逻辑链:Premisevoles live in large groups from late autumn through winter, live in smaller groups from spring through early autumn.
Conclusionthe mortality among young voles can explain the seasonal variation in group.
Logic: because the cold/food, the voles dead, they are together form late autumn through winter.
选项:
A.提到young voles 但是时间段the spring and early summer 不对。Pass
B.无关。
C.spring食物丰富,时间段不对。
D.时间点没有严格对应 late atumn 没有E严格。
E.bingo 时间完全对应。简单推断也向到mortality,所以选E
4-1 Healthy lungs produce a natural antibiotic that protects them from infection by routinely killing harmful bacteria on airway surfaces.  People with cystic fibrosis, however, are unable to fight off such bacteria, even though their lungs produce normal amounts of the antibiotic.  The fluid on airway surfaces in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis has an abnormally high salt concentration; accordingly, scientists hypothesize that the high salt concentration is what makes the antibiotic ineffective.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the scientists’ hypothesis?
4-2 Wind farms, which generate electricity using arrays of thousands of wind-powered turbines, require vast expanses of open land.  County X and County Y have similar terrain, but the population density of County X is significantly higher than that of County Y.  Therefore, a wind farm proposed for one of the two counties should be built in County Y rather than in County X.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the planner’s argument?
4-3 Over the past five years, the price gap between name-brand cereals and less expensive store-brand cereals has become so wide that consumers have been switching increasingly to store brands despite the name brands’ reputation for better quality.  To attract these consumers back, several manufacturers of name-brand cereals plan to narrow the price gap between their cereals and store brands to less than what it was five years ago.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the likelihood that the manufacturers’ plan will succeed in attracting back a large percentage of consumers who have switched to store brands?
4-4 Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
The irradiation of food kills bacteria and thus retards spoilage.  However, it also lowers the nutritional value of many foods.  For example, irradiation destroys a significant percentage of whatever vitamin B1 a food may contain.  Proponents of irradiation point out that irradiation is no worse in this respect than cooking.  However, this fact is either beside the point, since much irradiated food is eaten raw, or else misleading, since _______.
4-5 From 1980 to 1989, total consumption of fish in the country of Jurania increased by 4.5 percent, and total consumption of poultry products there increased by 9.0 percent.  During the same period, the population of Jurania increased by 6 percent, in part due to immigration to Jurania from other countries in the region.
If the statements above are true, which of the following must also be true on the basis of them?
4-6 Wolves generally avoid human settlements.  For this reason, domestic sheep, though essentially easy prey for wolves, are not usually attacked by them.  In Hylantia prior to 1910, farmers nevertheless lost considerable numbers of sheep to wolves each year.  Attributing this to the large number for wolves, in 1910 the government began offering rewards to hunters for killing wolves.  From 1910 to 1915, large numbers of wolves were killed.  Yet wolf attacks on sheep increased significantly.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the increase in wolf attacks on sheep?
4-7 Nitrogen dioxide is a pollutant emitted by automobiles.  Catalytic converters, devices designed to reduce nitrogen dioxide emissions, have been required in all new cars in Donia since 1993, and as a result, nitrogen dioxide emissions have been significantly reduced throughout most of the country. Yet although the proportion of new cars in Donia’s capital city has always been comparatively high, nitrogen dioxide emissions there have showed only an insignificant decline since 1993.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the insignificant decline in nitrogen dioxide emissions in Donia’s capital city?
4-8 Community activist:  If Morganville wants to keep its central shopping district healthy, it should prevent the opening of a huge SaveAll discount department store on the outskirts of Morganville.  Records from other small towns show that whenever SaveAll has opened a store outside the central shopping district of a small town, within five years the town has experienced the bankruptcies of more than a quarter of the stores in the shopping district.
The answer to which of the following would be most useful for evaluating the community activist’s reasoning?
4-9 In the past the country of Siduria has relied heavily on imported oil.  Siduria recently implemented a program to convert heating systems from oil to natural gas.  Siduria already produces more natural gas each year than it burns, and oil production in Sidurian oil fields is increasing at a steady pace.  If these trends in fuel production and usage continue, therefore, Sidurian reliance on foreign sources for fuel should decline soon.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
4-10 Historian:  Newton developed mathematical concepts and techniques that are fundamental to modern calculus.  Leibniz developed closely analogous concepts and techniques.  It has traditionally been thought that these discoveries were independent.  Researchers have, however, recently discovered notes of Leibniz’ that discuss one of Newton’s books on mathematics.  Several scholars have argued that since the book includes a presentation of Newton’s calculus concepts and techniques, and sincethe notes were written before Leibniz’ own development of calculus concepts and techniques, it is virtually certain that the traditional view is false.  A more cautious conclusion than this is called for, however.  Leibniz’ notes are limited to early sections of Newton’s book, sections that precede the ones in which Newton’s calculus concepts and techniques are presented.
In the historian’s reasoning, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

