马上就要考试了，还有几道CR题不大懂。想和大家探讨一下

Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development. They plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it. That plan is ill-conceived: if the farmers did sell their land, they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other bidders. On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable. But farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires. And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be to the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.
In the reasoning above, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles?
A The first assesses the goal held by certain environmental organizations; the second presents the goal that the reasoning concludes should be adopted instead. 分析该选项
B The first assesses the goal held by certain environmental organizations; the second presents the strategy that the reasoning concludes has the best chance of reaching that goal. 分析该选项
C The first is the conclusion reached about one strategy for attaining a certain goal; the second presents the strategy that the reasoning advocates. 分析该选项
D The first is the main conclusion toward which the reasoning is directed; the second presents a strategy that is called sensible but for which no support is offered. 分析该选项
E The first is the main conclusion toward which the reasoning is directed; the second is a consideration raised in order to support that conclusion. 分析该选项
我的答案：D
正确答案：C

At present the Hollywood Restaurant has only standard-height tables. However, many customers come to watch the celebrities who frequent the Hollywood, and they would prefer tall tables with stools because such seating would afford a better view of the celebrities. Moreover, diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners seated at standard-height tables. Therefore, if the Hollywood replaced some of its seating with high tables and stools, its profits would increase.
The argument is vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it gives reason to believe that it is likely that
A some celebrities come to the Hollywood to be seen, and so might choose to sit at the tall tables if they were available 分析该选项
B the price of meals ordered by celebrities dining at the Hollywood compensates for the longer time, if any, they spend lingering over their meals 分析该选项
C a customer of the Hollywood who would choose to sit at a tall table would be an exception to the generalization about lingering 分析该选项
D a restaurant's customers who spend less time at their meals typically order less expensive meals than those who remain at their meals longer 分析该选项
E with enough tall tables to accommodate all the Hollywood's customers interested in such seating, there would be no view except of other tall tables 分析该选项
我的答案：C
正确答案：C

Consumer advocate: it is generally true, at least in this state, that lawyers who advertise a specific service charge less for that service than lawyers who do not advertise. It is also true that each time restrictions on the advertising of legal services have been eliminated, the number of lawyers advertising their services has increased and legal costs to consumers have declined in consequence. However, eliminating the state requirement that legal advertisements must specify fees for specific services would almost certainly increase rather than further reduce consumer's legal costs. Lawyers would no longer have an incentive to lower their fees when they begin advertising and if no longer required to specify fee arrangements, many lawyers who now advertise would increase their fees.
In the consumer advocate's argument, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A The first is a generalization that the consumer advocate accepts as true; the second is presented as a consequence that follows from the truth of that generalization. 分析该选项
B The first is a pattern of cause and effect that the consumer advocate argues will be repeated in the case at issue; the second acknowledges a circumstance in which that pattern would not hold. 分析该选项
C The first is pattern of cause and effect that the consumer advocate predicts will not hold in the case at issue; the second offers a consideration in support of that prediction. 分析该选项
D The first is evidence that the consumer advocate offers in support of a certain prediction; the second is that prediction. 分析该选项
E The first acknowledges a consideration that weighs against the main position that the consumer advocate defends; the second is that position. 分析该选项
我的答案：C
正确答案：C
能解释一下C选项的in the case at issue 和B选项的a circumstance的差别吗

A、B的开头对不对。第一个黑体既是评论，又是结论吗？ 5 The average hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland has long been significantly lower than that in neighboring Borodia. Since Borodia dropped all tariffs on Vernlandian televisions three years ago, the number of televisions sold annually in Borodia has not changed. However, recent statistics show a drop in the number of television assemblers in Borodia. Therefore, updated trade statistics will probably indicate that the number of televisions Borodia imports annually from Vernland has increased. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? A The number of television assemblers in Vernland has increased by at least as much as the number of television assemblers in Borodia has decreased 分析该选项 B Televisions assembled in Vernland have features that televisions assembled in Borodia do not have 分析该选项 C The average number of hours it takes a Borodian television assembler to assemble a television has not decreased significantly during the past three years 分析该选项 D The number of televisions assembled annually in Vernland has increased significantly during the past three years 分析该选项 E The difference between the hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland and the hourly wage of television assemblers in Borodia is likely to decrease in the next few years 分析该选项 我的答案：A 正确答案：C 为什么选C，C不是increase呀，是decrease?
