2011年8月GMAT作文機(jī)經(jīng)AA(至8.14)
27. AA 五年前搞了個(gè)比賽,三年后旅游人多了,現(xiàn)在為了刺激應(yīng)該再搞一個(gè)刺激經(jīng)濟(jì)和人數(shù)
28. 就是那個(gè)In June,把luxury cars放大廳展覽的時(shí)候,both luxury cars and inexpensive cars銷量都很好,但是九月份把inexpensive cars放前廳的時(shí)候,銷量不行,所以應(yīng)該采用六月份的方法來促進(jìn)銷售
JJ考古:說的是一個(gè)賣車的廠商把在六月重點(diǎn)展示和廣告奢侈產(chǎn)品線,二月展示了不貴的產(chǎn)品線,結(jié)果利潤在六月達(dá)到高,所以他家打算以后就重點(diǎn)搞奢侈品了啥的
V2。1.某汽車賣方發(fā)現(xiàn)大力打自己奢華車廣告的時(shí)候,自己奢華車和一般的車的銷量比較打一般車的時(shí)候的綜合銷量更高,為了獲得更高利潤,經(jīng)理決定以后都打奢華車的廣告
說是一個(gè)汽車分銷商6月在當(dāng)?shù)貓?bào)紙上打了luxury models的廣告,并且把luxury models挪到展廳顯著的位置,結(jié)果6月總的sales大漲。2月展廳顯著位置放的是不太貴的models,結(jié)果sales比較低。然后一個(gè)銷售經(jīng)理就說可見人們看到luxury models了就能選了什么variety of models,然后就建議常年把luxury models放在展廳中間。
V2. 一間車行6月份報(bào)紙廣告和展示廳都主推豪華車,結(jié)果當(dāng)月各檔車銷量都有上升。2月廣告和展示廳都主推便宜的車款,結(jié)果銷量較低。因此應(yīng)該全年廣告主打豪華車,并將豪華車放在展示廳的主要位置來吸引過客,從而增加潛在客戶并提高各款車的銷量。
V3: In January(好像是一月),we advertised luxury automobile model on the local newspaper and put the luxury automobile line in the front and central position in 好像是商場還是什么的一個(gè)地方,the combined sale of luxury models and inexpensive models reaches the highest of ?(好像是去年還是近幾年)。While we advertised inexpensive automobile models on the local newspaper and put the luxury automobile line in the front and central position in….銷售卻下降了,所以如果我們要maximize our revenue, we have to put the luxury line in front and central position ,這樣會吸引很多消費(fèi)者,這樣我們a variety of automobile 的收入就會上升。
29. Avia Airline last year做了一個(gè)survey, 一共1000人,其中9個(gè)人對baggage-handling有complaint, 于是說因?yàn)橹挥写蟾?%的人有抱怨this review is not important for the company’s goal to maintain or increase passengers. (意思是這樣)
樓主的思路是:Survey 還是很重要的,但是這個(gè)survey不好,因?yàn)镾urvey 調(diào)查的人數(shù)太少,不具有representativeness, 沒有說明調(diào)查方法,是不是一些unhappy的人都懶得抱怨后就是說survey如果能避免以上錯誤,并加強(qiáng)內(nèi)容的質(zhì)量就更好了
No.39 The following appeared in an Avia Airlines departmental memorandum:
“On average, 9 out of every 1,000 passengers who traveled on Avia Airlines last year filed a complaint about our baggage-handling procedures. This means that although some 1 percent of our passengers were unhappy with those procedures, the overwhelming majority were quite satisfied with them; thus it would appear that a review of the procedures is not important to our goal of maintaining or increasing the number of Avia’s passengers.”
40. Avia航空的部門備忘錄:
平均地,去年乘坐Avia的1000個(gè)乘客中有9個(gè)針對我們的行李處理流程寫了投訴信。這說明雖然有大約1%的乘客對這一流程表示不滿,乘客的主體對它還是滿意的。所以對流程的重新審查對我們要保持和提高Avia的乘客數(shù)這一目標(biāo)不是很重要的。
提供觀點(diǎn):
1去年是這樣今年呢以后呢?
