我也特别喜欢它，要是有个这么像我一样贪睡的小猫，我每天就跟它一起睡啊睡啊睡啊……

可爱得想蹂躏它……似乎我有暴力倾向也

哈,哈~~偶也系~~

今天看了一半GWD的逻辑~~争取明天把另一半也看完~~后天可以开始第三轮PREP SC

sigrid920

今天重看了GWD1-13的假设部分, 又发现一些不太清楚的地方, 拿出来大家讨论讨论~~闹闹^-^可能就是你正看看的呢, 我现在都还米有搞清楚~~汗~~希望我不会再将这里弄成逻辑的海洋~~

GWD-6-Q4:

In the past the country of Siduria has relied heavily on imported oil.  Siduria recently implemented a program to convert heating systems from oil to natural gas.  Siduria already produces more natural gas each year than it burns, and oil production in Sidurian oil fields is increasing at a steady pace.  If these trends in fuel production and usage continue, therefore, Sidurian reliance on foreign sources for fuel should decline soon.

 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

 

1. In Siduria the rate of fuel consumption is rising no more quickly than the rate of fuel production.

2. Domestic production of natural gas is rising faster than is domestic production of oil in Siduria.

3. No fuel other than natural gas is expected to be used as a replacement for oil in Siduria.

4. Buildings cannot be heated by solar energy rather than by oil or natural gas.

5. All new homes that are being built will have natural-gas-burning heating systems.

 

这一题, 我十分赞同选(A), 但是有个疑问, 题目说Siduria already produces more natural gas each year than it burns, and oil production in Sidurian oil fields is increasing at a steady pace.  If these trends in fuel production and usage continue, 我记得lawyer说, 带有IF 结论的题目中, IF条件是前提, 怎么感觉(A)与题目前提重复了呢? 好像就是把题目中的前提复述了一遍, 也算是假设吗?

 

GWD-9-Q40:

Agricultural societies cannot exist without staple crops. Several food plants, such as kola and okra, are known to have been domesticated in western Africa, but they are all supplemental, not staple, foods. All the recorded staple crops grown in western Africa were introduced from elsewhere, beginning, at some unknown date, with rice and yams. Therefore, discovering when rice and yams were introduced into western Africa would establish the earliest date at which agricultural societies could have arisen there.

 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

 

A. People in western Africa did not develop staple crops that they stopped cultivating once rice and yams were introduced.

B. There are no plants native to western Africa that, if domesticated, could serve as staple food crops. 没有涉及关键问题：时间

C. Rice and yams were grown as staple crops by the earliest agricultural societies outside of western Africa.

D. Kola and okra are better suited to growing conditions in western Africa than domesticated rice and yams are.

E. Kola and okra were domesticated in western Africa before rice and yams were introduced there.

Answer:A

 

我同意答案(A), 但是我又觉得这是一个重复前提的选项. 前提是无主要作物就无农业社会，论据是在米和番薯引入西非之前，西非没有主要作物，结论是西非的农业社会是从米和番薯的引入开始的（文章中是时间）。其假设是在米和番薯之前，西非没有主要作物。a说明，此前确实没有。

题目已经告诉你了没有主要作物了, 怎么还假设呢?

 

这两个题目的答案我都非常同意~~但是不明白的是, 为什么对题目条件的重复也可以做假设呢?

今天起得挺早的，本来想跟大家说声早安先，谁知道那个modem不知道是不是傻了，一早上没登录上。。。

刚刚把家里的风扇都拆洗了再装箱了，折腾了2个多小时。。。唉，都拖了几个月了，冬天都要过去了，对mama真是不好意思得很。。。

yaoMM应该开始每天减少一些题量，是调整状态的时候啦！

丽香要抓紧这几天，把SC吃透，会有突破性提高的~~

大家加油加油再加油~~

GWD-9-Q24:

For similar cars and drivers, automobile insurance for collision damage has always cost more in Greatport than in Fairmont. Police studies, however, show that cars owned by Greatport residents are, on average, slightly less likely to be involved in a collision than cars in Fairmont. Clearly, therefore, insurance companies are making a greater profit on collision-damage insurance in Greatport than in Fairmont.

