1. Child's World, a chain of toy stores, has relied on a "supermarket concept" of computerized inventory control and customer self-service to eliminate the category of sales clerks from its force of employees. It now plans to employ the same concept in selling children's clothes.
The plan of Child's World assumes that
(A) supermarkets will not also be selling children's clothes in the same manner
(B) personal service by sales personnel is not required for selling children's clothes successfully
(C) the same kind of computers will be used in inventory control for both clothes and toys at Child's World
(D) a self-service plan cannot be employed without computerized inventory control
(E) sales clerks are the only employees of Child's World who could be assigned tasks related to inventory control
答案是B，为什么不是C?

. Which of the following best completes the passage below?
Sales campaigns aimed at the faltering personal computer market have strongly emphasized ease of use, called user-friendliness. This emphasis is oddly premature and irrelevant in the eyes of most potential buyers, who are trying to address the logically prior issue of whether----
(A) user-friendliness also implies that owners can service their own computers
(B) personal computers cost more the more user-friendly they are
(C) currently available models are user-friendly enough to suit them
(D) the people promoting personal computers use them in their own homes
(E) they have enough sensible uses for a personal computer to justify the expense of buying one
答案是E，让我百思不得其解

本人逻辑实在很差，不要笑话我提这么白痴的问题。

以下是引用carolwww在2003-7-6 11:05:00的发言：

本人逻辑实在很差，不要笑话我提这么白痴的问题。

怎么会呢？其实学习都有这样一个过程！
1、因为题目问的是assumption即必要条件，也就是说没有的话就不能推出结论；
b是典型not+weaken的assumption：如果selling children's clothes requires personal service的话，就weaken了结论；
而c说的是将会装the same kind of computer,这只是一种推测，而不是结论成立的必要条件，所以可以说是个无关选项；

2、这中句子完成题应该从前文推导出要填的部分，主要看他们之间的逻辑关系；

文章首先提出 emphasis of easy use of computer, 然后说most potential buyers不接受，最后说他们很logically,而不是....；
所以这里要填的内容应该是logically取非，也就是easy use of compute，答案只不过是repeat the meaning in a different form!

Hope it will be heilpful!

谢谢 tocean0222 ：

第一道题看了解释后恍然大悟，解释的真是nice

但第二道题还是有些似懂非懂，能否再详细一些呢？

补充一点：

第一题是类比，child's world, a chain of toy stores和 children's clothes ，所以此题的假设是eliminate the category of sales clerks from its force of employees，而B用的是NOT+WEAKEN的方式来表达。

我试试，

(潜在的顾客)要先合理地考虑到。。。。。

tocean0222 · 发表于 2003-7-6 20:20:00

我把全文翻译下号了：
“针对低迷的个人电脑市场的促销活动更加强调使用的舒适性，也被叫做对用户的友好性。但在大多数潜在顾客看来，这种强调显得很不成熟和无关紧要，因为他们正试图提出在逻辑上优先的一个问题：足够地合理使用电脑能否弥补他们购买电脑的费用？“

文章开头提出emphasis ease of use,但顾客并不这样认为，所以后面要填的肯定顾客别的考虑。a、b、c都跟user-friendliness有关，所以错；而d文章没有提过，所以无关；只有e提到顾客有关电脑性价比得考虑，所以才是答案！

good luck!

第2题是说potential buyers认为谈user-friendliness有点过早了，而且根本与他们买不买的电脑无关。他们首先要考虑的逻辑前提是他们是否有明智的用途去花钱买电脑。
换句话说，电脑公司认为跟potential buyers强调产品的user-friendliness可以促使他们买电脑，但是他们忽略了potential buyers首先要考虑买电脑有没有用（是否有必要买），之后才可能涉及到user-friendliness的问题。
