V1.surrender:第一篇說是校醫(yī)院的quality比私人醫(yī)院差。給的理由有校醫(yī)院治愈率低，雇的人少，profit也少等等。然后說校醫(yī)院的醫(yī)生還要上課，做研究等(意思是減少了看病時間) V2. 楊yy:作文是ARGEMENT校醫(yī)院不好的那個 V3. cicifish: 說的是university hospital和personal hospital的那個~說university hospital的員工比較少,工資比較低,成功率也比較低~而且那些university hospital的doctor都要回學(xué)校教學(xué)生做研究什么的,所以影響他們的工作. 考古： 原題: No.43 The following appeared in an article in the health section of a newspaper. “There is a common misconception that university hospitals are better than community or private hospitals. This notion is unfounded, however: the university hospitals in our region employ 15 percent fewer doctors, have a 20 percent lower success rate in treating patients, make far less overall profit, and pay their medical staff considerably less than do private hospitals. Furthermore, many doctors at university hospitals typically divide their time among teaching, conducting research, and treating patients. From this it seems clear that the quality of care at university hospitals is lower than that at other kinds of hospitals.” 有一種普遍的錯誤觀念認為大學(xué)醫(yī)院比社區(qū)或私人醫(yī)院更好。這個想法是無根據(jù)的，我們地區(qū)的大學(xué)醫(yī)院較之私人醫(yī)院，少雇15%的醫(yī)生，對患者的治愈率要低20%，總體利潤要小得多，給一戶員工的待遇比私人醫(yī)院低很多。而且，很多大學(xué)醫(yī)院的醫(yī)生將他們的時間分為教學(xué)，直到研究和看病幾部分。從此可明顯看出大學(xué)醫(yī)院的服務(wù)質(zhì)量比其他醫(yī)院低。 思路： * 從一個醫(yī)院的情況就推廣到整個太草率 * 治愈率低可能是因為接受的患者得的病都比較罕見等原因造成的 * 工資低，總體利潤低，時間分配給教學(xué)都不能一定說明質(zhì)量差�？赡芷渌＠�，接受的病人少，教學(xué)研究有助于進步 范文： In this argument the author concludes that university hospitals provide no better care than private or community hospitals. The author bases this conclusion on the following claims about university hospitals: the ones in this region employ 15 percent fewer doctors; they have a 20 percent lower success rate in treating patients; they pay their staffs less money; they make less profit than community hospitals; and they utilize doctors who divide their time between teaching, research and treating patients. This argument is unconvincing for several reasons. The most egregious reasoning error in the argument is the author’s use of evidence pertaining to university hospitals in this region as the basis for a generalization about all university hospitals. The underlying assumption operative in this inference is that university hospitals in this region are representative of all university hospitals. No evidence is offered to support this gratuitous assumption. Secondly, the only relevant reason offered in support of the claim that the quality of care is lower in university hospitals than it is at other hospitals is the fact that university hospitals have a lower success rate in treating patients. But this reason is not sufficient to reach the conclusion in question unless it can be shown that the patients treated in both types of hospitals suffered from similar types of maladies. For example, if university hospitals routinely treat patients suffering from rare diseases whereas other hospitals treat only those who suffer from known diseases and illnesses, the difference in success rates would not be indicative of the quality of care received. Finally, the author assumes that the number of doctors a hospital employs, its success rate in treating patients, the amount it pays its staff, and the profits it earns are all reliable indicators of the quality of care it delivers. No evidence is offered to support this assumption nor is it obvious that any of these factors is linked to the quality of care delivered to patients. Moreover, the fact that doctors in university hospitals divide their time among many tasks fails to demonstrate that they do a poorer job of treating patients than doctors at other kinds of hospitals. In fact, it is highly likely that they do a better job because they are more knowledgeable than other doctors due to their teaching and research. In conclusion, the author’s argument is unconvincing. To strengthen the argument the author would have to demonstrate that university hospitals in this region are representative of all university hospitals, as well as establishing a causal link between the various factors cited and the quality of care delivered to patients. