Q36: TTGWD4-Q7: Although the discount stores in Goreville’s central shopping district are expected to close within five years as a result of competition from a SpendLess discount department store that just opened, those locations will not stay vacant for long. In the five years since the opening of Colson’s, a nondiscount department store, a new store has opened at the location of every store in the shopping district that closed because it could not compete with Colson’s. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? A. Many customers of Colson’s are expected to do less shopping there than they did before the SpendLess store opened. B. Increasingly, the stores that have opened in the central shopping district since Colson’s opened have been discount stores. C. At present, the central shopping district has as many stores operating in it as it ever had. D. Over the course of the next five years, it is expected that Goreville’s population will grow at a faster rate than it has for the past several decades. E. Many stores in the central shopping district sell types of merchandise that are not available at either SpendLess or Colson’s. 答案是B GWD17-Q9: (CD-9 Q10)Press Secretary: Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties. They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts. But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors. So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics. Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends? A. Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties. B. The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party. C. The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future. D. The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties. E. Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects. 答案B 谢谢大家! |
