A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price. Surprisingly, perhaps, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge than the greatest price the market will bear. Many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product,because they want to make as much profit as they can and technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed. The drawback is that large profits on the new product give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product's capabilities.

In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

58.The cause of the wreck of the ship Edmund Fitzgerald in a severe storm on Lake Superior is still unknown. When the sunken wreckage of the vessel was found, searchers discovered the hull in two pieces lying close together. The  storm‘s violent waves would have caused separate pieces floating even briefly on the surface to drift apart. Therefore, the breakup of the hull can be ruled out as the cause of the sinking.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. Ships as large as the Edmund Fitzgerald rarely sink except in the most violent weather.
B. Underwater currents at the time of the storm did not move the separated pieces of the hull together again.
C. Pieces of the hull would have sunk more quickly than the intact hull would have.
D. The waves of the storm were not violent enough to have caused the ship to break up on the surface.
E. If the ship broke up before sinking, the pieces of the hull would not have remained on the surface for very long.
答案是b觉得被绕混了。。

66.A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high  price.

The drawback is that large profits on the new product give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match  the new product's capabilities.
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A. The first is the position the argument advocates; the second presents grounds for rejecting an alternative position.
B. The first is the position the argument advocates; the second is an alternative position that the argument rejects.
C. The first presents a strategy for achieving a certain goal; the second presents a drawback to that strategy.
D. The first presents a strategy for achieving a certain goal; the second presents grounds for preferring a different

goal.
E. The first presents a strategy that, according to the argument, is ineffective; the second presents a way of improving the effectiveness of that strategy.

答案是 a
想知道**the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge than the greatest price the market will bear  和       **charge the maximum possible price for such a product是一个意思么?
因为看见答案将前者定义为a strategy 后者定义为an alternative strateg

每天限答两题,恭喜中奖。

第一题
果因推理找假设
前提(果): When the sunken wreckage of the vessel was found, searchers discovered the hull in two pieces lying close together. The  storm‘s violent waves would have caused separate pieces floating even briefly on the surface to drift apart.
结论(因):the breakup of the hull can be ruled out as the cause of the sinking

果---->因
为了让推论成立,也就是“因”不仅是“因”,还必须是唯一“因”。我们需要defender类assumption,比如:无他因,因果未倒置等等。
B就是一个“无他因”的选项:不是水下的暗流把船的残骸给分开了。
只要给出一个否定他因的选项就是正确答案,哪怕是“不是因为安倍放个屁把船的残骸给崩开了”也是对的。

第二题
Boldface部分是什么?

你是不是落字了?

第一句 the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge (more? less?) than the greatest price the market will bear.

我假设是less吧

想知道**the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge than the greatest price the market will bear  和       **charge the maximum possible price for such a product是一个意思么?

你首先要读懂题的意思啊!
文章说科技比竞争者都NB的产品都一般会要高价(想想三星手机)。很不可思议的是获取最大利润的策略居然是收取比市场可能承受的最高价低一些的策略(不是往死里赚钱)。因为很多公司都想尽可能多的盈利,同时技术优势很快会被追赶上,所以有些公司会把产品定价非常非常高。这么做的缺点是竞争者看到这个产品这么赚钱就会想尽一些办法尽快地去追评技术劣势(就是眼红别人赚大钱变成了研发的动力,导致那个之前有技术优势的公司没赚多长时间钱就没得赚了,因为竞争者很快出了技术类似的产品来抢夺市场)。

明显Surprisingly和后面的句子是对比转折的关系。“是获取最大利润的策略居然是收取比市场可能承受的最高价低一些的策略”是作者认为正确的策略,而“把产品定价非常非常高”是错误的策略。“因为很多公司都想尽可能多的盈利,同时技术优势很快会被追赶上”是用来支持错误策略的论据。而最后一句话指出了错误策略的错误之处,也就是缺点。

这里有两个position,一个是作者认可的,一个是作者不赞同的,自然一个是position,另一个是an alternative position了。

其实这题一点儿也不难,自己仔细读两遍,体会一下每句话的作用,用不了10分钟就理解了。希望你以后问题之前可以自己先仔细思考。
