标题: 在线等，一道具奇怪的ASSUMPTION [打印本页] 作者: vvccyy 时间: 2010-8-12 19:31 标题: 在线等，一道具奇怪的ASSUMPTION 1. The sense of delayed gratification, of working now for later pleasure, has helped shape the economic behavior of our society. However, that sense is no longer nurtured as consistently in our children as it once was. For example, it used to take a bit of patience to put together the toys that children got in cereal boxes; now the toys come from the boxes whole. Which of the following is an assumption of the passage above? A. The toys in cereal boxes have changed partly because the economic conditions of our society have improved B. The influence of promotion gimmicks on the economic behavior of our society has increased over the year C. The toys that used to come in cereal boxes were put together by the same children who played with them’ D. art of the pleasure of any toy lies in putting the toy together before playing with it E. Today’s children do not expect a single toy to provide pleasure for a long period of time 我觉得这个的结论重点在于：as consistently in our children as it once was, 故答案为C，不知道是不是这样。。。 刚又仔细看了，其实作者是想说明，先工作是为了后面的快乐，因此C答案说，把玩具组装好的孩子，就是那些后来玩此玩具的，跟文章的结论相符，应该是这个方向，最先的推论是错误的，想听听大家的意见。作者: 子夜风衍 时间: 2010-11-11 15:39
流氓题目啊，取个非 The toys that used to come in cereal boxes were not put together by the same children who played with them 也就是说不管是不是组装玩具 小孩压根没参加组装过程，玩的都是装好的 原题 主要逻辑 是以前和现在的对比作者: nrfujian 时间: 2010-11-11 17:44
我觉得这题虽然题干是以前和现在在对比，但其实问的只是要以前结论成立的假设。以前认为的现在的工作是为了能以后获得快乐，从而对应的例子是先装玩具后玩的人会收获快乐。如果把工作和装玩具作为类比来看，assumption应该是表明两者本质没有不同，而工作后获得快乐的人是同一个人，所以应该assume装玩具的人跟玩玩具的是同一个人。TEST取非，如果装玩具的人不是玩玩具的人，就割裂了关系，那么就推不出现在工作是为了以后快乐。 不知楼下高见
art of the pleasure of any toy lies in putting the toy together before playing with it
