请教PREP 2-58/60

请教PREP 破解版2里的两道逻辑题目:

58.   (33711-!-item-!-188;#058&007588)

 

The proposal to hire ten new police officers in Middletown is quite foolish.  There is sufficient funding to pay the salaries of the new officers, but not the salaries of additional court and prison employees to process the increased caseload of arrests and convictions that new officers usually generate.

 

Which of the following, if true, will most seriously weaken the conclusion drawn above?

 

(A) Studies have shown that an increase in a city's police force does not necessarily reduce crime.

(B) When one major city increased its police force by 19 percent last year, there were 40 percent more arrests and 13 percent more convictions.

(C) If funding for the new police officers' salaries is approved, support for other city services will have to be reduced during the next fiscal year.

(D) In most United States cities, not all arrests result in convictions, and not all convictions result in prison terms.

(E)
                Middletown's ratio of police officers to citizens has reached a level at which an increase in the number of officers will have a deterrent effect on crime.

 

答案是E. 为什么啊!

60.   (33807-!-item-!-188;#058&007599)

 

Large national budget deficits do not cause large trade deficits.  If they did, countries with the largest budget deficits would also have the largest trade deficits.  In fact, when deficit figures are adjusted so that different countries are reliably comparable to each other, there is no such correlation.

 

If the statements above are all true, which of the following can properly be inferred on the basis of them?

 

(A) Countries with large national budget deficits tend to restrict foreign trade.

(B) Reliable comparisons of the deficit figures of one country with those of another are impossible.

(C) Reducing a country's national budget deficit will not necessarily result in a lowering of any trade deficit that country may have.

(D) When countries are ordered from largest to smallest in terms of population, the smallest countries generally have the smallest budget and trade deficits.

(E) Countries with the largest trade deficits never have similarly large national budget deficits.

答案是C. 

还请各位高人指点一下! 谢谢!

58: E: weakens the conclusion by arguing that adding more officers would reduce the crime rate so that the increasing in court and prison employees is not necessary.

60: C: The conclusion states explicitly that there is no such correlation, correlation between X (budget deficit) and Y (trade deficit). C states that reducing X will not NECESSARILY lowing Y. It can still happen, but not necessarily so.

但是58题的D为什么不对?

增加警官不会增加法官和狱警。
因为原文:增加警官会增加逮捕和定罪
 D:不是所有的逮捕都会被定罪,不是所有的定罪都会导致监狱服刑。
所以weaken吗?

不是所有的convictions都是由于arrests导致的,不是所有的prison terms都是由convictions导致的,所以convictionsprison terms 还是可能会增加的,所以不能weaken

58题D好像在哪都是一样的吧,对于是不是增加警察没有影响;其次,这里主要的削弱是对于增量的削弱,警察的增加会否带来相关法律体系人数的增加,关键点是INCREASE

Middletown's ratio of police officers to citizens has reached a level at which an increase in the number of officers will have a deterrent effect on crime.

This option implies there may be another cause that may reduce the funding allocated to the additional court and prison employees,which contradicts the author's view that the funding may not be enough to pay the salaries of those employees.
So ,the option weakens the conclusion above.

 2 .   The passage asserts that  a large budget deficit will not cause large trade deficit...We can conclude from this statement that a country with both large national budget deficit and large trade deficit will remain a large trade deficit while reducing the national deficit...C is right
    A   The passage does not mention how a country reacts to a large national deficit...wrong
   B The passage has mentioned that different countries are reliably comparable to each other....B is the opposite of the author's view,wrong
  D  The passage has not discussed the relationship between deficit scale and population ...wrong
  E  negate the option ,it becomes countries with the larget trade deficits sometimes have similar large national budget deficits,it does not contradicts the conclusion of the passage...E is wrong
