Paleontologist: About 2.8 million years ago, many species that lived near the ocean floor suffered substantial population declines. These declines coincided with the onset of an ice age. The notion that cold killed those bottom-dwelling creatures outright is misguided, however; temperatures near the ocean floor would have changed very little. Nevertheless, the cold probably did cause the population declines, though indirectly. Many bottom-dwellers depended for food on plankton, small organisms that lived close to the surface and sank to the bottom when they died. Most probably, the plankton suffered a severe population decline as a result of sharply lower temperatures at the surface, depriving many bottom-dwellers of food.
In the paleontologist's reasoning, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
【原始】 逻辑有题是讲 冬雪压枝跟秋雪压枝那个的,冬天的雪比秋天厚,但对车造成的伤害小,问的是解释原因。但选项里面没有以前说的什么人们知道这种情况不把车放在树底什么的,记得选了冬天的雪与秋天的雪有差异的那个选项。(by vaeteng)
【考古】(建议注意看J的分析)
V1. 某地冬天的雪比秋天的雪大多了,但是秋天report的由于树枝掉落压坏的汽车比冬天多,有一个假说解释:秋天的树有叶子,往往会承受更大的压力导致tree limb段落,问的是加强。
选择:很大一部分汽车损坏report说是由于树枝掉落砸坏的。

V2. 题目为某地冬天的雪比秋天的雪大多了,但是秋天report的由于树枝掉落压坏的汽车比冬天多,解释为:某地秋天树上有叶子,雪积在树叶上导致砸到车上的重量增加。
A选项是对车的破坏程度越大,越有可能report.
B很大部分受自然灾害的report是被树枝砸坏的。楼主选它,尽管当时很纠结,因为感觉范围扩大了,文中没有讲到其他的自然灾害;但是其他选项更加不靠谱,所以信JJ了。

V5和jj说的差不多,就是一个地方秋天、冬天都有snowstorm,且冬天的更大更严重。但是秋天被倒下的树砸的房子和车都要多。专家认为是因为当地主要的树都是落叶的,所以秋天有叶子的时候积的雪多,冬天没叶子了就好一点。问support
选项记得比较清楚的是自己选的那个,说当地的常绿树就倒得冬天比秋天多,然后其他选项恍惚记得有一个说snowstorm大多发生在晚秋,这个明显不了,还有一个关于树上积多少雪啥的。答案大家还是得自己看,我选的时候觉得我选的这个也不是很靠谱,但是其他也没有感觉更靠谱,不知道是不是有选项没看清
V7:解释题:
与JJ的一道”大雪压断树枝”很类似,但不大一样.
我遇到的: 研究发现秋天的雪比冬天的雪更容易压坏停放的汽车
我选的是_因为冬天的雪比秋天的雪更不容易从树枝掉落下来
V8 support 题.某个地方他们那里冬天的将雪量比秋天要大,然而秋天因为树枝被雪压断造成的汽车房屋伤害却比冬天的多。有人说是因为秋天的数上有叶子,比较容易积雪,所以比较容易折断。选一下哪一个支持这个观点:我选的是有一种常青树(evergreen tree),它的树枝折断所造成的损伤在秋天和冬天数量基本一致。
疑似原题变体问解释:
Branched would be broken off by snow in winter and, therefore, the cars would break down because of those branches. However, the number of those cars broken down in autumn is higher than those in winter. What can explain it?
A. in autumn, the gust will break off branches which will break down the cars.
B. in winter, people know that the branches will be broken off by snow so that they never park their cars under the trees.
Gust是风的意思
J回答同学疑问:
题干中说树枝断掉了,没说怎么断的,选项B,冬天车躲雪,那秋天可能不下雪啊?秋天树枝没断的原因的话为啥车损报告要比冬天的要多呢?
J分析:
F: 一个地方秋天、冬天都有snowstorm,说秋天和冬天的雪以及汽车损坏率的
题干假设P: 可能秋天树叶多,所以雪沉积的就多,砸下来破坏就更大
C: 秋天的损失报告中由树枝掉落压坏的汽车比冬天多
问加强:
考古及狗主选项分析:
对车的破坏程度越大,越有可能report
这个选项果断过滤掉!连秋冬天的比较都没有,算什么?
我选的是秋天雪下得也比冬天多
这个选项其实很吸引人,但是狗主错误的把文中的假设解释认为是结论了,本题其实和雪没关系,说的是树枝掉落,雪压断树枝是树枝掉落的一个原因,不是唯一原因。增强结论和假设说明没有关系。
很大一部分汽车损坏report说是由于树枝掉落砸坏的。
J认为这个选项是正确的选项,虽然解释的力度不是很大,但是是考古及分析中唯一可以增强秋天树枝掉落压坏汽车数量比冬天多的选项。

Outsourcing is the practice of obtaining from an independent supplier a product or service that a company has previously provided for itself. Since a company’s chief objective is to realize the highest possible year-end profits, any product or service that can be obtained from an independent supplier for less than it would cost the company to provide the product or service on its own should be outsourced.
后面还有半句是原题正确选项的改良,就是说outsoucing的缺点是暴露隐私,会受supplyer的制约,所以影响盈利,因此outsourcing不一定好
正确答案:
第一个是一个definition of key term,第二个是一个evidence to support mediate conclusion(中间结论是影响盈利)that in favor of the final conclusion(outsourcing不一定好)

In the paleontologist's reasoning, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The first introduces the hypothesis proposed by the paleontologist; the second is a judgment offered in spelling out that hypothesis (Answer)
(B) The first introduces the hypothesis proposed by the paleontologist; the second is a position that the paleontologist opposes.
(B) The first introduces the hypothesis proposed by the paleontologist; the second is a position that the paleontologist opposes.
(C) The first is an explanation challenged by the paleontologist; the second is an explanation proposed by the paleontologist.
(D) The first is a judgment advanced in support of a conclusion reached by the paleontologist; the second is that conclusion.
(E) The first is a generalization put forward by the paleontologist; the second presents certain exceptional cases in which that generalization does not hold.

第一篇有考古,就前一阵子的!说是原先有八个船主在一个口岸钱是平摊的,后来又来了两个这两个人的船很大所以要更深的channel,但这意味着要花更多的钱,但其与船主都并未要多收他们的钱,问解释
其他不靠谱的选项就不回忆了,一个是说虽然是两个大船要求的,但这channel用得最频繁的却是那原先8个船
另一个说其他8个船要大船帮忙运东西到小地方去所以。。。

说有六家船运公司通用一个河道,疏通费用也是分担的,通常他们只要求20feet的什么什么。后来一家公司要求分享该河道,而该公司则要求 40feet的什么什么,并要求费用分担。在这一看上去明显不利于6家公司的情况下,这些公司仍然同意合作,since----------
