标题: 几道GWD,请教/GWD-6-14,GWD-6-32

1,Political Advertisement:






Mayor Delmont’s critics complain about the jobs that were lost in the city under Delmont’s leadership.  Yet the fact is that not only were more jobs created than were eliminated, but the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide every year since Delmont took office.  So there can be no question that throughout Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.






Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument in the advertisement?







  1. The average pay for jobs created in the city during the past three years was higher than the average pay for jobs created in the city earlier in Mayor Delmont’s tenure.


  2. Average pay in the city was at a ten-year low when Mayor Delmont took office.


  3. Some of the jobs created in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure have in the meantime been eliminated again.


  4. The average pay for jobs eliminated in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure has been roughly equal every year to the average pay for jobs citywide.

  5. The average pay for jobs in the city is currently higher than it is for jobs in the suburbs surrounding the city

2,


Proposal:  Carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere block the escape of heat into space.  So emission of these “greenhouse” gases contributes to global warming.  In order to reduce global warming, emission of greenhouse gases needs to be reduced.  Therefore, the methane now emitted from open landfills should instead be burned to produce electricity.






Objection:  The burning of methane generates carbon dioxide that is released into the atmosphere.






Which of the following, if true, most adequately counters the objection made to the proposal?







  1. Every time a human being or other mammal exhales, there is some carbon dioxide released into the air.


  2. The conversion of methane to electricity would occur at a considerable distance from the landfills.


  3. The methane that is used to generate electricity would generally be used as a substitute for a fuel that does not produce any greenhouse gases when burned.


  4. Methane in the atmosphere is more effective in blocking the escape of heat from the Earth than is carbon dioxide.


  5. The amount of methane emitted from the landfills could be reduced if the materials whose decomposition produces methane were not discarded, but recycled.

Q1: D.
D says Average pay for jobs losted = city-wide average pay, and theadvertisement states that average pay for new jobs > city-wideaverage, so D supports the argument that the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.

Q2: D.
两害相权取其轻．Methane without burning contributes more to green house effects than Carbon dioxide generated by burning of Methane.

答案是C,C
作者: robertchu    时间: 2004-6-21 13:40
Well, I guess the 答案错了．  I'm pretty confident of my answers, unless some NN could convince me otherwise :-)
作者: opeman    时间: 2004-6-21 13:56
Agree, the answer must be D, D        .\,
作者: crazyep    时间: 2004-9-9 17:54

32 提我觉得应该是C。

    proposal 观点 ：M should be burned

    objection 观点： M burn 了危害更大，所以不能burn

   counter object  要说burn 了没有危害 ， 所以是D。

脑袋打结了，还是不懂第二道题，(偶选C)， 请NN们再给解释一下。多谢了

偶不是牛NN。M的危害比二氧化碳大，那么把M转换成二氧化碳危害相比要小，得到改进了

D. Methane in the atmosphere is more effective in blocking the escape of heat from the Earth than is carbon dioxide.

if it's D, then the global warming will be increased rather than reduced.  what you think?

Hi, All:選項C提到的methane as fuel是否符合題目proposal 中所述 methane be burned to produce electricity?

if yes, c should be OK, right?

From携隐：


答案应该是D。反对意见说，燃烧M会产生C，所以燃烧M这个计划不管用。也就是说，去掉了M，产生了C，对温室效应的作用是一样的，因此proposal没有意义。但这个反对意见忽略了一点：如果M比C产生的温室效应更大的话，那么烧掉M产生C也会使得proposal有意义。答案D指出了这一点。


C说的是：燃烧M没有产生C。这是在反对文章给出的前提了。这没有说服力。就像两个小孩吵架，一个说，我是对的，另一个说，你就是不对。这是斗气不是削弱：）费费说了，削弱千万不能去削前提。

支持答案D、D。

支持DD
作者: ponytoto    时间: 2007-7-2 22:08

某市长任内创造了更多工作机会，而且工作者的平均收入增加了。所以该市长任内，工作的人人均收入增加了。需要找个因素支持这个事情。

  1. Stengthen。市长任内新创造的工作岗位收入较以往的新工作有提高，假设其他条件不变，人均收入应该高了。

  2. Not related.市长当时上任时，人均收入处于十年来的最低水平。但是这并不影响市长在任内提高人均收入，创造更多就业。

  3. undermine。 市长创造的新工作岗位随后就没有了。

  4. Not Related。市长创造的工作岗位收入并不高，和以往持平。那工作的人的平均收入应该不受影响，维持原来水平。
  5. Not Related.现在市区的工作比郊区的工作收入高。但是是否是其他原因引起的？或者在市长上任前情况如何并不知道。所以与题意无关。

结论：a

D中说methane对于全球变暖危害更大，现在将methane转为electricity，虽然也排放二氧化碳，但比直接排放二氧化碳的危害少了，所以是可反驳的；
我开始选的也是C，后来想想就觉得可能是这样理解的：C中说methane可以替代一个fuel，于是就没有了二氧化碳的排放，所以可行，但是事实上methane燃烧生电也是要有二氧化碳的，所以我觉得C说的更直接、更有反驳效果。

以上是浅见，还请各位路过的朋友们，大牛们指点一二，我critical reasoning才入门，所以说的不到之处还请多多指教！先谢谢各位！

我一开始也选的C，后面想明白了，M would be used as a substitute for a fuel that dosen't generate greenhouse gas,这里说原来的fuel不会产生温室气体，并没有说M也不会产生。所以相比D，C就显得弱了
