Advances in photocopying technology allow criminals with no printing expertise to counterfeit paper currency. One standard anticounterfeiting technique, microprinting, prints paper currency with tiny designs that cannot be photocopied distinctly. Although counterfeits of microprinted currency can be detected easily by experts, such counterfeits often circulate widely before being detected. An alternative, though more costly, printing technique would print currency with a special ink. Currency printed with the ink would change color depending in how ordinary light strikes it, whereas photocopied counterfeits of such currency would not. Because this technique would allow anyone to detect photocopied counterfeit currency easily, it should be adopted instead of microprinting, despite the expense.
4. Which one of the following, if true, provides the most support for the recommendation made by the argument?
(A) When an anticounterfeiting technique depends on the detection of counterfeits by experts, the cost of inspection by experts adds significantly to the cost to society of that technique.
(B) For any anticounterfeiting technique to be effective, the existence of anticounterfeiting techniques should be widely broadcast, but the method by which counterfeits are detected should be kept secret.
(C) The process of microprinting paper currency involves fewer steps than does the printing of paper currency with the special ink.
(D) Before photocopying technology existed, most counterfeits of paper currency were accomplished by master engravers.（A）
(E) Many criminals do not have access to the advanced photocopiers that are needed to produce counterfeits of microprinted paper currency that cashiers will accept as real.
不懂為什麼答案選A , 可不可以解釋一下 解題的步驟 謝謝
11. The Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) is based on a law that allows developers to use land inhabited by endangered species in exchange for a promise to preserve critical habitat or provide replacement land nearby. Some individuals of endangered species are lost in return for assurances by the owner or developer that habitat for those remaining animals will be protected. Environmentalists are pleased that HCPs allowed them to win concessions from developers who would otherwise ignore rarely enforced environmental laws. Satisfied property owners prefer HCPs to more restrictive prohibitions of land use.
The situation described above most closely conforms to which one of the following
principles?
(A) In order to avoid protracted legal battles environmentalists should compromise with developers.
(B) Developers should adhere only to those environmental laws that are not overburdensome.
(C) Laws should not be designed to serve the interests of all the parties concerned since they are often so weak that no one’s interest is served well.
(D) Laws should be fashioned in such a way as to reconcile the interests of developers and environmentalists.（D）
(E) The most effective means of preserving endangered species is to refrain from alienating property owners.
有點看不懂這一題 想請翻譯一下 謝謝
楼主，第2题答案呢？
The 2nd one is D.
Both are quite straightforward, I think maybe you didnt get stim.
The 1st one is comparing two methods of making paper money, Micro printing can easily detect conterfeits (fakes) by experts but not an average person, and special ink can enable anybody to recognize conterfeits but more expesive than microprinting. The speical ink printing is recommended.
You job is to strengthen the recommendation.
In a comprative stim, the strengthen or weaken usually invovles either showing a strength of one method or a shortcoming depending on the task. And that's what A is, showing microprinting has a shortcoming.
The other 4 are typical fillers, stating some facts cannot be interpreted as strength or shortcoming.
The 2nd one is that HCP makes comprimises with developers in allowing them develop some areas while setting aside part of if as natural habitat. HCP is preferred by delvelopers and enviromentalists. It is a strengthen_principle question, and D does the job. The only confusing answer could be A, but legal battle is not the focus here.
