1. Industry experts expect improvements in job safety
training to lead to safer work environments. A recent
survey indicated, however, that for manufacturers
who improved job safety training during the 1980s,
the number of on-the-job accidents tended to
increase in the months immediately following the
changes in the training programs.
Which one of the following, if true, most helps to
resolve the apparent discrepancy in the passage
above?
(A) A similar survey found that the number of onthe-
job accidents remained constant after job
safety training in the transportation sector
was improved.
(B) Manufacturers tend to improve their job safety
training only when they are increasing the
size of their workforce.
(C) Manufacturers tend to improve job safety
training only after they have noticed that the
number of on-the-job accidents has
increased.
(D) It is likely that the increase in the number of
on-the-job accidents experienced by many
companies was not merely a random
fluctuation.
(E) Significant safety measures, such as protective
equipment and government safety
inspections, were in place well before the
improvements in job safety training.

Hunter:  Hunters alone are blamed for the decline in Greenrock National Forest's deer population over the past ten years.  Yet clearly, black bears have also played an important role in this decline.  In the past ten years, the forest's protected black bear population has risen sharply, and examination of black bears found dead in the forest during the deer hunting season showed that a number of them had recently fed on deer.
In the hunter's argument, the boldface portion plays which of the following roles?
A. It is the main conclusion of the argument.
B. It is an objection that has been raised against the main conclusion of the argument.
C. It is a judgment that the argument opposes.
D. It is a finding that the argument seeks to explain.
E. It provides evidence in support of the main conclusion of the argument.

Early in the twentieth century, Lake Konfa became very polluted.  Recently fish populations have recovered as release of industrial pollutants has declined and the lake’s waters have become cleaner.  Fears are now being voiced that the planned construction of an oil pipeline across the lake’s bottom might revive pollution and cause the fish population to decline again.  However, a technology for preventing leaks is being installed.  Therefore, provided this technology is effective, those fears are groundless.
The argument depends on assuming which of the following?
A. Apart from development related to the pipeline, there will be no new industrial development around the lake that will create renewed pollution in its waters.
B. There is no reason to believe that the leak-preventing technology would be ineffective when installed in the pipeline in Lake Konfa.
C. The bottom of the lake does not contain toxic remnants of earlier pollution that will be stirred into the water by pipeline construction.
D. Damage to the lake’s fish populations would be the only harm that a leak of oil from the pipeline would cause.
E. The species of fish that are present in Lake Konfa now are the same as those that were in the lake before it was affected by pollution.


99. (29812-!-item-!-188;#058&004367) (GWD 12-Q22)
Denoma, a major consumer-electronics maker, had a sizable decline in sales revenue for its most recent fiscal year.  This result appears surprising, because electronics retailers report that although their overall sales were considerably lower than in the previous year, their sales revenue from Denoma models actually grew, largely thanks to some innovative and popular models that Denoma introduced.
Which of the following, if true, does most to explain the apparently surprising result?
A. Because of the need to educate the public about its new models’ capabilities, Denoma’s advertising spending was higher than normal over the period.
B. For the period at issue, Denoma’s major competitors reported declines in revenue that were, in percentage terms, greater than Denoma’s.
C. A significant proportion of Denoma’s revenue comes from making components for other consumer-electronics manufacturers.
D. Unlike some of its major competitors, Denoma has no lines of business outside consumer electronics to provide revenue when retail sales of consumer electronics are weak.
E. During the period, consumer-electronics retailers sold remaining units of Denoma’s superseded models at prices that were deeply discounted from those models’ original prices.