2很有可能是乘客對服務(wù)不滿意卻沒時(shí)間正式申訴
3和別的航空公司比較如何seriousness trivialize
1, 沒有complaint不代表沒有不滿。
2, 沒有跟其他公司對比,同時(shí)并不知道總數(shù)。
30. Fun Toy Company采取了一個(gè)職工培訓(xùn)計(jì)劃program,讓senior employees volunteer to take an new employees as their apprentice, 這樣的話,new employees 就可以follow the pattern sets by the senior employees. 用這種方法, 可以減少培訓(xùn)成本,也不會time-consuming。因此,我們公司也應(yīng)該仿效該公司,采取同樣的方法來培訓(xùn)員工。
考古V1.Afun toys company successfully use the module which that senior employees take on an aprrence,讓新員工觀察老員工然后從中學(xué)習(xí). 這樣的話可以減少很多cost for training program。有人建議他們的公司應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)這個(gè)fun toys company.
V2.The cost of training the new employee plays an important role in the overall expense of a company. 象the Fun Toys Company 發(fā)起一個(gè)Apprentice Training Progam. 他們給senior empoloyee發(fā) salary bounus 如果他們自愿參加這個(gè)項(xiàng)目。在這個(gè)項(xiàng)目中new employee can learn business patterns from the senior employee這樣來降低新員工的培訓(xùn)成本。 so no more expensive and cost programs are needed. 所以我們公司也應(yīng)該象FUN Toys Company 一樣用這中項(xiàng)目降低新員工培訓(xùn)的成本!
31.是說在公司里面設(shè)置well-equipped gym,使得health insurance cost 減少50%的那個(gè)。
考古:一個(gè)研究說鍛煉的人去醫(yī)院的次數(shù)少50%,所以城市要建健身設(shè)施,可以減少醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)投入50%,減少城市財(cái)政赤字。
提供觀點(diǎn):
1. There is no causal relationship between the development of the employees’ health and the provision of a well-equipped gym.
2. Therefore, the reduction of the cost of group health insurance coverage expected by the author is not guaranteed.
3. Even if the provision of the gym can cause a reduction of the cost, no one can rely on it to achieve a balanced town budget since the health incidents occur very randomly.
32:一個(gè)制作accounting software的公司,他們制作兩種software, 一種為了專業(yè)人士,一種為了非專業(yè)人士。第一種賣的一直很好,第二種賣的不如他的競爭者的好。一個(gè)survey顯示,專業(yè)人士認(rèn)為這個(gè)公司的軟件好,是因?yàn)橛衋dvanced special feather。由此,得出結(jié)論說,如果把這些feather都加進(jìn)非專業(yè)的軟件,那么這個(gè)軟件就會大賣。
原題:
“Currently, more professional accountants use SmartPro accounting software than any other brand. However, in the market for personal accounting software for non-professionals to use in preparing their income tax returns, many of our competitors are outselling us. In surveys, our professional customers repeatedly say that they have chosen SmartPro Software because our most sophisticated software products include more advanced special features than competing brands. Therefore, the most effective way for us to increase sales of our personal accounting software for home users would clearly be to add the advanced special features that our professional software products currently offer.”
Discuss how well reasoned . . .etc.
34.學(xué)生反對學(xué)校削減項(xiàng)目開支,有200學(xué)生加入,另12000學(xué)生不是留在學(xué)校就是沒參加發(fā)對活動,作者稱200人不足以代表所有學(xué)生意見,因此政府不應(yīng)考慮學(xué)生們的反對意見。
原題:去年冬天有200個(gè)州立大學(xué)的學(xué)生去州政府*政府消減這個(gè)大學(xué)的各種項(xiàng)目費(fèi)用,但由于其他的12000名大學(xué)似乎這個(gè)問題不感興趣,他們或者呆在校園,或者休假。由于200人相對于12000來說,不具有代表性,所以州政府可以不用理睬學(xué)生的*。
The following appeared in the editorial section of a local newspaper:
“This past winter, 200 students from Waymarsh State College traveled to the state capitol building to protest against proposed cuts in funding for various state college programs. The other 12,000 Waymarsh students evidently weren’t so concerned about their education: they either stayed on campus or left for winter break. Since the group who did not protest is far more numerous, it is more representative of the state’s college students than are the protesters. Therefore the state legislature need not heed the appeals of the protesting students.”
