标题: 求助狒狒上的22题 [打印本页] 作者: shunwen 时间: 2011-6-1 09:20 标题: 求助狒狒上的22题 22. In 1992, a major newspaper circulated throughout North American paid its reporters an average salary paid by its principle competitors to their reporters. An executive of the newspaper argued that this practice was justified, since any shortfall that might exist in the reporters’ salaries is fully compensated by the valuable training they receive through their assignments.
Which one of the following, if true about the newspaper in 1992, most seriously undermines the justification offered by the executive?
A. Senior reporters at the newspaper earned as much as reporters of similar stature who worked for the newspaper’s principle competitors. B. Most of the newspaper’s reporters had worked there for more than ten years. C. The circulation of the newspaper had recently reached a plateau, after it had increased steadily throughout the 1980s. D. The union that represented reporters at the newspaper was different from the union that represented reporters at the newspaper’s competitors. E. The newspaper was widely read throughout continental Europe and Great Britain as well as North America. 这题题目是什么意思。答案也不知道要选什么。作者: camelo777 时间: 2011-6-1 09:54
你这道题是不是打错了，应该是paid its reporters an average salary lower than that paid by its principal,这样应该就理解了吧， 这家报社付的薪水比竞争报社的少，还说是合理的，因为虽然钱少了点，(shortfall that might exist in the reporters's salaries), 但是因为给他们提供了valuable training through assignments所以他们也得到补偿了。 问的是削弱
A无关，讨论的是average salary，不是senior reporter C无关，没有起到削弱作用 D无关，提出了union这个新的概念 E无关 做这种题的时候，我的经验是紧紧的扣住原文的结论，借用一位NN的原话，每段结论都有特殊性，答案一定是和那个特殊性有关的，无关的选项是很容易看出来的。 希望能帮到你作者: shunwen 时间: 2011-6-1 11:40
谢谢这位同学，但是我还有个疑问，当问题中没有结论是怎么办？ 像og的75题。作者: camelo777 时间: 2011-6-1 23:09
你说的是OG12的75题吗？你要是能把题目贴上来会方便一点作者: shunwen 时间: 2011-6-2 08:04
An overly centralized economy, not the changes in the climate, is responsible for the poor agricultural production in Country X since its new government came to power. Neighboring Country Y has experienced the same climatic conditions, but while agricultural production has been falling in Country X, it has been rising in Country Y. Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument above? (A) Industrial production also is declining in Country X. (B) Whereas Country Y is landlocked, Country X has a major seaport. (C) Both Country X and Country Y have been experiencing drought conditions. (D) The crops that have always been grown in Country X are different from those that have always been grown in Country Y. (E) Country X's new government instituted a centralized economy with the intention of ensuring an equitable distribution of goods. 这题从哪里入手？作者: camelo777 时间: 2011-6-2 08:24
首先理解题目的意思 题目说Country X的poor agricultural production不是由于changes in the climate，而是由于An overly centralized economy。 接着题目以邻国为例，说Country Y的climatic conditi和X是一样的，但是agricultural production 却在rising。题目由此得出结论X国的低产量不是因为气候问题，而是因为经济体制。
综上所述，D是答案作者: sdcar2010 时间: 2011-6-2 08:38
For 75, the author's argument hinges on the assumption that everything else is the same between countries X an Y except the type of economy.
D says that at least the crops they grow are different.作者: shunwen 时间: 2011-6-3 01:14
谢谢。我看明白了作者: shunwen 时间: 2011-6-3 08:14
In the years since the city of London imposed strict air-pollution regulations on local industry, the number of bird species seen in and around London has increased dramatically. Similar air-pollution rules should be imposed in other major cities. Each of the following is an assumption made in the argument above EXCEPT: (A) In most major cities, air-pollution problems are caused almost entirely by local industry. (B) Air-pollution regulations on industry have a significant impact on the quality of the air. (C) The air-pollution problems of other major cities are basically similar to those once suffered by London. (D) An increase in the number of bird species in and around a city is desirable. (E) The increased sightings of bird species in and around London reflect an actual increase in the number of species in the area. 这题怎么会选a呢？我觉得应该是e作者: sdcar2010 时间: 2011-6-3 08:28
E is definitely an assumption. Otherwise, one of the premise is wrong.
A, on the other hand is, not necessary. There are many causes of air polution: exhaust gas from cars, local industry, weather patterns, etc. In the case of argument, whether the air pollution is caused entirely by the local industry or not, the author still thinks more strict regulations would help.作者: camelo777 时间: 2011-6-3 09:09
首先就如LS所说，A不是一个必须的assumption，题目只是说限制了污染，所以鸟的数量上升，没规定一定是工业的污染 而E选项在另一方面是必须的，The increased sightings of bird species in and around London reflect an actual increase in the number of species in the area. E选项消除了一个可能，那就是原文中说的鸟的increase可能是暂时的，也许正好这个时候有一大批鸟飞了过来，可能呆两天就走了，那就不能说明这个限制污染是有效果的。 E取非削弱，所以是一个必须的假设作者: shunwen 时间: 2011-6-3 09:26
but the first sentence is regulations on local industry.so I think the A in right.作者: camelo777 时间: 2011-6-3 09:28
A的问题是，A可以是一个假设，但不是绝对的，你不能说所有城市的污染都一定是工业污染对不对，所以A不是必须的作者: shunwen 时间: 2011-6-3 09:29
(D) An increase in the number of bird species in and around a city is desirable.这个D选项到底说的是什么意思作者: camelo777 时间: 2011-6-3 09:34
我的理解是一个城市是希望（自己城市）鸟类的数量增加的，因为如果不是的话，那自然不需要去限制污染了
