Questions 9-10

Myrna: People should follow diets in which fat represents no more than 30 percent of total calories, not the 37 percent the average diet in this country contains.

Roland: If everyone in the country followed you recommendation during his or her entire life, just 0.2 percent would lengthen their live at all, and then only by an average of 3 months. Modifying our diet is not worthwhile. A lifetime of sacrifice spent eating an unappealing low-fat diet is too high a price to pay for the chance of extending that sacrifice for 3 months.

Myrna: But for everyone who dies early from a high-fat diet, many more people suffer from serious chronic diseases because they followed such diets.

10.   Roland’s argument assumes that

(A) it is desirable to live in such a way as to length life as much as possible

(B) a low-fat diet cannot readily be made appealing and satisfying to a person who follows it regularly

(C) diet is the only relevant factor to consider in computing influences on length of life

(D) the difference in tastiness between a diet in which fat represents 30 percent of total calories and one in which it represents 37 percent is not noticeable（B）

(E) not everyone in the country eats the average diet

这道题我根据9题选了C，错误的原因是否是没说其他的FACTOR并不代表diet is the only relevant factor to consider in computing influences on length of life

14.   A careful review of hospital fatalities due to anesthesia during the last 20 years indicates that the most significant safety improvements resulted from better training of anesthetists. Equipment that monitors a patient’s oxygen and carbon dioxide levels was not available in most operating rooms during the period under review. Therefore, the increased use of such monitoring equipment in operating rooms will not significantly cut fatalities due to anesthesia.

A flaw in the argument is that

(A) the evidence cited to show that one factor led to a certain result is not sufficient to show that a second factor will not also lead to that result

(B) the reasons given in support of the conclusion presuppose the truth of that conclusion

(C) the evidence cited to show that a certain factor was absent when a certain result occurred does not show that the absence of that factor caused that result

(D) the evidence cited in support of the conclusion is inconsistent with other information that is provided（A）

(E) the reason indicated for the claim that one event caused a second more strongly supports the claim that both events were independent effects of a third event

我选成C，错误原因是否是因为CAUSED 是否该为  NOT CAUSED

Questions 16-17

G: The group of works exhibited in this year’s Metropolitan Art Show reveals a bias in favor of photographers. Equal numbers of photographers, sculptors, and painters submitted works that met the traditional criteria for the show, yet more photographs were exhibited than either sculptures or paintings. As you know, each artist was allowed to submit work in one medium only.

H: How could there have been bias? All submitted works that met the traditional criteria—and only those works—were exhibited in the show.

17.   Which one of the following, if true, most strongly supports G’s allegation of bias?

(A) If an artist has had one of his or her works exhibited in the Metropolitan Art Show, that artist has an advantage in getting commissions and selling works over artists who have never had a work exhibited in the show.

(B) The fee for entering photographs in the Metropolitan Art Show was $25 per work submitted, while the fee for each painting or sculpture submitted was $75.

(C) The committee that selected from the submitted works the ones to be exhibited in this year’s Metropolitan Art Show had four members: one photographer, on sculptor, one painter, and one who works in all three media but is the least known of the four members.

(D) Reviews of this year’s Metropolitan Art Show that appeared in major newspapers and magazines tended to give more coverage to the photographs in the show than to the sculptures and paintings that were exhibited.（B）

(E) In previous years, it has often happened that more paintings or more sculptures were exhibited in the Metropolitan Art Show than photographs, even though the total number of works exhibited each year does not vary widely.

这道题我实在想不通为什么选B，麻烦大家指教，谢谢！！

10.C为无关项。因R在结论中直接说“UNAPPEALLING LOW-FAT DIET”，故必须假设LOW-FAT是UNAPPEALLING

14。对

17。MR SHOW的门票便宜，看的人多，而其他的门票贵，看的人少。当然有偏见。这是直接支持结论，不必管EVIDENCE，事实上，本题的EVIDENCE象是一个圈套

D中的photographs in the Metropolitan Art Show was $25 per work submitted, while the fee for each painting or sculpture submitted was $75不就是

Show reveals a bias in favor of photographers

呵呵，两人交的钱都不一样，这就是歧视！
