我想我理解了

问题出现在单词royalties（版税）

这个单词不理解做题目肯定不明白

学校从教职工的发明上面收取版税，教职工通过著书立作收取版费

根据授予版税的标准，比较写书和发明制作，教学软件项目跟写书比较接近

所以教职工当然应该从教学软件项目的开发中获得版税．

嗯那么我来贴一下，因为我也不是很明白

63. Even though most universities retain the royalties from faculty members' inventions, the faculty members retain the royalties from books and articles they write, Therefore, faculty members should retain the royalties from the educational computer software they develop.

The conclusion above would be more reasonably drawn if which of the following were inserted into the arguments as an additional premise?

 A．  Royalties from inventions are higher than royalties from educational software programs.

 B.   Faculty members are more likely to produce educational software programs than inventions.

 C.   Inventions bring more prestige to universities than do books and articles.

 D.   In the experience of most universities, educational software programs are more marketable than are books and articles.

 E.   In terms of the criteria used to award royalties, educational software programs are more nearly comparable to books and atricles than to inventions.(正确)

Argument Construction

Situation: Faculty members get the royalties from their books, but universities get the royalties from faculty inventions. Faculty members should get the royalties from their educational computer software.

Reasoning: What premise should be added to the argument?

           This argument needs to state as a premise its underlying assumption regarding the nature of computer programs. If they are like inventions, then universities should retain the royalties. If they are like books and articles,then faculty members should retain the royalties. The conclusion states that faculty members should receive royalties for educational software without stating that software is comparable to books. The missing premise must show the relationship between educational software and either inventions or books and articles.

我的疑问：Computer programs 与 inventions&books 的关系

                 解释的第一句话就看不懂，而且后面的like books and articles ,like inventions 又是什么意思？

                 感觉很奇怪的说...

21. When limitations were in effect on nuclear-arms testing, people tended to save more of their money, but when nuclear-arms testing increased, people tended to spend more of their money. The perceived threat of nuclear catastrophe, therefore, decreases the willingness of people to postpone consumption for the sake of saving money.

 

The argument above assumes that

A. the perceived threat of nuclear catastrophe has increased over the years.

B. most people supported the development of nuclear arms

C. people’s perception of the threat of nuclear catastrophe depends on the amount of nuclear-arms testing being done

D. the people who saved the most money when nuclear-arms testing was limited were the ones who supported such limitations
            

E. there are more consumer goods available when nuclear-arms testing increases

     本题我觉得应该选a，文中说when nuclear-arms testing increased, people tended to spend more of their money，那当threat has increased over the years,所以the willingness of saving money当然decrease了？

31. Some who favor putting governmental enterprises into private hands suggest that conservation objectives would in general be better served if private environmental groups were put in charge of operating and financing the national park system, which is now run by the government.

 

Which of the following, assuming that it is a realistic possibility, argues most strongly against the suggestion above?

A. Those seeking to abolish all restrictions on exploiting the natural resources of the parks might join the private environmental groups as members and eventually take over their leadership.

B. Private environmental groups might not always agree on the best ways to achieve conservation objectives.

C. If they wished to extend the park system, the private environmental groups might have to seek contributions from major donors and general public.

D. There might be competition among private environmental groups for control of certain park areas.
            

E. Some endangered species, such as the California condor, might die out despite the best efforts of the private environmental groups, even if those groups are not hampered by insufficient resources.

这道题为什么不选c呢？我觉得答案解释的太牵强了
