Argument：

11. The following appeared in the editorial section of a local newspaper.

“In the first four years that Montoya has served as mayor of the city of San Perdito, the population has decreased and the unemployment rate has increased. Two businesses have closed for each new business that has opened. Under Varro, who served as mayor for four years before Montoya, the unemployment rate decreased and the population increased. Clearly, the residents of San Perdito would be best served if they voted Montoya out of office and reelected Varro.”

地方性报纸的编者按：
   
在Montoya当San Perdito市长的头4年里，人口下降而失业率上升。每当一个新企业开业，就有两个旧的关门。而在Montoya之前Uarro当市长的4年里，失业率下降人口增长。很明显，San Perdito的居民重新选举Varro而非Montoya会得到更好的服务。

1.       It is fallacious reasoning unless other possible casual explanations have been considered and ruled out. recession depression downturn低迷时期 is part of a picture of ... mayor

2.       set the stage for Yet another possibility is that Varro enjoyed a period of economic stability and Varro's own administration set the stage for the unemployment and the decline in population .

3.       availability emotionally intentionally specific specifically anger angry citizen thereby bypass

4.       cast one's vote for sb. eliminate abolish casual emotional appeal

63. The following appeared as part of an article in the business section of a local newspaper.

“The Cumquat Café made a mistake in moving to a new location. After one year at the new spot, it is doing about the same volume of business as before, but the owners of the RoboWrench plumbing supply wholesale outlet that took over its old location are apparently doing better: RoboWrench is planning to open a store in a neighboring city.”

Discuss how well reasoned... etc.

地方报纸的商业版：
       
Cumquat咖啡店搬到新地址是个错误。到新址的一年以后，它的营业额和以前基本一样。但在它的原址开业的提供铅管批发出口的Robo Wrench的店主显然做的更好。Robo Wrench正计划在临近城市开一家店。

1.       False analogy

2.       Other factors other than location that may contribute to the faliure of the Cumquat Cafe should be considered and ruled out.

3.       Likewise, there may be some other factors that will explain the success of the success of the RoboWrench plumbing.

4.       One year's poor performance is too wake an evidence to conclude that the Cafe has made a mistake to relocate.

9.The following appeared in a memorandum to a team developing accounting software for SmartPro Software, Inc.:

“Currently, more professional accountants use SmartPro accounting software than any other brand. However, in the market for personal accounting software for non-professionals to use in preparing their income tax returns, many of our competitors are outselling us. In surveys, our professional customers repeatedly say that they have chosen SmartPro Software because our most sophisticated software products include more advanced special features than competing brands. Therefore, the most effective way for us to increase sales of our personal accounting software for home users would clearly be to add the advanced special features that our professional software products currently offer.”

Discuss how well reasoned . . .etc.

The following appeared in a newspaper story giving advice about investments:

“As overall life expectancy continues to rise, the population of our country is growing increasingly older. For example,

more than 20 percent of the residents of one of our more populated regions are now at least 65 years old, and

occupancy rates at resort hotels in that region declined significantly during the past six months. Because of these two

related trends, a prudent investor would be well advised to sell interest in hotels and invest in hospitals and nursing

homes instead.”

Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc.

52. The following editorial appeared in the Elm City paper.

“The construction last year of a shopping mall in downtown Oak City was a mistake. Since the mall has opened, a number of local businesses have closed, and the downtown area suffers from an acute parking shortage, and arrests for crime and vagrancy have increased in the nearby Oak City Park. Elm City should pay attention to the example of the Oak City mall and deny the application to build a shopping mall in Elm City.”(新题)

Discuss how well reasoned... etc.

