GWD的一道evaluate题，感觉是答案有问题，高人能不能帮忙验证一下(已解决)

Q9:

The population of desert tortoises in Targland’s Red
   Desert has declined, partly because they are captured for sale as pets and partly because people riding all-terrain vehicles have damaged their habitat.  Targland plans to halt this population decline by blocking the current access routes into the desert and announcing new regulations to allow access only on foot.  Targland’s officials predict that these measures will be adequate, since it is difficult to collect the tortoises without a vehicle.

Which of the following would it be most important to establish in order to evaluate the officials’ prediction?

A.        Whether possessing the tortoises as pets remains legally permissible in Targland

B.        Whether Targland is able to enforce the regulations with respect to all-terrain vehicle entry at points other than the current access routes

C.        Whether the Red
   Desert tortoises are most active during the day or at night

D.       Whether people who travel on foot in the Red
   Desert often encounter the tortoises

E.        Whether the Targland authorities held public hearings before restricting entry by vehicle into the Red
   Desert

题目要求是evaluate officials' prediction:  these measures will be adequate, since it is difficult to collect the tortoises without a vehicle.

答案是B，但我认为D更合适

因为目的就是不能轻易collect the tortoises

D YES ： officials' prediction 就不能实现，因为即使不开车也可以collect the tortoises

    NO： officials' prediction 就可能实现

哪位高人可以帮我看看，原答案的合理处在哪？ 谢谢！

声明一下我很烂  不是高手。。。一下是我个人意见

D   不管encounter还是不能encounter都不能collect。。。跟据“since it is difficult to collect the tortoises without a vehicle”   所以encounter或不encounter是没有影响的。

B   如果那些vehicle 可以从其他途径进入  他们就可以collect 那个龟龟了

我也请教你一题狒狒逻辑上的。。。Test 2

22. In 1992, a major newspaper circulated throughout North American paid its reporters an average salary paid by its principle competitors to their reporters. An executive of the newspaper argued that this practice was justified, since any shortfall that might exist in the reporters’ salaries is fully compensated by the valuable training they receive through their assignments.

Which one of the following, if true about the newspaper in 1992, most seriously undermines the justification offered by the executive?

(A) Senior reporters at the newspaper earned as much as reporters of similar stature who worked for the newspaper’s principle competitors.

(B) Most of the newspaper’s reporters had worked there for more than ten years.

(C) The circulation of the newspaper had recently reached a plateau, after it had increased steadily throughout the 1980s.

(D) The union that represented reporters at the newspaper was different from the union that represented reporters at the newspaper’s competitors.

(E) The newspaper was widely read throughout continental Europe and Great Britain as well as North America.

答案给B

针对问题找答案：

Weaken 的方向是 executive 所说的那堆话：

Which one of the following, if true about the newspaper in 1992, most seriously undermines the justification offered by the executive?

回到原文去找他说了什么

那个executive说的是this practice（paid its reporters an average salary paid by its principle competitors to their reporters） was justified，since any shortfall...is fully compensated by the valuable training

如何去weaken ? 直接否认executive's 论据，什么样的人需要training? 没有相关经验的。什么样的training最有价值?与工作相关的，可提高工作能力的。

如果员工都是熟练工种了，什么样有价值的training对于他们都不能弥补工资的差额

所以B是weaken

我重新看了一下我贴的那题，忽略了 blocking the current access routes into the desert 中的current是我自己的问题，谢谢 你的提示！

我的想法是...

A. Senior reporters at the newspaper earned as much as reporters of similar stature who worked for the newspaper’s principle competitors.
  

首先，这个选项与题目所给的信息相似的a major newspaper ... paid its reporters an average salary paid by its principle competitors (if 题目中an average > A中所说Senior reporter挣的，则这家公司实行的工资政策很不错了，也用不着后面那个executive一串废话 . if 题目中an average < A中所说Senior reporter挣的, 可以说明实际挣的也不差到哪去，与executive那段话也没什么关系)

另外，你要看问题在问什么，我觉得这个是关键，人家就是让你找一个来weaken executive说的那些话，那么他那段话的重点就是表明，虽然reporter的薪水不多，但是我们提供了很多有价值的training...,weaken他只能说所提供的价值不足以填补薪水不高这件事。
