Parasitic wasps lay their eggs directly into the eggs of various host insects in exactly the right numbers for any suitable size of host egg.If they laid too many eggs in a host egg, the developing wasp larvae would compete with each other to the death for nutrients and space.If too few eggs were laid, portions of the host egg would decay, killing the wasp larvae.
Which of the following conclusions can properly be drawn from the information above?
1. In order to stop hair loss, a shampoo company plans to use Angelica sinensis, an eatable herb, as an important additive in its shampoo. Angelica sinensis can only be found at Yangshuo, a smal town in China, and the hair of residents in Yangshuo who use Angelica sinensis as shampoo is extremly healthy and black. Clearly, therefore, the product of shampoo with Angelica sinensis should be effective to stop hair loss
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A.Angelica sinensis will not be ineffective if synthesized with other ingredients in many shampoos.
B.If the residents in Yangshuo leave to other cities, many of them will suffer hair loss.
C.Some of the shampoo company's consumers do not suffer from hair loss.
D.Even if the shampoo company adds Angelica sinensis to its product, the sales of shampoo will remain stable or even decrease slightly because of its poor band image.
E.It can be estimated that in the year after the company adds Angelica sinensis, there would not be a greater variety of shampoos on the market than there was during the previous year.
正确答案:B
楼主选的A 很纠结AB啊 ,求大神解答
2.Parasitic wasps lay their eggs directly into the eggs of various host insects in exactly the right numbers for any suitable size of host egg. If they laid too many eggs in a host egg, the developing wasp larvae would compete with each other to the death for nurtrients and space. If too few eggs were laid, portions of the host egg would decay, killing wasp's larvae.
Which of the following conclusions can properly be drawn from the information above?
A. The size of the smallest host egg that a wasp could theoretically parasitize can be determined from the wasp's egg-laying behaviour.
B. Host insects lack any effective defenses against the form of predation practiced by parasitic wasps.
C. Parasitic wasps learn from experience how many eggs to lay into the eggs of different host species.
D. Failure to lay enough eggs would lead to the death of the developing wasp larvae more quickly than laying too many eggs would.
E. Parasitic wasps use visual clues to calculate the size of a host egg.
3.Car telephones have become increasingly popular because they permit people to make or receive business calls while driving. As an additional benefit, motorists can quickly call for help in the event of an accident or breakdown. Nevertheless, car telephones should be prohibited because their use causes hazardous driving.
It can be concluded that from the statements above the author is comitted to the truth of which of the following statements?
B. The reason twhy the use of car telephones causes hazardous driving is that while dialing calls drivers cannot keep both hands on wheel.
C. The advantanges afforded by car telephones do not outweigh the risks of hazardous driving created by them.
D. In order to dial or receive telephones calls, drivers must momentarily take their eyes off the road, and this practice is hazardous

题型是因果 AS 能引起头发健康
assumption的连个作用补充gap或guard against potential weakness
这种题型里面考的是第二种,需要用negation test去判断
B 取非 如果这些居民去到别的地方而头发依然乌黑亮丽,那就证明不是AS有效而是他们自身头发好 从而结论中加入AS能防止脱发的结论不成立。

你把这种题想得太复杂了,其实你连逻辑链都不用写。就看文章最多提到的东西和选项中提到的东西是否符合。最经常出现的错误选项是偷换概念,例如你纠结的C里面是host insects not host species,什么death of developing, 什么visual clues 全部都不可以被inference出来的。Inference的题目就是把文章中一直提一直提的东西搞清楚 然后poe就可以了
3.Car telephones have become increasingly popular because they permit people to make or receive business calls while driving. As an additional benefit, motorists can quickly call for help in the event of an accident or breakdown. Nevertheless, car telephones should be prohibited because their use causes hazardous driving.
It can be concluded that from the statements above the author is committed to the truth of which of the following statements? (问就是assumption)
B. The reason why the use of car telephones causes hazardous driving is that while dialing calls drivers cannot keep both hands on wheel. (看到开头几个词就可以否定了,作者conclusion并没有否定用car telephone,你会纠结这个选项估计是被前面的premises迷惑了)
C. The advantages afforded by car telephones do not outweigh the risks of hazardous driving created by them. (重复了结论中比较的两方,把逻辑上的gap连起来了)
D. In order to dial or receive telephones calls, drivers must momentarily take their eyes off the road, and this practice is hazardous (assumption的题怎么还会给出in order to呢,这就成为目的而不是assumption了)