G的汽车保险费比F高

G的撞车比F少

----G的保险公司利润比F高。

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

 

A. Repairing typical collision damage does not cost more in Greatport than in Fairmont.

B. There are no more motorists in Greatport than in Fairmont.

C. Greatport residents who have been in a collision are more likely to report it to their insurance company than Fairmont residents are.还是赚得多。

D. Fairmont and Greatport are the cities with the highest collision-damage insurance rates.

E. The insurance companies were already aware of the difference in the likelihood of collisions before the publication of the police reports.[A]

 

虽然Greatport的保险公司的收费高，并且Greatport的车辆事故发生率低，但是如果该地保险公司支付的赔偿金高，其利润不一定高。所以就需要找个选项说明其赔偿金高就可以了, (A) 我同意, 但是我觉得(C) 也可以说明为什么赔偿金高, 因为索要赔偿的人数多啊?

还有一个题目, 可能有些弱智~~

GWD-5-Q3:
            

The average hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland has long been significantly lower than that in neighboring Borodia.  Since Borodia dropped all tariffs on Vernlandian televisions three years ago, the number of televisions sold annually in Borodia has not changed.  However, recent statistics show a droip in the number of television assemblers in Borodia.  Therefore, updated trade statistics will probably indicate that the number of televisions Borodia imports annually from Vernland has increased.

V的电视机组装工人的小时工资小于B的
            

B不再对V征关税，B的电视机销量没有改变。SUM不变
            

但是，现在B电视机组装的工人人数下降。N下降----SUM中非进口部分下降
            

所以推测B从V进口的电视机数量在上升。要使SUM总数不变，进口部分上升
            

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?[

1. The number of television assemblers in Vernland has increased by at least as much as the number of television assemblers in Borodia has decreased. 工人人数的比较。
                   

2. Televisions assembled in Vernland have features that televisions assembled in Borodia do not have.

3. The average number of hours it takes a Borodian television assembler to assemble a television has not decreased significantly during the past three years.

4. The number of televisions assembled annually in Vernland has increased significantly during the past three years.

5. The difference between the hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland and the hourly wage of television assemblers in Borodia is likely to decrease in the next few years.[C]

我明白了为什么(C)好,但是不明白(D)怎么不行呢? 如果V国没有增加电视产量的话,B国就没有足够的电视可以进口啊??

28. GWD-18-Q20

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?

 

1. The first presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; the second is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection.

2. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attained; the second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion.

3. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes can be attained; the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion.

4. 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.

5. 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.

 

(B)项为什么不可以呢?

这些题目都是偶已经查过了讨论但是依旧不明白的~~可能大脑转不了几个弯弯~~

闹闹, 估计等你一上来又要晕啦~~

抱歉啊~~偶又把这里弄成了逻辑的海洋~~

好像我每天看什么, 你这里每天就泛滥成灾什么~~汗~~

没关系没关系。

偶今天上午都在看FF数学了，因为LG给电脑杀毒了，最近所有文档的隐藏功能都不好用了，害得偶做大全都得先一个个删答案，麻烦。 不过最终还是没能恢复功能。唉。

丽香的这些逻辑题都是在偶已经完成的GWD范围之内，过会一一看一遍。

Jojo，你发的模板收到了，下午拜读。嘿嘿！

yaoyao的图片的确很可爱，和你的性格不符，它会让你不那么火爆哈。

看了丽香的问题，偶真是觉得汗颜，自己做完题后分析得太不到位了，往往是看了NN们的解释，觉得明白了，就过。对下面选项的理解也是刚刚才想出来的：

GWD-6-Q4:  这个A选项中要注意的是the rate of，这与原文中的produce more和increasing at a steady pace是不同的，就举例子好了，都在增长，production增长的速度是10%，而consumption增长的速度是30%，这样很快不就不够用了吗？

GWD-9-Q40: 这个很相似，也是要注意原文与选项的用词是不同的，我觉得原文推理是：农业从开始种植staple crops开始，以前没有staple crops，所以就没有农业。但这里有个漏洞，如果record没有记录：以前曾经种过某种staple crops（这时有了农业），后来又因为什么原因而停种了。只是当这事没发生过。那么就不准确了。

我说的好像很不清楚。就这能力了。
