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.”

34.學(xué)生反對學(xué)校削減項目開支，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個州立大學(xué)的學(xué)生去州政府*政府消減這個大學(xué)的各種項目費(fèi)用，但由于其他的12000名大學(xué)似乎這個問題不感興趣，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：

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)訂好的寒假計劃等等。

3. 此外，沒去的學(xué)生之所以沒有去很可能是因為他們覺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town開店。。說這里冬天很冷。。所以預(yù)計開店不會賺錢。

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：

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，甚至正因為缺乏競爭導(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.”
