标题: 求助prep08 两道题！！！想不明白 [打印本页] 作者: duduer 时间: 2011-8-29 18:00 标题: 求助prep08 两道题！！！想不明白 Citizens of Parktown are worried by the increased frequency of serious crimes committed by local teenagers.In response, the city government has instituted a series of measures designed to keep teenagers at home in the late evening.Even if the measures succeed in keeping teenagers at home, however, they are unlikely to affect the problem that concerns citizens, since most crimes committed by local teenagers take place between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Which of the following, if true, most substantially weakens the argument?
A. Similar measures adopted in other places have failed to reduce the number of teenagers on the streets in the late evening.
B. The crimes committed by teenagers in the afternoon are mostly small thefts and inconsequential vandalism.
C. Teenagers are much less likely to commit serious crimes when they are at home than when they are not at home.
D. Any decrease in the need for police patrols in the late evening would not mean that there could be more intensive patrolling in the afternoon.
E. The schools in Parktown have introduced a number of after-school programs that will be available to teenagers until 6 p.m. on weekday afternoons.
答案：B 犯罪时间和政府禁止时间不同已经削弱了，为什么还要说是小偷小摸呢？

Kitchen magazine plans to license the use of its name by a line of cookware.For a magazine, licensing the use of its name for products involves some danger, since if the products disappoint consumers, the magazine's reputation suffers, with consequent reductions in circulation and advertising.However, experts have evaluated the cookware and found it superior to all other cookware advertised in Kitchen.Therefore, Kitchen can collect its licensing fee without endangering its other revenues.
The argument above assumes which of the following?
A. No other line of cookware is superior to that which will carry the Kitchen name.
B. Kitchen will not license the use of its name for any products other than the line of cookware.
C. Makers of cookware will not find Kitchen a less attractive advertising vehicle because the magazine's name is associated with a competing product.
D. Consumers who are not regular readers of Kitchen magazine will be attracted to the cookware by the Kitchen name.
E. Kitchen is one of the most prestigious cooking-related magazines.
答案：c 为什么是炉子制造商不介意而不是消费者了？

The first sentence says "Citizensof Parktown are worried by the increased frequency of serious crimes committedby local teenagers." Note the modifier SERIOUS.
If B is right, the argument falls apart because the petty crimes are not concerns of the citizens and petty crimes happens between 3 pm and 6 pm. Note the modifiers petty and inconsequential.作者: sdcar2010 时间: 2011-8-30 09:29
