B: The old 6 pack can can suffocate the animals.
P: The proposed plan is to switch the old 6 pack can to the new ones, and the rings of can will disintegrate in 3 days after exposing under the sun.
C: Therefore, the number of animals suffocated by the rings of cans will be eliminated after this switchover.
Pre: Some of these new rings of cans will not disintegrate in 3 days.
After switchover, new rings of cans can cause more dangerous to the animals.
Analysis:
(A) The switchover to the new plastic rings will
take at least two more years to complete.
--------------------------------------------------------Although the switchover has to take 2 more years to complete, this new plan can be effective as well.
(B) After the beverage companies have switched
over to the new plastic rings, a substantial
number of the old plastic rings will persist
in most aquatic and woodland environments.
--------------------------------------------------------this can be contender at first.
(C) The new plastic rings are slightly less
expensive than the old rings.
--------------------------------------------------------the price is not irrelevant here.
(D) The new plastic rings rarely disintegrate
during shipping of beverage six-packs
because most trucks that transport canned
beverages protect their cargo from sunlight.
--------------------------------------------------------this doesn't help since the cans will eventually be exposed under the sun after shipping, so this plan can still work.
(E) The new plastic rings disintegrate into
substances that are harmful to aquatic
animals when ingested in substantial
quantities by them.
--------------------------------------------------------I think choice E is better than B. since it mentions the side effect of this new plan.
非常的幸运，这道题目错了~终于找到自己的又一个缺陷：不扣准结论，凭空想象。
解释的这句话非常重要:
Instead, answer choice (E) is a shell game that attacks a conclusion
that is similar but different than the actual conclusion. Remember, one of the
rules for weakening arguments is to focus on the conclusion, and knowing the
details of the conclusion is part of that focus.
经过分析：
(B) After the beverage companies have switched
over to the new plastic rings, a substantial
number of the old plastic rings will persist
in most aquatic and woodland environments.--------------------说明大量的old plastic rings still exist in woodland environments,所以很容易还会继续suffocate animals.
(E) The new plastic rings disintegrate into
substances that are harmful to aquatic
animals when ingested in substantial
quantities by them.----------------------------------------------------E说new plan will be harmful to the aquatic animals首先文中没有特定指出什么样的animals，其次这个选项并没有说是怎样的harm，即有可能不是suffocated造成的，那么就和结论不符了。

今天第一题就卡住了，不过看完解释后豁然开朗啦~~~因为conclusion里没说是new还是old plastic~~~ 所以选B~~~刚开始不确定是不是B就是因为没注意到这一点，脑海里一直都是the new plastic\ sunlight~~~连prephrase都偏啦~~~ 不过还好后面的题做对了，虽然分析的比较慢~~~

Time: 01:05
BG: the plastic rings of beverage cans pose a threat to wild animals by suffocating them.
Premise: All beverage companies will soon use new plastic rings that disintegrate after 3 days exposure to sunlight.
Conclusion: once we all use the new plastic, the threat to wild animals will be eliminated.
Type: weaken
Prephrase: where the new plastic deposits has no sunlight.
Choice: B
(A)The switchover to the new plastic rings willtake at least two more years to complete.
---------- no matter how long it takes to complete, the conclusion may still be established once completed.(B) After the beverage companies have switchedover to the new plastic rings, a substantialnumber of the old plastic rings will persistin most aquatic and woodland environments.
---------- correct. the representative does not say the threat from new plastic rings will be eliminated, but rather the threat from plastic rings, which includes both old and new rings. (C) The new plastic rings are slightly lessexpensive than the old rings.
---------- the price of the plastic has nothing to do with the elimination of the threat. Out-of-scope answer.(D) The new plastic rings rarely disintegrateduring shipping of beverage six-packsbecause most trucks that transport cannedbeverages protect their cargo from sunlight.
---------- this answer does not affect the conclusion because it does not address the threat of suffocation to animals.(E) The new plastic rings disintegrate intosubstances that are harmful to aquaticanimals when ingested in substantialquantities by them.
---------- this choice neglect the specific of the threat stated in the conclusion, i.e. the threat of suffocation. Shell Game
Remember, one of the rules for weakening arguments is to focus on the conclusion, and knowing the details of the conclusion is part of that focus.Never choose answer choice (E) just because the first four answers are not overly attractive! Always make a thorough analysis of every answer choice and remember that the test makers know that people get nervous if none of the first four answer choices jump out at them. Do not let the test takers draw you into a trap!

Question1:
Premise: he plastic rings that hold six-packs of beverage cans together pose a threat to wild animals, which often become entangled in the discarded rings and suffocate as a result. Following our lead, all beverage companies will soon use only those rings consisting of a new plastic that
disintegrates after only three days’ exposure to sunlight.
Conclusion: Once we all complete the switchover from the old to the new plastic rings, therefore,
the threat of suffocation that plastic rings pose to wild animals will be eliminated.
Switchover eliminate the threat of suffocation
If the threat of old plastic rings will keep a long time, we can weaken the argument. Because the conclusion has one word”once”, which means immediately.

