1."Life expectancy" is the average age at death of the entire live-born population. In the middle of the nineteenth century, life expectancy in North America was 40 years, whereas now it is nearly 80 years. Thus, in those days, people must have been considered old at an age that we now consider the prime of life.

Which of the following, if true, undermines the argument above?

(A)In the middle of the nineteenth century, the population of North America was significantly smaller than it is today.

(B)Most of the gains in life expectancy in the last 150 years have come from reductions in the number of infants who die in their first year of life.

(C)Many of the people who live to an advanced age today do so only because of medical technology that was unknown in the nineteenth century.

(D)The proportion of people who die in their seventies is significantly smaller today than is the proportion of people who die in their eighties.

(E)More people in the middle of the nineteenth century engaged regularly in vigorous physical activity than do so today.

2. Scientists propose placing seismic stations on the floor of the Pacific Ocean to warn threatened coastal communities on the northwestern coast of the United States of approaching tidal waves caused by earthquakes. Since forewarned communities could take steps to evacuate, many of the injuries and deaths that would otherwise occur could be avoided if the government would implement this proposal.

The answer to which of the following questions would be most important in determining whether implementing the proposal would be likely to achieve the desired result?

(A)When was the last time that the coastal communities were threatened by an approaching tidal wave?

(B)How far below sea level would the stations be located?

(C)Would there be enough time after receiving warning of an approaching tidal wave for communities to evacuate safely?

(D)How soon after a tidal wave hits land is it safe for evacuees to return to their communities?

(E)Can the stations be equipped to collect and relay information about phenomena other than tidal waves caused by earthquakes?

3. Homeowners aged 40 to 50 are more likely to purchase ice cream and are more likely to purchase it in larger amounts than are members of any other demographic group. The popular belief that teenagers eat more ice cream than adults must, therefore, be false.

The argument is flawed primarily because the author

(A) fails to distinguish between purchasing and consuming

(B) does not supply information about homeowners in age groups other than 40 to 50

(C) depends on popular belief rather than on documented research findings

(D) does not specify the precise amount of ice cream purchased by any demographic group

(E) discusses ice cream rather than more nutritious and healthful foods

4. According to a prediction of the not-so-distant future published in 1940, electricity would revolutionize agriculture. Electrodes would be inserted into the soil, and the current between them would kill bugs and weeds and make crop plants stronger.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly indicates that the logic of the prediction above is flawed?

(A)In order for farmers to avoid electric shock while working in the fields, the current could be turned off at such times without diminishing the intended effects.

(B)If the proposed plan for using electricity were put into practice, farmers would save on chemicals now being added to the soil.

(C)It cannot be taken for granted that the use of electricity is always beneficial.

(D)Since weeds are plants, electricity would affect weeds in the same way as it would affect crop plants.

(E)Because a planting machine would need to avoid coming into contact with the electrodes, new parts for planting machines would need to be designed.

37原题The following appeared as part of an article in a magazine devoted to regional life.

“Corporations should look to the city of Helios when seeking new business opportunities or a new location. Even in the recent recession, Helios’s unemployment rate was lower than the regional average. It is the industrial center of the region, and historically it has provided more than its share of the region’s manufacturing jobs. In addition, Helios is attempting to expand its economic base by attracting companies that focus on research and development of innovative technologies.”

Discuss how well reasoned... etc.

一份面向地方生活的杂志上的一篇文章：

企业在寻找新的商机或位置时应该去Helios城。甚至在最近的衰退中，Helios的失业率也比地区平均水平低，它是地区的工业中心，历史上它提供的比它在地区制造业工作中分享的份额中更多。而且，Helios正试图通过吸引研究和发展革新技术的公司来扩张它的经济基础。

提供观点：

1.作者认为应该到该地区建厂理由是这里的失业率很高。但是却没有给出因果关系。从常理来看这是没有道理的因为失业率高的地方可能更难雇佣到雇员从而使成本增加。

2.作者认为该地区会鼓励研发，所以应该到该地区投资。但事实上就象作者说的那样该地区是制造业中心怎么可能有很多对技术和科研很熟练的人员。



1，因为H地区industrial and manufacturing比较attractive，所以那里的工人很可能只适合做这类的，如果缺乏能够做innovative technologies and research的工人labor pool，那么很可能导致失败。

2，H的低失业率更可能成为坏处。因为比如有less available work force。企业必须提高wage才能吸引他们。提高了COST。

3，错误的假设过去的成功能够代表未来。比方说已经饱和的资源、过分的竞争、以及可能出现的错误政策，都可能导致H地区的经济不再发达。

P:19th century: LE40 ;  Now: LE80
C:那时年老现在被认为壮年
Gap: LE与old和the prime of life的关系
Weaken: LE 升高因为infants死亡的减少

2.

Since forewarned communities could take steps to evacuate, many of the injuries and deaths that would otherwise occur could be avoided if the government would implement this proposal.
P: SS are placed on the floor to warn tidal waves.提前接到warn的communities会撤退
C: injuries and deaths减少
Gap：接到warn是否有足够时间撤退

3. Homeowners aged 40 to 50 are more likely to purchase ice cream and are more likely to purchase it in larger amounts than are members of any other demographic group. The popular belief that teenagers eat more ice cream than adults must, therefore, be false.
Gap: purchase IC与eat IC的关系

4. According to a prediction of the not-so-distant future published in 1940, electricity would revolutionize agriculture. Electrodes would be inserted into the soil, and the current between them would kill bugs and weeds and make crop plants stronger.
GAP: Electrodes杀死bugs weeds同时是否损害crop
