1. Current legislation that requires designated sections for smokers and nonsmokers on the premises of privately owned businesses is an intrusion into the private sector that cannot be justified. The fact that studies indicate that nonsmokers might be harmed by inhaling the smoke from others’ cigarettes is not the main issue. Rather, the main issue concerns the government’s violation of the right of private businesses to determine their own policies and rules. Which of the following is a principle that, if accepted, could enable the conclusion to be properly drawn? A. Government intrusion into the policies and rules of private businesses is justified only when individuals might be harmed. B. The right of individuals to breathe safe air supersedes the right of businesses to be free from government intrusion. C. The right of businesses to self-determination overrides whatever right or duty the government may have to protect the individual. D. It is the duty of private businesses to protect employees from harm in the workplace. E. Where the rights of businesses and the duty of government conflict, the main issue is finding a successful compromise. Answer: C
2. A survey was recently conducted among ferry passengers on the North Sea. Among the results was this: more of those who had taken anti-seasickness medication before their trip reported symptoms of seasickness than those who had not taken such medication. It is clear, then, that despite claims by drug companies that clinical tests show the contrary, people would be better off not taking anti-seasickness medications. Which one of the following, if true, would most weaken the conclusion above? A. Given rough enough weather, most ferry passengers will have some symptoms of seasickness. B. The clinical tests reported by the drug companies were conducted by the drug companies’ staffs. C. People who do not take anti-seasickness medication are just as likely to respond to a survey on seasickness as people who do. D. The seasickness symptoms of the people who took anti-seasickness medication would have been more severe had they not taken the medication. E. People who have spent money on anti-seasickness medication are less likely to admit symptoms of seasickness than those who have not. Answer: D

With foreign-made parts, you never know which might be reliable and which are cheap look-alikes that are poorly constructed and liable to cost you hundreds of dollars in repairs. Therefore, be smart and insist on brand-name parts by Clark for your car. The argument requires the assumption that A. Clark parts are available only in this country B. foreign-made arts are not suitable for cars manufactured in this country C. no foreign-made parts satisfy our government standards D. parts that satisfy or government standards are not as poorly constructed as cheap foreign made parts E. if parts are made for cars manufactured in our country, they are not poorly constructed Answer: D
4. Despite improvements in treatment for asthma, the death rate from this disease has doubled during the past decade from its previous rate. Two possible explanations for this increase have been offered. First, the recording of deaths due to asthma has become more widespread and accurate in the past decade than it had been previously. Second, there has been an increase in urban pollution. However, since the rate of deaths due to asthma has increased dramatically even in cities with long-standing, comprehensive medical records and with little or no urban pollution, one must instead conclude that the cause of increased deaths is the use of bronchial inhalers by asthma sufferers to relieve their symptoms. Each of the following, if true, provides support to the argument EXCEPT: A. Urban populations have doubled in the past decade. B. Records of asthma deaths are as accurate for the past twenty years as for the past ten years. C. Evidence suggests that inhalers make the lungs more sensitive to irritation by airborne pollen. D. By temporarily relieving the symptoms of asthma, inhalers encourage sufferers to avoid more beneficial measures. E. Ten years ago bronchial inhalers were not available as an asthma treatment. Answer: A
AA “We should not approve the business loan application of the local group that wants to open a franchise outlet for the Kool Kone chain of ice cream parlors. Frostbite is known for its cold winters, and cold weather can mean slow ice cream sales. For example, even though Frostbite is a town of 10,000 people, it has only one ice cream spot — the Frigid Cow. Despite the lack of competition, the Frigid Cow’s net revenues fell by 10 percent last winter.”

2. 25s A survey was recently conducted among ferry passengers on the North Sea. Among the results was this: more of those who had taken anti-seasickness medication before their trip reported symptoms of seasickness than those who had not taken such medication. It is clear, then, that despite claims by drug companies that clinical tests show the contrary, people would be better off not taking anti-seasickness medications. Which one of the following, if true, would most weaken the conclusion above?
Premise: someone who has taken anti-seasickness drug is more likely to be seasick that that who does not take such drug. Conclusion: people’d better not take such drug.
Weak: that is because someone who likely to be seasick is more inclined to take such drug.
A. Given rough enough weather, most ferry passengers will have some symptoms of seasickness. B. The clinical tests reported by the drug companies were conducted by the drug companies’ staffs. C. People who do not take anti-seasickness medication are just as likely to respond to a survey on seasickness as people who do. D.

