1.为什么C不能选呢？那什么才叫FINDING呢？

☆GWD3-Q2:

Hunter:  Hunters alone are blamed for the decline in Greenrock
                    National Forest’s deer population over the past ten years.  Yet clearly, black bears have also played an important role in this decline.  In the past ten years, the forest’s protected black bear population has risen sharply, and examination of black bears found dead in the forest during the deer hunting season showed that a number of them had recently fed on deer.

 

In the hunter’s argument, the boldface portion plays which of the following roles?

 

1. It is the main conclusion of the argument. 正确

2. It is an objection that has been raised against the main conclusion of the argument.

3. It is a judgment that the argument opposes.

4. It is a finding that the argument seeks to explain.

5. It provides evidence in support of the main conclusion of the argument.

2.关于DEFEND这个词，竟然是支持的意思啊？？？GWD5-Q20:

Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty.  It is commonly thought that this happens because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity.  However, studies show that a disproportionately large number of the scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty entered their field at an older age than is usual.  Since by the age of forty the large majority of scientists have been working in their field for at least fifteen years, the studies’ finding strongly suggests that the real reason why scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not that they have simply aged but rather that they generally have spent too long in a given field.

 

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

 

1. The first is an explanation that the argument defends;； the second is a finding that has been used to challenge that explanation.

  

defend 支持：支持或维护，如通过争辩或采取行动；为…辩护; 保卫：使安全或保持安全，没危险，不受攻击或伤害

☆GWD3-Q2:

Hunter:  Hunters alone are blamed for the decline in Greenrock
                National Forest’s deer population over the past ten years. {a topic or issue raised by Hunter}
 Yet clearly,
            black bears have also played an important role in this decline. {A argument or conclusion}
 In
the past ten years, the forest’s protected black bear population has
risen sharply, and examination of black bears found dead in the forest
during the deer hunting season showed that a number of them had
recently fed on deer. {Explanation or evidnce}

GWD5-Q20
Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty.  {a topic}
It is commonly thought that this happens because
            aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity.  {a common explanation of the topic; author against this explanation}
However, studies show that a
disproportionately large number of the scientists who produce highly
creative work beyond the age of forty entered their field at an older
age than is usual.  {Cite an evidence}
Since by the age of forty
the large majority of scientists have been working in their field for
at least fifteen years, {explanation of the evidence-Bold face 2}
the studies’ finding strongly suggests that the
real reason why scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative
work is not that they have simply aged but rather that they generally
have spent too long in a given field. { Author's conclusion or explanation for the topic}