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文機經(jīng)AA部分，考生可以適當(dāng)借鑒，并通過練習(xí)來掌握GMAT作文的解題規(guī)律，從而順利通過GMAT考試。 GMAT考試已于12月27日更換題庫，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分機經(jīng)更新，更新日期從11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39題。 4.williammba:那個Muscle Monthly 雜志上印健身運動員使用某健身器材照片，雜志很快售光，然后就有人建議新建的健身中心也應(yīng)該使用這種器材，從而提高居民的身體素質(zhì)。 考古： 原題：62. The following appeared in the letters-to-the-editor section of a local newspaper. “Muscle Monthly, a fitness magazine that regularly features pictures of bodybuilders using state-of-the-art exercise machines, frequently sells out, according to the owner of Skyview Newsstand. To help maximize fitness levels in our town’s residents, we should, therefore, equip our new community fitness center with such machines.” 思路： @ 志和健身中心的marketing strategy不同，不能簡單apply雜志的經(jīng)驗，況且人們買雜志可能不是因為器材而是因為上面的運動員 @ 者將健身視為強身健體的途徑，但其實慢跑、游泳等都可以強身健體，而且更便宜 @ 些健身器材的質(zhì)量未經(jīng)過檢驗，值得懷疑 #如果雜志賣光得快不一定是因為這個器材好，很可能是價錢便宜，和其他的內(nèi)容。 #那些人很可能并不真正用這些機器，而只是擺出造型。 #如果是為了body-building的機器很可能不能fitness。比如，cardiovascular fitness。 *The bodybuilders may just pretend to be using the state-of-the-art exercise machines while, in fact, their excellent body conditions are due to the use of other types of equipment. And, they just do so for the advertisement purpose. *The circulation is just one of the indicators of the popularity of the magazine. What is more, I can find no direct relationship between the popularity of the magazine and the author’s suggestion that we should equip the community with the state-of-the-art excercise machine. *The machines for body building will not necessarily have the same effect on fitness. 范文： In this argument the author concludes that the new community fitness center should be equipped with the state-of-the-art exercise machines featured in Muscle Monthly magazine. In support of this recommendation two reasons are offered: (1) Muscle Monthly contains pictures of bodybuilders using such machines, and (2) Muscle Monthly is a popular magazine, as evidenced by the fact that it frequently sells out at the local newsstand. This argument is questionable on two counts. First, a major implication of the argument is that the bodybuilders pictured using the machines in Muscle Monthly magazine reached their state of fitness as a result of using these machines. The only evidence offered to support this contention, however, is the pictures in the magazine. It is possible that the bodybuilders pictured use different equipment for their workouts and are merely posing with the machines for advertising purposes. Second, the author assumes that machines that are suitable for bodybuilding will also be suitable to help maximize the fitness levels of the town’s residents. This assumption is highly questionable. Machines designed to increase muscle development are significantly different from those designed to increase cardiovascular fitness. Consequently, it is unlikely that the machines pictured in the magazine will be of much use to help maximize the fitness levels of the town’s residents. In conclusion, this argument is unconvincing. To strengthen the argument the author would have to show that the bodybuilders pictured using the exercise machines actually used the machines to reach their level of muscle development. Additionally, the author would have to show that the machines were suitable for increasing the fitness levels of the persons using them. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文機經(jīng)AA部分，考生可以適當(dāng)借鑒，并通過練習(xí)來掌握GMAT作文的解題規(guī)律，從而順利通過GMAT考試。 GMAT考試已于12月27日更換題庫，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分機經(jīng)更新，更新日期從11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39題。 5. V1.Hutaru:某廠商經(jīng)理決定streamling他家的生產(chǎn)線來提高利潤。該廠有l(wèi)uxury摩托車和standard摩托車各一條生產(chǎn)線production line，共2條。luxury摩托車的生產(chǎn)線產(chǎn)量特別少，因為luxury摩托車的部分生產(chǎn)需要由手工完成，而相比較standard摩托車的生產(chǎn)線是 自動化批量生產(chǎn)，生產(chǎn)數(shù)量巨多。該經(jīng)理認為，如果將luxury摩托車的生產(chǎn)線轉(zhuǎn)換為第二條standard摩托車的生產(chǎn)線，廠子“生產(chǎn)”的摩托車數(shù)量就 會激增，因此“利潤”也會增加。 