可能是我功力不够,我几乎每题都错,主要都是迷惑项错
我做了以后最大的感觉不是看不懂题,看不懂选项,而是对于这些选项细微的部分不理解,而且题目的解释其实很粗旷,并没有直击重点
想提几个问题,大家帮我看看
1. Fact and Evidence
很多题都是在这两个词上纠结不清.
evidence有多时候和事实很像(不过也是,一般evidence都是真的),比如:
3. The interstitial nucleus, a sub-region of the brain’s hypothalamus, is typically smaller for male cats than for female cats. A neurobiologist performed autopsies on male cats who died from disease X, a disease affecting no more than 0.5 percent of male cats, and found that these male cats had interstitial nuclei that were as large as those generally found in female cats. Thus, the size of the interstitial nucleus determines whether or not male cats can contract disease X, but, the hypothalamus is known not to be causally linked to disease Y, and disease X is a subtype of disease Y.
第一部分黑体字,答案说是evidence,确实没问题;那么我能不能说是Fact?因为found出来的,难道就不是事实了?
2. premise
什么是前提?或者说,前提是否必须是以if A, then B这种形式提出来的?
举个例子:
Fact A, Fact B => Conclusion C
我能不能认为AB都是前提?
6. Plants that exhibit certain leaf diseases tend to measure extremely high in the amount of zinc in their leaf and stem tissue. Botanists have discovered that phosphorus of the type typically used in a phosphorus-high fertilizer reacts with the zinc in such a way as to prevent treated plants from exhibiting the leaf diseases, and zinc is the cause and not merely an effect of the leaf diseases. Thus, plants can be cured from these leaf diseases by the use of a fertilizer high in phosphorus.
第一部分黑体答案中说是background,我理解成Fact(应该差不多吧?);那么为什么不能理解成是第二部分黑体字的前提呢?毕竟如果第一部分黑体的内容是错误的,第二部分就不能成立啊.
3. Sub-Conclusion and consideration
这个相对好判断,一般句末大多是conclusion.我只是想知道什么情况下是consideration而不能说是sub-conclusion?
