3. Approximately 5000 people who have been convicted of nonviolent crimes in the state have been given community-service sentences instead of prison sentences. These offenders perform services commensurate with their training and skills, from scrubbing floors to conducting research for the state. The community-service program, which began in 1979, has grown immensely as a result of drunken-driver legislation enacted a few months ago.

The introducion of the community-service program in 1979 was most probably prompted by which of the following, all of which occurred during the 1970's?

(A) a decrease in the number of violent crimes in the state

(D) The overcrowding of prisons in the state

(E) The passage of drunken-driver legislation in other states

drunken-driver legislation enacked a few months ago--> the community-service program has grown

推导方向是支持community program grew

the key is D. 难道说since the drunken-driver legislation enacted a few months ago, lots of drunken-drivers have been given prison sentences. Then the prison is over crowded. Some of them have been given community sentences instead.

D是用什么方法来做这个支持的? 是直接支持B吗? 谢谢!

5. Many geologists theorize that the trail of volcanic craters and cinder cones along the Snake River plain of southern Idaho was produced as the North American continent slid westward over a stationary "plume," a vertical channel through which molten rock rose intermittently from the Earth's core to burst through its crust.

Which of the following, if true, tends to support the geologists theory of how the trail was produced?

(A) The largest craters and cinder cones are on the eastern margin of the trail.

(B) The most violent volcanic activity apparently occurred at the western margin of the trail.

(C) The craters and cinder cones are evenly spaced throughout the entent of the trail.

(D) The newest craters and cinder cones are on the eastern margin of the trail.

(E) The craters and cinder cones on the western margin of the trail generally took longer to form than did those on the eastern margin.

11. Any lender about to make a loan wished to know the real rate of interest; i.e., the contractual rate of interest less the rate of inflation. But what rate of inflation to use, past or expected? Past inflation is the better choice, because we have specific firm figures for it so that the real rate of interest will also emerge as a specific figure.

Which of the following, if true, is the strongest point that an opponent of the position above might make in arguing that the rate of expected inflation is the proper figure to use?

(A) Since the contractual interest is future income to prospective lender, it is more appropriate to adjust that income in terms of inflation expected for the future.

15. The dramatic rise in the number of homeless people in the 1980's cannot be attributed to the discharge of mentally ill persons from hospitals into "community care." even though it is true that provisions for such community care are for the most part nonexistent.

Which of the following , if true, best supports the claim above?

(A) the policy of discharging mentally ill persons from hospitals was based on the supposition that their illnesses could be controlled by newly developed drugs.

(B) Without supervision in a hospital setting those people whose mental illness can be controlled by medication might not actually take prescribed medicaiton.

(D) The policy of discharging significant numbers of mentally ill persons from hospitals took effect in the 1960's.

The key for No. 15 is D.

discharge mentally ill persons from hospitals into community care以外的原因<--the number of homeless people rise

推导方向: 确实不是这个原因导致homeless人数增加.

承认D是对的, 但是B好象也对的啊.

以下是引用dabendan12在2004-2-20 10:54:00的发言：

(E) The passage of drunken-driver legislation in other states

问题是指The introducion of the community-service program in 1979 是由什么导致，我觉得文章最后那一句话是举了个例子，想说明有些罪是可以从轻处理的，再从一开始的5000人，说明很多人犯罪，假设D还存在，那就是两个有说服力的条件，导致那个program 的提出，所以D是比较合适的选项

我也说不出是什么方法，只是觉得，现在的逻辑的问法都有的奇怪，这题应该是反对的感觉，所以只要给出一个有利于 the rate of expected inflation is the proper figure to use的理由就好了，或者说如果这题的问题改成 weaken the conclusion of the passage 可能会好明白一些。是不是给出它因