1.        C 1:27
有cystic fibrosis的人,即便肺可以产出抗生素,由于肺部表面盐度高,无法抵抗病毒。所以科学家推测,盐度高使得抗生素无效。求strengthen
其它条件一致,但是盐度低的肺,抗生素有效。C
2.        E 1:35
由于X国的人口密度比Y国高,X国不适合装wind farm。求weaken
比较简单,X国的人口集中在很小的一片区域,所以还是有很多地方可以放的下wind farm。
3.        B 1:50
Name brand vs store brand,由于价格差距大,使得客人逐渐从name转到store brand。题目中暗示,高价选择name brand主要是看中其quality。说为了强回顾客,name brand决定缩小差价。问weaken
B中说被抢走了的吃store brand的人满意store brand的quality。说明name brand失去了其吸引力,那么缩小差价已经不行了,除非价格更低。
4.        E 2:25
Irradiation处理过的食品的营养价值会降低。支持者说,cooking同样会使食物中的营养价值降低。反对说,收到irradiation处理的食物本来就是生吃的(所以cooking这个点没啥用),或者支持者的点误导别人。误导的点就是仿佛食物只能失去一次营养价值,要么在irradiation过程中要么在cooking过程中。想到这个之后可以看出是E,irradiation后再cooking会加重营养的损失。营养损失不是or而是and的关系。
5.        E 1:40
Total consumption fish上升4.5%,total poultry上升9%,total 人口上升6%。说明人均吃鱼下降 (1+0.045)/(1+0.06)< 1
6.        C 1:39
为什么在捕杀狼群之后,狼群袭击圈养的羊群的数量上升了?
因为羊群是easy target,狼在被赶尽杀绝过程中受伤之后没有办法捕杀野外的prey,只能投机袭击羊了。
7.        E 1:46
有个设备装在车上之后使得NO2排量降低,问为什么在使用这个设备之后,某国大部分地区NO2排放量都降低了但是首府的排放量没怎么降低。
原因就是首府地区车的形成短,设备在短途旅行中由于无法达到一定温度,无效。
8.        C 2:19
其它town的案例是,由于saveall的店入住了,其它的店在5年内都倒闭了。现在我的town在考虑要不要让saveall入住,应该获取什么其它信息有助于判断。
迷惑选项主要是B,但是仔细想一想,在自己town消费的人群的多少没有任何意义,应为不管人多人少,现在的人群不会让自己town的店倒闭。而且,意识到现在做决定的方法是借鉴其它的案例,所以应当确定案例的有效性。
C中可以得出saveall与其它店家倒闭有无因果关系,至关重要。
9.        A 2:37
S国原来依赖oil进口,现在打算把供热系统转成natural gas供热。已知目前S国产的natural gas大于其使用的,oil生产会稳步上升。如果保持原料生产与使用的趋势,之后就不用进口那么多了。
如果能耗>产量的话,就会需要更多的进口来弥补能源不足。
花了很多时间想B,后来意识到只要natural gas的结余可以弥补oil的空缺就行了,并不需要生产量比oil高。
10.        D 2:34
一边看一边做了一下笔记。Several scholars有个论点,黑体是它们论点的理由。Historian的论点是scholars的论点有待商榷,然后黑体是historian的论点的理由。
第一个support scholars(historian反对scholars),第二个support historian。做完笔记以后很快可以选出D。

4-1 Healthy lungs produce a natural antibiotic that protects them from infection by routinely killing harmful bacteria on airway surfaces.  People with cystic fibrosis, however, are unable to fight off such bacteria, even though their lungs produce normal amounts of the antibiotic.  The fluid on airway surfaces in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis has an abnormally high salt concentration; accordingly, scientists hypothesize that the high salt concentration is what makes the antibiotic ineffective.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the scientists’ hypothesis?
A.        When the salt concentration of the fluid on the airway surfaces of healthy people is raised artificially, the salt concentration soon returns to normal.(跟含盐度维持一定无关)
B.        A sample of the antibiotic was capable of killing bacteria in an environment with an unusually low concentration of salt.(跟高盐度杀死无关)
C.        When lung tissue from people with cystic fibrosis is maintained in a solution with a normal salt concentration, the tissue can resist bacteria.(对照实验,说明确实是高盐度的问题,加强)
D.        Many lung infections can be treated by applying synthetic antibiotics to the airway surfaces. (跟咋治疗无关)
E.        High salt concentrations have an antibiotic effect in many circumstances.(跟高盐度在很多场合下的effext无关)

4-2 Wind farms, which generate electricity using arrays of thousands of wind-powered turbines, require vast expanses of open land.  County X and County Y have similar terrain, but the population density of County X is significantly higher than that of County Y.  Therefore, a wind farm proposed for one of the two counties should be built in County Y rather than in County X.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the planner’s argument?
A.        County X and County Y are adjacent to each other, and both are located in the windiest area of the state.(无关选项)
B.        The total population of County Y is substantially greater than that of County X.(挑战了题目中前提,这不就是说Y的人口密度才高嘛)
C.        Some of the electricity generated by wind farms in County Y would be purchased by users outside the county.
D.        Wind farms require more land per unit of electricity generated than does any other type of electrical-generation facility.
E.        Nearly all of County X’s population is concentrated in a small part of the county, while County Y’s population is spread evenly throughout the country.

