不知不觉中，我们的逻辑练习都已经到了96题了~相信大家在这之中也积累了不少，再接再厉！

96.The difficulty with the proposed high-speed train line is that a used plane can be bought for one-third the price of the train line, and the plane, which is just as fast, can fly anywhere. The train would be a fixed linear system, and we live in a world that is spreading out in all directions and in which consumers choose the free-wheel systems (cars, buses, aircraft), which do not have fixed routes. Thus a sufficient market for the train will not exist.

Which of the following, if true, most severely weakens the argument presented above?

(A) Cars, buses, and planes require the efforts of drivers and pilots to guide them, whereas the train will be
guided mechanically.
(B) Cars and buses are not nearly as fast as the high-speed train will be.
(C) Planes are not a free-wheel system because they can fly only between airports, which are less convenient for consumers than the high-speed train’s stations would be.
(D) The high-speed train line cannot use currently underutilized train stations in large cities.
(E) For long trips, most people prefer to fly rather than to take ground-level transportation.

97.Leaders of a miners’ union on strike against Coalco are contemplating additional measures to pressure the company to accept the union’s contract proposal. The union leaders are considering as their principal new tactic a consumer boycott against Gasco gas stations, which are owned by Energy Incorporated, the same corporation that owns Coalco.

Answer to which of the following questions is LEAST directly relevant to the union leaders’ consideration of
whether attempting a boycott of Gasco will lead to acceptance of their contract proposal?

(A) Would revenue losses by Gasco seriously affect Energy Incorporated?
(B) Can current Gasco customers easily obtain gasoline elsewhere?
(C) Have other miners’ unions won contracts similar to the one proposed by this union?
(D) Have other unions that have employed a similar tactic achieved their goals with it?
(E) Do other corporations that own coal companies also own gas stations?

Questions 98-99 are based on the following.
Transnational cooperation among corporations is experiencing a model renaissance among United States firms, even though projects undertaken by two or more corporations under a collaborative agreement are less profitable than projects undertaken by a singly corporation . The advantage of transnational cooperation is that such joint international projects may allow United States firms to win foreign contracts that they would not otherwise be able to win.

98. Which of the following statements by a United States corporate officer best fits the situation of United States firms as described in the passage above?

(A) “We would rather make only a share of the profit and also risk only a share of a possible loss than run the full risk of a loss.”
(B) “We would rather make a share of a relatively modest profit than end up making none of a potentially much bigger profit.”
(C) “We would rather cooperate and build good will than poison the business climate by all-out competition.”
(D) “We would rather have foreign corporations join us in American projects than join them in projects in their home countries.”
(E) “We would rather win a contract with a truly competitive bid of our own than get involved in less profitable collaborative agreements.”

99. Which of the following is information provided by the passage above?

(A) Transnational cooperation involves projects too big for a single corporation to handle.
(B) Transnational cooperation results in a pooling of resources leading to high-quality performance.
(C) Transnational cooperation has in the past been both more common and less common than it is now among United States firms.

(D) Joint projects between United States and foreign corporation are not profitable enough to be worth
undertaking.
(E) Joint projects between United States and foreign corporations benefit only those who commission the
projects.

100. A compelling optical illusion called the illusion of velocity and size makes objects appear to be moving more slowly the larger the objects are. Therefore, a motorist’s estimate of the time available for crossing a highway with a small car approaching is bound to be lower than it would be with a large truck approaching.

The conclusion above would be more properly drawn if it were made clear that the

(A) truck’s speed is assumed to be lower than the car’s
(B) truck’s speed is assumed to be the same as the car’s
(C) truck’s speed is assumed to be higher than the car’s
(D) motorist’s estimate of time available is assumed to be more accurate with cars approaching than with trucks approaching
(E) motorist’s estimate of time available is assumed to be more accurate with trucks approaching than with cars approaching

冲破了100大关，大家加油啊！！

96.
The author argues that planes, since they are a free-wheel system, will be preferred to the high-speed train. Choice C weakens the argument by pointing out that planes are not a free-wheel system and are les convenient than the high-speed train would be. Thus C is the best answer.
The special feature of the high-speed train described in A is not one that clearly affects consumer choice one way or the other way. Since it is planes that would compete effectively with the proposed trains, the fact that cars and buses might not do so is irrelevant. Non-availability of certain station (choice D) and the consumer preferences described in choice E tend to make the proposed train less, not more, attractive and so both choices strengthen the argument.