Brochure:  Help conserve our city’s water supply.  By converting the landscaping in your yard to a water-conserving landscape, you can greatly reduce your outdoor water use.  A water-conserving landscape is natural and attractive, and it also saves you money.
Criticism:  For most people with yards, the savings from converting to a water-conserving landscape cannot justify the expense of new landscaping, since typically the conversion would save less than twenty dollars on a homeowner’s yearly water bills.
Which of the following, if true, provides the best basis for a rebuttal of the criticism?
A. Even homeowners whose yards do not have water-conserving landscapes can conserve water by installing water-saving devices in their homes.
B. A conventional landscape generally requires a much greater expenditure on fertilizer and herbicide than does a water-conserving landscape.
C. A significant proportion of the residents of the city live in buildings that do not have yards.
D. It costs no more to put in water-conserving landscaping than it does to put in conventional landscaping.
E. Some homeowners use more water to maintain their yards than they use for all other purposes combined.

逻辑链KEY:ACCB
精练解析:
Question #1. Resolve. October 2003 LSAT, Section 1, #4. The correct answer choice is (B)
The paradox in the stimulus is: for manufacturers who improved job safety training during the 1980s there
was an increase in the number of on-the-job accidents.
Answer choice (A): This answer does not provide an explanation for the paradox in the stimulus. Some
students eliminate this answer because it addresses the transportation industry, but information about the
transportation industry could be used to analogically explain the issue in the manufacturing industry (but,
to be correct the answer would have to offer some further relevant parallel between the two industries).
Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer. If the workforce is increasing, more accidents would be
expected. Thus, safety training could improve the safety of the work environment (as measured by average
number of accidents per worker, for example) while at the same time the number of total accidents could
increase. Because this answer allows both sides to be true and it explains the circumstance in the stimulus,
this answer is correct. In Chapter Fifteen we will discuss average versus total numbers, and that will
further explain the construction of this question.
Answer choice (C): This would explain an increase in accidents before job safety training, but the issue in
the stimulus is an increase after the safety training.
Answer choice (D): This answer further confuses the issue. If the fluctuation was random, that could
explain how an increase in accidents could follow safety training. By stating that the increase was not
random, a possible cause of the scenario is eliminated.
Answer choice (E): This answer shows that the level of safety was at least minimal prior to the safety
training, but this does not help explain why an increase in accidents followed the training.

premise:improvements in job safety training  ----> safer work environments

conclusion:manufacturers who improved job safety training during the 1980s
                    ---->
                     the number of on-the-job accidents tended to increase

answer:其他原因和事故增加相关。(这里貌似不可以质疑假设前提,求指教

饭饭选择B。(差点选C~~~)

Premise: The job safety trainning has been improved.
Conclusion: The on-site accidents are increased.
Prephrase: Other reasons such as labor or improper training.
Analysis:(A) A similar survey found that the number of onthe-
job accidents remained constant after job
safety training in the transportation sector
was improved.

没有解释原因。
(B) Manufacturers tend to improve their job safety
training only when they are increasing the
size of their workforce.

这解释了accident增加的原因。
(C) Manufacturers tend to improve job safety
training only after they have noticed that the
number of on-the-job accidents has
increased.

不正确,开头明明说了training可以保障safety。
(D) It is likely that the increase in the number of
on-the-job accidents experienced by many
companies was not merely a random
fluctuation.

错误。无关选项,小几率事件。
(E) Significant safety measures, such as protective
equipment and government safety
inspections, were in place well before the
improvements in job safety training.

找不到3-1了,直接3-2吧~

P: improvements in job safety
training to lead to safer work environments

C: for manufacturers
who improved job safety training during the 1980s,
the number of on-the-job accidents tended to
increase in the months immediately following the
changes in the training programs.

Prephase: Training lead to safer work environments
         Training lead to on-the job accidents increase in the months immediately following the changes in the training programs

Answer: B(本来想选C来着,但是C中说的是出事之后才培训,那么理论上看来就应该能控制出事量,但是B也觉得怪,好像哪里有过类似的题)

B 在工作中 改进安全培训, 可以导致安全工作环境
P 调查显示,在接受安全培训一个月后, 工作中事故的数量好增加了
解释矛盾

A 只是指出另外一个现象,没有解释矛盾
B 正确, 解释了原因, 因为整体工作量大, 所以事故数量多了, 只是绝对数多了,相对数不一定.
C没解释矛盾
D也没解释
E没解释,并且说在训练之前怎样,无关
