Q16:

Political Advertisement:

Mayor Delmont’s critics complain about the jobs that were lost in the city under Delmont’s leadership.  Yet the fact is that not only were more jobs created than were eliminated, but each year since Delmont took office the average pay for the new jobs created has been higher than that year’s average pay for jobs citywide.  So it stands to reason that throughout Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument in the advertisement?

1. The unemployment rate in the city is higher today than it was when Mayor Delmont took office.
2. The average pay for jobs in the city was at a ten-year low when Mayor Delmont took office.
3. Each year during Mayor Delmont’s tenure, the average pay for jobs that were eliminated has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide.
4. Most of the jobs eliminated during Mayor Delmont’s tenure were in declining industries.
5. The average pay for jobs in the city is currently lower than it is for jobs in the suburbs surrounding the city.

答案是D，为什么去除的工作大部分在夕阳工业就能weaken这个argument？

好像见过这道题 但是是另一道题

Mayor Delmont’s critics complain about the jobs that were lost in the city under Delmont’s leadership.  Yet the fact is that not only were more jobs created than were eliminated, but the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide every year since Delmont took office.  So there can be no question that throughout Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.

Critics抗议说在D的管理下，工作机会减少。然而，事实不单是创造的工作多于消失的工作，而且新工作的平均薪水高于全区平均水平。所以，毫无疑问，在D的任期内，工资支票额度越来越高。

加强：减少的工作机会的平均薪水低于全区水平。

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument in the advertisement?

1. The average pay for jobs created in the city during the past three years was higher than the average pay for jobs created in the city earlier in Mayor Delmont’s tenure. D任期的新工作的平均工资高于前任创造的新工作的平均工资。

2. Average pay in the city was at a ten-year low when Mayor Delmont took office. 平均工资十年对地，是削弱。

3. Some of the jobs created in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure have in the meantime been eliminated again. 部分的工作创造了又消失了，无关阿。

4. The average pay for jobs eliminated in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure has been roughly equal every year to the average pay for jobs citywide. 这个对，消除的工资跟全区平均工资差不多。

5. The average pay for jobs in the city is currently higher than it is for jobs in the suburbs surrounding the city. 不同区域情况不同，错。

   Answer: D

你问的这道题我觉得b合适 

你问的这道题我觉得b合适 

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument in the advertisement?

1. The unemployment rate in the city is higher today than it was when Mayor Delmont took office. 支持
2. The average pay for jobs in the city was at a ten-year low when Mayor Delmont took office. d执政以来平均工资十年来的最低点，削弱
3. Each year during Mayor Delmont’s tenure, the average pay for jobs that were eliminated has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide. 比较对象无意义
4. Most of the jobs eliminated during Mayor Delmont’s tenure were in declining industries. 我觉得是无关
5. The average pay for jobs in the city is currently lower than it is for jobs in the suburbs surrounding the city.无可比性，无关

谁再解释一下啊 B为什么不行呢

我说说我的理解

这个Advertisement的方向是:在整个D任职期间, the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.->意即认为D是好市长

找WEAKEN结论

C:Each year during Mayor Delmont’s tenure, the average pay for jobs that were eliminated has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide.

原因1.因为created jobs > eliminated jobs

原因2因为新工作平均薪资高于全市平均

想想若average pay高的那群人是被eliminated的…很明显结论表示这个市长未必好

所以我认为ANS:C才是WEAKEN
                

请指教

我也认为答案是C

新工作多于消失的工作，并且新工作的平均工资高于全区水平，如果消失的工作的平均工资也高于全区水平，就说明工资水平没有has been getting steadily bigger．结论句是判断工资水平的提高，因此Ｃ可以削弱结论．

换句话说，如果消失的工作的工资等于全区水平或者低于全区水平，就是加强了．

我的看法：

我也部分认为是C，但是C好像有一点无关比较，原文只有new job, job citywide,

B选项驳斥了前提，所以应该是错的

D选项比较对，因为有个declining industry，而原文是steady bigger，所以有所削弱，

附：我第一次也选择的C

1 楼的D 选项
        是:

D. Most of the jobs eliminated during Mayor Delmont’s tenure were in declining industries.

      问的是: weakens the argument

      3 楼D 选项是

      The average pay for jobs eliminated in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure has been roughly
        equal every year to the average pay for jobs citywide.

    问的是strengthens the argument

    一个削弱, 一个加强, 到底选什么, 怎么选.?
