Q32:

A major chemical spill occurred five years ago at Baker’s Beach, the world’s sole nesting ground for Merrick sea turtles, and prevented nearly all the eggs laid that year from hatching.  Yet the number of adult female Merricks returning to lay their eggs at Baker’s Beach has actually increased somewhat since five years ago.  Clearly, environmentalists’ prediction that the world’s Merrick population would decline as a result of the spill has proven unfounded.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument offered in refutation of the environmentalists’ prediction?

(D)x

A.      The chemical spill five years ago occurred at a time when there were neither Merrick sea turtles nor Merrick sea turtle eggs on Baker’s Beach.

B.       Female Merrick sea turtles begin returning to Baker’s Beach to lay their eggs when they are ten years old.

C.      Under normal conditions, only a small proportion of hatchling female Merrick sea turtles survive in the ocean until adulthood and return to lay their eggs at Baker’s Beach.

D.      Environmental pressures unrelated to the chemical spill have caused a significant decline in the population of one of the several species of sea birds that prey on Merrick sea turtle eggs.

E.       After the chemical spill, an environmental group rejected a proposal to increase the Merrick sea turtle population by transferring eggs from Baker’s Beach to nearby beaches that had not been affected by the spill.

The answer is B. I think the logic gap in this question is insane and huge.

这个题目我想了超久，哈哈，不知道对不对，削弱题目，主要是削弱结论：这个题目的结论是，作者认为环境学家的预言是不对的。因为成年女龟下蛋数量since 5

 years ago增加了。选项B中说  Female Merrick sea turtles begin returning to Baker’s Beach to lay their eggs when they are ten years old.这个貌似是说，女龟要takes10年才能回去下蛋，如果是这样的话，那么前面用来驳斥环境学家的那个论据就有问题了。感觉那个论据since five years ago，这个好像不大对劲。我也不是很明白，你再看看？我的意思是说，如果能够说明作者驳斥人家的论据有问题，那么就是削弱了他的驳斥，削弱了结论。

Their returning when they are ten years old is saying that the return of the animal was becasue it's time for them to return, not becasuse there is no pollution. Therefore, it weakens the refutation to the environmentalist's argument.

It's just the logic is too far away and it's really hard to come up an answer when you first look at the question

偶来试试，逻辑偶还没开始呢，汗~

结论是：   那帮人的预言即海滩被污染的5年后，到海滩产蛋的女龟没有减少。

B是说，女龟长到10岁才来产蛋。也就是说5年前由于污染而减少的女龟现在还不到产蛋的年龄，来产蛋的都是以前的老龟。

OG-101

101. Even though the direct costs of malpractice disputes amounts to a sum lower than one percent of the $541 billion the nation spent on health care last year, doctors say fear of lawsuits plays a major role in health-care inflation.

(A) amounts to a sum lower 主语是costS 主谓不一致 同A

(B) amounts to less 同A

(C) amounted to less 数量用less不用lower 如果是number才用lower

(D) amounted to lower（C）

(E) amounted to a lower sum

这道题，前半句是什么意思啊？后半句里的宾语从句里是不是省略了that？

前半句让步:尽管某某 malpractice的纠纷costs  比去年国家花在health care 541billon的百分之一 还少，医生们说害怕吃官司是health-care inflation的主要原因