V2. 灰撲撲：streamling luxury摩托車的那個 前面機經(jīng)有寫 6.adam1111111111:AA是OLYMPIC FOODS的那一題 考古： 原題：No.1 The following appeared as part of an annual report sent to stockholders by Olympic Foods, a processor of frozen foods. “Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday, we can expect that our long experience will enable us to minimize costs and thus maximize profits.” 思路： *false analogy: The food industry is not analogous to the color film industry. *causal oversimplification: Other factors that may contribute t to the cost decline of the printing cost should be considered and ruled out. *gratuitous assumption: The conclusion of the argument is based on a gratuitous assumption that the company can minimize cost and maximize profit because the company has been conducted for 25 years. # 錯誤類比：color film processing和processing of food不相同。problems of spoilage, contamination, and timely transportation都只影響food 不影響film. # 同時，忽略他因。是否是因為組織更有效率才使COST下降的?很可能是material necessary for the process下降了價錢。所以，兩者更不同。 # gratuitous assumption：二十五年不代表學(xué)到了很多。很可能什么都沒學(xué)到，或者技術(shù)已經(jīng)out of date. 范文： Citing facts drawn from the color-film processing industry that indicate a downward trend in the costs of film processing over a 24-year period, the author argues that Olympic Foods will likewise be able to minimize costs and thus maximize profits in the future. In support of this conclusion the author cites the general principle that “as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient.” This principle, coupled with the fact that Olympic Foods has had 25 years of experience in the food processing industry leads to the author’s rosy prediction. This argument is unconvincing because it suffers from two critical flaws. First, the author’s forecast of minimal costs and maximum profits rests on the gratuitous assumption that Olympic Foods’ “l(fā)ong experience” has taught it how to do things better. There is, however, no guarantee that this is the case. Nor does the author cite any evidence to support this assumption. Just as likely, Olympic Foods has learned nothing from its 25 years in the food-processing business. Lacking this assumption, the expectation of increased efficiency is entirely unfounded. Second, it is highly doubtful that the facts drawn from the color-film processing industry are applicable to the food processing industry. Differences between the two industries clearly outweigh the similarities, thus making the analogy highly less than valid. For example, problems of spoilage, contamination, and timely transportation all affect the food industry but are virtually absent in the film-processing industry. Problems such as these might present insurmountable obstacles that prevent lowering food-processing costs in the future. As it stands the author’s argument is not compelling. To strengthen the conclusion that Olympic Foods will enjoy minimal costs and maximum profits in the future, the author would have to provide evidence that the company has learned how to do things better as a result of its 25 years of experience. Supporting examples drawn from industries more similar to the food-processing industry would further substantiate the author’s view. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文機經(jīng)AA部分，考生可以適當(dāng)借鑒，并通過練習(xí)來掌握GMAT作文的解題規(guī)律，從而順利通過GMAT考試。 GMAT考試已于12月27日更換題庫，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分機經(jīng)更新，更新日期從11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39題。 7.Jean0113:argument是考有個manager 因為游泳池新開，帶來center使用的上升，決定新開很多別的設(shè)施。。jj里有 考古： 原題：108. The following appeared as part of a business plan created by the management of the Take Heart Fitness Center. “After opening the new swimming pool early last summer, Take Heart saw a 12 percent increase in the use of the center by members. Therefore, in order to increase the number of our members and thus our revenues, which depend on membership fees, we should continue to add new recreational facilities in subsequent years: for example, a multipurpose game room, a tennis court, and a miniature golf course. Being the only center in the area offering this range of activities would give us a competitive advantage in the health and recreation market.” 