Q20:

Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty. It is commonly thought that this happens because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity. However, studies show that a disproportionately large number of the scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty entered their field at an older age than is usual. Since by the age of forty the large majority of scientists have been working in their field for at least fifteen years, the studies’ finding strongly suggests that the real reason why scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not that they have simply aged but rather that they generally have spent too long in a given field.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

The first is the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second is an objection that has been raised against a position defended in the argument.

The first is a claim that has been advanced in support of a position that the argument opposes; the second is a finding that has been used in support of that position.

The first is an explanation that the argument challenges; the second is a finding that has been used in support of that explanation.

The first is an explanation that the argument challenges; the second is a finding on which that challenge is based.

The first is an explanation that the argument defends; the second is a finding that has been used to challenge that explanation.

ans：D

why not A??

You might have misunderstood A, if you agree that D is the correct answer. The second is not an objection to begin with. As you can see, it is not refuting anything. It is simply a fact, not an opinion. Then, the argument is not defending a position. It is to advance a position instead.

黄色的是原来的结论的原因，也就是解释，红色的是新结论所依据的研究，绿色的是新的结论。

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

The first is the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second is an objection that has been raised against a position defended in the argument.第一句是整个话题所反对的立场，第二句是提出涞反对话题中所保护的立场。（就是说两句都是用来反对的）

The first is a claim that has been advanced in support of a position that the argument opposes; the second is a finding that has been used in support of that position.第一句用来支持话题所反对的立场，第二句是一个支持这个立场的发现。

The first is an explanation that the argument challenges; the second is a finding that has been used in support of that explanation.第一句解释了话题所反对的立场，第二句支持此解释。

The first is an explanation that the argument challenges; the second is a finding on which that challenge is based. 第一句是话题所反对的立场的解释，第二句是这个反对意见所依据的发现。

The first is an explanation that the argument defends; the second is a finding that has been used to challenge that explanation.第一句是话题所支持的立场的解释，第二句是反对这个解释的发现。

ans：D

why not A??

我的观点，请大家赐教！

Thank you,bluevironika. Let me think about it

bettyamen · 发表于 2004-12-7 03:02:00

I donot understand why chose D. who could explain again?

skyalan · 发表于 2004-12-8 15:34:00

还是不对！话题的立场是什么～如果说立场是“成就是因为时间和经验”，那么它并没有和“aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity”产生矛盾丫！相反还一定程度上支持了这个结论，那么D选项的前面部分就不正确了

按这个道理，应该选E诶！

skyalan · 发表于 2004-12-8 15:35:00

恳请大侠出来指正！

skyalan · 发表于 2004-12-20 03:07:00

up

我觉得还是选e好

后面的解释科学家的成就是因为他们投入到该领域的时间长，而不是因为increased creativity.! 证明随着年龄的增长creativity依然没有增加。因为这样,所以关于科学家这个例子的证据无法反驳作者的argument"Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty. It is commonly thought that this happens because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity"
