人口避稅那題 Historian: In the Drindian Empire, censuses were conducted annually to determine the population of each village. Village census records for the last half of the 1600’s are remarkably complete.(context) This very completeness makes one point stand out; in five different years, villages overwhelmingly reported significant population declines. Tellingly, each of those five years immediately followed an increase in a certain Drindian tax. This tax, which was assessed on villages, was computed by the central government using the annual census figures. Obviously, whenever the tax went up, villages had an especially powerful economic incentive to minimize the number of people they recorded; and concealing the size of a village’s population from government census takers would have been easy. Therefore, it is reasonable to think that the reported declines did not happen.
In the historian’s argument, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
- The first supplies a context for the historian’s argument; the second acknowledges a consideration that has been used to argue against the position the historian seeks to establish.
- The first presents evidence to support the position that the historian seeks to establish; the second acknowledges a consideration that has been used to argue against that position.
- The first provides a context for certain evidence that supports the position that the historian seeks to establish; the second is that position.
- The first is a position for which the historian argues; the second is an assumption that serves as the basis of that argument.
- The first is an assumption that the historian explicitly makes in arguing for a certain position; the second acknowledges a consideration that calls that assumption into question.

Though sucking zinc lozenges has been promoted as a treatment for the common cold, research has revealed no consistent effect. Recently, however, a zinc gel applied nasally has been shown to greatly reduce the duration of colds. Since the gel contains zinc in the same form and concentration as the lozenges, the greater effectiveness of the gel must be due to the fact that cold viruses tend to concentrate in the nose, not the mouth.
In order to evaluate the argument, it would be most helpful to determine which of the following?
A. Whether zinc is effective only against colds, or also has an effect on other virally caused diseases B. Whether there are remedies that do not contain zinc but that, when taken orally, can reduce the duration of colds C. Whether people who frequently catch colds have a zinc deficiency D. Whether either the zinc gel or the lozenges contain ingredients that have an impact on the activity of the zinc E. Whether the zinc gel has an effect on the severity of cold symptoms, as well as on their duration Weaken: the zinc gel or the lozenges contain ingredients that have an impact on the activity of the zinc ◎有一道問assumption說銀和銅被用於以前鑄幣,後來人們用的銀少了,但政府卻在表面塗滿銀以魚目混珠.我選挖掘出來的幣不會因為年代久遠而減少表面的銀.(判斷問的是假設題)
◎有一題是gwd的,說一個company 的很多head 要退休了,會怎麼樣之類的,應該能夠找到~ V公司的挺多部門的HEAD要退休了,但有資格升任部門HEAD的人大約占空缺的一半左右。因為V公司既不會從外部聘請請的部門HEAD,也不會讓同一人擔任好幾個部門的HEAD,這樣看來,V公司有部分部門HEAD一職將會空缺無人,SINCE(填空)。 我選了“V公司不會委派資深人士(即比部門HEAD的官還要大的人)來當部門HEAD” A significant number of Qualitex Corporation’s department heads are due to retire this year. The number of employees other than current department heads who could take on the position of department head is equal to only about half of the expected vacancies. Oualitex is not going to hire department heads from outside the company or have current department heads take over more than one department, so some departments will be without department heads next year (改成since) Qualitex ______.

- reduces the average number of employees per department
- reduces the number of its departments 原本答案
Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
A significant number of Qualitex Corporation’s department heads are due to retire this year. The number of employees other than current department heads who could take on the position of department head is equal to only about half of the expected vacancies. Oualitex is not going to hire department heads from outside the company(假設一) or have current department heads take over more than one department(假設二), so some departments will be without department heads next year unless Qualitex ______.
- promotes some current department heads to higher-level managerial positions
- raises the salary for department heads
- reduces the number of new employees it hires next year
- reduces the average number of employees per department
reduces the number of its departments(假設三) |
