History textbooks frequently need to be revised. The reasons for this are clear: new discoveries of documents and remains, the discovery of mistaken inferences in prior histories, the discovery of previously unnoticed relationships among data, and the application of hitherto undiscovered principles of natural science all may indicate inadequacies in current history texts. Any of these considerations may require that the past be reinterpreted in a manner that is new and more illuminating.
Which one of the following can be inferred from the argument in the passage?
OA:A. The interpretation of historical events is affected by natural science.
#2 FEIFEI71 71. More than a year ago, the city announced that police would crack down on illegally parked cars and that resources would be diverted from writing speeding tickets to ticketing illegally parked cars. But no crackdown has taken place. The police chief claims that resources have had to be diverted from writing speeding tickets to combating the city’s staggering drug problem. Yet the police are still writing as many speeding tickets as ever. Therefore, the excuse about resources being tied up in fighting drug-related crime simply is not true.
The conclusion in the passage depends on the assumption that OA:E. the police cannot continue writing as many speeding tickets as ever while diverting resources to combating drug-related crime
#3 FEIFEI72 72. A gas tax of one cent per gallon would raise one billion dollars per year at current consumption rates. Since a tax of fifty cents per gallon would therefore raise fifty billion dollars per year, it seems a perfect way to deal with the federal budget deficit. This tax would have the additional advantage that the resulting drop in the demand for gasoline would be ecologically sound and would keep our county from being too dependent on foreign oil producers.
Which one of the following most clearly identifies an error in the author’s reasoning? OA:C. The author makes incompatible assumptions.
#4 FEIFEI73 73. There is no reason why the work of scientists has to be officially confirmed before being published. There is a system in place for the confirmation or disconfirmation of scientific findings, namely, the replication of results by other scientists. Poor scientific work on the part of any one scientists, which can include anything from careless reporting practices to fraud, is not harmful. It will be exposed and rendered harmless when other scientists conduct experiments and obtain disconfirmatory results.
Which one of the following, if true, would weaken the argument? A. Scientific experiments can go unchallenged for many years before they are replicated. OA:
#5 AA66（黄金80之一，这个数字好，嘿嘿） 66. The following appeared in an article in a travel magazine. “After the airline industry began requiring airlines to report their on-time rates, Speedee Airlines achieved the number one on-time rate, with over 89 percent of its flights arriving on time each month. And now Speedee is offering more flights to more destinations than ever before. Clearly, Speedee is the best choice for today’s business traveler.”
1. 40s Info1: Historical books need frequently be revised Info2: Reason: We can almost find new things that cast doubt on previous findings Info3: These new revision can me more illuminating
Inference: Past histocial info always can be updated? (看到答案....Orz)
2. 45s Conclusion: THe police's assertion is not true Premise: The police still fine as much speeding cars as usual
Assumption: The police cannot reaalocate its recources without ticket less speeding cars
3. 40s 题我读懂了....答案太凌乱了......
4. 45s Conclusion: No need to confirm the validity of scientific research Premise: Those unvalid research results will be revised by later valid reasearch results
1. No reason to support that it is a good choice for business people ==> The on-time rate is only one aspect, they may concern about the effiency to get to some certain places. 2. Even though they care much about the on-time rates, the expected measure may actually lower the rate, since it may bring congestion to airports. 3. The data itself is suspecious ==> Since the survey asks the airplane company to report the data itself, it may be true that S company made some deliberate revisions of its data to attrack publication.

P1:More than a year ago, the city announced that police would crack down on illegally parked cars and that resources would be diverted from writing speeding tickets to ticketing illegally parked cars.
P2:But no crackdown has taken place.
P3: The police chief claims that resources have had to be diverted from writing speeding tickets to combating the city’s staggering drug problem.
P4 :Yet the police are still writing as many speeding tickets as ever.
C: Therefore, the excuse about resources being tied up in fighting drug-related crime simply is not true.
1.background: the history textbooks always change reason: as research goes on, new historical dicoveries are found,which recdify and illustrate the perspectives in current textbooks conclusion: the discoveries of natural science have influences on history textbooks
2.background: the police chief made claims to crack down illegal parked cars and divert the police resource, but nothing changes, which the chief impute to the combatting with drug crimes divert the police resource. conclusion: the police did nothing
3.background:there is a propositon that the federal deficit can be dealed with rising the gasoline tax, which also give the subsidiary advantages. premise: the tax ries will result in drop of the demand, then the production is inadequate, the economy is worsen. conclusion:to deal with deficite by rising tax will only make situation worse.
4.background:scientists'works need to be checked before publishing. premise: for poor scientists, their discoveies might be made on the base of the conclusions of other scientists, if the previous conclusions are wrong, there must be problems in their findings. conclusion: if the outcome of research does not fit with the theorical prediction, the quoted part of other scientists will be tested