97.
Whether corporations, other than Energy Incorporated, that own coal companies also own gas stations is not directly relevant to whether attempting a boycott of Gasco gas stations will coerce Coalco to accept the contract proposal. Thus choice E is the best answer.
Each of the other four questions is relevant to evaluating the chances the union strategy has of succeeding.
Choice A bears on whether the strategy would apply sufficient economic pressure on Energy Incorporated.
Choice B is relevant to whether consumers can respond to the call for a boycott. Choice C is relevant to whether the union’s contract proposal is a reasonable one. Choice D is relevant because a successful precedent would favorably reflect on the union’s chances of success.

98.
According to the passage, for certain foreign contracts United States firms can either cooperate and hope to earn a modest profit, or not cooperate, not win the contract, and earn no part of a larger profit. This is how choice B describes the situation, so choice B is the best answer.
In order to earn a profit, United States firms must cooperate, so the alternatives described in several of the
choices are not in practice open to them: the alternatives of a modest risk versus a full risk (choice A).,
cooperation versus competition (choice C), and winning on their own versus collaborating (choice E). Since they do not have the same need to cooperate with foreign corporations to win American contracts, choice D does not fit either.

99.
To say that transnational cooperation is experiencing a modest renaissance means that it used to be relatively common, became less so, and is now becoming more common again. Therefore choice C is the best answer, since it follows from that statement.
None of the other choices presents information provided by the passage. The passage says nothing about the size of the projects (choice A), nor about the quality of work in cases of transnational cooperation (choice B).
Since the passage strongly suggests transnational cooperation can be profitable for the firms concerned, it
thereby tends to contradict both the claims that joint projects are not profitable (choice D) and that they only benefit those who commission the projects (choice E).

100.
If the truck’s speed is assumed to be the same the car’s, then since the truck is larger, the optical illusion will make it appear that there is more time to cross the highway with the truck approaching than with the car approaching. Thus, choice B helps in establishing the conclusion and is the best answer.
If the truck’s speed is lower than the cars (choice A), the conclusion does not depend on the illusion. If the truck’s speed is higher than the car’s (choice C), the speed of the truck might counteract the illusion’s effect. Since the illusion works as stated regardless of what vehicle the estimate happens to be accurate for, neither choice D nor choice E assists in drawing the conclusions.

96--31s
P: The used plane cost 1/3 of the train, and there's no fixed routes in the world.
C: So there is no market for the train line.
W: Most people live in town only have local travel.
A: C
(A) Cars, buses, and planes require the efforts of drivers and pilots to guide them, whereas the train will be
guided mechanically.--how the cars, buses, planes are guided is irrelevant.
(B) Cars and buses are not nearly as fast as the high-speed train will be.-- the comparison between cars and trains is irrelevant.
(C) Planes are not a free-wheel system because they can fly only between airports, which are less convenient for consumers than the high-speed train’s stations would be.--yeah!
(D) The high-speed train line cannot use currently underutilized train stations in large cities.--this is to support the conclusion.
(E) For long trips, most people prefer to fly rather than to take ground-level transportation.--support.

97--35s
P: Leaders of union want to threat the C. corporation to approve the contract.
C: So the leaders of union will fight against another Gas company, owned by the corporation C. to achieve its goal.
Except: E
(A) Would revenue losses by Gasco seriously affect Energy Incorporated?
(B) Can current Gasco customers easily obtain gasoline elsewhere?
(C) Have other miners’ unions won contracts similar to the one proposed by this union?
(D) Have other unions that have employed a similar tactic achieved their goals with it?
(E) Do other corporations that own coal companies also own gas stations?----irrelevant

