Q10:GWD32-Q7 Travel agents are market intermediaries who make their living by gathering, organizing, and dispensing information about travel-related services that is not readily available to most consumers through new information technologies, such as the internet much of this information can now be made directly available to consumers. Demand for the services of travel agents will be drastically reduced
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. Travel agents routinely use the internet and other new information technologies as sources for the information they obtain for their customers. B. The amount of information available through the internet and other new information technologies is increasing faster than the capabilities of most consumers to process it (信息数量的增长比人们获得信息的能力增长的要快,削弱了!) C. Many people use travel-related services, such as airlines and hotels without consulting a travel agent. D. The people who currently use the services of travel agents are also those most likely to gain access to new information technologies E.

Jane: Television programs and movies that depict violence among teenagers are extremely popular. Given how influential these media are, we have good reason to believe that these depictions cause young people to engage in violent behavior. Hence, depictions of violence among teenagers should be prohibited from movies and television programs, if only(只要) in those programs and movies promoted to young audiences. Maurice: But you are recommending nothing short of censorship! Besides which, your claim that television and movie depictions of violence cause violence is mistaken: violence among young people predates movies and television by centuries. Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens Jane’s argument?
A. The most violent characters depicted in movies and on television programs are adult characters which are portrayed by adult actors. B. The movies that have been shown to have the most influence on young people’s behavior are those that are promoted to young audiences. (这是针对原文中的if only in those programs and movies promoted to young audiences来说的,原文的意思是:只要对那些为青少年制作的电影中prohibited就行了。) 这种strengthen 的题是不是只要支持第一个观点就可以,也就是说可以忽略M的论点呢? C. The people who make the most profits in the movie and television industry are those who can successfully promote their work to both young and old audiences. D. Many adolescents who engage in violent behavior had already displayed such behavior before they were exposed violence in movies. E. Among the producers who make both movies and television programs, many voluntarily restrict the subject matter of films directed toward young audiences. |
