GMAT考試：目睹邏輯之怪現(xiàn)狀.

　　參加GMAT考試的考生，對于邏輯部分一直懷有一種特別的感覺。它似乎不同于寫作、閱讀、數(shù)學(xué)等其他部分。也許是GMAT考試的邏輯部分比較抽象，GMAT考試邏輯部分又是最好拿分和最容易提分的，所以，參加GMAT考試的考生更應(yīng)該謹(jǐn)慎對待怪相叢生的GMAT考試邏輯部分。

　　圈內(nèi)人常流行這樣一句話：“勤奮的學(xué)生學(xué)GRE，聰明的學(xué)生學(xué)GMAT, not only-but also 的學(xué)LSAT?！?/p>

　　如果說這句話多少有些道理的話，主要是指學(xué)GRE必背紅寶書，非勤奮不足以克之;而GMATer必然面對邏輯，不耍小聰明不足以析之;而LSAT需兩者俱備，方能拙巧兼用而破之。

　　今備邏輯怪題兩道，權(quán)做各位消遣、killing time之用，尤其適合大腦休閑日久，急需轉(zhuǎn)動之人;豈不聞“用進廢退”之說，the more 你用，the more你進;但請注意，對于美國這類考試，只需“小聰明”，且勿“大智慧”，otherwise心生魔翅，魂入鬼道，超越了出題者的IQ，最后落個“機關(guān)算盡太聰明，反誤了卿卿的姓名”。

　閑話少說，兩道大菜，熱氣騰騰，趁熱下箸：

　　In Patton City, days are categorized as having heavy rainfall (more than two inches),

　　moderate rainfall (more than one inch, but no more than two inches), light rainfall (at least a trace, but no more than one inch), or no rainfall. In 1990, there were fewer days with light rainfall than in 1910 and fewer with moderate rainfall, yet total rainfall for the year was 20 percent higher in 1990 than in 1910.

　　If the statements above are true, then it is also possible that in Patton City

　　A.the number of days with heavy rainfall was lower in 1990 than in 1910

　　B.the number of days with some rainfall, but no more than two inches, was the same in 1990 as in 1910

　　C.the number of days with some rainfall, but no more than two inches, was higher in 1990 than in 1910

　　D.the total number of inches of rain that fell on days with moderate rainfall in 1990 was more than twice what it had been in 1910

　　E.the average amount of rainfall per month was lower in 1990 than in 1910

　此題貌似極易，本可預(yù)估而出，沒成想五項皆出預(yù)料之外，那選什么呢?此時的窗外，陽光SUNNY，百草初綠，盎盎然，大腦必有所思，求之不得，寤寐思服， right?

　　In the United States， vacationers account for more than half of all visitors to what are technically called “pure aquariums” but for fewer than one quarter of all visitors to zoos， which usually include a “zoo aquarium” of relatively modest scope.

　　Which of the following， if true， most helps to account for the difference described above between visitors to zoos and visitors to pure aquariums?

　　A.In cities that have both a zoo and a pure aquarium， local residents are twice as likely to visit the aquarium as they are to visit the zoo.

　　B.Virtually all large metropolitan areas have zoos，whereas only a few large metropolitan areas have pure aquariums.

　　C.Over the last ten years，newly constructed pure aquariums have outnumbered newly established zoos by a factor of two to one.

　　D.People who visit a zoo in a given year are two times more likely to visit a pure aquarium that year than are people who do not visit a zoo.

　　E.The zoo aquariums of zoos that are in the same city as a pure aquarium tent to be smaller than the aquariums of zoos that have no pure aquarium nearby.

這就是本人目睹的GMAT考試邏輯之怪現(xiàn)狀。GMAT考試關(guān)鍵的不是你做了多少道題，而是有一雙發(fā)現(xiàn)“怪”的眼睛，找到怪相，不僅僅是好玩，更重要的是從GMAT考試邏輯部分的怪相中，總結(jié)背后的規(guī)律，找到GMAT考試邏輯陷阱，在日后的GMAT考試當(dāng)中規(guī)避它。