98---36s
P: Although the project taken under a single corporation is more profitable than the two corporations, the model is good.
C: This model can creates opportunity to win the foreign contract than it otherwise would.
A: B
(A) “We would rather make only a share of the profit and also risk only a share of a possible loss than run the full risk of a loss.” -- this seems to undermine the advantage of the model.
(B) “We would rather make a share of a relatively modest profit than end up making none of a potentially much bigger profit.” -- the conclusion is about the collaboration with foreign countries.
(C) “We would rather cooperate and build good will than poison the business climate by all-out competition.” --this is the opposite.
(D) “We would rather have foreign corporations join us in American projects than join them in projects in their home countries.” -- this is not mentioned.
(E) “We would rather win a contract with a truly competitive bid of our own than get involved in less profitable collaborative agreements.”---not true

I: E（选C，还是不太明白为什么选C）
(A) Transnational cooperation involves projects too big for a single corporation to handle. -- this is not true, the passage does not mention.
(B) Transnational cooperation results in a pooling of resources leading to high-quality performance. -- we don't know if this leads to high-quality performance.
(C) Transnational cooperation has in the past been both more common and less common than it is now among United States firms. -- modest指出曾经有时common，有时不是，所以是对的~~
(D) Joint projects between United States and foreign corporation are not profitable enough to be worth
undertaking.-- if it's not worth undertaking, then why the method is still implemented.
(E) Joint projects between United States and foreign corporations benefit only those who commission the
projects.-- we don't know if the joint only benefits those who commission the projects.

100---33sP: The larger the object is, the slower the object appeared to move.
C: A motorist observed that the estimated time of small car is lower than the a big truck when crossing the highway.
I: The big truck's speed is the same as the car's speed.
A:B
(A) truck’s speed is assumed to be lower than the car’s -- if the actual speed of truck is slow, then the argument does not talk about the illusion only.
(B) truck’s speed is assumed to be the same as the car’s --yeah
(C) truck’s speed is assumed to be higher than the car’s -- truck's speed is higher than the car, then we can assume that the truck use less time than car.
(D) motorist’s estimate of time available is assumed to be more accurate with cars approaching than with trucks approaching -- irrelevant
(E) motorist’s estimate of time available is assumed to be more accurate with trucks approaching than with cars approaching --irrelevant

96:
t:45'
p1: The train would be a fixed linear system,but the plain can fly anywhere
p2:we live in a world that is spreading out in all directions and in which consumers choose the free-wheel systems
c: a sufficient market for the train will not exist
a:c

97
t:45'
p1

eaders of a miners’ union on strike against Coalco are contemplating additional measures to pressure the company to accept the union’s contract proposa
p2:Energy Incorporated owns Coalco and Gasco gas stations
c:The union leaders are considering a consumer boycott against Gasco gas stations
pph:你要使得strike有效就要更有利的证据证明gasco可以影响到coalco
a

D)
答案居然是e，不过看了解析可以明白过来。。。。这种least题思路似乎和一般的题不太一样，得考虑得很全面。

98.
t:45‘
p:Transnational cooperation get renaissance even though projects undertaken by two or more corporations under a collaborative agreement are less profitable than projects undertaken by a singly corporation
c:The advantage is that such joint international projects may allow United States firms to win foreign contracts that they would not otherwise be able to win
a:
想不通，答案是b，b仔细读确实和逻辑链更吻合，但想不通为什么e是错的。。。。我自己做的时候是更多的从结论中的“win”来考虑的。。。。
最近这个错误率打击人啊，gwd的错误率也变高了。。。。

99
a:这几天错了太多，弱弱得选了个c
对了！！

100
t:90'
p:an illusion that an objects the larger,it seems to move more slowly
c:Therefore, a motorist’s estimate of the time available for crossing a highway with a small car approaching is bound to be lower than it would be with a large truck approaching.

pph:看了好久的题，一直没明白怎么结论和条件反了，后来才发现说的是time更lower,
a:b

shelvey · 发表于 2011-11-9 11:01:47

关于第100题有个语法问题，time不是应该用less（fewer?）来修饰吗, 怎么可以用lower呢？