提供觀點： 1. 忽略他因。 2. 錯誤類比。 3. 收入和支出 1. causal oversimplification 2. a benefit-cost analysis should be given 3. Whether the proposed recreational facilities are popular among the people of this area is unknown. 8.V1.咖喱liujia:AA是講一個公司叫Capital Idea Investment firm,說一個district有一個Theater，一個Pizza店，一個Golf Club，這三個店在過去的兩年都有business increase，于是這個公司想在另一個district投資也開一個Theater(題里這個用的是Playhouse)，一個Pizza店和一個 Golf Club，說這樣一定也會盈利;同時還準備實施一個special program，就是說customer who patronizes at two businesses of these three can get discount at the third one, 這樣就可以促進這三個店的profit并且maximize their return. V2. leaveyoung:AA, 說一投資公司看到一個district 的三種Business : theater, Pizza, Club 在過去的三年里都有了很好的業(yè)務(wù)增長，于是投資公司計劃在另一個區(qū) 也做類似的業(yè)務(wù)，說也能夠獲得同樣的回報與增長。其中還列出了幾個如何刺激顧客消費的方法。 考古： 原題：No. 125 The following appeared as part of the business plan of the Capital Idea investment firm. “Across town in the Park Hill district, the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizza, and the Niblick Golf Club have all had business increases within the past two years. Capital Idea should therefore invest in the Roxy Playhouse, the Slice-o’-Pizza, and the Divot Golf Club, three new businesses in the Irongate district. As a condition, we should require them to participate in a special program: Any customer who patronizes two of the businesses will receive a substantial discount at the third. By motivating customers to patronize all three, we will thus contribute to the profitability of each and maximize our return.” Capital Idea投資公司的商業(yè)計劃： 在ParkHill區(qū)的Thespian劇院，Pizzazz比薩，Niblick高爾夫俱樂部在過去2年都有業(yè)務(wù)增長。因此Capital Idea應(yīng)該投資Poxy劇場，Slic-o比薩和Divot高爾夫俱樂部這3家新的Irongate區(qū)的企業(yè)。為使他們達到條件，我們應(yīng)該要求他們參加特殊的項目：任何顧客在其中兩家消費將在第三家得到折扣。通過刺激顧客在所有3家店消費，我們將增進每一家的利潤，從而使我們的回報大化。 思路： @ 過去的營業(yè)額增長不代表在另一個district開三家店生意能夠好，區(qū)域之間可能存在差異，錯誤的類比 @ 推理不充分，這種折扣政策能保證三家店的每一家都盈利么?會不會某一家店承擔(dān)了過多的折扣? # The author commits a fallacy of false analogy. # Therefore the proposal of investment in the Irongate district is groundless. No investment should be made until other factors have been considered and the benefit-cost analysis has been made. # The program suggested by the author is reckless or even ridiculous. The possible result can be the opposite of the author’s imagination because the consumers have interest of only one or two of the three stores. * The business increases occurred in the past two years. No one can guarantee the future profit. * The three new companies are not necessarily analogous to those profitable ones. * The condition that is required is absurd. There is no causal relationship between the condition and the collective profit. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文機經(jīng)AA部分，考生可以適當(dāng)借鑒，并通過練習(xí)來掌握GMAT作文的解題規(guī)律，從而順利通過GMAT考試。 GMAT考試已于12月27日更換題庫，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分機經(jīng)更新，更新日期從11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39題。 9.wangeshang700：aa：找到了考古的原題： 原題：106.The following appeared as part of a business plan by the Capital Idea Investment firm. “Currently more and more books are becoming available in electronic form — either free of charge on the Internet or for a very low price per book on CD-ROM.* People who would not pay bookstore prices will now have access to whatever book they want from their home or work computers. Consequently, literary classics are likely to be read more widely than ever before: 72 percent of those responding to a recent online survey said they would read books in electronic form, and 81 percent said they believed that reading classic works was important. Given this newly developing market, we should invest in E-Classics, a new company that sells electronic versions of literary classics.” 10. V1.f430spider:AA考的是Easy credit card company。 the executive suggests to donate half of the proceeds to a well-known environment organization, since a recent survey suggests that the public concerns about the environment issue.

