看了一些讨论, 试着总结一下 首先明确一个概念,能做evidence的一定是客观存在,不能是主管能动,主管能送可以是reason. 原文的简化LOR: 因为高管买股票(evidence), 投资者认为高管这么做是因为对公司有信心(intermediate conclusion),所以投资者释然了(main conclusion supposed to be opposed by author). 因为有可能高管扮猪吃老虎(reason),所以投资者过分乐观(main conclusion). ANS: D 其他选项的方向不正确。、
但是这道题OG12上给的答案是A啊,虽然我自己选的也是D,而且看不懂答案到底再说什么..求解释 D: the second statement is not itself offered as an xiplanation of why these bank executives are investing in the bank; if it were, that would mean that the bank executives are doing so because corporate executives are known to do such thikngs in a calculated effort to dispel worries. Futhermore the argument does not conclude that this other explanation( which the boldfaced portion points to) is correct, only that the one inferred by depositors may not be.
top executives evidently have faith in the bank’s financial soundness 当然是 several of a bank’s top executives have been buying shares in their own bank 所推出的结论。 你仔细看看,高管对银行有信心 如何可以成为证据。证据是要客观事实的。
OG黑体部分不一样啊 OG: Since it has become known that several of a bank’s top executives have been buying shares in their own bank, the bank’s depositors, who had been worried by rumors that the bank faced impending fi nancial collapse, have been greatly relieved. They reason that, since top executives evidently have faith in the bank’s fi nancial soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false. Such reasoning might well be overoptimistic, however, since corporate executives have been known to buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to dispel negative rumors about the company’s health. In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles? (A) The fi rst describes evidence that has been taken as supporting a conclusion; the second gives a reason for questioning that support. (B) The fi rst describes evidence that has been taken as supporting a conclusion; the second states a contrary conclusion that is the main conclusion of the argument. (C) The fi rst provides evidence in support of the main conclusion of the argument; the second states that conclusion. (D) The fi rst describes the circumstance that the argument as a whole seeks to explain; the second gives the explanation that the argument seeks to establish. (E) The fi rst describes the circumstance that the argument as a whole seeks to explain; the second provides evidence in support of the explanation that the argument seeks to establish.
What is the role that the two boldfaced portions play in the argument? Th e first boldfaced portion states that bank executives are buying bank shares, which the passage indicates is taken by bank depositors to be evidence of the executives’ faith in the bank. (高管买股是evidence)The passage then tells us what some have inferred from this, and finally off ers in the second boldfaced statement evidence that undermines this inference. A Correct. Th is option correctly identifi es the roles played by the boldfaced portions. B Th is correctly describes the fi rst statement’s role, but the second statement is not off ered as a conclusion—no evidence is given for it; rather it is evidence for something else. C Again, the second statement is not off ered as a conclusion; no evidence is given for it. D Th e second statement is not itself off ered as an explanation of why these bank executives are investing in the bank; if it were, that would mean that the bank executives are doing so because corporate executives are known to do such things in a calculated eff ort to dispel worries. Furthermore the argument does not conclude that this other explanation (which the boldfaced portion points to) is correct, only that the one inferred by depositors may not be. E Again, the argument is not so much seeking to establish an explanation of its own as it is trying to undermine that inferred by the depositors. Th e correct answer is A.
