[face=Georgia]7. It is not correct that the people of the United States, relative to comparable countries, are the most lightly taxed. True, the United States has the lowest tax, as percent of gross domestic product, of the Western industrialized countries, but tax rates alone do not tell the whole story. People in the United States pay out of pocket for many goods and services provided from tax revenues elsewhere. Consider universal health care, which is an entitlement supported by tax revenues in every other Western industrialized country. United States government health-care expenditures are equivalent to about 5 percent of the gross domestic product, but private health-care expenditures represent another 7 percent. This 7 percent, then, amounts to a tax.
The argument concerning whether the people of the United States are the most lightly taxed is most vulnerable to which one of the following criticisms?
(A) It bases a comparison on percentages rather than on absolute numbers
(B) It unreasonably extends the application of a key term
(C) It uses negatively charged language instead of attempting to give a reason
(D) It generalizes from only a few instances
(E) It sets up a dichotomy between alternatives that are not exclusive
这是一个纯逻辑题目，我选A，答案是B.请指点思路
9. In a mature tourist market such as Bellaria there are only two ways hotel owners can increase profits: by building more rooms or by improving what is already there. Rigid land-use laws in Bellaria rule out construction of new hotels or, indeed, any expansion of hotel capacity. It follows that hotel owners cannot increase their profits in Bellaria since Bellarian hotels _____.
Which one of the following logically completes the argument?
(A) are already operating at an occupancy rate approaching 100 percent year-round
(B) could not have been sited any more attractively than they are even in the absence of land-use laws
(C) have to contend with upward pressures on the cost of labor which stem from an incipient shortage of trained personnel
(D) already provide a level of luxury that is at the limits of what even wealthy patrons are prepared to pay for
(E) have shifted from serving mainly Bellarian tourists to serving foreign tourists traveling in organized tour groups
答案竟然是D,太让我吃惊了。
13. From an analysis of broken pottery and statuary, archaeologists have estimated that an ancient settlement in southwestern Arabia was established around 1000 B.C. However, new evidence suggests that the settlement is considerably older: tests show that a piece of building timber recently uncovered at the site is substantially older than the pottery and statuary.
Which one of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the conclusion drawn from the new evidence?
(A) The building timber bore marks suggesting that it had been salvaged from an earlier settlement
(B) The pieces of pottery and fragments of statues that were analyzed come from several parts of the site
(C) The tests used to determine the age of the pottery and statuary had been devised more recently than those used to determine the age of the building timber
(D) The site has yielded many more samples of pottery and statuary than of building timber
(E) The type of pottery found at the site is similar to a type of pottery associated with civilizations that existed before 1000 B.C.
答案是A,我怎么觉得A是加强啊！[/face] |