4-3 Over the past five years, the price gap between name-brand cereals and less expensive store-brand cereals has become so wide that consumers have been switching increasingly to store brands despite the name brands’ reputation for better quality.  To attract these consumers back, several manufacturers of name-brand cereals plan to narrow the price gap between their cereals and store brands to less than what it was five years ago.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the likelihood that the manufacturers’ plan will succeed in attracting back a large percentage of consumers who have switched to store brands?
A.        There is no significant difference among manufacturers of name-brand cereals in the prices they charge for their products.(与品牌产品之间的价格差无关)
B.        Consumers who have switched to store-brand cereals have generally been satisfied with the quality of those cereals.(对平价产品质量满意,不会为了高一点的质量花多的钱了)
C.        Many consumers would never think of switching to store-brand cereals because they believe the name brand cereals to be of better quality.(逻辑搞反了)
D.        Because of lower advertising costs, stores are able to offer their own brands of cereals at significantly lower prices than those charged for name-brand cereals.(重复题干中的前提信息,看起来让人有安全感,想去选,但实际和逻辑链无关)
E.        Total annual sales of cereals—including both name-brand and store-brand cereals—have not increased significantly over the past five years. (总产量不增加和转变消费品牌无关)
前提:虽然品牌的质量好,但价格太高,导致很多人转而买平价的
结论:降低价格能够吸引人们转变道品牌产品上
方向:关键在质量,选择跟质量有关的 
4-4 Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
The irradiation of food kills bacteria and thus retards spoilage.  However, it also lowers the nutritional value of many foods.  For example, irradiation destroys a significant percentage of whatever vitamin B1 a food may contain.  Proponents of irradiation point out that irradiation is no worse in this respect than cooking.  However, this fact is either beside the point, since much irradiated food is eaten raw, or else misleading, since _______.
A.        many of the proponents of irradiation are food distributors who gain from food’s having a longer shelf life
B.        it is clear that killing bacteria that may be present on food is not the only effect that irradiation has
C.        cooking is usually the final step in preparing food for consumption, whereas irradiation serves to ensure a longer shelf life for perishable foods
D.        certain kinds of cooking are, in fact, even more destructive of vitamin B1 than carefully controlled irradiation is
E.        for food that is both irradiated and cooked, the reduction of vitamin B1 associated with either process individually is compounded

4-5 From 1980 to 1989, total consumption of fish in the country of Jurania increased by 4.5 percent, and total consumption of poultry products there increased by 9.0 percent.  During the same period, the population of Jurania increased by 6 percent, in part due to immigration to Jurania from other countries in the region.
If the statements above are true, which of the following must also be true on the basis of them?
A.        During the 1980’s in Jurania, profits of wholesale distributors of poultry products increased at a greater rate than did profits of wholesale distributors of fish. (跟零售商的利润无关)
B.        For people who immigrated to Jurania during the 1980’s, fish was less likely to be a major part of their diet than was poultry.(移民只占6%,不一定就适用4.5%和9%的增长)
C.        In 1989 Juranians consumed twice as much poultry as fish.(明显错的,只是增长率)
D.        For a significant proportion of Jurania’s population, both fish and poultry products were a regular part of their diet during the 1980’s.(无关选项,跟饮食习惯常常吃啥无关)
E.        Per capita consumption of fish in Jurania was lower in 1989 than in 1980. (人增长了6%,鱼的消费只增长了4.5%,很明显)

4-6 Wolves generally avoid human settlements.  For this reason, domestic sheep, though essentially easy prey for wolves, are not usually attacked by them.  In Hylantia prior to 1910, farmers nevertheless lost considerable numbers of sheep to wolves each year.  Attributing this to the large number for wolves, in 1910 the government began offering rewards to hunters for killing wolves.  From 1910 to 1915, large numbers of wolves were killed.  Yet wolf attacks on sheep increased significantly.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the increase in wolf attacks on sheep?
A.        Populations of deer and other wild animals that wolves typically prey on increased significantly in numbers from 1910 to 1915. (应该导致家羊捕杀减少的)
B.        Prior to 1910, there were no legal restrictions in Hylantia on the hunting of wolves.(无关)
C.        After 1910 hunters shot and wounded a substantial number of wolves, thereby greatly diminishing these wolves’ ability to prey on wild animals.(恰恰解释了,开始猎杀后,狼更要吃羊了)
D.        Domestic sheep are significantly less able than most wild animals to defend themselves against wolf attacks.(挑战了前提,不选)
E.        The systematic hunting of wolves encouraged by the program drove many wolves in Hylantia to migrate to remote mountain areas uninhabited by humans. (反而削弱了逻辑链)
逻辑链:狼避免和人接触,所以一般不杀家羊;但一个地方狼老吃家羊,开始捕杀后

4-7 Nitrogen dioxide is a pollutant emitted by automobiles.  Catalytic converters, devices designed to reduce nitrogen dioxide emissions, have been required in all new cars in Donia since 1993, and as a result, nitrogen dioxide emissions have been significantly reduced throughout most of the country. Yet although the proportion of new cars in Donia’s capital city has always been comparatively high, nitrogen dioxide emissions there have showed only an insignificant decline since 1993.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the insignificant decline in nitrogen dioxide emissions in Donia’s capital city?
A.        More of the cars in Donia’s capital city were made before 1993 than after 1993.(挑战题干前提信息,错)
B.        The number of new cars sold per year in Donia has declined slightly since 1993.(同A)
C.        Pollutants other than nitrogen dioxide that are emitted by automobiles have also been significantly reduced in Donia since 1993.(重复题干信息,无关)
D.        Many Donians who own cars made before 1993 have had catalytic converters installed in their cars.(无关)
E.        Most car trips in Donia’s capital city are too short for the catalytic converter to reach its effective working temperature.(引入其他因素,解释这样的现象)