提供觀點(diǎn):
1. 代表學(xué)生的形成方式不知道。如果是隨機(jī)產(chǎn)生的,那么去反對的學(xué)生完全可以代表學(xué)生總體。
2. 沒去的學(xué)生不一定不關(guān)心。他們可能有更重要的事情要忙。例如要趕回家過圣誕節(jié)。有已經(jīng)訂好的寒假計(jì)劃等等。
3. 此外,沒去的學(xué)生之所以沒有去很可能是因?yàn)樗麄冇X得那些代表足可以代表他們表達(dá)心聲。
35.是ice cream 的 關(guān)于在一個(gè)town開店。。說這里冬天很冷。。所以預(yù)計(jì)開店不會賺錢。
原題:
“We should not approve the business loan application of the local group that wants to open a franchise outlet for the Kool Kone chain of ice cream parlors. Frostbite is known for its cold winters, and cold weather can mean slow ice cream sales. For example, even though Frostbite is a town of 10,000 people, it has only one ice cream spot — the Frigid Cow. Despite the lack of competition, the Frigid Cow’s net revenues fell by 10 percent last winter.”
提供觀點(diǎn):
1, 排除他因,凈收入下降的原因是什么?可能是經(jīng)營不好,草率定價(jià),甚至正因?yàn)槿狈Ω偁帉?dǎo)致了這些。
2, 寒冷冬天不等于沒有夏天,也不等于夏天短暫。不能說明原因。
36.題庫原題:No.64 The following appeared in a memorandum from the director of human resources to the executive officers of
Company X:
“Last year, we surveyed our employees on improvements needed at Company X by having them rank, in order of importance, the issues presented in a list of possible improvements. Improved communications between employees and management was consistently ranked as the issue of highest importance by the employees who responded to the survey. As you know, we have since instituted regular communications sessions conducted by high-level management, which the employees can attend on a voluntary basis. Therefore, it is likely that most employees at Company X now feel that the improvement most needed at the company has been made.”
人力資源經(jīng)理給X公司的經(jīng)營主管的備忘錄:
去年,我們向員工調(diào)查他們認(rèn)為X公司應(yīng)該進(jìn)行的改進(jìn),讓他們把改進(jìn)按重要性排列。結(jié)果列印為一張可能的改進(jìn)的表格。根據(jù)調(diào)查中員工的反應(yīng),“加強(qiáng)員工和管理層的溝通”具重要性,穩(wěn)居調(diào)查表之首。如你所知,那以后我們建立了由高層管理人員組織,雇員可以自愿參加的常規(guī)交流會。因此,看來X的多數(shù)員工認(rèn)為應(yīng)該進(jìn)行的改進(jìn)已經(jīng)完成了。
提供觀點(diǎn):
1. The result of a last year’s survey does not necessarily represent the improvement most needed of this year.
2. How was the survey held has not been illustrated by the author, thus making the conclusion groundless.
3. Whether the implement of the mentioned resolution is right or wrong is still unkonwn, it is still too early to say the improvement has been made.
關(guān)閉
37. The following appeared in a presentation by the chief production manager of a machine parts manufacturing company at a management meeting:
“Our factory in Cookville is our most advanced and efficient. It is capable of producing ten drill bits for each dollar of production costs, whereas none of our other factories can produce more than seven drill bits per dollar 38.
