1

The__________ nature of the room was considered extraordinary by everyone, even Tamika who realized she was cleaning her own apartment at increasingly irregular intervals.
inscrutable
purified
sanitized
squalid
transient
sullied



这题我做对了，选squalid和sullied。不过后半句没完全搞懂什么意思，even Tamika who realized she was cleaning her own apartment at increasingly irregular intervals？这怎么断句啊！！even Tamika, who吗？总觉得奇奇怪怪的= =

还有一个短阅读选句子的：
Local authorities are considering an amendment to the litter law that would raise the fine for littering in the community picnic area to $1,000. Advocates say that raising the fine will make people take notice of the law. They may be correct that higher fines get more attention. Since the inception of the litter law, incremental increases in the littering fine have proven to be consistently effective at further reducing the amount of litter in the community picnic area. However, raising the fine to $1,000 would actually have the unintended effect of increasing the amount of litter in the picnic area. Picnic area users would perceive this fine to be unreasonable and unenforceable, and would disregard the litter law altogether.

这种选作者观点的我经常选错。答案是最后一句，我选了倒数第二句。。。看了解释还是不懂为什么不行，倒数第二句不是已经表明了？



3

The startling finding that variations in the rate of the Earth’s rotation depend to an unexpected        degree on the weather has necessitated a complete (ii) overhaul of the world’s timekeeping methods.
这句话求个通顺的翻译。。。



感谢各位大神_(:з」∠)_

第一题我做错了....我选的是purified，sanitized。
后面那句话的意思是  即便是对于Tamika而言，也是如此extraordinary。who引导的是定语从句修饰T,意思是T 意识到她打扫屋子的间隔越来越不规律了

Select the sentence, by clicking on the passage itself, that provides support for the author's position in the passage.
问的是为作者观点提供支持的句子，倒数第二句是作者观点，最后一句给予倒数第二句的观点支持。
"因为居民觉得新法规不可理喻，所以完全不管litter law: 证明了 "增加罚金反而会导致垃圾增多"的观点
所以支持论点的句子是最后一句。。。。。

我当时也犹豫了，不过看到了后面那个irregular。嗯，懂得你说的意思了。（虽然我还是觉得平时很少这么说，但是verbal的句子，算了不较真了....）

3月29号。我才刚做了一套manhattan。它在之前看的经验贴里评价不一，有人说准，有人说不准，我主要是当练习适应用的~robin大神好像说这题会偏难一点，建议你看一下他的贴。

我是不是在另一个贴见过你啊~你是几号考？

嗯呢，你上次发的帖子我也回了。我也是3.29考试。现在还在刷阅读...
刚才那个句子我又看了看，觉得这么翻译比较好。这座公寓实在太脏了，即使对于不爱干净的T而言也是如此。Key words是irregular,你找对的~
你是买了Manhattan的题目吗？我现在都研一了，一边上课一边make research，一边还要复习G。。实在心力憔悴

我之前买了Manhattan的一本书，送了access code。直接买好像是30刀，我觉得价钱可以接受。网站上第一套题其实是免费的，你可以先去做试试看~
你申phd的话，那G不急吧，才研一？可以慢慢刷呀 而且phd相对G可能没那么重要。。我是MA。。！
真是好累啊TAT，就像上次在帖子里说的，两头烧真的太累，羡慕脱产复习的人。。。
唉，努力吧！考成什么样至少尽力了！！！
