1.10 作业

1．完成情况：SC 18/30; CR 8/ 10; RC 4/5

疑问题：

SC 83.
Most state constitutions now mandate that the state budget be balanced each year.

(A) mandate that the state budget be balanced

(B) mandate the state budget to be balanced

(C) mandate that the state budget will be balanced

(D) have a mandate for a balanced state budget

(E) have a mandate to balance the state budget

I thought that mandate is a noun. So I chose E.

SC 100. Bihar is India’s poorest state, with an annual per capita income of $111, lower than in the most impoverished countries of the world.

(A) lower than in

(B) lower than that of

(C) and lower than that of

(D) which is lower than in

(E) which is lower than it is in

I thought the sentence should be x is lower than y, before the word lower, it can’t use a comma. I chose D.

CR 48. Some anthropologists study modern-day societies of foragers in an effort to learn about our ancient ancestors who were also foragers. A flaw in this strategy is that forager societies are extremely varied. Indeed, any forager society with which anthropologists are familiar has had considerable contact with modern, non-forager societies.

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the criticism made above of the anthropologists’ strategy?

(A) All forager societies throughout history have had a number of important features in common that are absent from other types of societies.

(B) Most ancient forager societies either dissolved or made a transition to another way of life.

(C) All anthropologists study one kind or another of modern-day society.

(D) Many anthropologists who study modern-day forager societies do not draw inferences about ancient societies on the basis of their studies.

(E) Even those modern-day forager societies that have not had significant contact with modern societies are importantly different from ancient forager societies.

I didn’t understand this question. I chose E.

最难题 OG SC-119
The decision by one of the nation’s largest banks to admit to $3 billion in potential losses on foreign loans could mean less lending by commercial banks to developing countries and increasing the pressure on multigovernment lenders to supply the funds.
(A) increasing the pressure
(B) the increasing pressure
(C) increased pressure
(D) the pressure increased
(E) the pressure increasing
受到ing的迷惑，以为此题强调的是压力增大这个过程，错选了A，实际上，less(adj.)+lending(n.)与increased(adj.)+pressure(n.)对称。顺便问一句，选项B在语法上是不是没有错误，只是形式上不对称而已？

疑问题 OG CR-68
When hypnotized subjects are told that they are deaf and are then asked whether they can hear the hypnotist, they reply, “No.” Some theorists try to explain this result by arguing that the selves of hypnotized subjects are dissociated into separate parts, and that the part that is deaf is dissociated from the part that replies.
Which of the following challenges indicates the most serious weakness in the attempted explanation described above?
(A) Why does the part that replies not answer, “Yes”?
(B) Why are the observed facts in need of any special explanation?
(C) Why do the subjects appear to accept the hypnotist’s suggestion that they are deaf?
(D) Why do hypnotized subjects all respond the same way in the situation described?
(E) Why are the separate parts of the self the same for all subjects?
这题整得挺玄乎的，用自己的下意识去选了A，对是对了，但讲不清理由，请教一下。

難題:OG SC.55

Low-income families are often unable to afford as mush

child care as they need.One government program would award

low-income families a refund on the income taxes they pay

of as much as $1000 for each child under age four.This program

would make it possible for all low-income families with children

under age four to obtain more child care than they ohterwise would

have been able to afford.

Which of the following,if true, most seriously calls

into question the claim that the program would make it

possible for all low-income families to obtain more child care?

(A) The average family with children under age four spend more than $1000 a year on child care.

(B)Some low-income families in which one of the parents is usually available to care for children under age four maynot want to spendtheir income tax refund on child care.

(C) The reduction in government revenues stemming from the income tax refund will necessitate cuts in other

government programs,such as grants for higher education.

(D) Many low-income families with children under age four do not pay any income taxes because their total income

is too low to be subjrct to such taxes.

(E) Income taxes have increased substantially over the past 20 years, reducing the money that low-income families

have available to spend on child care.

問

(B)Some low-income families in which one of the parents is usually

available to care for children under age four may not want to spend

their income tax refund on child care.

一看完題目，還沒看答案選項時，我就想到弱化的部分應該就是---父母領這些退款但沒用在照顧小孩身上。

我的思路為，政府退款給低收入戶就是因為低收入戶常無法提供小孩足夠的照顧。如果領到這些退款應該就可幫助低收入戶的給予小孩之前無法提供的。

因此，要弱化此部份，我思考應為--就算領到錢，卻不是用在小孩身上，如此就無法提供多的幫助給小孩。

就選了選項(B)。看完答案後是覺得(D)的確更明確插入主題=，但對於(B)選項我還是覺得不了解其未何無法弱化?麻煩高手解答啦。謝謝

因為他說催眠時，人會將自己區分至聽的到的部份和聾的部份。因此，當他們聽到催眠師的問題時，會用聽的到的部份回答，而催眠師問:你聽的到我嗎?照理來說:我們會說"聽的到"...但是他卻回答"聽不到"。這部份就不合邏輯，這樣我們就會懷疑，他們被催眠成為耳聾時到底聽的到還是聽不到吧?所以，針對回答"聽不到"的這個部份可做弱化。

ㄏㄏ，這是我個人的淺見啦。參考參考囉~~
