标题: 請問一道Boldface題(OG12-117)

117. Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty. It is commonly thought that this happens
because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity. However, studies show that of scientists who
produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty, a disproportionately large number entered
their field at an older age than is usual. Since by the age of forty the large majority of scientists have been
working in their field for at least fifteen years, the studies' finding strongly suggests that the real reason why
scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not that they have aged but rather that scientists
over forty have generally spent too long in their field.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

(A) The first is a claim, the accuracy of which is at issue in the argument; the second is a conclusion drawn on
the basis of that claim.

(B) The first is an objection that has been raised against a position defended in the argument; the second is
that position.

(C) The first is evidence that has been used to support an explanation that the argument challenges; the
second is that explanation.

(D) The first is evidence that has been used to support an explanation that the argument challenges; the
second is a competing explanation that the argument favors.

(E) The first provides evidence to support an explanation that the argument favors; the second is that
explanation.

答案是(E)可以明白the second is a explanation,但是不太了解第一句從哪裡可以看出是a evidence to support an explanation that the argument favors ?
請NN解答了

同问，不明白为什么选E？

However引出的现象（of scientists who
produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty, a disproportionately large number entered
their field at an older age than is usual. ）句子应该是和之前的观点有冲突的啊。

苦盼NN啊

标题: 我觉得挺清楚地
本来有一种说法是It is commonly thought that this happens because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity.但是，作者提出了一个不同的例子反驳这个说法，作者说However, studies show that of scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty,；很明显，作者认为是从事这方面研究太长造成而不是年龄太大造成创造力下降，作者认为原因是：cientists over forty have generally spent too long in their field.

所以，第一个boldface是支持作者观点的证据a evidence to support an explanation that the argument favors

首先，推荐对此题有疑惑的筒子们看看这个贴子：http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_CR/thread-19296-1-1.html
其次，我就是根据这个方法来做的：
1、the first part:Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty. It is commonly thought that this happens because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity
2、the second part:However, studies show that of scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty, a disproportionately large number entered their field at an older age than is usual. Since by the age of forty the large majority of scientists have been working in their field for at least fifteen years, the studies' finding strongly suggests that the real reason why scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not that they have aged but rather that scientists over forty have generally spent too long in their field.
3、其实E选项中的那个argument是指the second part 的argument，那就当然是FAVOR咯·

求牛牛帮我解决一个问题，感激！！

最后1句话“the real reason is not that they have aged but rather that scientists over forty have generally spent too long in their field” 怎么都看不懂是什么意思，“真正的原因不是科学家的年龄太大，而是他们在领域里研究的时间很长” ，题目只是说“他们进入领域的时候年龄比较大” ，这和spent too long有什么关系呢？？

就是说他们在各自的领域里花了太久时间，（前面还有个15年），换言之，在一个领域研究太久，是导致相关创造力被削弱的原因。而不是人们一开始猜想的年龄大导致创造力弱

4LMM给的链接非常好，建议看下。按那个帖子的说法，argument的定义是整段话的推理过程。对这个题而言，我们可以看到argument即在一个领域太久导致创造力变弱，这个argument所challenge的是年龄大导致创造力变弱。第一个BF的引出支持了argument。

多谢！

是怎么看出 argument的呢？

我怎么老是找不到这题的观点呢？

作者: wodexia52 时间: 2010-11-28 17:18
argument 指的是从part 1 到 part 2 的过程。也就是整个推理的过程～

我想问这题的conclusion是哪句话呢？

刚开始看的时候我觉得第二个黑体字所在的句子是结论，于是在5个选项中找conclusion，结果没有。

OG对A选项的解释是rather, it is relied upon as the basis for the argument's conclusion
即第二黑体字是conclusion的basis，那么请问conclusion到底是什么啊？

argument1, However, argument2
However表示的是一种转折，一般Author支持的观点在转折之后给出

a1:Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty,because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity

However

a2: ( studies show that of scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty, a disproportionately large number entered
their field at an older age than is usual )the studies' finding strongly suggests that scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not that they have aged but rather that scientists over forty have generally spent too long in their field.

Both boldfaced portions are in second part.The first provides evidence to support an explanation that the argument favors ;the second is that explanation.

Hope that helps