E. Irrelevant
Question 2:
Background: Tiger sharks are common in the waters surrounding Tenare Island
Premise: Usually tiger sharks feed on smaller sharks, but sometimes they have attacked tourists swimming and surfing at Tenare's beaches. This has hurt Tenare's tourism industry, which is second only to its fishing industry in annual revenues.
Tiger feed small shark---sometimes attack tourists ---hurt tourism industry (second industry,first is finishing)
Conclusion: In order to help the economy, therefore, the mayor of the island has proposed an ongoing program to kill any tiger sharks within a mile of the beaches.
Help economy propose program to kill any tiger sharks
If we prove that the propose cannot help the economy, we will weaken the conclusion.
A. Irrelevant
B. Strengthen

D. Correct. Because the program propose to kill all the tiger sharks, and the number of their prey that smaller sharks will increase. Small sharks feed on fish and fishing is the first industry in T.
It is not good for economy.
E. Irrelevant
Question 3:
Fact 1: The country of Ertland has never imported apples in any significant quantity because consumers there generally prefer the unique texture of Ertland-grown apples.
Fact 2: Nevertheless, apple growers from Kosolia, a neighboring country, plan to sell their apples in Ertland by selling Kosolia-grown apples at half the price of local apples and promoting them as a nourishing, low-cost alternative.
If we prove that even the price of K apple is half of E apple, the E residents wil not buy for some reasons, it will weaken the conclusion.
A. Support
B. Irrelevant
C. Irrelevant
D. Irrelevent
E. Correct. Price of K apple can reduced easily. If E sell the apple with a low price, K also can reduce the price to get the market.
F. Question 4:
Premise: As part of major renovations to Flowertown's Main Street train station, consultants to the train company proposed moving the station's entrance from its current valuable Main Street location to a low-rent adjoining side street and then leasing the high-rent entrance space to retail businesses
Conclusion: In that way, the train company could easily pay for those and all other proposed renovations without negative impact on its tight budget
If we prove that the movement will not effect the the business of train station, it will support the conclusion.

B. Correct. The movement will not effect the business of train station
C. Irrelevant
D. Weaken
E. Irrelevant
Question 5:
Premise: The Highway Traffic Safety Institute reports that the PZ 1000 has the fewest injuries per accident of any car in its class.

标题: 5.5 [1-2]
1、读题：33.1''
2、逻辑链：plan：move the current valuable entrance to another location, and rent it to a business retailer.
Goal: the train company could easily pay for those and all other proposed renovations without negative impact on its tight budget.
3、support: the plan will not take bad influence on the work of the train station
(A) More train commuters are employed in breusinesses located on Main Street than in businesses located on the adjoining side street.(irrelevant)
(B) A reliable survey of Flowertown's commuters showed that virtually none of them would use the train any less frequently if the station's entrance were moved.(right, because the train station will not receive the bad effect)
(C) The high-rent block of Flowertown's Main Street includes several buildings whose owners currently seek to replace long-standing tenants lost in recent months.（irrelevant）
(D) If the station's entrance were moved, the train company would need to begin costly renovations to its Main Street entrance space.(weaken)
(E) Ridership on Flowertown trains declined only slightly from 1970 to 1985 while other train companies lost large numbers of commuters.(irrelevant)

2、逻辑链：background information：in the plastic beverage, ring will integrate together and do harm to the animals.
Premise:if the beverage companies use a new kind of plastic, which would not integrate together after the exposure to the sunlight 3 days.
Conclusion: the threat to the animals will be eliminated.
3、Weaken: other reasons will hurt the animals and cannot be eliminated by the change to the new materials.) The switchover to the new plastic rings will
(A) The switchover to the new plastic rings will
take at least two more years to complete.(无关)
(B) After the beverage companies have switched
over to the new plastic rings, a substantial
number of the old plastic rings will persist
in most aquatic and woodland environments.（irrelevant）
(C) The new plastic rings are slightly less
expensive than the old rings.（irrelevant）
(D) The new plastic rings rarely disintegrate
during shipping of beverage six-packs
because most trucks that transport canned
beverages protect their cargo from sunlight.(right)
While this is nice information from a customer service
standpoint (you do not want your six-pack of beer falling apart as you walk out
of the store), this answer does not affect the conclusion because it does not
address the threat of suffocation to animals.
(E) The new plastic rings disintegrate into
substances that are harmful to aquatic
animals when ingested in substantial
quantities by them.（not the aquatic animals, but the wild animals）
错了 正确选BAnswer choice (B): This is the correct answer. Most people select answer
choice (E), but as you will see, (E) is incorrect. This answer undermines the
representative’s conclusion by showing that even after the switchover is
complete, the threat to animals from plastic rings will persist. Note the carefully
worded nature of the conclusion—the representative does not say the threat
from new plastic rings will be eliminated, but rather the threat from plastic rings,
which includes both old and new rings.

