7.Although the discount stores in Goreville`s central shopping district are expected to close within five years as a result of competition from a SpendLess discount department store that just opened, those locations will not stay vacant for long. In the five years since the opening of Colson’s, a nondiscount department store, a new store has opened at the location of every store in the shopping district that closed because it could not compete with Colson’s.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. Many customers of Colson’s are expected to do less shopping there than they did before the SpendLess store opened. B. Increasingly, the stores that have opened in the central shopping district since Colson’s opened have been discount stores. C. At present, the central shopping district has as many stores operating in it as it ever had. D. Over the course of the next five years, it is expected that Goreville’s population will grow at a faster rate than it has for the past several decades. E. Many stores in the central shopping district sell types of merchandise that are not available at either SpendLess or Colson’s. 答案B,看不懂题,没思路 15.Business Consultant: Some corporations shun the use of executive titles because they fear that the use of titles indicating position in the corporation tends to inhibit communication up and down the corporate hierarchy. Since an executive who uses a title is treated with more respect by outsiders, however, use of a title can facilitate an executive’s dealings with external businesses. Clearly, corporations should adopt the compromise of encouraging their executives to use their corporate titles externally but not internally, since even if it is widely known that the corporation’s executives use titles outside their organization, this knowledge does not by itself inhibit communication within the corporation.
In the consultant’s reasoning, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A. The first describes a strategy that has been adopted to avoid a certain problem; the second presents a drawback to that strategy. B. The first describes a strategy that has been adopted to avoid a certain problem; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the effectiveness of that strategy as a means of achieving that goal. C. The first describes a strategy that has been adopted to avoid a certain problem; the second is a consideration the consultant raises in questioning the significance of that problem. D. The first is part of an explanation that the consultant offers for a certain phenomenon; the second is that phenomenon. E. The first describes a policy for which the consultant seeks to provide a justification; the second is a consideration the consultant raises as part of that justification. 答案A,我选C,A中后半部分,对第二个黑体的解释我觉得有问题 21.Editorial: The roof of Northtown Council’s equipment-storage building collapsed under the weight of last week’s heavy snowfall. The building was constructed recently and met local building-safety codes in every particular, except that the nails used for attaching roof supports to the building’s columns were of a smaller size than the codes specify for this purpose. Clearly, this collapse exemplifies how even a single, apparently insignificant, departure from safety standards can have severe consequences.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the editorial’s argument?
A. The only other buildings whose roofs collapsed from the weight of the snowfall were older buildings constructed according to less exacting standards than those in the safety codes. B. Because of the particular location of the equipment-storage building, the weight of snow on its roof was greater than the maximum weight allowed for in the safety codes. C. Because the equipment-storage building was not intended for human occupation, some safety-code provisions that would have applied to an office building did not apply to it. D. The columns of the building were no stronger than the building-safety codes required for such a building. E. Because the equipment storage building was where the council kept snowremoval equipment, the building was almost completely empty when the roof collapsed. 答案A,解释以下

38.Many residents of Calovia are committed to using products containing recycled materials. Soon these consumers will get help in identifying such products from a book being published by the Calovian government. The book offers a comprehensive listing, by product type and brand, of goods sold in Calovia that contain recycled material. Therefore, publication of the book will almost certainly increase the use of products containing recycled materials in Calovia.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
A. Proceeds from the sale of the book are not expected to exceed the cost of its publication. B. For numerous types of products, there are many brands that use recycled materials, although their manufacturers and distributors do nothing to advertise those brands’ recycled content. C. For many materials, such as plastics, the recycling process results in a lower grade of material with a correspondingly different range of uses. D. For many types of products listed in the book, all the brands available in Calovia use recycled materials. E. Many manufacturers of products that contain recycled materials vary the proportion of recycled materials in those products in response to changes in price and availability. 答案B,为什么不选D 啊? 谢谢啦!