過去十年橘類水果價(jià)格漲了很多,Magamart的檸檬價(jià)格在10年前是5美分現(xiàn)在是30美分,而且在過去的十一年中只有一年有天氣影響收成,所以應(yīng)該制定嚴(yán)格的價(jià)格規(guī)范來控制Grower的亂漲價(jià)來謀取暴利。
考古:No.92“Over the past decade, the price per pound of citrus fruit has increased
substantially. Eleven years ago, Megamart charged 15 cents a pound for lemons,
but today it commonly charges over a dollar a pound. In only one of these last
11 years was the weather unfavorable for growing citrus crops. Evidently, then,
citrus growers have been responsible for the excessive increase in the price of
citrus fruit, and strict pricing regulations are needed to prevent them from
continuing to inflate prices.”
當(dāng)?shù)貓?bào)紙的社論:
過去的10年里,桔類水果的價(jià)格實(shí)際上上升了。11年前,Megamart每個(gè)檸檬要價(jià)5分,現(xiàn)在一般要價(jià)為30分一個(gè)。過去11年只有一年不適合桔類水果生長。顯然,柑桔種植者應(yīng)該對桔類水果價(jià)格過度上漲負(fù)責(zé)。為防止他們繼續(xù)哄抬價(jià)格規(guī)范價(jià)格規(guī)定很有必要。
提供觀點(diǎn):
1, 檸檬缺乏代表性,或者說,檸檬有其特殊性,譬如檸檬都是進(jìn)口的,比較貴;
2, 天氣好不一定代表物價(jià)要低,因?yàn)榉N植柑橘的農(nóng)民已經(jīng)動用了可用的資源了,產(chǎn)量無法再多了;
3, 是否物價(jià)高就是農(nóng)民肆意抬高的緣故,可能是dealers在其中的作用;
政府是否要介入,雖然價(jià)格變貴了,但是targeted customers沒有變化,對整個(gè)國民經(jīng)濟(jì)影響不大
39. 一個(gè)產(chǎn)品中年人占消費(fèi)者的39%,年輕人占消費(fèi)者的25%。隨著中年人在未來二十年的迅猛增長。這個(gè)公司應(yīng)該要調(diào)整產(chǎn)品的生產(chǎn),用吸引中年人的產(chǎn)品替代年輕人的產(chǎn)品。
原題:The following appeared in the opinion column of a financial magazine.
“On average, middle-aged consumers devote 39 percent of their retail expenditure to department store products and services, while for younger consumers the average is only 25 percent. Since the number of middle-aged people will increase dramatically within the next decade, department stores can expect retail sales to increase significantly during that period. Furthermore, to take advantage of the trend, these stores should begin to replace some of those products intended to attract the younger consumer with products intended to attract the middle-aged consumer.”
提供觀點(diǎn):
1、The absolute value of consumption should be given by the author.
2、all things are equal
3、Whether the increase of profit gained by attracting more middle-aged consumers will be offset
4、by the reduction of profit because of the loss of young consumers.
40. 是一個(gè)百貨 做調(diào)查 加了一個(gè) phmancy銷量提升20% 所以得出結(jié)論 顧客更看重購物的方便性,所以應(yīng)該 。。。 然后應(yīng)該 增加new department 以增加 competitive advantage
[v2] 一個(gè)grocery shop去年增加了pharmacy section就導(dǎo)致了sales increase20%,所以一個(gè)人就說customers like one-stop shopping。 因此,要增加profit就要增加repair 還有一個(gè)什么部門(不記得了),還有什么什么兩個(gè)部門。。。
[v3] The total sales increased 20% after adding a pharmacy totheir grocery store. Because the customers like convenience of one-stopshopping, the manager thinks they should put clothing department to a hairsalon or restaurant…..