The following appeared as part of a plan proposed by an executive of the Easy Credit Company to the president. “The Easy Credit Company would gain an advantage over competing credit card services if we were to donate a portion of the proceeds from the use of our cards to a well-known environmental organization in exchange for the use of its symbol or logo on our card. Since a recent poll shows that a large percentage of the public is concerned about environmental issues, this policy would attract new customers, increase use among existing customers, and enable us to charge interest rates that are higher than the lowest ones available.” 范文：In this argument the author concludes that the Easy Credit Company would gain several advantages over its competitors by donating a portion of its profits to a well-known environmental organization in exchange for the use of the organization’s logo on their credit card. The author reaches this conclusion on the basis of a recent poll that shows widespread public concern about environmental issues. Among the advantages of this policy, the author foresees an increase in credit card use by existing customers, the ability to charge higher interest rates, and the ability to attract new customers. While the author’s argument has some merit, it suffers from two critical problems. To begin with, the author assumes that the environmental organization whose logo is sought is concerned with the same environmental issues about which the poll shows widespread concern. However, the author provides no evidence that this is the case. It is possible that very few credit-card users are concerned about the issues that are the organization’s areas of concern; if so, then it is unlikely that the organization’s logo would attract much business for the Easy Credit Company. Next, the author assumes that the public’s concern about environmental issues will result in its taking steps to do something about the problem—in this case, to use the Easy Credit Company credit card. This assumption is unsupported and runs contrary to experience. Also, it is more reasonable to assume that people who are concerned about a particular cause will choose a more direct means of expressing their concern. In conclusion, the author’s argument is unconvincing as it stands. To strengthen the argument, the author must show a positive link between the environmental issues about which the public has expressed concern and the issues with which this particular environmental organization is concerned. In addition, the author must provide evidence to support the assumption that concern about a problem will cause people to do something about the problem. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文機經(jīng)AA部分，考生可以適當(dāng)借鑒，并通過練習(xí)來掌握GMAT作文的解題規(guī)律，從而順利通過GMAT考試。 GMAT考試已于12月27日更換題庫，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分機經(jīng)更新，更新日期從11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39題。 11.

V2. a0684925 :考那個Oak city跟Elm city蓋mall的那個，上個月JJ原題 V3. sonntac: OAK CITY開了個Mall，導(dǎo)致了很多問題，所以有建議ELM CITY需要慎重考慮開Mall的提議，好直接拒掉。 考古： 原題：No. 52 The following editorial appeared in the Elm City paper. “The construction last year of a shopping mall in downtown Oak City was a mistake. Since the mall has opened, a number of local businesses have closed, and the downtown area suffers from an acute parking shortage, and arrests for crime and vagrancy have increased in the nearby Oak City Park. Elm City should pay attention to the example of the Oak City mall and deny the application to build a shopping mall in Elm City.” 思路： # 作者所給出的所有問題和商場的建設(shè)都是時間上的前后關(guān)系而沒有給出證據(jù)顯示他們的因果關(guān)系 # 作者只給出了不好的結(jié)果而沒有給出好的影響很可能權(quán)衡利弊之后被選擇的是要開這個商場 # 這個商場的建立不應(yīng)該也不能由此就否定以后所有的商場的建立 * To begin with, the author fails to establish the causal relationship between the shopping mall’s opening and the closing of local businesses. * Moreover, the author’s conclusion is also based on the assumption that the shopping mall has caused the increase in crime and vagrancy. * Finally, even if the shopping mall did cause the closing of local business and the increasing crime and vagrancy in Oak City, the author’s prediction that Elm City will suffer from the same fate as Oak City is still open to doubt. 范文： (此文根據(jù)老題寫作)In this editorial the author rebukes Oak City for allowing the construction of a new downtown shopping mall. Citing a number of problems that have occurred since the building of the mail, the author concludes that the residents of Oak City have not benefited from the mail and that Oak City exercised poor judgment in allowing the mail to be built. Among the problems cited by the author are the closure of local businesses, lack of parking in the downtown area, and increased trash and litter in a city park near the mall. Moreover, the author argues that profits derived from sales are not benefiting Oak City because the owner of the mall lives in another city. The author’s argument is problematic in several respects. In the first place, the author assumes that addition of the new mall is the cause of the various problems cited. The only evidence offered to support this claim is that the construction of the mall occurred before these problems manifested themselves. However, this evidence is insufficient to establish the claim in question. A chronological relationship is only one of the indicators of a causal relationship between two events. In the second place, the author has focused only on negative effects the mall has had on the city. A more detailed analysis of the situation might reveal that the positive benefits for the city far outweigh the problems on which the author focuses. For example, new jobs might have been created for the residents of Oak City, and tax revenues might have been increased for the city. Lacking a more comprehensive analysis of the impact of the mail on Oak City, it is presumptuous on the part of the author to conclude that Oak City’s decision to allow the mall to be built was incorrect. In conclusion, the author’s argument is unconvincing. To strengthen the argument the author would have to demonstrate that the construction of the mall caused the various problems mentioned. The author would also have to show that the negative effects of the project outweighed the positive effects. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文機經(jīng)AA部分，考生可以適當(dāng)借鑒，并通過練習(xí)來掌握GMAT作文的解題規(guī)律，從而順利通過GMAT考試。 GMAT考試已于12月27日更換題庫，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分機經(jīng)更新，更新日期從11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39題。 12. v1.xalyan:Two years ago, George 開了一家restaurant，這家餐廳賣的是sandwishes(這個不是重點)，這家餐廳的地理位置比較好，附近有很多學(xué)校，所以會有很多的學(xué)生經(jīng) 常來光顧，所以這家餐廳后轉(zhuǎn)了很多錢。然后George打算在附近的towns and cities再open three new restaurants，并且plan to promote some employees in the old one to be managers at the three new restaurants. 后he expects the profits he will gain will triple.

