求助狒狒上的22题

22. In 1992, a major newspaper circulated throughout North American paid its reporters an average salary paid by its principle competitors to their reporters. An executive of the newspaper argued that this practice was justified, since any shortfall that might exist in the reporters’ salaries is fully compensated by the valuable training they receive through their assignments.

Which one of the following, if true about the newspaper in 1992, most seriously undermines the justification offered by the executive?

A.   Senior reporters at the newspaper earned as much as reporters of similar stature who worked for the newspaper’s principle competitors.
B.   Most of the newspaper’s reporters had worked there for more than ten years.
C.   The circulation of the newspaper had recently reached a plateau, after it had increased steadily throughout the 1980s.
D.   The union that represented reporters at the newspaper was different from the union that represented reporters at the newspaper’s competitors.
E.   The newspaper was widely read throughout continental Europe and Great Britain as well as North America.
这题题目是什么意思。答案也不知道要选什么。

你这道题是不是打错了，应该是paid its reporters an average salary lower than that paid by its principal,这样应该就理解了吧，
这家报社付的薪水比竞争报社的少，还说是合理的，因为虽然钱少了点，(shortfall that might exist in the reporters's salaries), 但是因为给他们提供了valuable training through assignments所以他们也得到补偿了。问的是削弱

B选项说该报社的reporters大多数都是老员工了，那也就是说不需要training了，也就是说他们拿着底薪却没有得到任何补偿。

A无关，讨论的是average salary，不是senior reporter
C无关，没有起到削弱作用
D无关，提出了union这个新的概念
E无关
做这种题的时候，我的经验是紧紧的扣住原文的结论，借用一位NN的原话，每段结论都有特殊性，答案一定是和那个特殊性有关的，无关的选项是很容易看出来的。
希望能帮到你

谢谢这位同学，但是我还有个疑问，当问题中没有结论是怎么办？
像og的75题。

你说的是OG12的75题吗？你要是能把题目贴上来会方便一点

An overly centralized economy, not the changes in the climate, is responsible for the poor agricultural
production in Country X since its new government came to power. Neighboring Country Y has experienced the
same climatic conditions, but while agricultural production has been falling in Country X, it has been rising in
Country Y.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument above?
(A)   Industrial production also is declining in Country X.
(B)   Whereas Country Y is landlocked, Country X has a major seaport.
(C)   Both Country X and Country Y have been experiencing drought conditions.
(D)   The crops that have always been grown in Country X are different from those that have always been grown
in Country Y.
(E)   Country X's new government instituted a centralized economy with the intention of ensuring an equitable
distribution of goods.
这题从哪里入手？

首先理解题目的意思
题目说Country X的poor agricultural production不是由于changes in the climate，而是由于An overly centralized economy。
接着题目以邻国为例，说Country Y的climatic conditi和X是一样的，但是agricultural production 却在rising。题目由此得出结论X国的低产量不是因为气候问题，而是因为经济体制。

回答问题的时候要紧紧扣住结论，从反对结论入手，在这道题目文章说不是因为气候问题，那我只要反过来说是因为气候问题，那么自然就起到了削弱的作用。

首先A选项，industrial production与原文结论无关，直接淘汰
B，说的是地理位置，但既然题目说了是same climatic conditions，所以这也是无关的
C，只是重复了一遍文中的前提，等于还是same climatic conditions，这应该算是加强了，所以也错
D说两国的crops是不一样的，这就有意思了，因为有可能X国的crops对现在的气候反应很强烈，所以产量低，而Y国的crops就很适应现在的气候，所以产量高，看到这里如果还不确定，可以先看一下E选项。
E，无关，解释centralized economy的intention和结论没有关系

综上所述，D是答案

For 75, the author's argument hinges on the assumption that everything else is the same between countries X an Y except the type of economy.

D says that at least the crops they grow are different.

谢谢。我看明白了

In the years since the city of London imposed strict air-pollution regulations on local industry, the number of bird species seen in and around London has increased dramatically. Similar air-pollution rules should be imposed in other major cities.
Each of the following is an assumption made in the argument above EXCEPT:
(A) In most major cities, air-pollution problems are caused almost entirely by local industry.
(B) Air-pollution regulations on industry have a significant impact on the quality of the air.
(C) The air-pollution problems of other major cities are basically similar to those once suffered by London.
(D) An increase in the number of bird species in and around a city is desirable.
(E) The increased sightings of bird species in and around London reflect an actual increase in the number of species in the area.
这题怎么会选a呢？我觉得应该是e

E is definitely an assumption. Otherwise, one of the premise is wrong.

A, on the other hand is, not necessary. There are many causes of air polution: exhaust gas from cars, local industry, weather patterns, etc. In the case of argument, whether the air pollution is caused entirely by the local industry or not, the author still thinks more strict regulations would help.
