1. Jennifer: Video rental outlets in Centerville together handled 10,000 fewer video rentals in 1994 than in 1993. The decline in rentals was probably due almost entirely to the February 1994 opening of Videorama, the first and only video rental outlet in the area that, in addition to renting videos, also sold them cheaply. Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the force of the objection that Brad presents to Jennifer's explanation? (A) In 1994 Videorama rented out more videos than it sold. (B) In 1994 two new outlets that rent but that do not sell videos opened in Centerville. (C) Most of the video rental outlets in Centerville rent videos at a discount on certain nights of the week. (D) People often buy videos of movies that they have previously seen in a theater. (E) People who own videos frequently loan them to their friends.
Key: E
2. Most of the world's supply of uranium currently comes from mines. It is possible to extract uranium from seawater, but the cost of doing so is greater than the price that uranium fetches on the world market. Therefore, until the cost of extracting uranium from seawater can somehow be reduced, this method of obtaining uranium is unlikely to be commercially viable.
Which of the following would it be most useful to determine in evaluating the argument? (A) Whether the uranium in deposits on land is rapidly being depleted (B) Whether most uranium is used near where it is mined (C) Whether there are any technological advances that show promise of reducing the cost of extracting uranium from seawater (D) Whether the total amount of uranium in seawater is significantly greater than the total amount of uranium on land (E) Whether uranium can be extracted from freshwater at a cost similar to the cost of extracting it from seawater
Key: A
3. Traces of cultivated emmer wheat have been found among the earliest agricultural remains of many archaeological sites in Europe and Asia. The only place where the wild form of emmer wheat has been found growing is a relatively narrow strip of southwest Asia. Since the oldest remains of cultivated emmer wheat yet found are from village sites in the same narrow strip, it is clear that emmer wheat was first domesticated somewhere in that strip.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
(A) The present-day distribution of another wild wheat, einkorn, which was also domesticated early in the development of agriculture, covers a much larger area of southwest Asia. (B) Modern experiments show that wild emmer wheat can easily be domesticated so as to yield nearly as well as traditionally domestic strains. (Irrelevant) (C) At the time when emmer wheat was first cultivated, it was the most nutritious of all the varieties of grain that were then cultivated. (D) In the region containing the strip where wild emmer wheat has been found, climatic conditions have changed very little since before the development of agriculture. (E) It is very difficult, without genetic testing, to differentiate the wild form of emmer wheat from a closely related wild wheat that also grows in southwest Asia.
Key: D
4. From 1978 to 1988, beverage containers accounted for a steadily decreasing percentage of the total weight of household garbage in the United States. The increasingly widespread practice of recycling aluminum and glass was responsible for most of this decline. However, although aluminum recycling was more widely practiced in this period than glass recycling, it was found that the weight of glass bottles in household garbage declined by a greater percentage than the weight of aluminum cans.
Which of the following, if true of the United States in the period 1978 to 1988, most helps to account for the finding?
(A) Glass bottles are significantly heavier than aluminum cans of comparable size. (B) Recycled aluminum cans were almost all beverage containers, but a significant fraction of the recycled glass bottles had contained products other than beverages. (C) Manufacturers replaced many glass bottles, but few aluminum cans, with plastic containers. (D) The total weight of glass bottles purchased by households increased at a slightly faster rate than the total weight of aluminum cans. (E) In many areas, glass bottles had to be sorted by color of the glass before being recycled, whereas aluminum cans required no sorting.
Key: C
5. The following appeared as part of a column in a popular entertainment magazine: “The producers of the forthcoming movie 3003 will be most likely to maximize their profits if they are willing to pay Robin Good several million dollars to star in it—even though that amount is far more than any other person involved with the movie will make. After all, Robin has in the past been paid a similar amount to work in several films that were very financially successful.”

