终于考完了,遇到了VQVQV。感觉第一个V很简单,但是第二个V就难爆了,跟第一个差了好几个级别,到了第三个难度有降下来了(不过还是比V1难一点)。都是2个单空,2个双空,2个三空(跟OG不一样)。
Issue:
Scientists and other researchers should focus on the benefit of the greatest number of people.
Argument:
"Homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last year that region experienced twenty days with below-average temperatures, and local weather forecasters throughout the region predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes have been built in this region during the past year. Based on these developments, we predict a large increase in the demand for heating oil. Therefore, we recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil."
V1 有一个讲English Actress的长阅读。大致是分析为什么1860(?记不清什么时候了)之后English Actresses were accepted by the audiences. 第一段都是在讲几种解释,然后一一否定掉。第二段就给出了作者支持的解释:好像是...差异来着忘了。第三段就记到说King通过影响aristocrats从而影响了audiences对Actresses的态度。有个题问道King的意义。
V3最后一个短阅读讲singsong birds吃insects. 由于temperature arising, insects migrate的时间提前了,singsong birds又是根据昼夜的长短来确定migrate的时间,所以它们的迁徙时间就比insects晚了。最后有一种birds没有虫吃,数量下降。
还有一个阅读是那个星球之间的cannibalism, 没怎么读懂,反正文章排除了几种貌似cannibalism但实际上不是的情况。有个题问到了什么是真正的cannibalism。
逻辑题有一个中风的新药和asprin。反正我选的asprin has side effect.
Q不太难,但是不知道为什么才165,郁闷呀。有一个题记得特别清楚:-5<=x<=4, -4<=y<=3, which is the least possible value of product xy? 当时理解成xy最不可能的值是多少,都做到下一个Q才反映过来应该是可能的值中最小的那个是多少。
还有270^(1/3)-10^(1/3)和80^(1/3)比大小。我当时把两个数立方之后相减,应该是选A吧。有一个图标题,就是那个给出了5个solicitors发问卷的情况,其中提到到了Solicitor D怎么怎么样,但问题问的是其他Solicitors的情况。最后一秒钟才发现自己题意理解错了,直接填成了Solicitor D的情况,悲催了。
有一个题给出了一条过原点的线与y轴成44度角,问横纵坐标的大小。注意横纵坐标都是负的。
最终成绩153+165 不知道能申请什么样的Master?
