Editor:Articles in Gardening Magazine often spur sales of the plants they describe, particularly among people new to gardening.Accordingly, we will no longer publish articles or accept advertisements praising the beauty of rare wildflowers.Most such plants sold to gardeners have been difficult to propagate under cultivation, so plant sellers often collect them in the wild.Our new policy is part of our efforts to halt this yearly plundering of our native plant populations.

Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the wisdom of the magazine's new policy as a way of pursuing the intended effect?

A. When people new to gardening buy plants, they often fail to take adequate care of the plants that they buy and become discouraged from buying those varieties again.

B. Plant sellers who sell rare wildflowers have no reasonably inexpensive alternative way to offer their wares directly to new gardeners.

C. The demand for rare wildflowers rarely exceeds the number of such plants that can be collected in the wild by plant sellers.

D. The propagation of rare wildflowers often depends on the plants' interaction with other organisms in their environment, such as plants that create suitable soil conditions or insects and birds that disperse seeds.

E. Revenues from sales of plants collected in the wild are supporting the discovery of new low-cost techniques enabling rare wildflowers to be readily propagated in nurseries. (E)

不太明白蓝色那句话，谁可以帮我解释一下因果关系~

Editor:Articles in Gardening Magazine often spur sales of the plants they describe,
Gardening Magazine的Articles经常激励着他们所描述的植物的销量
particularly among people new to gardening.
特别是在这些刚开始做园艺的人们
Accordingly,we will no longer publish articles or accept advertisements praising the beauty of rare wildflowers.
所以，我们不应该再发布articles或者接受这些赞扬稀有野花美丽的advertisements
Most such plants sold to gardeners have been difficult to propagate under cultivation,
大部分这些销售给园艺爱好者的植物很难在培养下繁衍
so plant sellers often collect them in the wild.
所以植物销售商经常在野外收集收集它们
Our new policy is part of our efforts to halt this yearly plundering of our native plant populations.
我们的新政策是我们的努力停止对我们每一年的本地植物掠夺的一部分

大概的意思是不是这样的，就是说吧，为了扩大销量就去在野外收集植物，所以我们的新政策就是要抑制这种行为，保护本地野外的植物

我也不是很清楚，再看看其他同学的吧~~

恩主要意思能明白，就是蓝色标注的那一句话我不太理解。大概因为是逻辑题吧，题目中的话有些不那么合逻辑..呵呵
因为顾客买的野花不好养，所以花商经常去野外搜集野花...什么意思？野外的就好养么？.... 这是什么因果逻辑....不过看全文意思，他是想说因为不好养，所以呢花商要经常去采花补足货源。省略了中间结论，即因为也花不好养，所以当顾客的花死掉了他们还会去购买新的... 但这不一定成立吧...写argue和做逻辑果然会造成精神错乱。。。

试着解释一下：
题型：因果型weaken类题目

Articles in Gardening Magazine often spur sales of the plants they describe, particularly among people new to gardening. （前提） Accordingly, we will no longer publish articles or accept advertisements praising the beauty of rare wildflowers. （中间结论）Most such plants sold to gardeners have been difficult to propagate under cultivation, so plant sellers often collect them in the wild. （前提） Our new policy is part of our efforts to halt this yearly plundering of our native plant populations.（结论）

结论：不发表文章或是接受广告（new policy）可以导致“阻止对本土植物的破坏的结果”。

再看选项：
A. When people new to gardening buy plants, they often fail to take adequate care of the plants that they buy and become discouraged from buying those varieties again.无关
B. Plant sellers who sell rare wildflowers have no reasonably inexpensive alternative way to offer their wares directly to new gardeners.加强，别无选择，所以肯定会破环野花（wares复数，是商品货物的意思）
C. The demand for rare wildflowers rarely exceeds the number of such plants that can be collected in the wild by plant sellers.无关
D. The propagation of rare wildflowers often depends on the plants' interaction with other organisms in their environment, such as plants that create suitable soil conditions or insects and birds that disperse seeds.无关嘛
E. Revenues from sales of plants collected in the wild are supporting the discovery of new low-cost techniques enabling rare wildflowers to be readily propagated in nurseries.
E说从采集野花的收入可以支持新的低成本技术，这种新技术可以使野花很好的培育。

采集野花也就是说可以写article和广告啦，也可以达到保护的目的。典型的无因有果削弱。

推荐一题，跟这题解题思路一致。

Kernland imposes a high tariff on the export of unprocessed cashew nuts in order to ensure that the nuts are sold to domestic processing plants.If the tariff were lifted and unprocessed cashews were sold at world market prices, more farmers could profit by growing cashews.However, since all the processing plants are in urban areas, removing the tariff would seriously hamper the government’s effort to reduce urban unemployment over the next five years.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

1. Some of the by-products of processing cashews are used for manufacturing paints and plastics.
2. Other countries in which cashews are processed subsidize their processing plants.
3. More people in Kernland are engaged in farming cashews than in processing them.
4. Buying unprocessed cashews at lower than world market prices enables cashew processors in Kernland to sell processed nuts at competitive prices.
5. A lack of profitable crops is driving an increasing number of small farmers in Kernland off their land and into the cities.

答案：E

想请问一下为啥A选项是无关呢？如果看杂志的人不再买了，也可以使得野生植物受到保护呀~~~

此题是计划目的型削弱题。
计划：we will no longer publish articles or accept advertisements praising the beauty of rare wildflowers.
目的： to halt this yearly plundering of our native plant populations.
此类题目的做法是1.否定计划自身的可能性。
or 2.削弱计划实施后能够达成目标。要求选项和plan要高度相关。
A选项显然不符合上述任意一个，所以无关。

太绕了……有点不理解啊

没有articles 和接受advertise 这个因，也可以导致“阻止对本土植物破坏的结果”，
并不能说明

这两题我都做过都做错了。。。。
第一个我觉得B不是加强。。因为我一直想不明白。。那他们既然别无选择了。就算杂志怎么改seller还是要通过这个渠道来弄到花来卖啊。。所以杂志的措施是没有意义的啊。。这不就weaken了吗。。。。
E我也觉得说得通。。的确和下一题的思路一直。。。

下一题我做的是变形。里面有个选项说缺乏政策引导他们所以他们无法跟world wide的competitor竞争。。我觉得也蛮有道理的啊。。。无法竞争就倒闭然后就裁员失业了呗...

我已经无法跟CR做好朋友了。。。。

谢谢Alva624！很可惜当时没有等到回复，就已经去考试了。考的分是够了，就是不太理想。
两年之后准备重拾梦想，希望这一次能做得更好。你的回复让我觉得很温暖~
