1月29号一战的，成绩不理想，所以即使很长时间没有收到任何关于AWA分数的邮件，也没有着急，有点无所谓的感觉。三天前经过发邮件询问，才收到那个有链接可以查分数的邮件，刚刚查到竟然是6分，考完这么久，麻木了已经。
也用了模板，是花了一天时间在几个经典模板基础上组合修改而成的，可一直到考试我都没有完整的背下来。但因为考前曾经看过黄金题80篇范文，又把06年新的黄金题库和题纲都看过一遍，并且特别背了背其中认为较常用的词组，所以考试的时候遇到的题目不陌生，写起来也挺流畅的，模板只是有个印象。
模板就不分享了，分享一下作文备考中的另两个总结吧：OG逻辑解释中的句子、范文中的词组。
CR句子（蓝字部分是可以直接套用的）
时地全等:
1. The argument is based on the current situation, but present conditions need not continue in the future if they can be improved. What if oil tankers can be redesigned so that they pose less risk of an oil spill? In that case, the argument is weakened because…
忽略他因:
2. A conclusion may be weakened when another explanation at least as compelling as the original is offered. Coffee consumption may have decreased over the decade for some reason other than consumers’ awareness of the adverse health effects of caffeine. If the price of coffee has increased in the same period that consumption has decreased, then the decrease may well be the result of consumers’ attention to price rather than their attention to health. Higher prices would offer a good alternative explantion that would weaken the original explanation.
3. If a factor other than the economy could account for the differences in agricultural production, then the argument is weakened. If the two countries grow different kinds of crops that may react differently to the same climatic conditions, then the types of crops, rather than economy, could be responsible for the differences in production.
4. The argument directly attributes increased productivity to the existence of PRP contracts. Any information that other factors might have contributed to the increase in productivity would weaken the argument.
If production equipment was modernized during the same period that the new contracts took effect, then it is possible that the modernized equipment was responsible for the higher level of productivity.
5. The journalists assumes that the researchers’ lack of access to the accelerators is responsible for the decline in the number of articles. What else could explain fewer articles? What if the decline is due, not to the availability of the accelerators for experiments, but to policies regarding publishing articles related to such experiments? An alternate explanation is that changes in the editorial policies of physics journals, rather than the effect of the out-of-service accelerators, could well re responsible for the lower number of published articles about particle-accelerator research.
错误类比:
6. Since the company reporting the greater number of job-related accidents also considers more types of accidents to be job-related, the basis of the comparison is weakened and so is the argument.
无理假设:
7. The argument assumes that any problem with a product would cause a bottleneck or a delay in production. It is entirely possible that there might be flaws that might not cause such problems; thus the assumption is questionable.
8. The conclusion relies upon the supposition that lawyers who currently advertise charge the consumer less than other lawyers for the same legal services. What if this does not continue to hold true? If more lawyers begin to advertise, they may not charge any less for their services than they did previously, and they are, given the supposition, likely to be more expensive than those who currently advertise. In this case, increasing the number of lawyers who advertise would not lower overall consumer legal costs.
9. What assumption does Sharon make in putting together her argument? Sharon
makes an equalizing statement about people and their acquaintance when she points that, if an average person knows 50 workers, at least one of them is likely to be unemployed. Sharon’s generalization must assume that this is the case equally throughout the country and that unemployment is not concentrated in some geographically isolated areas.
样本不足:
10. The conclusion is based on an upward trend that is derived from data for two years. Data from only two years provide rather weak evidence of a trend. Additional evidence that provides a context for the annual inflation rates during the most recent two-year period will promote a more solid evaluation of this prediction of next year’s inflation rate.
If inflation has recently been stable at 4 percent, and the temporary drop the previous year is accounted for by lower oil prices, then the basis for the prediction seems quite weak.
11. The argument is weak because it makes a generalization on the basis of only one example. Any example of a volcanic eruption that was not followed by a cooling of the asmosphere weakens this argument. The example of the eruption of El in 1982, which resulted in higher than normal air temperatures, contradicts the generalization of cooler temperatures following volcanic eruptions.
12. The argument generalize from the number of last year’s job-related accidents at the two companies to a continuing reduced likelihood of such accidents at the one company. Specific information that suggests that the one company is inherently a safer place than the other would support the generalized argument.
13. The argument moves from a particular sample, that is, the percentage of vehicles ticketed for exceeding the speed limit that were equipped with radar detectors, to a generalization about the regular driving behaviors of all drivers who have radar detectors in their vehicles. Between the example and the generalization must stand an assumption. What can the assumption be? Only if the drivers ticketed in this instance are assumed to make a regular habit of exceeding the speed limit can the conclusion be drawn that drivers with radar detectors are more likely to do so regularly than drivers who are not ticketed.
其它:
14. The conclusion concerns the broad category of “use” while the evidence is related to a specific activity.
15. Whenever a word such as “immediate” is part of an argument, it is wise to be alert. Given the comparison with the standard keyboard, it is logical that over the longer term the EFCO keyboard will save money. What problems might there be initially that would counteract the possibility of immediate savings? Personnel must first be retrained on the new EFCO keyboard, and it is possible that the costs of the training could offset any short-term savings. If the more experience employees have had with the standard keyboard, the more costly the initial training, then adopting the new keyboard could have high short-term costs that preclude immediate savings.
16. Consider how the environmentalist structures the argument. The environmentalist describes the commissioner’s argument as specious, or deceptive, and then uses an analogy to rain forests to demonstrate that the commissioner’s argument is built on false premises.
17. Any financial plan is based on estimates of costs and revenues, and any factor that significantly increases costs or lowers revenues threatens the effectiveness of that plan.