提供觀點(diǎn):
1、時(shí)間關(guān)系不能推出因果關(guān)系。僅因藥品專柜開在銷售額增加前,就認(rèn)為總體銷售額增加時(shí)其結(jié)果,是錯誤的
2、錯誤類比。即使銷售額增加是由藥品專柜開設(shè)引起,也不代表開設(shè)其他專柜能增加銷售額(顧客不一定更關(guān)注一條龍購物的便利)
3、增加銷售額未必增加利潤,增加服務(wù)也要增加成本
2011年8月GMAT作文機(jī)經(jīng)AA(至8.14)
27. AA 五年前搞了個(gè)比賽,三年后旅游人多了,現(xiàn)在為了刺激應(yīng)該再搞一個(gè)刺激經(jīng)濟(jì)和人數(shù)
28. 就是那個(gè)In June,把luxury cars放大廳展覽的時(shí)候,both luxury cars and inexpensive cars銷量都很好,但是九月份把inexpensive cars放前廳的時(shí)候,銷量不行,所以應(yīng)該采用六月份的方法來促進(jìn)銷售
JJ考古:說的是一個(gè)賣車的廠商把在六月重點(diǎn)展示和廣告奢侈產(chǎn)品線,二月展示了不貴的產(chǎn)品線,結(jié)果利潤在六月達(dá)到高,所以他家打算以后就重點(diǎn)搞奢侈品了啥的
V2。1.某汽車賣方發(fā)現(xiàn)大力打自己奢華車廣告的時(shí)候,自己奢華車和一般的車的銷量比較打一般車的時(shí)候的綜合銷量更高,為了獲得更高利潤,經(jīng)理決定以后都打奢華車的廣告
說是一個(gè)汽車分銷商6月在當(dāng)?shù)貓?bào)紙上打了luxury models的廣告,并且把luxury models挪到展廳顯著的位置,結(jié)果6月總的sales大漲。2月展廳顯著位置放的是不太貴的models,結(jié)果sales比較低。然后一個(gè)銷售經(jīng)理就說可見人們看到luxury models了就能選了什么variety of models,然后就建議常年把luxury models放在展廳中間。
V2. 一間車行6月份報(bào)紙廣告和展示廳都主推豪華車,結(jié)果當(dāng)月各檔車銷量都有上升。2月廣告和展示廳都主推便宜的車款,結(jié)果銷量較低。因此應(yīng)該全年廣告主打豪華車,并將豪華車放在展示廳的主要位置來吸引過客,從而增加潛在客戶并提高各款車的銷量。
V3: In January(好像是一月),we advertised luxury automobile model on the local newspaper and put the luxury automobile line in the front and central position in 好像是商場還是什么的一個(gè)地方,the combined sale of luxury models and inexpensive models reaches the highest of ?(好像是去年還是近幾年)。While we advertised inexpensive automobile models on the local newspaper and put the luxury automobile line in the front and central position in….銷售卻下降了,所以如果我們要maximize our revenue, we have to put the luxury line in front and central position ,這樣會吸引很多消費(fèi)者,這樣我們a variety of automobile 的收入就會上升。
29. Avia Airline last year做了一個(gè)survey, 一共1000人,其中9個(gè)人對baggage-handling有complaint, 于是說因?yàn)橹挥写蟾?%的人有抱怨this review is not important for the company’s goal to maintain or increase passengers. (意思是這樣)
樓主的思路是:Survey 還是很重要的,但是這個(gè)survey不好,因?yàn)镾urvey 調(diào)查的人數(shù)太少,不具有representativeness, 沒有說明調(diào)查方法,是不是一些unhappy的人都懶得抱怨后就是說survey如果能避免以上錯誤,并加強(qiáng)內(nèi)容的質(zhì)量就更好了
No.39 The following appeared in an Avia Airlines departmental memorandum:
“On average, 9 out of every 1,000 passengers who traveled on Avia Airlines last year filed a complaint about our baggage-handling procedures. This means that although some 1 percent of our passengers were unhappy with those procedures, the overwhelming majority were quite satisfied with them; thus it would appear that a review of the procedures is not important to our goal of maintaining or increasing the number of Avia’s passengers.”
40. Avia航空的部門備忘錄:
平均地,去年乘坐Avia的1000個(gè)乘客中有9個(gè)針對我們的行李處理流程寫了投訴信。這說明雖然有大約1%的乘客對這一流程表示不滿,乘客的主體對它還是滿意的。所以對流程的重新審查對我們要保持和提高Avia的乘客數(shù)這一目標(biāo)不是很重要的。
提供觀點(diǎn):
1去年是這樣今年呢以后呢?
