题目：

In the year following an eight-cent increase in the federal tax on a pack of cigarettes, sales of cigarettes fell ten percent.  In contrast, in the year prior to the tax increase, sales had fallen one percent.  The volume of cigarette sales is therefore strongly related to the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes.
 
The argument above requires which of following assumptions?

选项:

A、During the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes did not increase by as much as it had during the year prior to the tax increase.
B、The one percent fall in cigarette sales in the year prior to tax increase was due to a smaller tax increase.
C、The pretax price of a pack of cigarettes gradually decreased throughout the year before and the year after the tax increase.
D、For the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes was not eight or more cents lower than it had been the previous year.
E、As the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes rises, the pretax price also rises.

D

Yesterday’s closing prices of 2,420 different stocks listed on a certain stock exchange were all different from today’s closing prices. The number of stocks that closed at a higher price today than yesterday was 20 percent greater than the number that closed at a lower price. How many of the stocks closed at a higher price today than yesterday?
读不懂这段文字：为什么今天的高价格和低价格的数量会跟昨天的数量有问题，也不知道昨天的高价格和低价格的数量啊

 Displays of the aurora borealis, or ''northern lights” can heat the atmosphere over the arctic enough to affect the trajectories of ballistic missiles, induce electric currents that can cause blackouts in some areas and corrosion in north-south pipelines.
为什么8天阅读里面没有and还可以理解出induce跟heat平行？另即使加上and，为什么我从语意上也无法判断induce是跟heat平行还是to affect没有省略to的语意。总之，我没有足够方法找到induce的主语

The author of the passage suggests which of the following about the advice that the consulting firms discussed in the passage customarily give to companies attempting to control costs?
请教Tina老师，感觉这道题又暴露了我的某项能力欠缺（这回倒是抱死细节）。。这道题我选的B，选择的理由是这个advice所在的段落里都是为了说明二者相等这个myth的来源，且通过the myth is also perpetuated by the compensation consulting industry 使得二者之间建立了关系。因此我觉得B这么说没啥问题，二者都以此为核心观点。为啥不选A其实是我不太认同它所提到的方向，我觉得advice的三个论述：与咨询顾问利益相关，这个方案更易操作，这个方案会产生新的问题都推不出来fail to bring about the intended changes。产生新的问题就是没有带来intended changes吗？比如我的目的是想控制a鱼的数量，结果a鱼数量的确控制住了，但是却产生了别的问题，但我的intended change还是达到了啊。所以我觉得从产生新的问题推到没有带来预期的改变这个推论也太牵强了吧。。希望老师解答，谢谢！

Twenty-two feet long and 10 feet in diameter, the AM-1 is one of the many new satellites that is a part of 15 years effort of subjecting the interactions of Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces to detailed scrutiny from space.
请教Tina老师，这道题从15年我实在是判断不出来。。本题我在DE当中寻找差异点，排E的原因是to subject这个动作是由are发出的，而语义则很明显是想让effort发出的，然而D的修饰很明显地使得subject这个动作由effort发出的。此外，这个事情已经进行十五年了，再用to effort表示目的、表示将来是不是不太好？（做题的时候我没想到这里，只是再看subject的动作发出者，现在再看越来越觉得to do不合理了，就像开药的那个题中的begin to prescribe 和 begin prescribing似的）请老师纠正我的思路，谢谢！

Finally reaching a decision on an issue that has long been politically charged
in the Pacific Northwest, politicians decided to postpone by at least five years
an ambitious plan to protect wild salmon and other endangered fish, instead
of which they proposed a series of smaller steps, by which they intend to
protect the fish.
请教Tina老师，这道题错选了C。BC犹豫了一下，排B的理由是在进行选项对比的时候，觉得propose这件事情与前面的postpone同等重要，应当给予主动词地位，而不是像B一样使其位于了postpone动词之下。关于网上说C的 intending从逻辑上来讲不能是前面的并列句发出，我的困惑是它难道不可以就只作and后面这个句子发出的动作吗？请老师解答，谢谢！

