Q13:
The traditional treatment of strep infections has been a seven-day course of antibiotics,
either penicillin or erythromycin. However, since many patients stop taking those drugs
within three days, reinfection is common in cases where those drugs are prescribed. A
new antibiotic requires only a three-day course of treatment. Therefore, reinfection will
probably be less common in cases where the new antibiotic is prescribed than in cases
where either penicillin or erythromycin is prescribed.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
A. Some of the people who are allergic to penicillin are likely to be allergic to the
new antibiotic.
B. A course of treatment with the new antibiotic costs about the same as a course of
treatment with either penicillin or erythromycin.
C. The new antibiotic has been shown to be effective in eradicating bacterial
infections other than strep.
D. Some physicians have already begun to prescribe the new antibiotic instead of
penicillin or erythromycin for the treatment of some strep infections.
E. Regardless of whether they take a traditional antibiotic or the new one, most
patients feel fully recovered after taking the drug for three days.

答案是e

但我觉得c更有道理啊,因为新药更有效地根除细菌感染,所以不大可能发生再次感染嘛

大家觉得呢

Q16:
In response to mounting pubic concern, an airplane manufacturer implemented a program
with the well-publicized goal of reducing by half the total yearly amount of hazardous
waste generated by its passenger-jet division. When the program began in 1994, the
division’s hazardous waste output was 90 pounds per production worker; last year it was
40 pounds per production worker. Clearly, therefore, charges that the manufacturer’s
program has not met its goal are false.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. The amount of nonhazardous waste generated each year by the passenger-jet
division has not increased significantly since 1994.
B. At least as many passenger jets were produced by the division last year as had
been produced in 1994.
C. Since 1994, other divisions in the company have achieved reductions in hazardous
waste output that are at least equal to that achieved in the passenger-jet division.
D. The average number of weekly hours per production worker in the passenger-jet
division was not significantly greater last year than it was in 1994.
E. The number of production workers assigned to the passenger-jet division was not
significantly less in 1994 than it was last year.
Answer:B

答案是b,但我觉得是e

大家也讨论一下吧
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  c说新药更有效地根除细菌感染而不是strep菌，而题目给的是treatment of strep infections。所以不对。

2. 我一开始也以为是E，但发现我把题目看反了。试答一下：

题目：为了对日益增长的公众担忧，飞机制造公司实施一个方案：将passenger-jet 部门每年产生的有害的废物降低一半。方案在1994年开始实施的时候，该部门的废物排放是每工人90磅，而去年是每工人40磅。因此，那些认为公司的方案没有达到目标的指控是错误的。

总排放废物/总工人数＝每工人磅

13.strep难道不是bacteria的一种吗?

16.你题目可能没看仔细,目标是总排放废物减少,=每工人磅*总工人数,e取非的话,完全有可能推翻降低一半总排放废物的结论.

另外13,16中给出的正确答案我都看不出对在哪里啊

1. C. The new antibiotic has been shown to be effective in eradicating bacterial infections other than strep.

13题我认为几个选项都不太对，相比之下C更好。因为reinfection会不会也包括由于其他病菌引起的？我选择C。

16题我认为选E。

13.选项是比出来的，只有那个相比之下比较正确的才能入选。C和文章原文冲突，E虽然不是直接支持，但并没有错误。

16.B说现产量大于等于1994，E说现产量大于1994，但不大太多。语义上B更直接。

且B直接说 产量，C说单位产量，还要multiple the number of stuff.不如B逻辑直接。

13. E: match perfectly with original passage: e.g. because patient tend to skip drug after 3 days while under penicillin before, E: potentially provide an reason why patient skip drugs because they feel better, so if patients feel better after taking the new drug probably their might skip new drug too, but since new drug have a short treatment course which is 3 days so...
