20. Shy adolescents often devote themselves totally to a hobby to help distract them from the loneliness brought on by their shyness. Sometimes they are able to become friends with others who share their hobby. But if they lose interest in that hobby, their loneliness may be exacerbated. So developing an all-consuming hobby is not a successful strategy for overcoming adolescent loneliness. Which one of the following assumptions does the argument depend on? (A) Eventually, shy adolescents are going to want a wider circle of friends than is provided by their hobby. (B) No successful strategy for overcoming adolescent loneliness ever intensifies that loneliness. (C) Shy adolescents will lose interest in their hobbies if they do not make friends through their engagement in those hobbies. (D) Some other strategy for overcoming adolescent loneliness is generally more successful than is developing an all-consuming hobby. (E) Shy adolescents devote themselves to hobbies mainly because they want to make friends.
就此题，读完选项，只有B涉及到原文的premise和conclusion: make loneliness worse and successful strategy. 然后你可以用逻辑关系来检验。原文的逻辑关系是：exacerbate the loneliness --> not successful strategy. 你可以看到，B其实是原文逻辑关系的逆否命题，即：successful --> not exacerbate the loneliness. 所以B正确。因为两个命题等价。如果作者没有B作assumption, 那么原文的命题就不成立。
做GMAT题目，无论是逻辑，语法，还是阅读，要保持感觉。所以要尽量在考前每天都做一些题目，加强理解，提高速度。我认为你的方法没有问题，我认为逻辑80%靠理解。逻辑关系最简单，无非是A-->B。只要理解了原文中的A，B，C...逻辑不成问题。作者: crusaders 时间: 2004-1-4 12:36

So developing an all-consuming hobby is not a successful strategy for overcoming adolescent loneliness. 怯怯地说---怎莫感觉这句结论和前面的陈述没有任何关系呢？答案也是不太明白，谁能帮忙解释一下。 作者: cranberry 时间: 2004-2-22 14:42
