Q14:

Guidebook writer:  I have visited hotels throughout the country and have noticed that in those built before 1930 the quality of the original carpentry work is generally superior to that in hotels built afterward.  Clearly carpenters working on hotels before 1930 typically worked with more skill, care, and effort than carpenters who have worked on hotels built subsequently.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the guidebook writer’s argument?

1. The quality of original carpentry in hotels is generally far superior to the quality of original carpentry in other structures, such as houses and stores.


2. Hotels built since 1930 can generally accommodate more guests than those built before 1930.


3. The materials available to carpenters working before 1930 were not significantly different in quality from the materials available to carpenters working after 1930.


4. The better the quality of original carpentry in a building, the less likely that building is to fall into disuse and be demolished.


5. The average length of apprenticeship for carpenters has declined significantly since 1930

Actually I choose A, which states that the materials used to build carpentry is unusual; Then answer is D; Who can aid me to explain D???

A错，因为和carpenters working on hotels 中的hotel无关，不能削弱。

不过这一题我也是至今很苦恼，刚开始选B。

现在我觉得是E，学徒期的大幅度减少是原因。他因削弱。

不确定。

，

A. 一眼就排除，因为比较对象与原文不符。

D. 一大楼其木工越是好，大楼越是不可能被禁用或拆除。言下之意，不好的已不用或拆毁了，留下的都是好的。所以不能说1930前的都比其后的好。

E. The average length of apprenticeship for carpenters has declined significantly since 1930

其实是加强，学徒期变短了－>手艺不如以前的。所以以前的好是因为手艺好，即more skill.

刚看到　解释晚了同ｌｅｓ。　

这题典型

只有D符合 A,B无关 E加强 C应该是ASSUMPTION

D的解释和LES一样