Unlike emergency calls that travel through regular telephone lines, where they thus automatically inform the operator of the location and phone number of the caller, cellular calls require emergency operators to determine the location of the caller.
提问Tina老师，这道题通过比较对象应该对等我在AB中纠结。AB中的唯一差别在于automatically inform the operator of 究竟应该用并列还是修饰，我感觉在这里面其实都是合理的？请问老师我的判断对吗？如果对的话那么我应该从哪里去入手这道题呢？同时我还想问一下，如何判断一个句子究竟是应该用并列还是修饰呢？比如下面这道题，我选了D选项，我认为which修饰sport ulitily vehicles是合理的，相反正确答案C选项，and前后发出的主语相同（因为在and后面没有补出来另一个主语），都是前面的it，那么就变成it(指代the law）遭受了....语义不合理呢？希望老师帮忙解答一下究竟是哪里想错了？并且想知道什么时候应该用修饰，什么时候应该用并列呢？谢谢老师！

Trans World Entertainment Corporation, which owns the Record Town and Saturday Matinee retail chains, announced that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they will be closed.
提问Tina老师，这里面前后有逻辑关系，所以我在AC中徘徊。同时我看到了announced，想起来之前课上讲过，announced后面是宣布了一件事情，因为销售额不好所以店面被关闭，所以我选择了A。所以我想问问老师我这样想是哪里错了呢？之前不管是在OG还是prep中，只要后面是一件事情，那么就是用that，如果要不是一件事情，那么就可以用一个名词形式。这道题我感觉，不管是否有that，后面都是一个完整的句子（相当于一个完整的事件），所以我想问的是，这种情况下究竟是否需要+that呢？

Responding to the public's fascination with-and sometimes undue alarm over-possible threats from asteroids, a scaledeveloped by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet may collide with Earth.
请Tina老师帮忙解答一下，这道题我选了C 这里面我认为宇航员发展一个scale是为了（to rate...，）而D选项中的for rating我感觉是改变了原句中重心，语义重心直接变成了astronomers have developed a scale，感觉语义不完整，我想问的是，是不是我自己哪里错了，因为之前碰到过一种题： prep + noun + verbing 大多数都有问题，因为verbing变成了修饰，重心偏移了,那么这里的D选项可不可以理解为重心偏移呢？

Stock levels for domestic crude oil are far lower than in past years, leaving domestic oil prices vulnerable to any hints of oil supplies being disrupted in the Middle East or to any unexpected consumer demand growth possibly prompted by colder-than-normal temperatures.
提问Tina老师，我想说一下我的做题思路，让老师帮我纠正一下。我在BC中纠结，最后选了C，因为我觉得C中的平行更加清楚，因为C里面or前后把to补充出来，所以一眼就可以看出来是和前面的 any hints of oil supplies平行，所以这样来看C会比B好呢。我想问的在平行的什么情况下补出来这个to会更好呢？因为我记得有些题目里面是补出来的有些题目里面是不用补出来的？还有一个想问老师的是，我虽然错选了C，但是我感觉C里面的demand as was possibly比较奇怪，所以想问问这里面demand as...说的是什么意思呢，这里面as指的是什么呢？同时我想问一下C选项的错误在那里呢？我虽然觉得demand as was 比较奇怪，但是说不上来哪里错了 2.同时我找到了一道类似的题目，就是下面中的这三个并列could be都省略了，所以我想问的是，在并列的情况下究竟什么可以省略呢？（除了我们之前在课上讲到同一个主语可以省略之外，还有什么可以省略呢）谢谢老师！

The artist Renoir's last word was "flowers," spoken as they arranged a bouquet of roses just picked from his garden in a vase on his bedroom windowsill.
请教Tina老师，本题我错选了D。在CD比较中，我觉得as相当于一个等号，flowers怎么能够与一个事情划等号呢？所以我选了D，虽然in a vase离arrangement有点远，但语义也通。不太理解C选项为啥正确，请老师指正，谢谢！