The following appeared as part of a recommendation from the business manager of a department store. “Local clothing stores reported that their profits decreased, on average, for the three-month period between August 1 and October 31. Stores that sell products for the home reported that, on average, their profits increased during this same period. Clearly, consumers are choosing to buy products for their homes instead of clothing. To take advantage of this trend, we should reduce the size of our clothing departments and enlarge our home furnishings and household products departments.” 思路： * 衣帽部利潤↓和家具部利潤↑同時發(fā)生但不一定有必然聯(lián)系 * 三個月的時間太短不能用來得出結(jié)論 * 過去的趨勢不一定能保證未來走向 * 樣本不具有代表性 # A period of three month is too short to draw a general conclusion of the overall trend. # The past three months’ trend does not guarantee the same in the future. # Whether the reports from the local clothing stores and stores that sell products for the home are reliable or not are still open to doubt, thus making the author’s suggestion groundless. 范文： Based upon sales reports over a three-month period that indicate an increase in profits for stores that sell products for the home and a decrease in profits for clothing stores, the business manager of a department store concludes that consumers are choosing to purchase home furnishings rather than clothing. On the basis of this conclusion, the manager recommends a reduction in the size of the clothing department and an increase in the size of the home-furnishings department. This recommendation is problematic in two critical respects. In the first place, the author’s conclusion that consumers are choosing to buy products for their homes instead of clothing is based upon too small a sample. Data gathered from a three-month period is insufficient to establish the conclusion drawn from it. It is quite possible that the three-month period chosen is idiosyncratic and not representative of entire year’s sales. If so, reducing the size of the clothing departments and enlarging the home-furnishings departments may be a costly mistake. In the second place, the data collected during the three month period may be biased. The fact that the data reflects sales in local stores is cause for concern. It is possible that the sales trend in a particular location is not representative of sales in other regions. For example, sales of clothing in Florida during the winter months are likely to be quite different from sales of clothing in Alaska during the same period. In conclusion, this argument is not persuasive as it stands. A more convincing argument must provide additional sales data, collected at different periods of the year and at different locations, that substantiates the trend in question. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文機經(jīng)AA部分，考生可以適當(dāng)借鑒，并通過練習(xí)來掌握GMAT作文的解題規(guī)律，從而順利通過GMAT考試。 