bana来了~ 1 25s premise： the total amount of videos which were sold in 1994 was less than in 1993. premise: a new video renter called videorama was opened in this area, it the first company notonly rent the video but also sell them in low price. conclusion: because the opening of the videodrama, the sales volume droped. guess: give an other reason~people' habit changed. making a pool,one rent,and several friends watch together . choice:E
2 32s pemise: U from mine, a new plan: extract U from S,but cost a lot conclusion:the plan is not viable until the cost of it will reduce. guess：。。。。 choice 错了。。。A depleted：耗尽的 就是说：如果陆地上的U很快就会被耗尽的话，那么人们也很快就会需要从seawater中提取U，那时，不论花费有没有降低，都只能提取了~ 而D，只是说海中的比陆地的多，如果陆地的没有耗尽，海中的U再多，人们还是会选择相对便宜的陆地的U。所以海中U的多与不多，与人们开不开采没有必然联系，不能起到加强或削弱这个argument的作用。 对不？作者: joelee1991 时间: 2011-9-18 15:01
1.30S BG：the rental in 1994 is fewer than 1993 PR：the decline is due to V,which not only rent vidios,but also sold them cheaply. E
2.35S BG:U is usually extracted from mine. PR:the method to extract from seawater cost greater than market price. con:if the method about from seawater won't reduce,this method can't be viable. A
3.回视了n次.... BG:the EW was found cultivating eariest in Europe and ASia, PR: 1.the wide was found only in a trip in southwest Asia. 2.the oldest remains are found from near that strip. CON:the EW was firstly domesticated in that trip. D 4.50s..（刚看太快了没记住回视..这题又看太慢了..垮掉）
BG:beverage containers set less percentage in household garbage in 1978—1988 because of the recycling of aluminum and glass. PR:A has better recycling than G. but G's weight decline greater than A.
推断：A基数没有G大。 A。
5.40S。 if the movie 3003 make more profit,the producer will pay R much more money than any other actors.but R is paid the same in the past and financially successful.

1 Premise: video rental outlets in 1994 was 10000 fewer than those in 1993 in C Conclusion: the decline was due to the only video rental outlet in C sold them cheaply Weaken: maybe due to other reasons such as people like to borrow videos from their friends E
2 Premise: extracting uranium from seawater costs more than fetching uranium on the market Conclusion: if the cost of extracting uranium from seawater doesn’t reduced, this method will never be used A
3 premise: the wild form of emmer wheat was found in a relatively narrow strip of southwest Asia, and the oldest emmer wheat was found in the same place Conclusion : the emmer wheat was domesticated in that trip C 错了 晚上刚看完这个题型的总结 刚刚再做已经能做对了

Jennifer:Video rental outlets in Centerville together handled 10,000 fewer video rentals in 1994 than in 1993.The decline in rentals was probably due almost entirely to the February 1994 opening of Videorama, the first and only video rental outlet in the area that, in addition to renting videos, also sold them cheaply.
Brad: There must be another explanation: as you yourself said, the decline was on the order of 10,000 rentals. Yet Videorama sold only 4,000 videos in 1994.
1.25s 做过的题目巩固一下，这正确率和速度不算了啊。。都记住了。。^_^ J: the number of C’s video rentals decreased in 1994 the decrease was due to the opening of V V rented and sold videos B: V rented few videos. There must be other explanation Weaken: some people bought videos and then rent them to others Answer：(E) People who own videos frequently loan them to their friends.
2.40s Premise: most u comes from mines. Extracting u from the sea costs more than that sold in the market. Conclusion: the way of extracting u from the sea is unviable unless the cost can be deduced Evaluation: 想不出来~ Answer: (A) Whether the uranium in deposits on land is rapidly being depleted.竟然猜对了= = 我是在想陆上的u少了，市场价肯定提高，就不如去海里提取了，不知这种想法对不？
3.35s Premise: traces of cultivated e wheat have been found in Europe and Asia.

BG: A video rental shop's revenue declined from 1993 to 1994.
PM: There is a newly opened rental shop in the downtown and it not only rents videos but also sell videos at a low price.
CC: The decline in the revenue is due to the new-opened shop.
Weaken the objection（。。Brad的酱油打到哪里去了？) -> support J : E没猜明白。。
2. 45s
BG: Substance U currently mainly comes from mine
PM: It is possible to extract U from seawater but it costs a lot.
CC: U will still remain coming from mine, until the cost of extraction from seawater reduces.
Evaluate: If there are some other cheap methods available or A..whether the resources will be run out of , so that it could not be possible to exploit U from mine any more.

3. 45s
BG: Evidence of cultivated emmer wheat is found in Europe and Asia.
BG: Evidence of wild emmer wheat is only found in a narrow strip in SW Asia.
PM: Since the earliest evidence of cultuvated emmer wheat is also found in the strip.
CC: It is firstly domesticated in that strip.
Strengthen: No other factors such as climate change could affect the domestication. D
4.
BG: Beverage containers decreased in proportion of garbage.
PM: The decrease is due to the recycling of glass and alumn container
Paradox: Althouth Alum is widely practiced in recycling, the weight of glass container declines more than alum.
