标题: 两道逻辑体 [打印本页] 作者: 木川 时间: 2003-8-2 05:56 标题: 两道逻辑体 最近在做LSAT，除了假设，削弱，加强和很明显的归纳题以外，碰到的其他题，我都在用排除法。而且逻辑题时间那么紧张，越到后面，错误率越高，自己也越晕。经常是连错。郁闷啊郁闷！ 有两道逻辑题请教。 LSAT第五套，第二部分 16. The public is aware of the possibility of biases in the mass media and distrusts the media as too powerful. The body of information against which the public evaluates the plausibility of each new media report comes, however, from what the public has heard of through the mass media. If the view above is correct, it provides a reason for accepting which one of the following conclusions? (A) If there is a pervasive bias in the presentation of news by the mass media, it would be hard for the public to discern that bias. (B) The mass media tailor their reports to confirm to a specific political agenda. (C) The biases that news media impose on reporting tend not to be conscious distortions but rather part of a sense they share about what is interesting and believable. (D) News reporters and their public hold largely the same views about what is most important in society, because news reporters come out of that society. (E) When a news event occurs that contradicts a stereotype formerly incorporated into reporting by the mass media, the public is predisposed to believe reports of the event. 这道题不明白。但是回头再读题的时候，觉得against整个单词有助于理解题干，不过还是做错。 20. Politician: Homelessness is a serious social problem, but further government spending to provide low-income housing is not the cure for homelessness. The most cursory glance at the real-estate section of any major newspaper is enough to show that there is no lack of housing units available to rent. So the frequent claim that people are homeless because of a lack of available housing is wrong.
That homelessness is a serious social problem figures in the argument in which one of the following ways?
(A) It suggests an alternative perspective to the one adopted in the argument.
(B) It sets out a problem the argument is designed to resolve.
(C) It is compatible either with accepting the conclusion or with denying it.
(D) It summarizes a position the argument as a whole is directed toward discrediting.
(E) It is required in order to establish the conclusion.
