The following are some argument from LSAT I can not understand. Maybe some nn can make them clear.

test2-II
Though they soon will, patients should not have a legal right to see their medical records. As a doctor, I see two reasons for this. First, giving them access will be time-wasting because it will significantly reduce the amount of time that medical staff can spend on more important duties, by forcing them to retrieve and return files. Second, if my experience is anything to go by, no patients are going to ask for access to their records anyway.”
Which one of the following, if true, establishes that the doctor’s second reason does not cancel out the first?
(A) The new law will require that doctors, when seeing a patient in their office, must be ready to produce the patient’s records immediately, not just ready to retrieve them.
(B) The task of retrieving and returning files would fall to the lowest-paid member of a doctor’s office staff.
(C) Any patients who asked to see their medical records would also insist on having details they did not understand explained to them.
(D) The new law does not rule out that doctors may charge patients for extra expenses incurred specifically in order to comply with the new law.
(E) Some doctors have all allowing their patients access to their medical records, but those doctors’ patients took no advantage of this policy.
Not clear about the question and have no clue to answer it.

Test3-I-18
The question whether intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is certainly imprecise, because we are not sure how different from us something might be and still count as “intelligent life.” Yet we cannot just decide to define “intelligent life” in some more precise way since it is likely that we will find and recognize intelligent life elsewhere in the universe only if we leave our definitions open to new, unimagined possibilities.
The passage, if seen as an objection to an antecedent claim, challenges that claim by:
(A) showing the claim to be irrelevant to the issue at hand
(B) citing examples that fail to fit proposed definition of “intelligent life”
(C) claiming that “intelligent life” cannot be adequately defined
(D) arguing that the claim, if acted on, would be counterproductive
(E) maintaining that the claim is not supported by the available evidence

Test 4-III-17
Being articulate has been equated with having a large vocabulary. Actually, however, people with large vocabularies have no incentive for, and tend not to engage in, the kind of creative linguistic self-expression that is required when no available words seem adequate. Thus a large vocabulary is a hindrance to using language in a truly articulate way.
Which one of the following is an assumption made in the argument?
(A) When people are truly articulate, they have the capacity to express themselves in situations in which their vocabularies seem inadequate.
(B) People who are able to express themselves creatively in new situations have little incentive to acquire large vocabularies.
(C) The most articulate people are people who have large vocabularies but also are able to express themselves creatively when the situation demands it.
(D) In educating people’ to be more articulate, it would be futile to try to increase the size of their vocabularies.
(E) In unfamiliar situations, even people with large Vocabularies often do not have specifically suitable words available.

Test 4-III-23
There are about 75 brands of microwave popcorn on the market; altogether, they account for a little over half of the money from sales of microwave food products. It takes three minutes to pop corn in the microwave, compared to seven minutes to pop corn conventionally. Yet by weight, microwave popcorn typically costs over five times as much as conventional popcorn. Judging by the popularity of microwave popcorn, many people are willing to pay a high price for just a little additional convenience.
If the statements in the passage are true. Which one of the following must also be true?
(A) No single brand of microwave popcorn accounts for a large share of microwave food product sales.
(B) There are more brands of microwave popcorn on the market than there are of any other microwave food product.
(C) By volume, more microwave popcorn is sold than is conventional popcorn.
(D) More money is spent on microwave food products that take three minutes or less to cook than on microwave food products that take longer to cook.
(E) Of the total number of microwave food products on the market, most are microwave popcorn products.

第一题
Which one of the following, if true, establishes that the doctor’s second reason does not cancel out the first?
建立第二个观点但不会排除削弱第一个观点
First, giving them access will be time-wasting because it will significantly reduce the amount of time that medical staff can spend on more important duties, by forcing them to retrieve and return files. 说的是给他们看 XXX浪费时间
Second, if my experience is anything to go by, no patients are going to ask for
access to their records anyway.” 根据自己的主观经验来判断问题

(A) The new law will require that doctors, when seeing a patient in their office,
must be ready to produce the patient’s records immediately, not just ready to
retrieve them. 反对条件一并与条件二无关
(B) The task of retrieving and returning files would fall to the lowest-paid member of a doctor’s office staff. 说到条件一的一个方面
(C) Any patients who asked to see their medical records would also insist on having details they did not understand explained to them. 说到二浪费时间支持二但无反对一
(D) The new law does not rule out that doctors may charge patients for extra expenses incurred specifically in order to comply with the new law. NEW LAW与条件一二无关
(E) Some doctors have all allowing their patients access to their medical records, but those doctors’ patients took no advantage of this policy. 部分医生怎么怎么样了与条件一二也无关

