT-9-Q13:
The traditional treatment of strep infections has been a seven-day course of antibiotics, either penicillin or erythromycin. However, since many patients stop taking those drugs within three days, reinfection is common in cases where those drugs are prescribed. A new antibiotic requires only a three-day course of treatment. Therefore, reinfection will probably be less common in cases where the new antibiotic is prescribed than in cases where either penicillin or erythromycin is prescribed.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
A. Some of the people who are allergic to penicillin are likely to be allergic to the new antibiotic.
B. A course of treatment with the new antibiotic costs about the same as a course of treatment with either penicillin or erythromycin.
C. The new antibiotic has been shown to be effective in eradicating bacterial infections other than strep.
D. Some physicians have already begun to prescribe the new antibiotic instead of penicillin or erythromycin for the treatment of some strep infections.
E. Regardless of whether they take a traditional antibiotic or the new one, most patients feel fully recovered after taking the drug for three days.
Answer: E

新題
TT-9-Q29 :
The emission of sulfur dioxide when high-sulfur coal is burned is restricted by law. New coal-burning plants usually comply with the law by installing expensive equipment to filter sulfur dioxide from their emissions. These new plants could save money by installing instead less expensive cleaning equipment that chemically removes most sulfur from coal before combustion.
Which of the following, if known, would be most relevant to evaluating the claim above about how new coal-burning plants could save money?
A. Whether existing oil-burning plants are required to filter sulfur dioxide from their emissions
B. Whether the expense of installing the cleaning equipment in a new plant is less than the expense of installing the cleaning equipment in an older plant
C. Whether the process of cleaning the coal is more expensive than the process of filtering the emissions
D. Whether lawful emissions of sulfur dioxide from coal-burning plants are damaging the environment
E. Whether existing plants that use the filtering equipment could replace this equipment with the cleaning equipment and still compete with new plants that install the cleaning equipment
Answer: C
TT-17-Q30: 給小費 “ Thank you “ 題 , 略.
本月 JJ Bold face 題
Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty. It is commonly thought that this happens because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity. However, a study has found that almost all scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty entered their fields late and less than a dozen years before their creative breakthroughs. Since creative breakthroughs by scientists under forty also generally occur within a dozen years of the scientists’ entry into the field, the study’s finding strongly suggests that the real reason why scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not due to age but rather because most have spent too long in their fields.
劃綫處爲粗體字,與前人一模一樣位置, 我選的是有關 position/conclusion , 非 explanation/evidence 的選項 (消去法)
29. 價格和供需關係的原則是普遍適用的,然後進行解釋,說需求多了,價格就高。然後有說近來工人的工資提高了,但工作機會不但沒有降低,反而增加了,這說明―――――(要補全句子)我選了‘即使價格規律能够用來解釋這個現象,它也不是直接的和明顯的(答案裏好象有straight那個詞)
26.有一種食物F裏有某種成分X,攝取F較多的人中,患lung cancer的人較少,然而不能說X能减少lung cancer的結論,因爲在那些吃F較少的人中,給他們含有X的supplement,他們的lung cancer的發病率幷不底,問assumption. 我選了supplement中不含對身體有害的其他成分 (好象是答案D或E)
補充: 系運用反駁的反駁做爲假設答案, 因要控制supplement 的變項不會影響結論.
30. 對traffic accidents進行分析,發現受傷的人當中駕駛small car的人比駕駛large vehicle的人多,然後就說將來駕駛large vehicle的人會增多,問weaken,這題我不是很確定,不提供參考答案,歡迎補充。
補充: 我的印象是: 對兩車追撞的車禍分析中,駕small car 的人受傷的程度較駕large vehicle 的人還嚴重. Therefore 將來駕large vehicle的人會增多. 問weaken.
我的參考答案是 (A) 在撞上人行道pedestrian 的事故中,駕large vehicle 的人受傷程度更嚴重.
41. 說在California Coast 發掘出的ice glacier之前Condor, Vulture 和另外一動物的化石中只有Condor體內有一種 chemical。這種chemical一般是在mammal體內才能發現的。所以說正是因爲Condor吃這中mammal才導致沒有extinct, 而其他兩種動物都extinct了。問support。
補充:我的印象是該chemical是存在魚類的,所以我選的選項是 在離越接近現代的考古遺址中,發現condor 化石的,都靠近海邊.

另外前人提到 rain and snow fall 題有考到, 考點有 diction – fall 和 fell 及 主謂一致, 這樣應可找到答案了.
一題考點爲 relation 接 between A and B , 非 from A to B.
(心得)
考試過程:
不要自己嚇自己,上面的那道怪題在第二題就出現了,之後感覺都沒碰上難題:沒有排列組合,電燈泡或檢測正確率的機率,也沒有大中小盒子題. 而且做到第36題時,50+…+100的sum 那道題又出現了,但是做的過程中我要求自己一定要細心,不管題目水平多簡單, 結果 M也還有50分,算幸運的! 感恩.
做Verbal 只做到第40題未做完便 time up 了, pace 爲第10題剩 56分, 第20題剩34分(卡在帝王蝶) , 第30題剩 16 分, 30題後雖加快脚,但力保SC的每個選項看仔細. 所以經驗是未做完沒有關係,但要把握前段題目的正確率.
寫給verbal 較無把握的人
做SC 第一題爲 Unlike 的比較結構,第二題爲 more than 結構,前段的題目出現獨立主格或句尾同位語的選項不少,我大多爲先消主謂一致及代名詞 no reference. 再看句子的因果關係或類似GWD的句子邏輯套路來决定最後的答案. 至于 CR, 各位看我可以找到JJ中的8道題,便可以知道 GWD 和 JJ幷用的重要性了. 我覺得在 RC及CRJJ 的使用上是用來應急的,尤其是當在30題後時間有限時,便是利用JJ的印象去解最後一篇RC 的.
寫給其他人:
在二戰慘敗,寫jj 的時候曾寫到-希望自己儘量寫出jj給後人,在我三戰時也會有前人的jj幫助我.
Obviously, it realized !
所以看這篇文章的戰友, 不管你之後殺 G 是否成功或失敗, 都請記得要多留下 jj 幫助後人.
只要曾有付出, 必定有所獲. 最後感謝各位, 感謝老方 !
