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。

这一题，主要区别在于by trying to与in trying to，为何in trying to好与 by呢？ 还有一个区别是划线最后的have had to与have themselves to之间的区别，为何这里不能用have themselves to呢？尤其是在划线前面已经出现了have themselves to的情况下？

没思路，不知道结合条件一及条件二如何得出X1的值...脑子不好使！

只能做到50的阶乘，乘以2的50次方，再加1 的结果 但是后面怎么思考就不清楚了，遇到这种题该如何去做，有什么直接的方法吗？

请May老师帮忙梳理一下这个题怎么用A排列或者C组合的方法算出答案，我每次遇到这种题似乎都有点毛病，不知道应该用A还是C还是结合...

条件一不是已经表明P是C的数量的两倍吗？而原文条件也说明了P或者C其中任意一个都可能为2/3的总量，而条件一表明P=2C 则总份额就是3C。C/（P+C）=1/3，可以得出答案啊，为什么不能选？

这题我认为主要考点在if与when的连用上以及consider后面接to be或者直接接noun。如果在BC选项it无指代可以排除，ADE三个选项中为何E是最优选项呢？这里情形我认为if和when都呢说得通，而且consider后面接noun或者to be在语法上没有问题。

这题正确选项E为什么which后面没有动词而是接的不定式形式，如果这样which后面就不是完整的句子了啊？

How many positive prime numbers are less than integer n? a) 14<n<20。 b) 13<n<17

这一题C，D两个选项中明显有一点不同就是一个用了but many scientist，一个用了and mant scientist. 从句意来看的话，这句话说了A提出了一个观点，但是很多科学家怀疑，然后转折P这个人之后测出来了。虽然D选项中P做的事情用过去时优于C选项中P用完成时，但我认为C选项连词用的比D好，为什么这题D选项优于C选项？