2很有可能是乘客對服務(wù)不滿意卻沒時(shí)間正式申訴
3和別的航空公司比較如何seriousness trivialize
1, 沒有complaint不代表沒有不滿。
2, 沒有跟其他公司對比,同時(shí)并不知道總數(shù)。
30. Fun Toy Company采取了一個(gè)職工培訓(xùn)計(jì)劃program,讓senior employees volunteer to take an new employees as their apprentice, 這樣的話,new employees 就可以follow the pattern sets by the senior employees. 用這種方法, 可以減少培訓(xùn)成本,也不會time-consuming。因此,我們公司也應(yīng)該仿效該公司,采取同樣的方法來培訓(xùn)員工。
考古V1.Afun toys company successfully use the module which that senior employees take on an aprrence,讓新員工觀察老員工然后從中學(xué)習(xí). 這樣的話可以減少很多cost for training program。有人建議他們的公司應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)這個(gè)fun toys company.
V2.The cost of training the new employee plays an important role in the overall expense of a company. 象the Fun Toys Company 發(fā)起一個(gè)Apprentice Training Progam. 他們給senior empoloyee發(fā) salary bounus 如果他們自愿參加這個(gè)項(xiàng)目。在這個(gè)項(xiàng)目中new employee can learn business patterns from the senior employee這樣來降低新員工的培訓(xùn)成本。 so no more expensive and cost programs are needed. 所以我們公司也應(yīng)該象FUN Toys Company 一樣用這中項(xiàng)目降低新員工培訓(xùn)的成本!
31.是說在公司里面設(shè)置well-equipped gym,使得health insurance cost 減少50%的那個(gè)。
考古:一個(gè)研究說鍛煉的人去醫(yī)院的次數(shù)少50%,所以城市要建健身設(shè)施,可以減少醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)投入50%,減少城市財(cái)政赤字。
提供觀點(diǎn):
1. There is no causal relationship between the development of the employees’ health and the provision of a well-equipped gym.
2. Therefore, the reduction of the cost of group health insurance coverage expected by the author is not guaranteed.
3. Even if the provision of the gym can cause a reduction of the cost, no one can rely on it to achieve a balanced town budget since the health incidents occur very randomly.
32:一個(gè)制作accounting software的公司,他們制作兩種software, 一種為了專業(yè)人士,一種為了非專業(yè)人士。第一種賣的一直很好,第二種賣的不如他的競爭者的好。一個(gè)survey顯示,專業(yè)人士認(rèn)為這個(gè)公司的軟件好,是因?yàn)橛衋dvanced special feather。由此,得出結(jié)論說,如果把這些feather都加進(jìn)非專業(yè)的軟件,那么這個(gè)軟件就會大賣。
原題:
“Currently, more professional accountants use SmartPro accounting software than any other brand. However, in the market for personal accounting software for non-professionals to use in preparing their income tax returns, many of our competitors are outselling us. In surveys, our professional customers repeatedly say that they have chosen SmartPro Software because our most sophisticated software products include more advanced special features than competing brands. Therefore, the most effective way for us to increase sales of our personal accounting software for home users would clearly be to add the advanced special features that our professional software products currently offer.”
Discuss how well reasoned . . .etc.
34.學(xué)生反對學(xué)校削減項(xiàng)目開支,有200學(xué)生加入,另12000學(xué)生不是留在學(xué)校就是沒參加發(fā)對活動,作者稱200人不足以代表所有學(xué)生意見,因此政府不應(yīng)考慮學(xué)生們的反對意見。
原題:去年冬天有200個(gè)州立大學(xué)的學(xué)生去州政府*政府消減這個(gè)大學(xué)的各種項(xiàng)目費(fèi)用,但由于其他的12000名大學(xué)似乎這個(gè)問題不感興趣,他們或者呆在校園,或者休假。由于200人相對于12000來說,不具有代表性,所以州政府可以不用理睬學(xué)生的*。
The following appeared in the editorial section of a local newspaper:
“This past winter, 200 students from Waymarsh State College traveled to the state capitol building to protest against proposed cuts in funding for various state college programs. The other 12,000 Waymarsh students evidently weren’t so concerned about their education: they either stayed on campus or left for winter break. Since the group who did not protest is far more numerous, it is more representative of the state’s college students than are the protesters. Therefore the state legislature need not heed the appeals of the protesting students.”
