1. During the past 20 years, computer scientists focused increasingly on starting and running successful businesses. However, since businesses must be profitable, computer scientists must focus on developing products that generate profit. Consequently, computer science has lost its creative aspect. Which of the following assumptions is most necessary in order for the conclusion above to be drawn from the argument above? A) All computer programs must lack creativity in order to be well received. B) Some computer scientists entirely disregarded creativity and chose instead to pursue profit. C) A program cannot be both creative and profitable. D) Computer scientists are obsessed with the profitability of their work. E) Non-profit institutions use large amounts of software.
Answer: C
2. After thousands of miles of use, the tread on many bike tires wears down. One common theory about why tires wear down contends that the perpetual friction and heat generated by the contact between the tire and pavement erode the material on the surface of the tire. However, a local scientist who is also an avid cyclist proposed a new theory for why bike tires wear down. This scientist contended that chemicals from the road's composition and chemicals from rain residue wore down the surface of the tire. Which of the following would best evaluate the veracity of the scientist's proposed theory?
A) Ride a road bike aggressively through spring rain storms. B) lace chemicals from rain water and pavement on a bike's idle tires. C) Ascertain whether chemicals from the road's composition also reside within the bike's frame. D) Ascertain whether the bike's frame is made of rust-resistant components. E) Determine the number of miles that a bike tire can be used on a wet road before wearing down.
Answer: B
3.Automation, the trademark of a modern economy, is essential to maximizing a country's economic production while minimizing its costs. Health care executives want to increase revenues while reducing costs. Consequently, they propose significantly greater automation of health care. Yet, this should be rejected. Radical automation of health care would cause patients to lose trust in the system as the health care they would receive would lack the in-person care that studies show patients desire. Which of the following expresses the main point of the argument?
A) Health care should not be heavily automated B) atients desire customized in-person care C) Trends in the general economy do not apply to the health care industry D) Health care executives are becoming too greedy E) Due to economic forces, automation of health care is eventually inevitable
Answer: A
4. For years, a considerable number of students on West County High School's track team complained about shin splints (medial tibial syndrome). However, during the most recent season, the number of students who complained about shin splints dropped significantly. School officials assert that this reduction in complaints occurred entirely as a result of the school's decision to build a new running track that provided a softer running surface, which absorbed much of the shock on the knees and shins that occurs when running and causes shin splints. Which of the following, if true, most severely weakens the school officials' explanation for the decrease in complaints about shin splints?
A) As a result of West County High School's adoption of better medical staff and new medical scanning devices, many students whose complaints would have been diagnosed in years past as an instance of shin splints are now diagnosed with a different condition. B) West County High School built its track after a number of neighboring schools with similar track teams built new tracks and each school saw the number of complaints about shin splints drop. C) This past season, members of West County High School's track team received and wore new and highly acclaimed shoes designed to soften the impact of running on the shin and knee. D) This past season, the total number of students who complained of pain while running rose. E) The maker of the new track claims that on average, complaints about shin splints fall 25% when its tracks are implemented.

Ascertain vt.查明，弄清，确定
3.34s premise: Health care executives propose significantly greater automation of health care to increase revenues while reducing costs. counter-premise: Radical automation of health care would cause patients to lose trust in the system as the health care they would receive would lack the in-person care that studies show patients desire. main point: Radical automation of health care should be rejected. answer: A) Health care should not be heavily automated
4.42s 这四道题的读题干时间挺有规律嘛！= = premise: For years, a considerable students on track team complained about SH counter-premise: However,recently the number of students who complained about SH dropps significantly. conclusion: School officials attribute the reduction in complaints to the school's decision to build a new running track that provided a softer running surface, which can reduce shin splints. weaken: the track team changes the training site answer: C) This past season, members of West County High School's track team received and wore new and highly acclaimed shoes designed to soften the impact of running on the shin and knee.
寝室聊天中~做不进越障呀~先来逻辑吧~ 1 25s Premise: Computer scientist start business. Premise: business need profit, computer scientists need to focus on making profits Conclusion: computer scientists lost their creative aspect. Guess: ensure profit will lost its creative aspect,两者不可兼得~ Choice: C
2 46s 好多不会拼得词，复述不出啦~回原文偷看去~ Premise：Tires will wear down after overused. Premise: common theory: the perpetual friction and heat generated by the contract the tired and pavement erode the material of the tires. A scientist (new theory): the chemicals from the road’s composition and from rain cause these. Conclusion:??? The scientist’ theory is better? Guess: just do sth to prove his theory. The same situation as he said, and test the tire~ Choice: B(觉得这类问题选项的出法与平时的评估题不一样哦~还是banana做的太少？) Veracity: 精确性
3 38s premise： automation，maximizing the production and minimizing the cost premise: health care executives want to maximize their production and minimize the cost, they want more automation in health care~ counter-premise:the plan should be rejected, since patient will lost their trust in the system if they lack the .... mian idea:原文推选项~ choice：A
4 37s premise: many student suffer shin splints counter-premise:the number of students who complain about skin solints droped~ coclusion:school says these was because the new running track will absorb the shock on skin when running~ guess: 给出它因~ choice：C
20s Premise: The computer industry produces the products to generate more profits. Conclusion: The computer industry losses its creativity. A: creativity cannot be generated while generating the profits. A: C
38s P: The worn down tire is caused by the friction of the road and the surface of the tire. C: The scientist opposed that the worn down tire is due to the chemical of rain and the substance of the road material. E: The evidence of errosion of chemical substance can be found from the tire. A: C(看来大家都是这道题不确定阿，B应该是说将化学物质放在idle tire上面看有什么发现？如果是Chemical产生worn down的问题，那么就是strengthen，反之就是weaken）
找到的关于C的解释,但是对于C我还有问题： {C. This method does not account for both the potential influence of chemicals from the road's composition and chemicals from rain residue on the surface of the bike tire. Simply because the manufacturer used or did not use chemicals from the road's composition within the bike's frame does not enable us to conclude that the same chemicals will or will not have a corrosive effect if applied to the bike's tires. In other words, testing effects on the bike's frame is entirely unrelated to testing effects on the bike's tires as these two components (i.e., frame and tire) are made of entirely different materials.}
如果说这个premise有两个可能是可以strengthen either 1.chemical form road composition / or 2. chemical from rain. 如果是这样，只需要解释一个就能证明是否weaken/strengthen了，为什么解释里面说是" both the potential influence of chemicals from the road's composition and chemicals from rain residue on the surface of the bike tire." 难道是evaluation的题目不用在意是否是weaken/strengthen一个或是both premises？只需要说明问题就好了？