4-9 In the past the country of Siduria has relied heavily on imported oil.  Siduria recently implemented a program to convert heating systems from oil to natural gas.  Siduria already produces more natural gas each year than it burns, and oil production in Sidurian oil fields is increasing at a steady pace.  If these trends in fuel production and usage continue, therefore, Sidurian reliance on foreign sources for fuel should decline soon.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A.        In Siduria the rate of fuel consumption is rising no more quickly than the rate of fuel production.
B.        Domestic production of natural gas is rising faster than is domestic production of oil in Siduria.
C.        No fuel other than natural gas is expected to be used as a replacement for oil in Siduria.
D.        Buildings cannot be heated by solar energy rather than by oil or natural gas.
E.        All new homes that are being built will have natural-gas-burning heating systems.

4-10 Historian:  Newton developed mathematical concepts and techniques that are fundamental to modern calculus.  Leibniz developed closely analogous concepts and techniques.  It has traditionally been thought that these discoveries were independent.  Researchers have, however, recently discovered notes of Leibniz’ that discuss one of Newton’s books on mathematics.  Several scholars have argued that since the book includes a presentation of Newton’s calculus concepts and techniques, and since the notes were written before Leibniz’ own development of calculus concepts and techniques, it is virtually certain that the traditional view is false.  A more cautious conclusion than this is called for, however.  Leibniz’ notes are limited to early sections of Newton’s book, sections that precede the ones in which Newton’s calculus concepts and techniques are presented.
In the historian’s reasoning, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
A.        The first provides evidence in support of the overall position that the historian defends; the second is evidence that has been used to support an opposing position.
B.        The first provides evidence in support of the overall position that the historian defends; the second is that position.
C.        The first provides evidence in support of an intermediate conclusion that is drawn to provide support for the overall position that the historian defends; the second provides evidence against that intermediate conclusion.
D.        The first is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion that the historian criticizes; the second is evidence offered in support of the historian’s own position.
E.        The first is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion that the historian criticizes; the second is further information that substantiates that evidence.

4-1 Healthy lungs produce a natural antibiotic that protects them from infection by routinely killing harmful bacteria on airway surfaces.  People with cystic fibrosis, however, are unable to fight off such bacteria, even though their lungs produce normal amounts of the antibiotic.  The fluid on airway surfaces in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis has an abnormally high salt concentration; accordingly, scientists hypothesize that the high salt concentration is what makes the antibiotic ineffective.

现象时间重合:
因:高盐
果:antibiotic ineffective
supports:支持因果联系,或排除干扰因素:并不是其他原因导致的antibiotic ineffective


Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the scientists’ hypothesis? C

When the salt concentration of the fluid on the airway surfaces of healthy people is raised artificially, the salt concentration soon returns to normal. 盐度变化,无关
A sample of the antibiotic was capable of killing bacteria in an environment with an unusually low concentration of salt.  低盐可以杀死细菌,不一定能证明高盐就不能。
When lung tissue from people with cystic fibrosis is maintained in a solution with a normal salt concentration, the tissue can resist bacteria. 本来高盐不能的人,盐度改到正常就可以了,支持了因果联系
Many lung infections can be treated by applying synthetic antibiotics to the airway surfaces. 治病方法,无关
High salt concentrations have an antibiotic effect in many circumstances. 其他情况下,高盐可以杀死病毒,削弱



4-2 Wind farms, which generate electricity using arrays of thousands of wind-powered turbines, require vast expanses of open land.  County X and County Y have similar terrain, but the population density of County X is significantly higher than that of County Y.  Therefore, a wind farm proposed for one of the two counties should be built in County Y rather than in County X.
类比:
因:XY土地一样大,X人口密度大,
果:风力发电应在Y
weaken:破坏因果,指出因该在X的不同点,方向:人口密度上的延伸。或干扰,不能致果。

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the planner’s argument? E

County X and County Y are adjacent to each other, and both are located in the windiest area of the state.  相同点,无关
The total population of County Y is substantially greater than that of County X. Y的不同,但与风力发电没有联系。
Some of the electricity generated by wind farms in County Y would be purchased by users outside the county. 买家,无关
Wind farms require more land per unit of electricity generated than does any other type of electrical-generation facility.  人均土地更大,只知道X人口密度,不能联系。
Nearly all of County X’s population is concentrated in a small part of the county, while County Y’s population is spread evenly throughout the country. X的土地更宽广,指出X的不同处,并且有利风里发电。



4-3 Over the past five years, the price gap between name-brand cereals and less expensive store-brand cereals has become so wide that consumers have been switching increasingly to store brands despite the name brands’ reputation for better quality.  To attract these consumers back, several manufacturers of name-brand cereals plan to narrow the price gap between their cereals and store brands to less than what it was five years ago.
决策题:
因:名牌cereal太贵,没人买。
果(决策):降价名牌cereal
weaken:决策可行性,决策的因果破坏,决策的副作用。

Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the likelihood that the manufacturers’ plan will succeed in attracting back a large percentage of consumers who have switched to store brands? B

There is no significant difference among manufacturers of name-brand cereals in the prices they charge for their products. 不同名牌的价格都一样,无关
Consumers who have switched to store-brand cereals have generally been satisfied with the quality of those cereals. 买便宜品牌的客人不是因为价格,而是因为质量才买的。破坏因果联系
Many consumers would never think of switching to store-brand cereals because they believe the name brand cereals to be of better quality. 买名牌的人会一直支持名牌
Because of lower advertising costs, stores are able to offer their own brands of cereals at significantly lower prices than those charged for name-brand cereals. 店家自己推出自己的低价品牌,与决策无关。
Total annual sales of cereals—including both name-brand and store-brand cereals—have not increased significantly over the past five years. 总销量没有增长,无关,只需关系两个品牌间的销量关系。



4-4 Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

The irradiation of food kills bacteria and thus retards spoilage.  However, it also lowers the nutritional value of many foods.  For example, irradiation destroys a significant percentage of whatever vitamin B1 a food may contain.  Proponents of irradiation point out that irradiation is no worse in this respect than cooking.  However, this fact is either beside the point, since much irradiated food is eaten raw, or else misleading, since _______. C

因:irradiation与cooking都会destroy营养
果:两者一样
weaken:irradiation更差,指出与cooking不一样的点。

many of the proponents of irradiation are food distributors who gain from food’s having a longer shelf life 支持irradiation,无关
it is clear that killing bacteria that may be present on food is not the only effect that irradiation has 优点不止一个,无关
cooking is usually the final step in preparing food for consumption, whereas irradiation serves to ensure a longer shelf life for perishable foods 两者的目的不同。
certain kinds of cooking are, in fact, even more destructive of vitamin B1 than carefully controlled irradiation is。 cooking更差,无关
for food that is both irradiated and cooked, the reduction of vitamin B1 associated with either process individually is compounded 营养缺失的复杂情况,无关。



4-5 From 1980 to 1989, total consumption of fish in the country of Jurania increased by 4.5 percent, and total consumption of poultry products there increased by 9.0 percent.  During the same period, the population of Jurania increased by 6 percent, in part due to immigration to Jurania from other countries in the region.

If the statements above are true, which of the following must also be true on the basis of them? E

During the 1980’s in Jurania, profits of wholesale distributors of poultry products increased at a greater rate than did profits of wholesale distributors of fish.
For people who immigrated to Jurania during the 1980’s, fish was less likely to be a major part of their diet than was poultry.
In 1989 Juranians consumed twice as much poultry as fish.
For a significant proportion of Jurania’s population, both fish and poultry products were a regular part of their diet during the 1980’s.
Per capita consumption of fish in Jurania was lower in 1989 than in 1980. 人口1.06%,鱼consumption1.045%,人均比较,同百分比比较。



4-6 Wolves generally avoid human settlements.  For this reason, domestic sheep, though essentially easy prey for wolves, are not usually attacked by them.  In Hylantia prior to 1910, farmers nevertheless lost considerable numbers of sheep to wolves each year.  Attributing this to the large number for wolves, in 1910 the government began offering rewards to hunters for killing wolves.  From 1910 to 1915, large numbers of wolves were killed.  Yet wolf attacks on sheep increased significantly.

因:狼少了
本果:吃掉的羊也少了
本果weaken:吃掉的羊却多了。
逻辑:干扰因素,导致因果联系破坏

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the increase in wolf attacks on sheep? C

Populations of deer and other wild animals that wolves typically prey on increased significantly in numbers from 1910 to 1915.  其他猎物增多了,不是原因
Prior to 1910, there were no legal restrictions in Hylantia on the hunting of wolves. 前后情况一致,
After 1910 hunters shot and wounded a substantial number of wolves, thereby greatly diminishing these wolves’ ability to prey on wild animals. 干扰,副作用,导致因果联系破坏
Domestic sheep are significantly less able than most wild animals to defend themselves against wolf attacks. 政策前后都不变的情况,不能破坏因果。
The systematic hunting of wolves encouraged by the program drove many wolves in Hylantia to migrate to remote mountain areas uninhabited by humans. 狼少了,weaken。



4-7 Nitrogen dioxide is a pollutant emitted by automobiles.  Catalytic converters, devices designed to reduce nitrogen dioxide emissions, have been required in all new cars in Donia since 1993, and as a result, nitrogen dioxide emissions have been significantly reduced throughout most of the country. Yet although the proportion of new cars in Donia’s capital city has always been comparatively high, nitrogen dioxide emissions there have showed only an insignificant decline since 1993.

