请问GWDTT31中两道CR

由于没找到和13套XYGWD的对应关系，

第八套第27题

Q27:

Newspaper editorial:

 

In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditions harsher.  Part of this effort has been to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses.  However, this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal, since after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.

 

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

 

1. Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed.
2. Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.
3. The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released.
4. Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate’s subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.
5. The governor’s ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime.

答案选C，觉得C作为假设，argument则错了，请大家指点下

还有第40题

Q40.

Press Secretary:  Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.  They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.  But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors.  So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.

 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?

 

1. Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.
2. The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.
3. The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.
4. The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.
5. Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.

Q27，C对。C说的选择大学可能的人不比不选择大学课程的人更不容易犯罪。也就是说对比的双方的犯罪的可能性一样大，在这样的假设的基础上argument才有意义，如果本来要选大学课程的人就更不容易犯罪，那么让不让他们选择结果都是一样，就不能用来作为最后结论的判据

Q40，另外一个已经问了，你去看看详细的解答吧

C B

第一题的C，我有个问题。

把C取非， The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released. 意思是准备上学的比其他释放的较少可能犯罪。 这样的话，就支持了argument point而不是weaken。 因为argument说的是，正因为释放以后较少犯错，deny them才是违背政府初衷。

把B取非，Former inmates are more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.也就是说，无论如何，犯了罪的一定更容易犯罪，所以deny不违背。 这样就weaken了argument

所以我觉得是B而不是C

大家认为呢

以下是引用FlowerJay在2006-10-11 23:04:00的发言：

argument说的是，正因为释放以后较少犯错，deny them违背了政府初衷。

C取非， 那些去上学的本来就少可能犯罪。 那么上不上学其实没影响， 所以并没有违背政府初衷。 原argument就不成立。

把B取非，Former inmates are more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.也就是说，无论如何，犯了罪的一定更容易犯罪，所以deny不违背。 这样就weaken了argument

所以我觉得是B而不是C

 Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends? 

1. Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties. (惩罚的方法无关)
2. The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party. （举个例子，报告里面100个浪费的例子，P Parety 80个，N party 20个，结果取消20个，P Party里面取消2个，N party取消18个，占被取消的90％ 。对B取非就是这样的举例，Weaken结论 ）
3. The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future. （将来发展无关）
4. The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties. （看起来有关系，像是正确的，与BUDGET有关，但不是。取非不能消弱结论，）
5. Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects. （消弱结论，起WEAKEN作用）

      答案选C，没看懂它和文章的联系

所以选C

楼上的解释得真好！

我试着解释一下：
Q27关键是要支持“课程的作用”，那么需要找到“如果没有参加课程，这些人更有可能犯罪”的描述
C选项关键是“already”这个词的理解：整个选项意思是：参加课程的犯人（在参加课程之前）并不比其他犯人出狱后犯罪的可能性小。
即:参加课程之后，这些犯人的犯罪可能性减小了。
顺便说一句：这一类的题目其实还是一个找到“相同的比较基准”。即如果在两种不同现象的情况下，证明XX的作用，那就要排除他因。即把两种现象放在同一比较基准之下。不管是assumption,还是evaluation的类似题目都是这样的思路。

Q40：既然通过一份报告指出这个决定的公正性，前提应该是“这个报告本身是公正的”。涉及报告的选项只有B，E。而E选项是说某一群体对该报告的态度，和该报告本身无关。那么排除法可选B。

Press Secretary:  Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations  ...

对B的解释一下子说到位了！其实就是：报告中大部分wasteful都是Non Party的，同时这些wasteful都是报告中指出的，------前提就是：报告中大部分都是Non Party