Test3-I-18
The question whether intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe (ANTECEDENT CLAIM) is certainly imprecise, because we are not sure how different from us something might be and still count as “intelligent life.”
提出 ANTECEDENT CLAIM

Yet we cannot just decide to define “intelligent life” in some more precise way since
it is likely that we will find and recognize intelligent life elsewhere in the universe only if we leave our definitions open to new, unimagined possibilities.
攻击 A C 由连接 ONLY IF
we leave our definitions open to new, unimagined possibilities.
因为只要我们XXXXXXXXX
----------->
we will find and recognize intelligent life elsewhere in the universe
就一定能够XXXXXXXXXX
所以原文中定义说 “whether intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe”
是不正确的因为只要we leave our definitions open to new, unimagined possibilities.
就能find and recognize intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.
*既作者认为定义外星智慧生命进而质疑外星生物的存在是没有意义的,因为作者认为在我们definition open to new, unimagined possibilities的情况下，人们一定回会find and recognize intelligent life elsewhere in the universe *
The passage, if seen as an objection to an antecedent claim, challenges that claim by:
(A) showing the claim to be irrelevant to the issue at hand
(B) citing examples that fail to fit proposed definition of “intelligent life”
(C) claiming that “intelligent life” cannot be adequately defined
(D) arguing that the claim, if acted on, would be counterproductive（AC如果成立将会限制人们思考问题的角度，本来在一定条件下是“必然的”而AC却认为是可一选择的有或没有的关系）
(E) maintaining that the claim is not supported by the available evidence

先弄清原文的 reasoning line
前提(people with large vocabularies have no incentive for, the kind of creative linguistic self-expression)----->
结论(Thus a large vocabulary is a hindrance to using language in a truly articulate way.
)
在前提与结论之间我们可以看出作者换了一个概念
no incentive for, the kind of creative linguistic self-expression
与
a hindrance to using language in a truly articulate way.
问题问的是这个推论的前提也就是把两个概念联系起来是原来的推论变得更完整
(A) When people are truly articulate, they have the capacity to express themselves in situations in which their vocabularies seem inadequate.
正好把这个两者联系起来
Which one of the following is an assumption made in the argument?
(A) When people are truly articulate, they have the capacity to express themselves in situations in which their vocabularies seem inadequate.
(B) People who are able to express themselves creatively in new situations have little incentive to acquire large vocabularies. new situations 文中未提及
(C) The most articulate people are people who have large vocabularies but also are able to express themselves creatively when the situation demands it. 大部分人怎么样诉诸大众观点
(D) In educating people to be more articulate, it would be futile to try to increase the size of their vocabularies. 无关
(E) In unfamiliar situations, even people with large Vocabularies often do not have specifically suitable words available. 无关

Test 4-III-23
There are about 75 brands of microwave popcorn on the market; altogether, they account for a little over half of the money from sales of microwave food products. It takes three minutes to pop corn in the microwave, compared to seven minutes to pop corn conventionally. Yet by weight, microwave popcorn typically costs over five times as much as conventional popcorn. Judging by the popularity of microwave popcorn, many people are willing to pay a high price for just a little additional convenience.

If the statements in the passage are true. Which one of the following must also be true?（是一道归纳题从文中给出的信息来推出下面的数据）

(A) No single brand of microwave popcorn accounts for a large share of microwave food product sales. 无关文中未提及
(B) There are more brands of microwave popcorn on the market than there are of any other microwave food product. 错误比较文中未提及
(C) By volume, more microwave popcorn is sold than is conventional popcorn.
文中只说 Yet by weight, microwave popcorn typically costs over five times as much as conventional popcorn. 提到两者的关系
(D) More money is spent on microwave food products that take three minutes or less to cook than on microwave food products that take longer to cook.
1。they account for a little over half of the money from sales of microwave food products. microwave popcorn的销售额占所有microwave food的一半多一点
2。It takes three minutes to pop corn in the microwave 用的时间短
两个综合一起就是D
(E) Of the total number of microwave food products on the market, most are microwave popcorn products. 错误比较原文比较的是销售额这里比较的是 the total number of microwave food products

Thanks, Crusaders. Now I can follow the conclusion from your explanation. But for the first one, I think there is a point I do not agree: "The new law will require doctors to produce the patient’s records immediately, not just ready to retrieve them" is consistent with "no patients are going to ask for access to their records anyway". Your help is highly appreciated. Happy Monkey Year!
