Dr. Kim: Electronic fetal monitors, now routinely used in hospital delivery rooms to check fetal heartbeat, are more intrusive than ordinary stethoscopes and do no more to improve the chances that a healthy baby will be born. Therefore, the additional cost of electronic monitoring is unjustified and such monitor-jog should be discontinued.

Dr. Anders: I disagree. Although you and I know that both methods are capable of providing the same information, electronic monitoring has been well worth the cost. Doctors now know the warning signs they need to listen for with stethoscopes, but only because of what was learned from using electronic monitors.
17. As a reply to Dr. Kim's argument, Dr. Anders' response is inadequate because it

(A) misses the point at issue

(B) assumes what it sets out to prove

(C) confuses high cost with high quality

(D) overestimates the importance of technology to modem medicine

(E) overlooks the fact that a procedure can be extensively used without being the best procedure available

18. Professor Hartley's new book on moral philosophy contains numerous passages that can be found verbatim in an earlier published work by Hartley's colleague, Professor Lawrence. Therefore in view of the fact that these passages were unattributed in Hartley's book. Hartley has been dishonest in not acknowledging the intellectual debt owed to Lawrence.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument is based?

(A) Hartley could not have written the new book without the passages in question.

(B) While writing the new book, Hartley had access to the manuscript of Lawrence s book.

(C) A book on moral philosophy should contain only material representing the author's own convictions.

(D) Lawrence did not get the ideas in the passages in Question or did not get their formulations originally from Hartley.

(E) Hartley considered the passages in question to be the best possible expressions of the ideas they contain.
我选B答案是D

25. George: A well-known educator claims that children who are read to when they are very young are more likely to enjoy reading when they grow up than are children who were not read to. But this claim is clearly false. My cousin Emory was regularly read to as a child and as an adult he seldom reads for pleasure, whereas no one read to me and reading is now my favorite form of relaxation.

Ursula: You and Emory prove nothing in this case. Your experience is enough to refute the claim that all avid adult readers were read to as children, but what the educator said about reading to children is not that sort of claim.

Which one of the following describes a flaw in Georges reasoning?

(A) He treats his own experience and the experiences of other members of his own family as though they have more weight as evidence than do the experiences of other people.

(B) He does not distinguish between the quality and the quantity of the books that adults read to Emory when Emory was a child.

(C) He overlooks the well-known fact that not all reading is equally relaxing.

(D) He fails to establish that the claim made by this particular educator accurately reflects the position held by the majority of educators.

(E) He attempts to refute a general claim by reference to nonconforming cases, although the claim is consistent with the occurrence of such cases. ]

lsat第8section 的第二套逻辑

shany

1.我选a. Dr.Kim的结论是such monitor-jog should be discontinued。并不是说E.F.M没有产生过作用，而是没必要继续。而Dr. Anders只提到其以往的成就。
2.比较明显的否认因果倒置的假设。B.有点象可行性假设，但Hartley 有多种方法接触 Lawrence， 仅manuscript绝不是必要条件。
2.D：未能建立该教育家的观点与大多数人的观点一致。明显无关。
E: 用未经确认的个例来反驳某观点，尽管该例子与观点并不抵触。
观点：如果儿童多听阅读，其成年后更可能喜爱阅读。重点在likely.所以个例不足以反驳。