提供觀點(diǎn):
1. 代表學(xué)生的形成方式不知道。如果是隨機(jī)產(chǎn)生的,那么去反對的學(xué)生完全可以代表學(xué)生總體。
2. 沒去的學(xué)生不一定不關(guān)心。他們可能有更重要的事情要忙。例如要趕回家過圣誕節(jié)。有已經(jīng)訂好的寒假計(jì)劃等等。
3. 此外,沒去的學(xué)生之所以沒有去很可能是因?yàn)樗麄冇X得那些代表足可以代表他們表達(dá)心聲。
35.是ice cream 的 關(guān)于在一個(gè)town開店。。說這里冬天很冷。。所以預(yù)計(jì)開店不會賺錢。
原題:
“We should not approve the business loan application of the local group that wants to open a franchise outlet for the Kool Kone chain of ice cream parlors. Frostbite is known for its cold winters, and cold weather can mean slow ice cream sales. For example, even though Frostbite is a town of 10,000 people, it has only one ice cream spot — the Frigid Cow. Despite the lack of competition, the Frigid Cow’s net revenues fell by 10 percent last winter.”
提供觀點(diǎn):
1, 排除他因,凈收入下降的原因是什么?可能是經(jīng)營不好,草率定價(jià),甚至正因?yàn)槿狈Ω偁帉?dǎo)致了這些。
2, 寒冷冬天不等于沒有夏天,也不等于夏天短暫。不能說明原因。
36.題庫原題:No.64 The following appeared in a memorandum from the director of human resources to the executive officers of
Company X:
“Last year, we surveyed our employees on improvements needed at Company X by having them rank, in order of importance, the issues presented in a list of possible improvements. Improved communications between employees and management was consistently ranked as the issue of highest importance by the employees who responded to the survey. As you know, we have since instituted regular communications sessions conducted by high-level management, which the employees can attend on a voluntary basis. Therefore, it is likely that most employees at Company X now feel that the improvement most needed at the company has been made.”
人力資源經(jīng)理給X公司的經(jīng)營主管的備忘錄:
去年,我們向員工調(diào)查他們認(rèn)為X公司應(yīng)該進(jìn)行的改進(jìn),讓他們把改進(jìn)按重要性排列。結(jié)果列印為一張可能的改進(jìn)的表格。根據(jù)調(diào)查中員工的反應(yīng),“加強(qiáng)員工和管理層的溝通”具重要性,穩(wěn)居調(diào)查表之首。如你所知,那以后我們建立了由高層管理人員組織,雇員可以自愿參加的常規(guī)交流會。因此,看來X的多數(shù)員工認(rèn)為應(yīng)該進(jìn)行的改進(jìn)已經(jīng)完成了。
提供觀點(diǎn):
1. The result of a last year’s survey does not necessarily represent the improvement most needed of this year.
2. How was the survey held has not been illustrated by the author, thus making the conclusion groundless.
3. Whether the implement of the mentioned resolution is right or wrong is still unkonwn, it is still too early to say the improvement has been made.

37. The following appeared in a presentation by the chief production manager of a machine parts manufacturing company at a management meeting:
“Our factory in Cookville is our most advanced and efficient. It is capable of producing ten drill bits for each dollar of production costs, whereas none of our other factories can produce more than seven drill bits per dollar 38.
