104. That the policy of nuclear deterrence has worked thus far is unquestionable. Since the end of the Second World War, the very fact that there were nuclear armaments in existence has kept major powers from using nuclear weapons, for fear of starting a worldwide nuclear exchange that would make the land of the power initiating it uninhabitable. The proof is that a third world war between superpowers has not happened.

Which one of the following, if true, indicates a flaw in the argument?

A.        Maintaining a high level of nuclear armaments represents a significant drain on a country’s economy.

B.        From what has happened in the past, it is impossible to infer with certainty what will happen in the future, so an accident could still trigger a third world war between superpowers.

C.        Continuing to produce nuclear weapons beyond the minimum needed for deterrence increase the likelihood of a nuclear accident.

D.       The major powers have engaged in many smaller-scale military operations since the end of the Second World War, while refraining from a nuclear confrontation.

E.        It cannot be known whether it was nuclear deterrence that worked, or some other factor, such as a recognition of the economic value of remaining at peace.

答案：E

答案是E，无争议，但我无法排除B，请高人赐教！

107. Because of the recent transformation of the market, Quore, Inc., must increase the next two years, or it will certainly go bankrupt. In fact, however, Quore’s production structure is such that if a 10 percent productivity increase is possible, then a 20 percent increase is attainable.

If the statements above are true, which one of the following must on the basis of them also be true?

A.        It is only Quore’s production structure that makes it possible for Quore to survive the transformation of the market.

B.        Quore will not go bankrupt if it achieves a productivity increase of 20 percent over the next two years.

C.        If the market had not been transformed, Quore would have required no productivity increase in order to avoid bankruptcy.

D.       Because of the transformation of the market, Quore will achieve a productivity increase of 10 percent over the next two years.

E.        If a 20 percent productivity increase is unattainable for Quore, then it must go bankrupt.

107是不是题干少了10％ productity 那两个词？Because of the recent transformation of the market, Quore, Inc., must increase 10％ productity the next two years,

help!

第一题

That the policy of nuclear deterrence has worked thus far is unquestionable.  

The proof is that a third world war between superpowers has not happened

注意都是现在完成时。与将来无关。所以B不对。

第二题，

其实题干中the next two years及后面的相关内容都是每年的概念。

而must increase the next two years, or it will certainly go bankrupt.相当于if Quore doesn't  increase the next two years,  it will certainly go bankrupt.不需要increase 10％ productity 。

多谢！第一题明白了

第二题答案是E，从E只能推出a 10 percent productivity increase is impossible, 不能推出是否increase，所以我觉得应该加上10％限定一下

觉得你的思路是正确的。但是，觉得你这样加了之后，仍然不能解决题目中的问题。

感觉这个题题干是有问题，不知道那位能找找last中的原题，看看是不是题目错了。

根据题干，只有E可能正确。但是，觉得不能逻辑上严密的推导出。（除非我愿文每个词，比如increase理解有物）

可以請教一下大家,Fei-Fei 104第一句的thus far是什麼意思嗎?沒看過這個用法.

先謝了^_^

哈哈,我自己查了一下, thus far=so far,不好意思,大擾大家了.

另外提一下,我自己排除Fei-Fei 104 (B)選項的方法是"白癡原則",就是題目沒講的我都不知道,且不能用固有的思維去設想,所以我認為(B)是我們普遍的認知,而不是題目提到的,所以我排除它.

不曉得這樣的想法對不對,請大家指導一下.

謝謝^_^

第二题应该有问题。

原文是 接下来两年不增长，推出公司破产。

e选项是由增长不到20%就破产。那如果增长8%会怎样呢？