With foreign-made parts, you never know which might be reliable and which are cheap look-alikes that are poorly constructed and liable to cost you hundreds of dollars in repairs. Therefore, be smart and insist on brand-name parts by Clark for your car. The argument requires the assumption that
Premise: C brand car match the standard in this country. By contract, foreign cars are cheap look-alikes, thus more likely to be repaired. Conclusion: people should buy C brand cars.
Assumption: match the standard will less likely to be repaired.
A. Clark parts are available only in this country B. foreign-made arts are not suitable for cars manufactured in this country C. no foreign-made parts satisfy our government standards D. parts that satisfy or government standards are not as poorly constructed as cheap foreign made parts E. if parts are made for cars manufactured in our country, they are not poorly constructed Answer: D C看起来和文章的逻辑不相关吧。文章就是说了是因为国外的质量不好（A），所以得出了be smart and insist on brand-name parts by Clark for your car（B）. 要建立这两者之间的关系，这个C无关.. C似乎只是再次说明了A的内容。而没有建立起AB之间的关系。 c no foreign-made parts satisfy our government standards 取非 ：not any satisfy到some might satisfy取非不是外国的“都”满足标准，而是some 可能满足标准。所以结果和文中的论据一样，still unknown whether it is poorly constructed；不能说明结论“用本国的是明智选择”一定错

Each of the following, if true, provides support to the argument EXCEPT:
Premise: the record death from asthma has greatly increased during the past several years. There are 2 reasons. 1, the record is more accurate and widespread. 2. Air pollution. Conclusion: the inhaler is the real cause. Because even in some areas have record for a long time and litter pollution, the record death from asthma still increases.
Support except: for some place, people do not use inhaler, the record still increases.
A. Urban populations have doubled in the past decade. B. Records of asthma deaths are as accurate for the past twenty years as for the past ten years. C. Evidence suggests that inhalers make the lungs more sensitive to irritation by airborne pollen. D.

Despite the lack of competition, the Frigid Cow’s net revenues fell by 10 percent last winter.”
1. the threshold problem with this argument is that the author assumes that the cold winter will definitely lead poor sales of ice cream. 2. The second flaw that weakens the logic of this argument is that the author unfairly assumes that the earnings decline of Frigid Cow is on account of the cold winter. 3. his perspective that the franchise outlet for the Kool Kone chain will follow Frigid Cow’s failure is still ill-founded.作者: balapupu 时间: 2011-9-8 09:19
AA:1.cold winter does not mean slow ice cream slae-->it is may be the outside weather is cold, the inside weather of the house is more warm.Therefore, people are more willing to buy ice cream and eat in the home. 2. there are onle one ice cream store in this place, and there are 10,000 people--->It means the market is very large. and the competitor is easy to deal with. 3. the net revenue fell 10 precent does not mean the revenue fell this year.--->last year, the fell revenue may because some other factors, for example: the poor advertisement.作者: balapupu 时间: 2011-9-8 09:22

1. 45s The major issue is not that the nonsmokers are harmed by the smokers' smoking behavior but that businessman's freedom to determine its sales behavior is violated. Strengthen: 政府监管会影响商人的自由，商人无法在限定范围内作出自由决策。
2. 36s More of whom had taken anti-seasickness medicine reported seasickness than those who had not taken the medicine. Conclusion: The medicine is not recommended to eat. Weaken: Those who had taken the medicine are atually much more weaker and more easy to have seasickness.
3. 43s On foreign-made parts, you never know which type of parts are more liable and have higher quality. So you should choose brand-name parts by Clark. Assumption: Clark is more reliable.
4. 65s The increase in death rate of asthma among people is not caused by fewer death record and air polluction. Thus, it's caused by the use of bronchial inhalers by asthma sufferers. Strengthen: a. It's also not caused by other reasons. b. Suffers who use bronchial inhalers are more likely to die than suffers who do not use them.

It is clear, then, that despite claims by drug companies that clinical tests show the contrary, people would be better off not taking anti-seasickness medications. 直译： 很明显，尽管药品生产商声明此实验的结论----人们不吃抗晕药物会更好---是与生产商相反的。
1.45s
BG: Government established a law to designate the smoker and non-smoker sectors.
Conclusion: Criticize the law by claiming that it interferes right and privacy.
Principle/Assumption: C the right of private sector is more important.
2. 40s
BG: A survey is conducted on the ferry passengers.
Premise: People who have taken pills reported more symptom of seasickness than people without pills.
CC: So the pills are useless.
Weaken: People who do not take pills don't have the problem of seasickness at all. or D.
3. 45s
CC: Our car parts are the best. We passed through even the toughest test.

CHOOSE US!
Assumption: 我在A,D之间犹豫了。。。求破。A是肿么回事~
4.看了两遍。。。
BG: Despite the improvement of treatment in asthma, the death rate still increases in the recent years.
Reasoning1: The surveys about death rate are more accurate than before.
R2: Urban pollution increases.
PM: In cities with good health care and little pollution, asthma still increases.
CC: Instead, the increase is due to an inhaler.
Weaken/ do not support: A
5. 30s
There is no hope that a new opened ice cream shop is going to gain revenue. And we should not approve the business loan application.
Reasoning1 : Winter is cold, people won't buy ice-cream
Evidence1: With 10000 population, there's only one ice-cream shop.
Evidence2：Even without competition, the only icecream shop experienced a reduction in its revenue.
Attack:
1. In cold winter people could also enjoy icecream indoors.
2. The only existing shop chain is of bad quality and the branches are located too close near eath other, which are the main reasons of the decrease in revenue.
3. Or the whole city is going through a economic depression.
