Editorial:

 

In Ledland, unemployed adults receive government assistance.  To reduce unemployment, the government proposes to supplement the income of those who accept jobs that pay less than government assistance, thus enabling employers to hire workers cheaply.  However, the supplement will not raise any worker’s income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed.  Therefore, unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement.

 

Which of the following, if true about Ledland, most seriously weakens the argument of the editorial?

 

1. The government collects no taxes on assistance it provides to unemployed individuals and their families.
2. Neighboring countries with laws that mandate the minimum wage an employer must pay an employee have higher unemployment rates than Ledland currently has.
3. People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.

4. The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level.
5. People sometimes accept jobs that pay relatively little simply because they enjoy the work.

Q40:
Parland’s alligator population has been declining in recent years, primarily because of hunting.  Alligators prey heavily on a species of freshwater fish that is highly valued as food by Parlanders, who had hoped that the decline in the alligator population would lead to an increase in the numbers of these fish available for human consumption.  Yet the population of this fish species has also declined, even though the annual number caught for human consumption has not increased.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the decline in the population of the fish species?

A. The decline in the alligator population has meant that fishers can work in some parts of lakes and rivers that were formerly too dangerous.

B. Over the last few years, Parland’s commercial fishing enterprises have increased the number of fishing boats they use.

C. Many Parlanders who hunt alligators do so because of the high market price of alligator skins, not because of the threat alligators pose to the fish population.

D. During Parland’s dry season, holes dug by alligators remain filled with water long enough to provide a safe place for the eggs of this fish species to hatch.

E. In several neighboring countries through which Parland’s rivers also flow, alligators are at risk of extinction as a result of extensive hunting.

题:没工作的有低保,有工作收入还没有低保多的给予补足,但是,由于如果去找工作后是低收入加补足的钱也不能超过低保,所以很多人因此就不会去找工作了.

weaken:人们去找工作可以得到比不工作的人更做的钱.

我不去找工作所得收入=找一份低于低保收入的工作所得到的钱

但是我去找工作可能得到比低保还要多的钱,所以我要去找工作.

讲A吃鱼,A少了,人们希望鱼会多.但是鱼也少了,又不是因为人吃多了,那是因为什么呢?

因为A提供了一个足够安全的地方给鱼孵化(可以理解为即使A不吃了,人也抓不到)

LSS是不对的，应理解为没有了alligator，fishes eggs受到的保护也就没有了，所以它们的数量才会减少。
