13. Top college graduates are having more difficulty demonstrating their superiority to prospective employers than did the top students of twenty years ago when an honors degree was distinction enough. Today’s employers are less impressed with the honors degree. Twenty years ago no more than 10 percent of a given class graduated with honors. Today, however, because of grade inflation, the honors degree goes to more than 50 percent of a graduating class, Therefore, to restore confidence in the degrees they award, colleges must take steps to control grade inflation.

Which one of the following is an assumption that, if true, would support the conclusion in the passage?

(A) Today’s students are not higher achievers than the students of twenty years ago.

(B) Awarding too many honors degrees causes colleges to inflate grades.

(C) Today’s employers rely on honors ranking in making their hiring decisions.

(D) It is not easy for students with low grades to obtain jobs.

(E) Colleges must make employers aware of the criteria used to determine who receives an honors degree.

答案:A,我觉得B,C也行啊?有什么区别是?A是怎么假设的呢?

14. Either Perry’s faction or Tucker’s faction, but not both, will win control of the government. If Perry’s faction wins, the nation will suffer economically. If Tucker’s faction wins, the nation will suffer militarily.

Given the statements in the passage, which one of the following statements must be true?

(A) It is possible, but not certain, that the nation will neither suffer economically nor suffer militarily.

(B) If the nation suffers economically, it is certain that Perry’s faction has won control of the government.

(C) It is certain that the nation will suffer either economically or militarily, and also certain that it will not suffer both.

(D) If the nation suffers militarily, it is possible, but not certain, that Tucker’s faction has won control of the government.

(E) If the nation suffers both economically and militarily, it is certain that neither Perry’s faction nor Tucker’s has won control of the government.

答案:D,一点也不知该怎么做这种题?

不好意思,问题多多,谢谢了。

由原文,可得1。Perry’s faction wins——》the nation will suffer economically
2。Tucker’s faction wins——》the nation will suffer militarily
3。Either Perry’s faction or Tucker’s faction, but not both, will win control of the government可推出A错
B的逻辑关系为the nation will suffer economically——》Perry’s faction wins,无法从原文的出,所以错
同理。可推出其他。
D强调了it is possible, but not certain。所以正确。

1. 你最好把你的思路写出来,我们看看是错在哪里.

2. 同意Jacy的看法, 一个真命题的逆命题或否命题不一定成立, 既可能成立,也可能不成立. A发生则B发生, 现在B发生了, A可能是原因,也可能不是.

能否结合此题,讲讲命题的逆命题或否命题不一定成立。我只会排除B,其它排除不了,不知该怎么做?

it is possible, but not certain。是不是definitly的否定表达?

谢谢。

grade inflation==> the honors degree goes to more than 50 percent of a graduating class ==>Top college graduates are having more difficulty demonstrating their superiority to prospective employers than did the top students of twenty years ago ===>to restore confidence in the degrees they award, colleges must take steps to control grade inflation.

排除D,E,留A,B,C,取非,结论都不能成立。所以觉得A,B,C都是假设。

唉,我对假设题有点晕,没感觉。

能否讲讲。谢谢。

1. assumption是原文逻辑的必要条件, 一般情况是原文中有一个逻辑上的gap, 例如: 吃肥肉补脑, 所以吃肥肉能使人聪明. 这里有三个概念, 很明显的是原文直接将补脑和使人聪明联系起来, 这就是原文中的gap, 是隐含的必要条件, 既补脑使人聪明. 如果这个条件不成立, 原文的逻辑关系就不存在.

其实assumption是CR中相对容易的一类, 原因是ETS出题的思路比较明确, 你在平时做题要总结, 比如有排除其它原因, 概念上的跳跃, 排除其它可能, 确认逻辑关系等. 我举几个例子说明:

1. 越来越多的人和父母一起住, 所以越来越多的人负担不起自己住. 这里就有一个问题, 和父母一起住的原因可能有很多, 比如越来越多的人想照顾父母, 或是父母希望和子女住在一起,也可能是经济原因. 愿结论直接认为是经济原因, 所以assumption就是其它原因不存在.

2. 广告中的流行歌曲使用费上涨了, 所以广告费用要上涨. 这里就是排除了其它可能, 比如说广告商不再用流行歌曲了, 改用交响乐了. 只有assume此中可能不会发生, 愿结论在成立

3. 因为这种福利制度能保障大多数人的利益, 所以我们必须维持这个制度. 这里的问题是原文的逻辑中福利制度是充分条件. 而结论把它变成了必要条件. 所以assumption就是要保障利益, 没有这个制度是不行的.

概念的跳跃我一开始解释了.

你要在平时多想, 每道题的思路是什么, 答案是怎样的. ETS没有很多花样的.

这道题就是排除其它原因, 原文认为现在honor多是因为grade inflation. assumption就是:honor多不是因为现在学生就是比以前好.

B不对. 对充分必要条件的理解要从意思上而不是仅仅从A-->B这种逻辑关系上. B不能说明如果control grade inflation就能杜绝过多的honor. 它只能说明如果没有出现grade inflation, 就说明没有过多的honor. 你体会一下.

C和原文的结论没有直接关系. 并且和原文意思相反. 原文讲employers不再相信honor.

原命题为:A-->B
逆命题为:B-->A
否命题为:非A-->非B
逆否命题为:非B-->非A

原命题和逆否命题为等价命题.如果原命题成立,逆否命题成立.vice versa.
逆命题和否命题为等价命题,如果逆命题成立,否命题成立.vice versa.

举例:
原命题:吃多了-->肚子涨
逆命题:肚子涨-->吃多了
否命题:没吃多--> 肚子不涨
逆否命题:肚子不涨-->没吃多

原命题是正确的.所以逆否成立.
但是逆命题和否命题不一定成立.肚子涨也许是水喝多了.

to mindfree

mindfree,你讲的排除他因,说得非常明白了.谢谢.

但是,

3. 因为这种福利制度能保障大多数人的利益, 所以我们必须维持这个制度. 这里的问题是原文的逻辑中福利制度是充分条件. 而结论把它变成了必要条件. 所以assumption就是要保障利益, 没有这个制度是不行的.

这个例子也是排除他因吗?这算是什么样的假设呢?

B不对. 对充分必要条件的理解要从意思上而不是仅仅从A-->B这种逻辑关系上. B不能说明如果control grade inflation就能杜绝过多的honor. 它只能说明如果没有出现grade inflation, 就说明没有过多的honor. 你体会一下.

这个能否再讲讲?为什么B不对,还是不太理解.

C已经明白了,是我做错了.

原理我明白了.能否结合T14题,用这个原理分析一下,然后排除这些选项呢?我就是不会运用啊.

另外,it is possible, but not certain。是不是will的否定表达?

谢谢.

3的例子是一种逻辑关系的变化. 论据为:A-->B,结论为:为了B,就要A. 等于是B-->A.我说过,逆命题和原命题是不等价的, 要将两个命题相等, 中间有个gap, 必须有assumption认为A不仅是B的充分条件,也是B的必要条件.

简单的例子:吃饭-->饱, 所以要饱,必须吃饭. 这里吃饭本来是充分条件, 但是结论把它边变成了必要条件, 没有assumption结论是不能直接成立的. 所以assumption是不吃饭就不能饱,既吃饭为必要条件.

It is possible, but not certain 和will不一样. 它更象might or might not.

其它的问题我再补充.