因:新车都装仪器,全国都降低污染
本果:首都也应该降低。
结论—weaken:没有怎么降低。
逻辑:因果联系破坏,干扰导致无果。

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the insignificant decline in nitrogen dioxide emissions in Donia’s capital city? E

More of the cars in Donia’s capital city were made before 1993 than after 1993. 新车少,否定因的条件。
The number of new cars sold per year in Donia has declined slightly since 1993. 新车数量比93年前有减少,但有新车就还是应该会降低污染。无关因果。
Pollutants other than nitrogen dioxide that are emitted by automobiles have also been significantly reduced in Donia since 1993. 其他污染有减少,无关。
Many Donians who own cars made before 1993 have had catalytic converters installed in their cars. 旧车也有装仪器,更应该降低污染了。weaken结论
Most car trips in Donia’s capital city are too short for the catalytic converter to reach its effective working temperature. 干扰因素,仪器无法发挥作用。



4-8 Community activist:  If Morganville wants to keep its central shopping district healthy, it should prevent the opening of a huge SaveAll discount department store on the outskirts of Morganville.  Records from other small towns show that whenever SaveAll has opened a store outside the central shopping district of a small town, within five years the town has experienced the bankruptcies of more than a quarter of the stores in the shopping district.

因;其他小城市,S入驻,5年内倒闭了1/4的点
果:M城市也会一样。
策略:M应该抵制S入驻
逻辑:指出M与其他城市,是否一样,是否有因果联系。

The answer to which of the following would be most useful for evaluating the community activist’s reasoning? C

Have community activists in other towns successfully campaigned against the opening of a SaveAll store on the outskirts of their towns?  方案是否可行,而不能证明因果。
Do a large percentage of the residents of Morganville currently do almost all of their shopping at stores in Morganville? 无关策略,无关因果。
In towns with healthy central shopping districts, what proportion of the stores in those districts suffer bankruptcy during a typical five-year period?  是否有第三案例证明因果。
What proportion of the employees at the SaveAll store on the outskirts of Morganville will be drawn from Morganville? 员工,无关。
Do newly opened SaveAll stores ever lose money during their first five years of operation? S本身的运营,无关。



4-9 In the past the country of Siduria has relied heavily on imported oil.  Siduria recently implemented a program to convert heating systems from oil to natural gas.  Siduria already produces more natural gas each year than it burns, and oil production in Sidurian oil fields is increasing at a steady pace.  If these trends in fuel production and usage continue, therefore, Sidurian reliance on foreign sources for fuel should decline soon.
因:油改气,气够,油也增产
果:不需要再进口油,可以自给自足
assumption:支持因果联系,也没有干扰因素破坏,

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? A

In Siduria the rate of fuel consumption is rising no more quickly than the rate of fuel production. 排除干扰,建立因果联系,油可以自己自足
Domestic production of natural gas is rising faster than is domestic production of oil in Siduria. 气产量增长快过油产量增长,不确定可以自给自足
No fuel other than natural gas is expected to be used as a replacement for oil in Siduria. 取反,加强。
Buildings cannot be heated by solar energy rather than by oil or natural gas. 取反加强。
All new homes that are being built will have natural-gas-burning heating systems. 与果无关。

4-1 Healthy lungs produce a natural antibiotic that protects them from infection by routinely killing harmful bacteria on airway surfaces.  People with cystic fibrosis, however, are unable to fight off such bacteria, even though their lungs produce normal amounts of the antibiotic.  The fluid on airway surfaces in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis has an abnormally high salt concentration; accordingly, scientists hypothesize that the high salt concentration is what makes the antibiotic ineffective.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the scientists’ hypothesis?
A.        When the salt concentration of the fluid on the airway surfaces of healthy people is raised artificially, the salt concentration soon returns to normal. (和盐含量是否能会到正常无关)
B.        A sample of the antibiotic was capable of killing bacteria in an environment with an unusually low concentration of salt. (在低的盐含量下可以杀菌不能知道高含量的是否有效)
C.        When lung tissue from people with cystic fibrosis is maintained in a solution with a normal salt concentration, the tissue can resist bacteria. (当在正常的浓度下还是能抵抗细菌,说明不是因为别的因素就是因为盐含量的多少)
D.        Many lung infections can be treated by applying synthetic antibiotics to the airway surfaces. (解决方案不是我们想知道的)
E.        High salt concentrations have an antibiotic effect in many circumstances. (新概念)
Time:1’51
P: 有cf的人肺里的盐含量高
C: 盐含量导致抗生素没有用
思路:排除他因,比如说患有cf的人的抗生素能在其他浓度存活/加强盐含量高抗生素无效的关系




















4-2 Wind farms, which generate electricity using arrays of thousands of wind-powered turbines, require vast expanses of open land.  County X and County Y have similar terrain, but the population density of County X is significantly higher than that of County Y.  Therefore, a wind farm proposed for one of the two counties should be built in County Y rather than in County X.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the planner’s argument?
A.        County X and County Y are adjacent to each other, and both are located in the windiest area of the state. (两者都在风最大的地区不能说明其实建在X or Y都ok)
B.        The total population of County Y is substantially greater than that of County X. (总人数多但是密度小说明还是适合在Y建立)
C.        Some of the electricity generated by wind farms in County Y would be purchased by users outside the county. (和被谁购买的无关)
D.        Wind farms require more land per unit of electricity generated than does any other type of electrical-generation facility. (无关比较)
E.        Nearly all of County X’s population is concentrated in a small part of the county, while County Y’s population is spread evenly throughout the country. (说明密度大不是因为人口多而是因为都住在一个小地方而Y住的比较散)
Time: 0’51
P: the population density of X higher than Y
C: wind farm should be built in Y
思路:削弱说不一定就是要建在Y, 人口密度大不一定说每个地方的密度都很大






