GMAT考試已于12月27日更換題庫，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分機經(jīng)更新，更新日期從11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39題。 14.onlylee0302放一只AA新狗狗。The employers have rights to prohibit the unhealthy behaviors of employees 不管是在工作時間還是其他時間。 15. v1.irisshao:說Provincia Airline這家航空公司的一個分析師給他們的CEO建議說：“去年的燃料油價格上漲了不少，而去年我們也增加了兩部新的flights。去年我們公司 的盈利降低了不少。盈利降低應(yīng)該不是因為油價上漲，因為其他航空公司也同樣面臨油價上漲，但他們中有一些也盈利上升了。所以問題一定出在新增加的那兩架 flights身上，建議今年把它們?nèi)咳∠��！? v2. ashley0707: 一家叫Provincia的航空公司 今年油價上漲 導(dǎo)致飛機運營成本上漲，這家P公司又增加了航線 發(fā)現(xiàn)利潤降低而又發(fā)現(xiàn)同行業(yè)的公司并沒有因為油價上漲而導(dǎo)致利潤下跌，P公司認為是新增的航線才導(dǎo)致的利潤下跌 所以要停止新航線來挽回利潤損失 v3. kiki070300123一個p飛機公司，利潤降低20%，究其原因有兩個，一個是石油價格上漲，而是新增加5條航線。然而，analyst認為石油不能作為主要原因，因為有些航線也面臨石油上漲但是利潤也上漲了，所以應(yīng)該eliminate new flights的使用 v4. ashley0707 : 一家叫Provincia的航空公司 今年油價上漲 導(dǎo)致飛機運營成本上漲，這家P公司又增加了航線 發(fā)現(xiàn)利潤降低而又發(fā)現(xiàn)同行業(yè)的公司并沒有因為油價上漲而導(dǎo)致利潤下跌 P公司認為是新增的航線才導(dǎo)致的利潤下跌 所以要停止新航線來挽回利潤損失 考古： V1: 某航空公司發(fā)現(xiàn)，上個季profits減少了20%。寫報告的人認為是燃油漲價造成的。但是他又提到，別的航空公司也面臨燃油貴的問題，但仍然有公司是improve profits.所以他后的結(jié)論就是，因為我們公司增加了新的flight, 所以燃油cost更多。為了improve profit，公司應(yīng)該eliminate the new flights we added the ealier year. V2某個航空公司去年利潤下降，他們就認為原因肯定是因為油價上漲和新開了航線中的至少一個，而去年所有的公司都經(jīng)歷了油價上漲，但仍然有公司盈利，所以油價肯定不是利潤減少的原因。因此，公司把新開的航線關(guān)閉了就可以提高利潤。 V3好像是機經(jīng)里的，什么有一個Provincia Airlines，profits下降了，CEO覺得是油價上漲或者是new flights added導(dǎo)致的。他又發(fā)現(xiàn)其他airlines雖然也面臨油價上漲問題，但是仍然有航線的利潤是上升的，因此他得出結(jié)論應(yīng)當(dāng)是new flights added導(dǎo)致了利潤下降，認為應(yīng)該減少flights added。 V4一個航空公司去年的利潤降低了。然后是因為油價的上升，導(dǎo)致了燃油費用上升。然后P航空公司增加了航班，結(jié)果導(dǎo)致了利潤降低。然而其他航空公司也面臨著油價上升，但有些卻從中盈利了。所以說是因為增設(shè)了航班導(dǎo)致了公司利潤降低。所以應(yīng)該在今年年初把新設(shè)的航班eliminate。 V5.是“Provinca(一個航空公司的名字大概這么拼) 去年的的profit 減少了，然后公司認為有2個原因1. Oil price increases 2. Add a new flight operations. 因為Oil Price 對于所有其他的航空公司也上升，但是其他的一些航空公司卻還是有increase their profit. 所以這不是原因， 那就只能是因為the new addedflight operation造成的.所以公司建議關(guān)掉這個operations. V6. JJ里說航空公司利潤下降20%是因為新加了5個flights的原因 我給的錯誤是一個是其他原因?qū)е拢褪浅怂f的2個還有非常有可能其他原因，舉例是 a well-known litigation with customers 或者 seriousflight accident happened last year 影響了reputation of thecompany. 第二個是說錯誤類比，其他公司盈利可能是因為其他原因比如更好的policy to handle the increasing oil price, while this company do notuse. V7某個航空公司去年利潤下降，他們就認為原因肯定是因為油價上漲和新開了航線中的至少一個，而去年所有的公司都經(jīng)歷了油價上漲，但仍然有公司盈利，所以油價肯定不是利潤減少的原因。因此，公司把新開的航線關(guān)閉了就可以提高利潤。 zelda愛star提供的觀點 1.FA。每家公司都是不一樣的，那個什么other airplane可能飛機比較小，耗油比較少 2.不僅僅只有這兩個原因，可能本身P的管理成本有上升。 3.別的airline可能由于別的原因?qū)е掠蛢r的上漲并不影響其profit 比如提供discount tickets. 4即使P停止，也不一定利潤上升。 思路：1.可能還有其他原因?qū)е吕麧櫹碌莾H僅因為新航線。比如公司人力成本之類的上漲 2.停止新航線不能挽回利潤損失，甚至導(dǎo)致前期投入全部作廢，損失更大 3.其他公司沒有因為油價上漲而導(dǎo)致利潤下降不代表對本公司也是同樣情況，可能其他公司技術(shù)先進省油神馬的~~~ 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文機經(jīng)AA部分，考生可以適當(dāng)借鑒，并通過練習(xí)來掌握GMAT作文的解題規(guī)律，從而順利通過GMAT考試。
