T-7-11

In 1992 outlaw fishing boats began illegally harvesting lobsters from the territorial waters of the country of Belukia. Soon after, the annual tonnage of lobster legally harvested in Belukian waters began declining; in 1996, despite there being no reduction in the level of legal lobster fishing activity, the local catch was 9,000 tons below pre-1992 levels. It is therefore highly likely that the outlaw fishing boats harvested about 9,000 tons of lobster illegally that year.

 

 

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

 

 

1. The illegal lobster harvesting was not so expensive that the population of catchable lobsters in Belukia’s territorial waters had sharply declined by 1996

2. The average annual lobster catch, in tons, of an outlaw fishing boat is has increased steadily since 1992.

3. Outlaw fishing boats do not , as a group, harvest more lobsters than do licensed lobster-fishing boats.

4. The annual legal lobster harvest in Belukia in 1996 was not significantly less than 9,000 tons.

5. A significant proportion of Belukia’s operators of licensed lobster-fishing boats were out of business between 1992 and 1996

完全没看懂这道题...local catch比1992年以前少了9000吨了,为什么可以得出illegal catch大概是9000吨呢?

local catch是什么概念啊?

Which of the following, if true , most logically completes the passage?

 

A recent poll found that over 80 percent of the residents of Nalmed Province favored a massive expansion of the commuter rail system as a means of significantly easing congestion on the province’s highways and were willing to help pay for the expansion through an increase in their taxes. Nevertheless, the poll results indicate that expansion of the rail system, if successfully completed, would be unlikely to achieve its goal of easing congestion, because        .

 

1. most of people in favor of expanding the rail system reported less congestion during their highway commute as the primary benefit they would experience.

2. of the less than 20 percent of residents not counted as favoring the expansion, about half claimed to have no opinion one way or the other.

3. the twice-daily periods of peak congestion caused by people commuting in cars have grown from about an hour each to almost two and a half hours each in the past 20 years.

4. expanding the commuter rail system will require the construction of dozens of miles of new railroads.

5. the proposed expansion to the commuter rail system will make it possible for some people who both live and work at suburban locations to commute by rail.

我选的E, A为什么对啊>我都没看出它讲的什么名堂...