4-3 Over the past five years, the price gap between name-brand cereals and less expensive store-brand cereals has become so wide that consumers have been switching increasingly to store brands despite the name brands’ reputation for better quality.  To attract these consumers back, several manufacturers of name-brand cereals plan to narrow the price gap between their cereals and store brands to less than what it was five years ago.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the likelihood that the manufacturers’ plan will succeed in attracting back a large percentage of consumers who have switched to store brands?
A.        There is no significant difference among manufacturers of name-brand cereals in the prices they charge for their products. (如果没有差别,那大家应该更青睐牌子的)
B.        Consumers who have switched to store-brand cereals have generally been satisfied with the quality of those cereals. (说明即使价格有所下降但是质量没有store-brand好的话,大家就会更喜欢store)
C.        Many consumers would never think of switching to store-brand cereals because they believe the name brand cereals to be of better quality. (加强方案实行的可能)
D.        Because of lower advertising costs, stores are able to offer their own brands of cereals at significantly lower prices than those charged for name-brand cereals. (和价格无关)
E.        Total annual sales of cereals—including both name-brand and store-brand cereals—have not increased significantly over the past five years. (和sales增长无关)
Time: 0’38
G: name brand cereals attract consumers back
P: narrow price gap
思路:削弱就是该方案有副作用,该方案是否可行



















4-4 Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
The irradiation of food kills bacteria and thus retards spoilage.  However, it also lowers the nutritional value of many foods.  For example, irradiation destroys a significant percentage of whatever vitamin B1 a food may contain.  Proponents of irradiation point out that irradiation is no worse in this respect than cooking.  However, this fact is either beside the point, since much irradiated food is eaten raw, or else misleading, since _______.
A.        many of the proponents of irradiation are food distributors who gain from food’s having a longer shelf life (和支持者无关)
B.        it is clear that killing bacteria that may be present on food is not the only effect that irradiation has (和杀菌无关)
C.        cooking is usually the final step in preparing food for consumption, whereas irradiation serves to ensure a longer shelf life for perishable foods (能存放很久不能代表两者之间没有可比性)
D.        certain kinds of cooking are, in fact, even more destructive of vitamin B1 than carefully controlled irradiation is (无关比较)
E.        for food that is both irradiated and cooked, the reduction of vitamin B1 associated with either process individually is compounded (因为一个食物被irradiated还有cooked这样就不知道两者之间是否有差异)
Time: 1’47
P: irradiation的支持者说irradiation和cooking没差
C:要嘛就是支持者说的或者是误导因为…
思路:所以就是irradiation和cooking的类比,如果无法比较就是原因

4-5 From 1980 to 1989, total consumption of fish in the country of Jurania increased by 4.5 percent, and total consumption of poultry products there increased by 9.0 percent.  During the same period, the population of Jurania increased by 6 percent, in part due to immigration to Jurania from other countries in the region.
If the statements above are true, which of the following must also be true on the basis of them?
A.        During the 1980’s in Jurania, profits of wholesale distributors of poultry products increased at a greater rate than did profits of wholesale distributors of fish. (不知道具体的Profits涨幅)
B.        For people who immigrated to Jurania during the 1980’s, fish was less likely to be a major part of their diet than was poultry. (increase幅度小不代表不是major consumption)
C.        In 1989 Juranians consumed twice as much poultry as fish. (只是增长幅度是2倍不代表总消耗量是2倍)
D.        For a significant proportion of Jurania’s population, both fish and poultry products were a regular part of their diet during the 1980’s. (不确定)
E.        Per capita consumption of fish in Jurania was lower in 1989 than in 1980. (鱼的涨幅确实比人数低,说明人均消耗量会降低)
Time: 1’34
P: 1980-1989, fish consumption increases 4.5%/poultry increases 9%/population 6%
4-6 Wolves generally avoid human settlements.  For this reason, domestic sheep, though essentially easy prey for wolves, are not usually attacked by them.  In Hylantia prior to 1910, farmers nevertheless lost considerable numbers of sheep to wolves each year.  Attributing this to the large number for wolves, in 1910 the government began offering rewards to hunters for killing wolves.  From 1910 to 1915, large numbers of wolves were killed.  Yet wolf attacks on sheep increased significantly.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the increase in wolf attacks on sheep?
A.        Populations of deer and other wild animals that wolves typically prey on increased significantly in numbers from 1910 to 1915. 猎物增加了就更不应该吃羊了
B.        Prior to 1910, there were no legal restrictions in Hylantia on the hunting of wolves. (重复条件)
C.        After 1910 hunters shot and wounded a substantial number of wolves, thereby greatly diminishing these wolves’ ability to prey on wild animals. (受伤了所以更容易去抓羊)
D.        Domestic sheep are significantly less able than most wild animals to defend themselves against wolf attacks. (重复条件)
E.        The systematic hunting of wolves encouraged by the program drove many wolves in Hylantia to migrate to remote mountain areas uninhabited by humans. (狼的数量少)
Time: 1’22
P: hunters 大量杀狼应该会使狼吃羊的情况减少
C: 但是狼吃羊的情况增加了
思路:解释本该下降但却上升的原因,额外上升,可能是狼没有被杀死抓不到羊
















