In the country of Veltria, the past two years' broad economic recession has included a business downturn in the clothing trade, where sales are down by about 7 percent as compared to two years ago. Clothing wholesalers have found, however, that the proportion of credit extended to retailers that was paid off on time fell sharply in the first year of the recession but returned to its prerecession level in the second year. Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the change between the first and the second year of the recession in the proportion of credit not paid off on time? (A) The total amount of credit extended to retailers by clothing wholesalers increased between the first year of the recession and the second year. (B) Between the first and second years of the recession, clothing retailers in Veltria saw many of their costs, rent and utilities in particular, increase. (C) Of the considerable number of clothing retailers in Veltria who were having financial difficulties before the start of the recession, virtually all were forced to go out of business during its first year. (D) Clothing retailers in Veltria attempted to stimulate sales in the second year of the recession by discounting merchandise. (E) Relatively recession-proof segments of the clothing trade, such as work clothes, did not suffer any decrease in sales during the first year of the recession. 这道题错选了A。 思路如下： 题目问的是为什么在经济不好，衣服卖不动的情况下，第一年零售商还不上钱第二年就能还上了。讲的是零售商还钱的问题。 当时留下的是A,C,D 排除D是因为觉得，即使刺激销售量衣服打折也不能说明能还上钱。可能打折卖1块，纵使家当全卖了也不够。 排除C是因为觉得， 那些本身经济状况就很差的在第一年被淘汰掉以后，剩下的那些没说经济状况如何啊，如果也不咋地，第二年还是得淘汰啊。 A选项当时觉得，即使credit extended，对pay off on time也无太大用处，但最起码跟原文意思接近。所以选了A。

These days, publishers in Ramistan of glossy Western-style magazines rarely need to worry about interference from the government — the magazines’ content promotes consumption, and convincing Ramistan’s emerging middle class to spend their money is a key component of domestic policy. 想问选项A的and convincing是修饰谁的呢？修饰content的话为什么可以在前面加and？ 选项C为什么语法不正确呢？

plums are 75% water. prunes are 15% water. how much water must be evaporated for x kg of prunes? 这是我今天考场上的题，好像做错了。我乱选了（85x/15） 其他选项有各种 25x/85，15x/75什么的。应该怎么做？

一辆车，车轮上有一点离圆心 d cm，车子前进 D cm，问该点距离/车子前进的距离？ 1. d等于一个值 2. D等于一个值

Shoppers at Retailer R who purchased substitute items from other manufacturers on DayI paid a total amount that was approximately 78 of the total shoppers would have paid had each of them been able to purchase ProductXon Day 1. “was 和 would have paid ”都在一个从句里，怎末会有两个谓语动词？“had each of them been able to...”这部分是跟谁啊？看不懂

On his drive to work, Leo listens to one of three radio stations, A, B, or C. He first turns to A. If A is playing a song he likes, he listens to it; if not, he turns to B. If B is playing a song he likes, he listens to it; if not, he turns to C. If C is playing a song he likes, he listens to it; if not, he turns off the radio. For each station, the probability is 0.30 that at any given moment the station is playing a song Leo likes. On his drive to work, what is the probability that Leo will hear a song he likes? 这个题目的0.3为什末代指在A station 播放到了自己喜欢的？不太理解0.3到底指的是甚麽

提问叶老师，这个题我不太理解为什么appear要用单数？ D选项，what 指什么？from what 这个倒装正常语序应该怎么写？

等腰直角三角形的周长为：16+16√2 ；问斜边的长度 等腰直角三角形的非直角边一样长：那设为x 所以斜边就为（根据勾股定理）x√2 所以周长：x+x+√2 x=16+16√2 2x+√2 x=16+16√2 X=8√2 斜边就等于：16 问题：X=8√2 是怎么算出来的？

为什么算到这一步(3^2-2^2)(3^2+2^2)(3^4+2^4)就能直接算答案了（答案:5x13x97），难道有4次方的地方不继续化简吗？我怎么知道要把公式简化到哪一步？

老师好 我这道题的方法就是解二次方程，只有唯一正解才能证明是充分的。（我发现很多应用题都是这样）但是我发现解二次方程很浪费时间，考试的时候可能没那么充分的时间，怎么办呢？这道题还有更好的方法吗？谢谢老师