1. Beverage company representative: The plastic rings
that hold six-packs of beverage cans together
pose a threat to wild animals, which often
become entangled in the discarded rings and
suffocate as a result. Following our lead, all
beverage companies will soon use only those
rings consisting of a new plastic that
disintegrates after only three days’ exposure to
sunlight. Once we all complete the switchover
from the old to the new plastic rings, therefore,
the threat of suffocation that plastic rings pose
to wild animals will be eliminated.
Which one of the following, if true, most seriously
weakens the representative’s argument?

一：完整逻辑链
Background Information
The plastic rings that hold six-packs of beverage cans together pose a threat to wild animals, which often become entangled in the discarded rings and suffocate as a result.
Premise
All beverage companies will soon use only those rings consisting of a new plastic that disintegrates after only three days’ exposure to sunlight.
Conclusion
Once we all complete the switchover from the old to the new plastic rings, therefore, the threat of suffocation that plastic rings pose to wild animals will be eliminated.

这题答案挺奇怪的。结论是说“把进口挪个位，train company可以赚得更多租金，从而轻轻松松付装修的前款”，答案求加强结论，那正确选项应该给出具体的赚租金的例子。但选项B说“进口挪位不影响搭乘火车的人数”，虽然也是变相说train company可以赚更多前，但不扣主题词啊。不过其它四个选项无关，所以相比之下也只能选B选项。有谁可以解答一下我的疑虑。

我认为第一题应该这样理解，结论是：这个threat （是旧plastic对环境起着破坏的作用）可以消除，选一个weaken这个结论b选项是旧plastic依然会存在于水中等所以，依然会对环境起着破坏，这个threat没有消除，而且还会存在，所以b是weaken这个结论
e选项是说的新plastic也会对环境产生影响，但是新plastic并不是结论中说的threat，使我们未知的东西，所以并没有起到weaken结论的作用。

1. Beverage company representative: The plastic rings
that hold six-packs of beverage cans together
pose a threat to wild animals, which often
become entangled in the discarded rings and
suffocate as a result. Following our lead, all
beverage companies will soon use only those
rings consisting of a new plastic that
disintegrates after only three days’ exposure to
sunlight. Once we all complete the switchover
from the old to the new plastic rings, therefore,
the threat of suffocation that plastic rings pose
to wild animals will be eliminated.
Which one of the following, if true, most seriously
weakens the representative’s argument?
--BIBLE WEAKEN NO.2
37s---选错--错因，没有注意文中的关键词，而是把题目generalize。topic是关于suffocation， 而不是threat to the wild animals，认真读conclusion！
background：beverage container pose a threat to wild animals
premise: 某公司有一种方法是污染物在太阳下，几天的时间expose
conclusion: 采用这种方法，从旧的过渡到新的，可以减少对wild animal的伤害
weaken：某container消失之后产生气体污染，threat to animals；
选项：
(A) The switchover to the new plastic rings will
take at least two more years to complete. 结论是关于swichover结束之后的。--关注结论的时间范围
(B) After the beverage companies have switched
over to the new plastic rings, a substantial
number of the old plastic rings will persist weaken对象是，这种过渡能够减少，而不是关于原来的剩余的影响
in most aquatic and woodland environments.
(C) The new plastic rings are slightly less
expensive than the old rings. 无关
(D) The new plastic rings rarely disintegrate
during shipping of beverage six-packs
because most trucks that transport canned
beverages protect their cargo from sunlight. 无关
(E) The new plastic rings disintegrate into
substances that are harmful to aquatic
animals when ingested in substantial
quantities by them. 与预测相符----shell game---选错
Answer choice (E): This is the most commonly chosen answer, and it is a
perfect example of a Shell Game. In this case, the answer preys upon test takers
who fail to heed Primary Objective #4: “Read closely and know precisely what
the author said. Do not generalize!” Many test takers read the conclusion and
think, “So when they start using these new rings, it will make things better for
the animals.” When these test takers get to answer choice (E), the answer looks
extremely attractive because it indicates that the implementation of the new
rings will also have a harmful effect. With this thinking in mind, many test
takers select answer choice (E) thinking it undermines the conclusion and they
are certain they have nailed the question. However, the conclusion is
specifically about suffocation, and answer choice (E) does not address
suffocation. Instead, answer choice (E) is a shell game that attacks a conclusion
that is similar but different than the actual conclusion. Remember, one of the
rules for weakening arguments is to focus on the conclusion, and knowing the
details of the conclusion is part of that focus.
Finally, the placement of answer choice (E) is no accident. Most students do not
immediately identify answer choice (B) as the correct answer, and even those
that keep it as a Contender often feel it could be stronger. Then, just when
things are starting to look bleak, answer choice (E) pops up sounding fairly
reasonable. Most people breathe a sigh of relief and select the answer without
carefully examining the contents. Never choose answer choice (E) just because
the first four answers are not overly attractive! Always make a thorough
analysis of every answer choice and remember that the test makers know that
people get nervous if none of the first four answer choices jump out at them. Do
not let the test takers draw you into a trap!
