加贴“砖头”P197 第86：
government-subsidized insurance available to homeowners makes it feasible for anyone to build a house on a section of coastline regularly struck by hurricanes. each major storm causes billions of dollars worth of damage in such coastal areas, after which owners who have insurance are able to collect an amount of money sufficient to recoup a high % of their loss.
the passage provides the most support for an argument against a government bill proposing
E. establishment of a contingency fund protecting owners of uninsured houses inthe coastal areas fm catastrophic losses due to the hurricane damage.
答案就是E。我的理解是：政府应该着力保护insured house owners.而不是uninsured ...
可是我看了后面的解释：政府补贴的保险项目是为了保护海边地区的户主们的意外灾难性损失，因此要反对政府补贴的保险项目，就是要找出一个另一个课题患的能保护沿海地区户主利益的办法，五个选项里只有E是针对户主利益而提出的，所以E。
我觉得解释的粗体部分不对，大家来讨论一下，问题到底是什么意思。（我得理解是：上面的段落为以下哪一个政府提议建立了最强的反对？）你们的理解呢？、？？

1.绝对数和相对数的提，由于参战的总人数未定，所以危险程度是不能确定的，我想你那样理解也可以

(2)
這句話的意思是說:
workers知道researcher對他們的生產力有興趣, 所以刻意表現
而(B)他因反駁, 說是因為空間的關係(drab workroom比較寬闊)所以生產力上升

谢谢两位。
1.就是说应该把两个group的injured 人数/每个group的总人数来比就对了是？我觉得是

以下是引用大傻猫在2003-8-25 15:05:00的发言：
1.during the second world war,about 375,000 civilians died inthe US and about 408,000 members of the US armed forces died overseas. onthe basis of those figures, it can be concluded that it was not much more dangerous to be overseas inthe armed forced during the II world war than it was to stay at home as a civiian.
which of the following ould reveal most clearly the absurdity of the conclusion drawn above?
D. comparing death rates per thousand members of each group rather than comparing total numbers of deaths.
答案是D，我就有一个疑问，他指的death rates /1000是说那上面的375k和408k各比上1000么？如果是这样，当然D很严重的错误。谢谢

I don't see the death rates per thousand either. It only mentions two total numbers, 375,000 and 408,000. Where is the per thousand comes from?

大傻猫

everybody ,come and discuss.我晕了～

1. Read the question carefully!
"which of the following could reveal most clearly the absurdity of the conclusion drawn above?"

It means that if we use a per thousand death rates to compare, we could see the absurdity of the conclusion.

大傻猫

mindfree.明白了。茅塞顿开。谢谢。第二提呢？

大傻猫

mindfree,能否再解答这题啊？
