一、 作文
1、Issue
“If the primary duty and concern of a corporation is to make money, then conflict is inevitable when the corporation must also acknowledge a duty to serve society.”
From your perspective, how accurate is the above statement? Support your position with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.
2、Argument
“Offering pizza in our cafeteria has proved extremely profitable. To further increase our profits from pizza sales, we should switch to PDQ Pizzeria to supply our pizza. PDQ pizza was twice voted the ‘best pizza’ in the neighboring town of Hamiltonia in on-line surveys of Hamiltonia Gazette readers. The PDQ branch in our town currently sells pizza for only slightly more than our cafeteria does and has begun offering free daily delivery. Switching to PDQ pizza will clearly improve satisfaction with our cafeteria and hence increase the cafeteria’s profits.”
Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc.

四、 逻辑
1、天山3－23
Q23:
Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn
Wilderness Area from residential development. They plan to do this by purchasing
that land from the farmers who own it. That plan is ill-conceived: if the farmers did sell
their land, they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other
bidders. On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land,
provided that farming it remains viable. But farming will not remain viable if the
farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources
modernization requires. And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy
would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain
viability.
In the argument as a whole, the two boldface proportions play which of the following
roles?
A. The first presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; the second is
evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection.
B. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attained; the
second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion.
C. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes can be attained; the second
is a judgment disputing that conclusion.
D. The first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evaluated in the
argument; the second is a judgment providing a basis for the argument’s advocacy
of a particular strategy.
E. The first presents a goal that the argument endorses; the second presents a
situation that the argument contends must be changed if that goal is to be met in
the foreseeable future.
2、人们尝试性的认为某个作品L是P这个人的，因为它仅仅依靠15世纪早期一篇以P为作者的论文为证据。最近发现了一些15世纪晚期的论文，它们都认为P是作品L的作者。不幸的是，这些新的发现并不能支持P是作品L的作者，因为_____
D、较晚的这些论文仅仅以较早的这篇论文为依据。
3、最近玉米的价格飞涨。玉米是牛的主要饲料。虽然玉米的成本仅占牛肉总的成本很小的一部分，但是玉米价格的上涨也会导致牛肉价格的大幅上涨。问支持。

4、政府将对违法的人实施经济处罚。那些逃避经济处罚的人将被送进监狱。如果违法的人能缴纳罚款，政府的收入将会增加；否则政府将为监狱而支出成本。问，下边那个措施能使政府的这个罚款计划成功？
答案：根据每一个违法人的经济情况决定他们的罚款金额。
五、 阅读
1、overeducated employees问题。是个现象解释型的。一共三段，60多行。第一段说公司雇佣overeducated employees的现象普遍存在。主要有两个问题：其一是这些overeducated employees的工资比那些有同样教育背景但not overeducated employees的工资低；其二是这些overeducated employees的工资比那些没有技术但也not overeducated employees的工资高。第二段说现有的理论成功的解释了第一问题，共给出四点理由为什么会有第一种现象，但不能解释第二个现象。第三段说新的理论弥补了老理论的缺陷，回答了第二个现象的原因。（这篇文章比较简单）
2、African American union问题。是新老观点对比型的。只有一段，40多行。大概意思是，一个学者在研究非裔美国工人参加工会情况时应用了另外一个学者关于他们文化认同感的研究成果。第一个学者认为非裔美国工人参加工会后又退出的原因是，这些工会强调classes而忽视ethic。但作者认为并非如此，实际情况是这些工会是强调ethic的，只不过是强调了非裔美国工人之外的其它群体的ethic。（我觉得文章比较晦涩）
3、将一个部落或者一个少数民族群体的文化多样性的问题，好像也是新老观点对比型，50多行。大概讲老观点认为该部落的文化是统一的，但作者认为他们忽略了一个事实，这个部落有4万多人，但有6种语言。作者认为他们并非一个完全同一的民族，而是在不同的时间、不同的小群体有一些共同特征；而另一时间，另外一些群体又有另外的一些特征。（这篇文章也不太好懂） |
