1.The proposal to extend clinical trials, which are routinely used as systematic tests of pharmaceutical innovations, to new surgical procedures should not be implemented. The point is that surgical procedures differ in one important respect from medicinal drugs: a correctly prescribed drug depends for its effectiveness only on the drugâ?#8482;s composition, whereas the effectiveness of even the most appropriate surgical procedure is transparently related to the skills of the surgeon who uses it. The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument (A) does not consider that new surgical procedures might be found to be intrinsically more harmful than the best treatment previously available (B) ignores the possibility that the challenged proposal is deliberately crude in a way designed to elicit criticism to be used in refining the proposal (C) assumes that a surgeonâ?#8482;s skills remain unchanged throughout the surgeonâ?#8482;s professional life (D) describes a dissimilarity without citing any scientific evidence for the existence of that dissimilarity (E) rejects a proposal presumably advanced in good faith without acknowledging any such good faith
2.In a survey of consumers in an Eastern European nation, respondents were asked two questions about each of 400 famous Western brands: whether or not they recognized the brand name and whether or not they thought the products bearing that name were of high quality. The results of the survey were a rating and corresponding rank order for each brand based on recognition, and a second rating-plus-ranking based on approval. The brands ranked in the top 27 for recognition were those actually available in that nation. The approval rankings of these 27 brands often differed sharply from their recognition rankings. By contrast, most of the other brands had ratings, and thus rankings, that were essentially the same for recognition as for approval Which one of the following, if each is a principle about consumer surveys, is violated by the survey described?
(A) Never ask all respondents a question if it cannot reasonably be answered by respondents who make a particular response to another question in the same survey (B) Never ask a question that is likely to generate a large variety of responses that are difficult to group into a manageable number of categories (C) Never ask all respondents a question that respondents cannot answer without giving up their anonymity (D) It is better to ask the same question about ten different products than to ask ten different questions about a single product (E) It is best to ask questions that a respondent can answer without fear of having gotten the answer wrong
两个正确选项都是A。
没太看懂,请各位解释翻译一下,谢谢。 20. Legal rules are expressed in general terms. The concern classification of persons and actions and they prescribe legal consequences for persons and actions falling into the relevant categories. The application of a rule to a particular case, therefore, involves a decision on whether the facts of that case fall within the categories mentioned in the rule. This decision establishes the legal effect of what happened rather than any matter of fact.
The passage provides the most support for which one of the following?
(A) Legal rules, like matters of fact, are concerned with classifications of things such as actions.
(B) Matters of fact, like legal rules, can sometimes be expressed in general terms.
(C) Making a legal decision does not involve matters of fact.
(D) The application of a rule to a particular case need not be left to a judge.
(E) Whether the facts of a case fall into a relevant category is not itself a matter of fact.
本题选E。不太明白……