過去十年橘類水果價(jià)格漲了很多,Magamart的檸檬價(jià)格在10年前是5美分現(xiàn)在是30美分,而且在過去的十一年中只有一年有天氣影響收成,所以應(yīng)該制定嚴(yán)格的價(jià)格規(guī)范來控制Grower的亂漲價(jià)來謀取暴利。
考古:No.92“Over the past decade, the price per pound of citrus fruit has increased
substantially. Eleven years ago, Megamart charged 15 cents a pound for lemons,
but today it commonly charges over a dollar a pound. In only one of these last
11 years was the weather unfavorable for growing citrus crops. Evidently, then,
citrus growers have been responsible for the excessive increase in the price of
citrus fruit, and strict pricing regulations are needed to prevent them from
continuing to inflate prices.”
當(dāng)?shù)貓?bào)紙的社論:
過去的10年里,桔類水果的價(jià)格實(shí)際上上升了。11年前,Megamart每個(gè)檸檬要價(jià)5分,現(xiàn)在一般要價(jià)為30分一個(gè)。過去11年只有一年不適合桔類水果生長。顯然,柑桔種植者應(yīng)該對桔類水果價(jià)格過度上漲負(fù)責(zé)。為防止他們繼續(xù)哄抬價(jià)格規(guī)范價(jià)格規(guī)定很有必要。
提供觀點(diǎn):
1, 檸檬缺乏代表性,或者說,檸檬有其特殊性,譬如檸檬都是進(jìn)口的,比較貴;
2, 天氣好不一定代表物價(jià)要低,因?yàn)榉N植柑橘的農(nóng)民已經(jīng)動用了可用的資源了,產(chǎn)量無法再多了;
3, 是否物價(jià)高就是農(nóng)民肆意抬高的緣故,可能是dealers在其中的作用;
政府是否要介入,雖然價(jià)格變貴了,但是targeted customers沒有變化,對整個(gè)國民經(jīng)濟(jì)影響不大
39. 一個(gè)產(chǎn)品中年人占消費(fèi)者的39%,年輕人占消費(fèi)者的25%。隨著中年人在未來二十年的迅猛增長。這個(gè)公司應(yīng)該要調(diào)整產(chǎn)品的生產(chǎn),用吸引中年人的產(chǎn)品替代年輕人的產(chǎn)品。
原題:The following appeared in the opinion column of a financial magazine.
“On average, middle-aged consumers devote 39 percent of their retail expenditure to department store products and services, while for younger consumers the average is only 25 percent. Since the number of middle-aged people will increase dramatically within the next decade, department stores can expect retail sales to increase significantly during that period. Furthermore, to take advantage of the trend, these stores should begin to replace some of those products intended to attract the younger consumer with products intended to attract the middle-aged consumer.”
提供觀點(diǎn):
1、The absolute value of consumption should be given by the author.
2、all things are equal
3、Whether the increase of profit gained by attracting more middle-aged consumers will be offset
4、by the reduction of profit because of the loss of young consumers.
40. 是一個(gè)百貨 做調(diào)查 加了一個(gè) phmancy銷量提升20% 所以得出結(jié)論 顧客更看重購物的方便性,所以應(yīng)該 。。。 然后應(yīng)該 增加new department 以增加 competitive advantage
[v2] 一個(gè)grocery shop去年增加了pharmacy section就導(dǎo)致了sales increase20%,所以一個(gè)人就說customers like one-stop shopping。 因此,要增加profit就要增加repair 還有一個(gè)什么部門(不記得了),還有什么什么兩個(gè)部門。。。
[v3] The total sales increased 20% after adding a pharmacy totheir grocery store. Because the customers like convenience of one-stopshopping, the manager thinks they should put clothing department to a hairsalon or restaurant…..
提供觀點(diǎn):
1、時(shí)間關(guān)系不能推出因果關(guān)系。僅因藥品專柜開在銷售額增加前,就認(rèn)為總體銷售額增加時(shí)其結(jié)果,是錯誤的
2、錯誤類比。即使銷售額增加是由藥品專柜開設(shè)引起,也不代表開設(shè)其他專柜能增加銷售額(顧客不一定更關(guān)注一條龍購物的便利)
3、增加銷售額未必增加利潤,增加服務(wù)也要增加成本
