25. Which of the following most logically completes the reasoning?

Either food scarcity or excessive hunting can threaten a population of animals. If the group faces food scarcity, individuals in the group will reach reproductive maturity later than otherwise. If the group faces excessive hunting, individuals that reach reproductive maturity earlier will come to predominate. Therefore, it should be possible to determine whether prehistoric mastodons became extinct because of food scarcity or human hunting, since there are fossilized mastodon remains from both before and after mastodon populations declined, and__.

(A) There are more fossilized mastodon remains from the period before mastodon populations began to decline than from after that period

(B) The average age at which mastodons from a given period reached reproductive maturity can be established from their fossilized remains

(C) It can be accurately estimated from fossilized remains when mastodons became extinct

(D) It is not known when humans first began hunting mastodons

(E) Climate changes may have gradually reduced the food available to mastodons





26. Editorial: The mayor plans to deactivate the city's fire alarm boxes, because most calls received from them are false alarms. The mayor claims that the alarm boxes are no longer necessary, since most people now have access to either public or private telephones. But the city's commercial district, where there is the greatest risk of fire, has few residents and few public telephones, so some alarm boxes are still necessary.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the editorial's argument?

(A) Maintaining the fire alarm boxes costs the city more than five million dollars annually.

(B) Commercial buildings have automatic fire alarm systems that are linked directly to the fire department.

(C) The fire department gets less information from an alarm box than it does from a telephone call.

(D) The city's fire department is located much closer to the residential areas than to the commercial district.

(E) On average, almost 25 percent of the public telephones in the city are out of order.





27. State spokesperson: Many businesspeople who have not been to our state believe that we have an inadequate road system. Those people are mistaken, as is obvious from the fact that in each of the past six years, our state has spent more money per mile on road improvements than any other state.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the reasoning in the spokesperson's argument?

(A) In the spokesperson's state, spending on road improvements has been increasing more slowly over the past six years than it has in several other states.

(B) Adequacy of a state's road system is generally less important to a businessperson considering doing business there than is the availability of qualified employees.

(C) Over the past six years, numerous businesses have left the spokesperson's state, but about as many businesses have moved into the state.

(D) In general, the number of miles of road in a state's road system depends on both the area and the population of the state.

(E) Only states with seriously inadequate road systems need to spend large amounts of money on road improvements.





28. Company Alpha buys free-travel coupons from people who are awarded the coupons by Bravo Airlines for flying frequently on Bravo airplanes. The coupons are sold to people who pay less for the coupons than they would pay by purchasing tickets from Bravo. This marketing of coupons results in lost revenue for Bravo.

To discourage the buying and selling of free-travel coupons, it would be best for Bravo Airlines to restrict the

(A) number of coupons that a person can be awarded in a particular year

(B) use of the coupons to those who were awarded the coupons and members of their immediate families

(C) days that the coupons can be used to Monday through Friday

(D) amount of time that the coupons can be used after they are issued

(E) number of routes on which travelers can use the coupons





AA 由于楼主刚弄作文，之前一直没有关注AA，若跟前面几期每日逻辑练习有重题，还请大家见谅啊~

贴上本月寂静一道：

Argument: Take Heart建了个新游泳池然后usage增加12%，建议继续增加facilities成为only center

原题：The following appeared as part of a business plan created by the management of the Take Heart Fitness Center:

“After opening the new swimming pool early last summer, Take Heart saw a 12 percent increase in the use of the center by its members. Therefore, in order to increase membership in Take Heart, we should continue to add new recreational facilities in subsequent years: for example, a multipurpose game room, a tennis court, and a miniature golf course. Being the only center in the area offering this range of activities would give us a competitive advantage in the health and recreation market.”(102)

3.the only center may not mean it will gain advantage--> this may reflect the people here do not like activities, so there are no other sports center.

AA:
Conclusion: The TakeHeart center plans to increase more recreational facilities in order to make more profit.
Argument:
1. The author needs to provide a better survey to show the age groups of people who use different facilities in order to determine if the center needs to add more facilities. Different age groups of people have different needs.
2. The author fails to draw a cause-effect relationship. The current increase of members may not be necessary related to the recreation facilities. The reason can be vary, such as service or cheaper price.etc.
3. In addition, there's no evidence to show 12% increase will continue even after the new facilities are added, since the center is new, so the argument won't be solid without providing the historical record for the profit of the center in past few years.
