GWD-21-30 求教+讨论

In the past, most children who went sledding in the winter snow in Verland used wooden sleds with runners and steering bars. Ten years ago, smooth plastic sleds became popular; they go faster than wooden sleds but are harder to steer and slow. The concern that plastic sleds are more dangerous is clearly borne out by the fact that the number of children injured while sledding was much higher last winter than it was ten years ago.

Which of the following, if true in Verland, most seriously undermines the force of the evidence cited?

A.   A few children still use traditional wooden sleds.

B.    Very few children wear any kind of protective gear, such as helmets, while sledding.

C.   lastic sleds can be used in a much wider variety of snow conditions than wooden sleds can.

D.   Most sledding injuries occur when a sled collides with a tree, a rock, or another sled.

E.    Because the traditional wooden sled can carry more than one rider, an accident involving a wooden sled can result in several children being injured.

我选E，对不对？

I think the answer is (B).

The fact:

1. Plastic sled became popular

2. the number of children injured was higher while sledding

In order to undermine the author's claim, we need to disconnect the relations of plastic sled and injury. And (B) provides an alternative explanation.

I feel D is more appropriate,since it states most incidents occured with another sleds. Therefore, the cause of sledding incidents can not largely attibute to plastic sleds.

今天看了看，因该是C。

题目说塑料受伤的人数比木头的多，所以塑料的比木头的危险。

答案E只说木头的座的人多，但是没说塑料的人怎么样，所以到底谁发生事故多还是无法得知。

C说塑料的比木头的用的场合多，所以削弱了原文。

昨天做了kaplan，结果大受打击，只得了600分，题目又长又臭，感觉比GWD的模拟卷难很多。。。。。

I agree with u the right answer is C

C.   lastic sleds can be used in a much wider variety of snow conditions than wooden sleds can.

It doesn't mean "塑料的比木头的用的场合多". It means under various snow conditions (big or small snow), plastic sleds can be used. So this answer definitely strengthen the author's argument!

支持C .

文中说，plastic shed became popular, but did not say plastic shed made shedding, as a sport, more popular. 所以，very few children wear pretective gear 是一个状况，10年来没有变，至少文中选项中没有指示。

而，C implies the plastic shed can be used in wider condition, indicating plastic shed is used more often than wooden shed，提供了比较多injuries 另一个解释， undermining the force of the evidence.

To be discussed.

可是关于c，不能说plastic的应用更广就说它和木头的一样安全啊。有点奇怪

唉，要是b再加个时间状语就好了