4-7 Nitrogen dioxide is a pollutant emitted by automobiles.  Catalytic converters, devices designed to reduce nitrogen dioxide emissions, have been required in all new cars in Donia since 1993, and as a result, nitrogen dioxide emissions have been significantly reduced throughout most of the country. Yet although the proportion of new cars in Donia’s capital city has always been comparatively high, nitrogen dioxide emissions there have showed only an insignificant decline since 1993.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the insignificant decline in nitrogen dioxide emissions in Donia’s capital city?
A.        More of the cars in Donia’s capital city were made before 1993 than after 1993. (时间先后无关)
B.        The number of new cars sold per year in Donia has declined slightly since 1993. (和新车数量没有关系)
C.        Pollutants other than nitrogen dioxide that are emitted by automobiles have also been significantly reduced in Donia since 1993. (无关比较)
D.        Many Donians who own cars made before 1993 have had catalytic converters installed in their cars. (和时间先后无关)
E.        Most car trips in Donia’s capital city are too short for the catalytic converter to reach its effective working temperature. (说明有了cc但是cc没有很effective仍然是没有很大作用的)
Time: 0’47
P: 新车都装cc, 然后新车数量多
C: 但是排放量仍然没有明显的降低
思路:有没有可能是cc的功能还没有很好
4-8 Community activist:  If Morganville wants to keep its central shopping district healthy, it should prevent the opening of a huge SaveAll discount department store on the outskirts of Morganville.  Records from other small towns show that whenever SaveAll has opened a store outside the central shopping district of a small town, within five years the town has experienced the bankruptcies of more than a quarter of the stores in the shopping district.
The answer to which of the following would be most useful for evaluating the community activist’s reasoning?
A.        Have community activists in other towns successfully campaigned against the opening of a SaveAll store on the outskirts of their towns? (和campaign无关)
B.        Do a large percentage of the residents of Morganville currently do almost all of their shopping at stores in Morganville? (和居民数量无关)
C.        In towns with healthy central shopping districts, what proportion of the stores in those districts suffer bankruptcy during a typical five-year period? (知道了正常没有sa的破产率如果高于了就是说明sa有影响如果没有就说明不是sa的原因)
D.        What proportion of the employees at the SaveAll store on the outskirts of Morganville will be drawn from Morganville? (和员工数量无关)
E.        Do newly opened SaveAll stores ever lose money during their first five years of operation? (和新开的sa无关)
Time:1‘28
G: keep the district healthy
P: prevent sa open
4-9 In the past the country of Siduria has relied heavily on imported oil.  Siduria recently implemented a program to convert heating systems from oil to natural gas.  Siduria already produces more natural gas each year than it burns, and oil production in Sidurian oil fields is increasing at a steady pace.  If these trends in fuel production and usage continue, therefore, Sidurian reliance on foreign sources for fuel should decline soon.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A.        In Siduria the rate of fuel consumption is rising no more quickly than the rate of fuel production. (思路的公式)
B.        Domestic production of natural gas is rising faster than is domestic production of oil in Siduria. (无关比较)
C.        No fuel other than natural gas is expected to be used as a replacement for oil in Siduria. (无关比较)
D.        Buildings cannot be heated by solar energy rather than by oil or natural gas. (无关比较)
E.        All new homes that are being built will have natural-gas-burning heating systems. (和new homes无关)
Time: 1’34
P: production>consumption
C: import decline
思路:total consumption=domestic+import, domestic上升只有total consumption变化不快才会使import减少
















4-10 Historian:  Newton developed mathematical concepts and techniques that are fundamental to modern calculus.  Leibniz developed closely analogous concepts and techniques.  It has traditionally been thought that these discoveries were independent.  Researchers have, however, recently discovered notes of Leibniz’ that discuss one of Newton’s books on mathematics.  Several scholars have argued that since the book includes a presentation of Newton’s calculus concepts and techniques, and sincethe notes were written before Leibniz’ own development of calculus concepts and techniques, it is virtually certain that the traditional view is false.  A more cautious conclusion than this is called for, however.  Leibniz’ notes are limited to early sections of Newton’s book, sections that precede the ones in which Newton’s calculus concepts and techniques are presented.
In the historian’s reasoning, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
A.        The first provides evidence in support of the overall position that the historian defends; the second is evidence that has been used to support an opposing position.
B.        The first provides evidence in support of the overall position that the historian defends; the second is that position.
C.        The first provides evidence in support of an intermediate conclusion that is drawn to provide support for the overall position that the historian defends; the second provides evidence against that intermediate conclusion.
D.        The first is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion that the historian criticizes; the second is evidence offered in support of the historian’s own position. (bf2前面说more cautious conclusion说明了对bf2的肯定,bf1,2是对立的所以如果bf2被支持则bf1被反驳)
E.        The first is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion that the historian criticizes; the second is further information that substantiates that evidence.
