以下是引用ambrosecelin在2008-4-17 8:42:00的发言:
又来麻烦了... PREP2-17 At present the Hollywood Restaurant has only standard-height tables. However, many customers come to watch the celebrities who frequent the Hollywood, and they would prefer tall tables with stools because such seating would afford a better view of the celebrities. Moreover, diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners seated at standard-height tables. Therefore, if the Hollywood replaced some of its seating with high tables and stools, its profits would increase. The argument is vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it gives reason to believe that it is likely that (A) some celebrities come to the Hollywood to be seen, and so might choose to sit at the tall tables if they were available (B) the price of meals ordered by celebrities dining at the Hollywood compensates for the longer time, if any, they spend lingering over their meals (C) a customer of the Hollywood who would choose to sit at a tall table would be an exception to the generalization about lingering (D) a restaurant's customers who spend less time at their meals typically order less expensive meals than those who remain at their meals longer (E) with enough tall tables to accommodate all the Hollywood's customers interested in such seating, there would be no view except of other tall tables 我在C(正确答案)和E之间选了E,不知道我是意思理解错了还是没把握好 原文说,客人觉得tall tables可以提供更好的视野且,坐tall table的人比做standard table的人留在坐位上的时间更长,所以多设置tall tables可以提高营业收入;事后看C,觉得它说得也挺有道理的,因为它就是针对那些坐tall table的人说明的一种情况;可是E后半句让我产生混淆,我觉得既然影响到了other tall tables,那这个other tall tables应该也是在这个restraunt里的,这样不是也影响了profit吗? 好像思考方向哪里又出了点问题...麻烦点拨..还有4天就考了...谢谢。。
1.理解E的意思就明白E无关: 有足够的TALL TABLES给感兴趣的顾客,除TALL TABLES有VIEW外外,坐在其他类型座位的顾客就没有VIEW啦. 其它座位的情况和原文推理无关.不要将原文的EXCEPT丢了. 2.C关键在于理解GENERALIZATION指的是什么: 它其实指原文这句话diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners seated at standard-height tables |
