54. It is true that it is against international law to sell plutonium to countries that do not yet have nuclear weapons. But if United States companies do not do so, companies in other countries will.
Which of the following is most like the argument above in its logical structure?
(A) It is true that it is against the police department’s policy to negotiate with kidnappers. But if the police want to prevent loss of life, they must negotiate in some cases. B) it is true that it is illegal to refuse to register for military service. But there is a long tradition in the United States of conscientious objection to serving in the armed forces. (C) It is true that it is illegal for a government official to participate in a transaction in which there is an apparent conflict of interest. But if the facts are examined carefully, it will clearly be seen that there was no actual conflict of interest in the defendant’s case. (D) It is true that it is against the law to burglarize people’s homes. But someone else certainly would have burglarized that house if the defendant had not done so first. (E) It is true that company policy forbids supervisors to fire employees without two written warnings. But there have been many supervisors who have disobeyed this policy.
55. In recent years many cabinetmakers have been winning acclaim as artists. But since furniture must be useful, cabinetmakers must exercise their craft with an eye to the practical utility of their product. For this reason, cabinetmaking is not art.
Which of the following is an assumption that supports drawing the conclusion above from the reason given for that conclusion?
(A) Some furniture is made to be placed in museums, where it will not be used by anyone. (B) Some cabinetmakers are more concerned than others with the practical utility of the products they produce. (C) Cabinetmakers should be more concerned with the practical utility of their products than they currently are. (D) An object is not an art object if its maker pays attention to the object’s practical utility. (E) Artists are not concerned with the monetary value of their products.
56. Although custom prosthetic bone replacements produced through a new computer-aided design process will cost more than twice as much as ordinary replacements, custom replacements should still be cost-effective. Not only will surgery and recovery time be reduced, but custom replacements should last longer, thereby reducing the need for further hospital stays.
Which of the following must be studied in order to evaluate the argument presented above?
(A) The amount of time a patient spends in surgery versus the amount of time spent recovering from surgery (B) The amount by which the cost of producing custom replacements has declined with the introduction of the new technique for producing them (C)The degree to which the use of custom replacements is likely to reduce the need for repeat surgery when compared with the use of ordinary replacements (D) The degree to which custom replacements produced with the new technique are more carefully manufactured than are ordinary replacements (E) The amount by which custom replacements produced with the new technique will drop in cost as the production procedures become standardized and applicable on a larger scale
57. Extinction is a process that can depend on a variety of ecological, geographical, and physiological variables. These variables affect different species of organisms in different ways, and should, therefore, yield a random pattern of extinctions. However, the fossil record shows that extinction occurs in a surprisingly definite pattern, with many species vanishing at the same time.
Which of the following, if true, forms the best basis for at least a partial explanation of the patterned extinctions revealed by the fossil record?
(A) Major episodes of extinction can result from widespread environmental disturbances that affect numerous different species. (B) Certain extinction episodes selectively affect organisms with particular sets of characteristics unique to their species. (C) Some species become extinct because of accumulated gradual changes in their local environments. (D) In geologically recent times, for which there is no fossil record, human intervention has changed the pattern of extinctions. (E) Species that are widely dispersed are the least likely to become extinct.
AI---- 16.The rise of multinational corporations is leading to globalhomogeneity*. Because people everywhere are beginning to want the same productsand services, regional differences are rapidly disappearing. (71)6次
回来补作业~ 55. 18s P: Cabinets are winning as art. C: However, cabinets are viewed as utility, so the cabinetmaking is not art. A: The work is not art if it's viewed with utility function. A: D
56 33s P: The new technique with CAD design will cost more. C: However, the new technique is better because it can reduce the time and makes the replacement of patients last longer. E: Whether the new technique can reduce the frequency of surgery? A: C
57 45s P: These variables of species extinct in different ways, so they should yield random patterns of different ways. C: However, these species are found to extinct simultaneously. E: Find the similarity or same consequence that these different patterns shared. A: A (A) Major episodes of extinction can result from widespread environmental disturbances that affect numerous different species. --> contender! (B) Certain extinction episodes selectively affect organisms with particular sets of characteristics unique to their species. --> if it's unique, then these species should not extinct at the same time. WEAKEN! (C) Some species become extinct because of accumulated gradual changes in their local environments. --> some species(X), the passage does not mention some species. (D) In geologically recent times, for which there is no fossil record, human intervention has changed the pattern of extinctions. --> human intervention is not mentioned in the passage. AND even though human intervention changed the pattern of extinction, this cannot conclude the way how it changed the extinction. (E) Species that are widely dispersed are the least likely to become extinct. --> species that are widely dispersed...., this is only limited to specific species. Not con vincible.
20s P: It's true that the international law against the country sells P to countries without nuclear power yet. C: However, other countries will do so if US doesn't do so. P: Other countries will sell P to countries without nuclear power no matter US does so or not. A: D
(A) It is true that it is against the police department’s policy to negotiate with kidnappers. But if the police want to prevent loss of life, they must negotiate in some cases. --> not parallel B) it is true that it is illegal to refuse to register for military service. But there is a long tradition in the United States of conscientious objection to serving in the armed forces. --> not parallel (C) It is true that it is illegal for a government official to participate in a transaction in which there is an apparent conflict of interest. But if the facts are examined carefully, it will clearly be seen that there was no actual conflict of interest in the defendant’s case. --> not parallel (D) It is true that it is against the law to burglarize people’s homes. But someone else certainly would have burglarized that house if the defendant had not done so first. --> yeah (E) It is true that company policy forbids supervisors to fire employees without two written warnings. But there have been many supervisors who have disobeyed this policy. --> not parallel
