37. Which of the following most logicallycompletes the argument?


Although the pesticide TDX has been widely used by fruit growers since the early 1960s, a regulation in force since 1960 has prohibited sale of fruit on which any TDX residue can be detected . That regulation is about to be replaced by one that allows sale of fruit on which trace amounts of TDX residue are detected . In fact, however, the change will not allow more TDX on fruit than was allowed in the 1960s, because __.


(A) pre-1970 techniques for detecting TDX residue could detect it only when it was present on fruit in more than the trace amounts allowed by the new regulations
(B) many more people today than in the 1960s habitually purchase and eat fruit without making an effort to clean residues off the fruit
(C) people today do not individually consume any more pieces of fruit, on average, than did the people in the 1960s
(0) at least a small fraction of the fruit sold each year since the early 1960s has had on it greater levels of TDX than the regulation allows
(E) the presence of TOX on fruit in greaterthan trace amounts has not been shown to cause any harm even to children who eat large amounts of fruit


38. Which of the following best completes the passage below?


The more worried investors are about losing their money, the more they will demand a high potential return on their investment; great risks must be offset by the chance of great rewards.

39. A certain mayor has proposed a fee of five dollars per day on private vehicles entering the city, claiming that the fee will alleviate the city's traffic congestion. The mayor reasons that, since the fee will exceed the cost of round-trip bus fare from many nearby points, many people will switch from using their cars to using the bus.


Which of the following statements, if true, provides the best ev idence that the mayor's reasoning is flawed?


(A) Projected increases in the price of gasoline will increase the cost of taking a private vehicle into the city.
(8) The cost of parking fees already makes it considerably more expensive for most people to take a private vehicle into the city than to take a bus.
(C) Mostof the people currently riding the bus do not own private vehicles.
(D) Many commuters opposing the mayor's plan have indicated that they would rather endure traffic congestion than pay a five-dollar-per-dayfee.
(E) During the average workday, private vehicles owned and operated by people living within the city account for 20 percent of the city's traffic congestion.


40. Journalist: Well-known businessman Arnold Bergeron has long been popular in the state, and he has often talked about running for governor, but he has never run. However, we have just learned that Bergeron has fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement for candidacy by submitting a detailed list of his current fin ancial holdings to the election commission. So, it is very likely that Bergeron will be a candidate for governor this year.


The answer to which of the following questions would be most useful in evaluating the journalist's argument?


(A) Has anybody else who has fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement for the upcoming election reported greater financial holdings than Bergeron?
(8) Is submitting a list of holdings the only way to fulfill the election commission's financial disclosure requirements?
(C) Did the information recently obtained by the journalist come directly from the election commission?
(D) Have Bergeron's fina ncial holdings increased in value in recent years?
(E) Had Bergeron also fulfilled the financial disclosure requirements for candidacy before any previous gubernatorial elections?

The following appeared in an Avia Airlines departmental memorandum:
“On average, 9 out of every 1,000 passengers whotraveled on Avia Airlines last year filed a complaint about ourbaggage-handling procedures. This means that although some 1 percent of ourpassengers were unhappy with those procedures, the overwhelming majority werequite satisfied with them; thus it would appear that a review of the proceduresis not important to our goal of maintaining or increasing the number of Avia’spassengers.”

AA:
Conclusion: there's no need for the arilines to review the procedures, since doing so will not influence the number of passengers.
Reason:
only 9 out of 1000 passengers filed the complaint about procedures.thus the overwheliming majority were satisfied.

points：
1. 不file complaint的不代表就satisfied了。
2. 这些少部分不满意的客人可能会影响到更多人使得他们不乘坐Avia的航班。
3. 去年的数据能代表今年的情况吗？过去不一定能推现在。
4. 没有和别的airlines比较。可能1%的complaint rate已经是很高了，其他公司可能没有收到complaint， If so, Avia’s one percent complaint rate might be significant enough to motivate customers to switch to another airline.

info.1:TDX has been widely used since xxx年，同年，a regulation has prohibited sales of fruit detected TDX
the regulation will allow trace amounts of TDX to be detected
info.2: however, the change won't allow more TDX on fruit to be detected
explanation: "the traces amounts" means different "amounts" in different ages
answer:a
22
info:investors will demand greater rewards if the risks are larger
this principle determines interest rates
explanation: the greater a risk is, the higher an interest rate is.
answer:b
25
premise:a mayor has proposed a fee on private vehicles in order to alleviate traffic congestion
since the fee is higher than the cost of using bus
conclusion:many people will switch to using bus,thus alleviate traffic congestion
weaken: other factors cause people's switch
answer:b
错选了a
分析了一下：
市长对私家车进城收费----减少交通堵塞
市长的推理是  收费比进城公交车贵----许多人放弃使用私家车而转用公交车
这里的flaw就是，收费真的能遏制人们用私家车进城的欲望么~~~

a 预测上升的油价将导致用私家车进城更贵
我选错是因为自己把事情想当然了，即使进城更贵，不一定人们就不开私家车进城，说不定我就爱开私家车进城呢？
所以这个选项并没有直击市长推理的flaw
b 私家车在城里的停车费用已经远远超过坐公交车的费用了
在这里，市长推理中的“收费会遏制人们用私家车进城的欲望”就被反驳了，人们不会因为想省钱所以才改坐公交车。于是 正解
c 现在已经做公交车的人已经不是市长的关注对象了，市长关注的是那些使用私家车而造成交通拥挤的人群
d 那些反对市长计划的人表明还是会开私家车。 好像和市长的推理没多少关系，没谈省钱的事儿
e 同上

AA：

Conclusion: The A.airline will probably continue to increase the passengers without concern of customers' complaint.
Argument:
1. All the customers can be different for each flight, A. airline assumes that the same complaint will apply to the ones for next flight.
2.~~~脑子不在这里啊

5.AA
1.9 of every 1000 passengers complain does not mean the number of  people unhappy with the airline is small---> some people may unhappy, but they have no time to complain.
2.1 percent unhappy does not indicated the majority is satisfied-->may be the majority have no idea.
3. 1 percent complain can not mean review of the procedure is not important--->the percent of other complain may all less then this complain.
