Q38:
A survey of entrepreneurs who started companies last year shows that while virtually all did substantial preparatory research and planning, only half used that work to produce a formal business plan. Since, on average, the entrepreneurs without formal plans secured the capital they needed in half the time of those with plans, these survey results indicate that, in general, formal plans did not help the entrepreneurs who produced them to secure the capital they needed.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. Companies started by entrepreneurs who had used formal business plans to attract investment were on the whole as profitable in their first year as were companies started by entrepreneurs who had not produced such plans.
B. In surveys of entrepreneurs who have attempted without success to raise sufficient capital, more than half of the respondents indicate that they have produced a formal business plan.
C. Among the entrepreneurs surveyed, those who did not produce formal business plans sought and received a much larger proportion of their capital from investors with whom they had a long-standing business relationship.
D. The entrepreneurs surveyed who did not produce a formal business plan spent nearly as much time doing preparatory research and planning as the entrepreneurs who produced plans.
E. The entrepreneurs who produced business plans generally reported later that the process of writing the plan had increased their confidence that their company would succeed.
答案选C.我认为如果没有红色的NOT,结论就是C了.请大家指点.
upup
not 要保留。
企业家中有一半是有计划的，而没有计划的人只花了一半的时间就得到了资金。结论：定 计划没有作用。
答案是C。
同意C。 同意保留NOT。
不明白是怎么weaken的
原文只是说secured the capital they needed
并没有要求是怎样获得资金啊
请指点...

a. not relevant
b. strengthen
c. Correct answer, Personal relationship rather than business plan help entrepreneurs to acquire capitals. Weaken the argument that the business plan is useless.
d. not relevant. (tricky one, this answer talked about the researches, but did not mention any information about business plan)
e. not relevant
也就是说secure capital = acquire capital?
还有the much proportion 要大于1/2 total capital的。
那么是不是还有假设 就是：那些没有plan的人，如果收不到Personal relationship 给的钱，就肯定要比有plan的花更多的时间去secure？
D无关？？？
似乎明白了
不明白为什么D不对？谁来帮忙解释一下，多谢。
这题目我没明白说什么
看原文：找出结论和推出该结论的前提。特别注意结论的特殊性和具体性。
找答案：用结论的具体性去区分有关无关，并结合TEST。对于特殊类，先预测出答案，用此预测去找答案
TEST：问自己，是否该答案使作者再考虑他的观点或迫使作者做出反应或原文该前提能证明该结论吗。
几种特殊类型：
原文前提和结论关系不密切：正确选项直接WEAKEN结论
因果型结论：即原文给出两件事，然后得出结论说是一件事（因）导致另一件事（果）。WEAKEN该结论的方法包括：A。是其他原因或可能导致该结果。B。割断因果：或有因无果或有果无因。C。因果颠倒了。D显示因果关系的资料不准确。
条件型结论：结论带条件（即为充分必要）。WEAKEN的方法显示充分条件成立，必要条件可以不成立。或举反例，或提供有关信息。
原文是类比：WEAKEN方式为两者本质不同
调查：有效性受怀疑（被调查的没代表性等）
求教对这道题目的翻译，而题目中的这句话：
Since, on average, the entrepreneurs without formal plans secured the capital they needed
in half the time
of those with plans, these survey results indicate that, in general, formal plans did not help the entrepreneurs who produced them to secure the capital they needed.
我认为half the time不应该理解为用了一半时间的意思，而应该理解为一半人数的意思。就是half the time of those with plans必须连作一体来理解。而且题目的第一句是讨论人数的比例关系，第二句话就突然跳到了讨论时间，这个未免也太离奇了
做错了看看怎么解答
