4. A work of architecture, if it is to be both inviting and functional for public use, must be unobtrusive, taking second place to the total environment. Modern architects, plagued by egoism, have violated this precept. They have let their strong personalities take over their work, producing buildings that are not functional for public use.

Which one of the statements below follows logically from the statements in the passage?

(A) Unobtrusive architecture is both inviting and functional.

(B) Modern architects who let their strong personalities take over their work produce buildings that are not unobtrusive.

(C) An architect with a strong personality cannot produce buildings that functional well for the public.

(D) A work of architecture that takes second place to the environment functions well for public use.

(E) A work of architecture cannot simultaneously express its architect’s personality and be functional for public use.

虽然我选对了答案B，但看了此题的逻辑结构，发现个问题：
题干中，architecture inviting and functional for public use 推出 unobtrusive， A>B
strong personalities take over their work 推到 buildings that are not functional for public use， C>not A

B中，却是C>not A>not B, 这样不成了， A>B, not A>not B? 这好象有悖于逻辑推理吧？

12. Photovoltaic power plants produce electricity from sunlight. As a result of astonishing recent technological advances, the cost of producing electric power at photovoltaic power plants, allowing for both construction and operating costs, is one-tenth of what it was 20 years ago, whereas the corresponding cost for traditional plants, which burn fossil fuels, has increased. Thus, photovoltaic power plants offer a less expensive approach to meeting demand for electricity than do traditional power plants.

The conclusion of the argument is properly drawn if which one of the following is assumed?

(A) The cost of producing electric power at traditional plants has increased over the past 20 years.

(B) Twenty years ago, traditional power plants were producing 10 times more electric power than were photovoltaic plants.

(C) None of the recent technological advances in producing electric power at photovoltaic plants can be applied to producing power at traditional plants.

(D) Twenty years ago, the cost of producing electric power at photovoltaic plants was less than 20 times the cost of producing power at traditional plants.

(E) The cost of producing electric power at photovoltaic plants is expected to decrease further, while the cost of producing power at traditional plants is not expected to decrease.

答案是D，可我觉得D也不对啊，此提是assume的题，应该是必要条件，然举个例子，如果20年前photovoltic是traditional的25倍，现在用了新科技，成2.5倍（相对于20年前的traditiaonal），但现在的traditional确涨成了原来的3倍(whereas the corresponding cost for traditional plants, which burn fossil fuels, has increased)，结论不还是成立吗？

各位, 给点解释吧，头都晕了（是不是想多了～？）

第一题很清楚
THE WORK OF ARCHITECTURE IS UNOBSTUSIVE
MANY MORDEN ARCHITECT'S WORK IS NOT ARCHITECTURE,
SO THEIR WORK IS OBSTUSIVE
SO CHOOSE B

第二题，二十年前光电发电的成本就是煤电的二十分之一，那么现在光电的成本又下降了十分之一，而且煤电的成本还上升了，所以肯定是光电更便宜咯，这不就是加强了吗

D.Twenty years ago, the cost of producing electric power at photovoltaic plants was less than 20 times the cost of producing power at traditional plants.
意思应该是20年前,光电的成本不到媒电的20倍吧?不是20分之一.

less than 20 times
这个短语的意思我还真没有弄清楚
哪位来给确认一下吧
谢谢先

意思是不到20倍。

这道题目以前好像讨论过。不记得结果了。因为我坚持认为ELSAT肯定是搞错了，D里面应该是less than 10 times.

番茄炒蛋对题4的解释从文章里根本得不到把？

况且这个解释本身就是在犯A推B 负A推负B的错误

以下是引用bryony在2003-12-3 12:11:00的发言：
意思是不到20倍。

这道题目以前好像讨论过。不记得结果了。因为我坚持认为ELSAT肯定是搞错了，D里面应该是less than 10 times.

in my LSAT考古题, D:Twenty years ago, the cost of producing electric power at photovoltaic plants was less than 10 times the cost of producing power at traditional plants.

and the answer is D.
