标题: 曼哈顿里的一道逻辑题 [打印本页] 作者: skipp 时间: 2017-10-11 16:42 标题: 曼哈顿里的一道逻辑题 A recent article stated that only 5.5% of American colleges grant the majority of their degrees in the liberal arts. Citing this, a reader wrote to lament that this was further evidence of the decline of academic rigor in American post high school education.
Which of the following is an assumption on the part of the reader?--答案C。
A.The percentage of American colleges granting liberal arts degrees would continue to drop.
B.All colleges should grant the majority of their degrees in the liberal arts. C.Most post-secondary scientific, engineering, and vocational training does not involve as much academic rigor as liberal arts training.
D. Academic rigor is the most important aspect of post high school education.
E.Of the colleges that do not grant the majority of their degrees in the liberal arts, many granted fewer than a quarter of their degrees in the liberal arts.
如果其他学科也一样严谨，那么未来的学术严谨度就不应该下降~~作者: skipp 时间: 2017-10-11 16:52

我感觉C就是fill the logic gap 读完题干可以发现前提和结论之间不是顺理成章的 因此要找出连接两者的assupmtion
Premise: Only a small percentage of US colleges grant majority of degrees in the liberal arts
Conclusion: US post-high school education will suffer academic rigor decline
很明显重点从liberal arts degree到了academic rigor 下面就是要找到两者的connection
C: post-secondary scientific, engineering, and vocational training does not involve as much academic rigor as liberal arts training 这么多学科都没有liberal arts和academic rigor 关系大 (不太能表述出来involve怎么翻译.. 意会一下) 间接表明liberal arts的变化是会影响academic rigor的
取非的话是这些其他学科和文科一样与学术严谨有关 因此不能判断仅仅文科变化是否会影响学术严谨了 即weaken conclusion作者: biscuitwangcc 时间: 2019-12-29 14:13
刚好做到这道题，题目里包含一个通识，即学科包含liberal art和science（或者简单理解art和others）。
题目逻辑链： liberal art 下降 → （indicate） academic rigor 下降
如果其它学科（science or others）里包含了和academic rigor的东西，则逻辑链不成立；
反之，如果其它学科不包含academic rigor，则art的下降就能充分反映rigor的下降作者: febi 时间: 2020-1-7 18:20
只有5.5%的学校颁发艺术学位，这说明academic rigor的下降（此处academic rigor指的是学术性，可以理解为教育水平吧）
