不能根据转折词判断黑脸题了！

XDF的老师当时教我们，这种题只要找到转折词的位置就能做出来。转折词前面的就是与结论不符的，转折词后面就是支持结论的。
现在想想，当时他找的例子必然都是支持他这种方法的。

后来做了那么多逻辑，发现越来越多的boldface都不能用这种方法做，还是应该注意读题！
比如这道：
16. GWD-18-Q16
Aroca City currently funds its public schools through taxes on property. In place of this system, the city plans to introduce a sales tax of three percent on all retail sales in the city. Critics protest that three percent of current retail sales falls short of the amount raised for schools by property taxes. The critics are correct on this point. Nevertheless, implementing the plan will probably not reduce the money going to Aroca’s schools. Several large retailers have selected Aroca City as the site for huge new stores, and these are certain to draw large numbers of shoppers from neighboring municipalities, where sales are taxed at rates of six percent and more. In consequence, retail sales in Aroca City are bound to increase substantially.

In the argument given, the two potions in boldface play which of the following roles?

A.The first presents a plan that the argument seeks to defend against a certain criticism; the second gives part of the basis for that criticism.
B.The first presents a plan that the argument seeks to defend against a certain criticism; the second gives part of the basis for that defense.
C.The first presents a plan that the argument criticizes; the second is a consideration raised by the argument in support of that criticism.
D.The first presents a plan that the argument criticizes; the second presents a consideration that has been raised against that criticism.
E.The first presents a plan whose consequences the argument seeks to evaluate; the second is presented by the argument as one likely consequence that is undesirable.

Nevertheless的转折是针对critics的。所以两句boldface都是正面支持结论的。
这种题不能单独根据转折词判断了...

Nevertheless语气较弱。。只能根据However来做。。

可是在这道题里，即使换成however，选项也不会改变的。

我的逻辑老师也说nevertheless是语气较弱的转折，但和however作用基本平级，是句语句之间的转折，比although这种一个句子里的转折高出一级。
虽说也有道理，但还是误人啊。做题时绝对还是要具体问题具体分析，不能恪守这些所谓“原则”……

这题答案选什么呢？

你只看到了nevertheless的转折，没有看到Critics protest 这种负面评价也是有转折含义的，相当于否定之否定呀。要看转折，但不是只看转折词，每个句子的开头要看一下有没有含义上的转折和否定。

XFD的技巧只是帮你省一些时间，但不是整片只看一两个词的
