标题: OG12 124 [打印本页] 作者: ericafdl 时间: 2010-7-5 23:03 标题: OG12 124 124.Museums that house Renaissance oil paintings typically store them in environments that are carefully kept within narrow margins of temperature and humidity to inhibit any deterioration. Laboratory tests have shown that the kind of oil paint used in these paintings actually adjusts to climatic changes quite well. If, as some museum directors believe, paint is the most sensitive substance in these works, then by relaxing the standards for temperature and humidity control,museums can reduce energy costs without risking damage to these paintings. Museums would be rash to relax those standards, however, since results of preliminary tests indicate that gesso, a compound routinely used by Renaissance artists to help paint adhere to the canvas, is unable to withstand signifi cant variations in humidity. In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles? (A) The fi rst is an objection that has been raised against the position taken by the argument; the second is the position taken by the argument. (B) The fi rst is the position taken by the argument; the second is the position that the argument calls into question. (C) The fi rst is a judgment that has been offered in support of the position that the argument calls into question; the second is a circumstance on which that judgment is, in part, based. (D) The fi rst is a judgment that has been offered in support of the position that the argument calls into question; the second is that position. (E) The fi rst is a claim that the argument calls into question; the second is the position taken by the argument.
这题看得很糊涂，这里的argument, judgment, position分别指的是什么？作者: nanisoga 时间: 2010-7-5 23:11
其实bold face 题归根到底的表示词的性质的只有两种，就是support和conclusion 但是可以引申为plan/assumption/claim/evidence/explaination/support/finding 这些都是表示支持或反对结论，而conclusion/position/argument 表示的都是结论性的东西，这些事用来判断性质的词，所以就词而言，本身内部的替换不是主要的区别，比如conclusion position 和argument 都表示结论作者: ericafdl 时间: 2010-7-6 14:43
不理解这题的答案为什么是D, paint is the most sensitive substance in these works 并没有读出来这个argument在question这句话啊？
我的答案是B，请高人指点下作者: ericafdl 时间: 2010-7-6 23:38

本题，我是这样做的，boldface题关键是寻找转折词语，来判断方向，本题however，在两个boldface语句的后边，所以说，这两句话都是和作者的意思相反，而请lz记住，一般表示position和conclusion的在题中开始和结尾部分，第一句话是在题中间，是support。而第二句话则是在however，之前，所以是position，两句话都是作者 call into question的作者: alanuonuo 时间: 2010-7-9 07:05
paint is the most sensitive substance in these works 显然不是作者的Position，所以B是不对的，呵呵，我也选错了。
