自己已经找到前人记录了 大全-A-14

The earth’s resources are being depleted much too fast. To correct this, the United States must keep its resource consumption at present levels for many years to come.

14.   Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument above?

(A) New resource deposits are constantly being discovered.

(B) The United States consumes one-third of all resources used in the world.

(C) Other countries need economic development more than the United States does.

(D) Other countries have agreed to hold their resource consumption at present levels.（B）

(E) The United States has been conserving resources for several years.

i also choose D, anybody can explain?

thanks

事实　 :　The earth’s resources are being depleted much too fast.

solution :　To correct this, the United States must keep its resource consumption at present levels for many years to come.　

(B) The United States consumes one-third of all resources used in the world.．．．．．．．．印证solution 为好方法

＜Ｄ＞　Other countries have agreed to hold their resource consumption at present levels．．有other solution的味道support的力道弱了些

这个是理解有偏差，别的国家的行动和US的行动有啥关系。别的国家这样做了，干吗US就得这样做。

举个例子：咱们大院公共用水超标了。因此，我一定得节约用水。从下面选出一个能够加强“我一定得节约用水”的理由：

A.我家是用水大户（类似本题B)；B.别人家都许诺节约用水了(类似本题D)。

这样就很明显了。反而 B.别人家都许诺节约用水了(类似本题D) 有点weaknen的作用呢。别人家都节约了，俺还要节约干吗？

回到原题，D) Other countries have agreed to hold their resource consumption at present levels--也有weaken的作用，别的国家都保持现状了，干吗US还一点要保持－－稍微多用一点好像都可以。这个，至少是个无关选项。

引申一下，D如果改成：Other contries do not agree to hold their resource consumption. 反而有strengthen的意义了。

因为：目的是要correct the current status that The earth’s resources are being depleted much too fast, 而别的国家不会保持现状，只有US保持，才可能达到目的。

哇～这么解释真是精彩啊！！！佩服～

感谢先，明白了

tuzq解释得很精彩！

我发表下愚见：

1.这题关键是要找准加强的是结论，The earth’s resources are being depleted much too fast只是一个fact。而结论是the United States must keep its resource consumption at present levels for many years to come。

2.同时从13T也可以推测出来，

The earth’s resources are being depleted much too fast. To correct this, the United States must keep its resource consumption at present levels for many years to come.

13.   The argument above depends on which of the following assumptions?

(E) Curbing U.S. resource consumption will significantly retard world resource depletion.

前一句话说的是earth’s resources ，而后一句话缩小范围变成US，所以两者间要架桥。原文说“为了改善资源枯竭，US要保持现在的消耗水平”，E说“控制US的消耗将大大减缓资源枯竭”，即“为了改善资源枯竭，US要保持现在的消耗水平，因为控制US的消耗将大大减缓资源枯竭”。可见要加强的一直是说US耗能大，这样控制US的消耗才能大大减缓资源枯竭。

D别的国家与US无关。

关键还是找准结论，加强和削弱都是针对结论来的。

多看几次T目后又觉得E有点象事实加强型，晕晕的~~请哪位帮忙解答一下？

事实加强要求选项具有很高的具体性，比如说意见历史上的事等等。

我的理解。

我觉得E还是一个观点；不能叫事实。

the United States must keep its resource consumption at present levels for many years to come

划线部分是什么意思？我一开始理解为“美国要继续在这个水平上保持消耗资源”，即美国已经够节约的了。

请问at present levels和for many years to come，是怎么解释的？谢谢！