“The construction of last year of a shopping mall in downtown Oak City has done little for the residents of the community. Since the mall has opened, a number of local businesses have closed, and the downtown area suffers from an acute parking shortage. In addition, because the mall’s owner lives in nearby Elm City, the profits derived from sales at the mall are not being returned to the community. These problems, coupled with the increase in trash and litter in nearby Oak City park, demonstrate that Oak City did not use good judgment in allowing the construction of the mall in the first place.”(老题)

Elm城的报纸上的社论：
                                    
去年在橡树城市中心修建购物中心是个错误。由于中心开业，大量的本地企业倒闭了。而且市中心受到严重缺乏停车位的困扰。在附近的橡树城公园拘捕的罪犯和流浪汉也增加了。榆树城应该注意橡树城购物中心的例子并防止在榆树城建立购物中心。

1.       作者所给出的所有问题和商场的建设都是时间上的前后关系而没有给出证据显示他们的因果关系

2.       作者只给出了不好的结果而没有给出好的影响很可能权衡利弊之后被选择的是要开这个商场

3.       这个商场的建立不应该也不能由此就否定以后所有的商场的建立

54. “Popular entertainment is overly influenced by commercial interests. Superficiality, obscenity, and violence

characterize films and television today because those qualities are commercially successful.”

Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with this opinion. To support your position, use reasons and/or

examples from your reading, your observations, or your experiences as a consumer of popular entertainment.
       

“大众娱乐被商业利益过多的影响了。浮浅，淫秽和暴力充斥今天的电影和电视，因为这些特征在商业上很成功。”
      
讨论你在何种程度上赞成或不赞成上述观点。从你自身作为大众娱乐的消费者的经验，观察和阅读给出相关的原因and/or例子来支持你的观点。
      

60. “Employers should have no right to obtain information about their employees’ health or other aspects of their personal lives without the employees’ permission.”

“没有雇员的同意时，雇主应该没有权力去了解他的雇员的健康状况和其他的私人生活方面的信息。”
        

1，     员工的私人生活状况，很可能影响工作效率。productivity and turnover，所以雇主有理由关心。比如，健康问题，良好的健康状况显然是保障正常稳定生产的基础，雇主付出相同的钱，expect to get certain productivity. 而员工隐瞒健康状况，造成的低效率高成本，会使公司suffer。在雇佣时拥有对称的信息，很重要。

2，     同时，员工的私人状况，如果会危害到其他员工，那么应该有权得这知。比如，健康状况，犯罪的历史等等重大事件。健康，会infect other employee/ 暴力 history of crimes violence 很可能会对其他的员工造成伤害。这些都是必须要知道的。

3，        但有一些其他的私人生活，与工作效率无关，而且不是threat to others。employer 没有权力获取。比如，婚姻状况marital status, religion, race…这些都应该是员工自愿提供的with permission，而不能强制获得force。

这是题库30题

注明一下吧 MM辛苦了 另外接下来能不能统计一下每题出现的次数呀 thx~

许晏如

我找不到啊，谁能提供一下思路，关于软件那题

圆妹

1. survey methodology: 调查提供的是专业用户的反馈，无法代表普通个体用户的心声。

2. false analogy. 普通个体户的软件不能套用专业用户软件的成功模式。如专业软件注重功能齐全，而普通软件注重的是实用，操作简单

3. sufficient condition. 错误地认为只用提高性能就能提高销售额。但价格、质量、售后服务等因素也不容忽视。

 

说实话，这三点之间有些重复。。期待一个更清晰的思路^^

ISSUE：

81. “No one can possibly achieve any real and lasting success or ‘get rich’ in business by conforming to conventional practices or ways of thinking.”

“没有人能在遵循传统的实践和思维方式的情况下达到任何真正的持久的成功或在做生意中‘变富’（get rich）。”
   

1.     A conformist can achieve any real success especially lasting success. Real and lasting success needs innovation and hard work. Just to conform does not make any sense. Through imitating others, one can only become an artisan-painter rather than an artist; without any innovation, a scientific worker can never be acknowledged as a scientist.

2.     Likewise, no one can "get rich" in business merely conform to the existing practices.

3.     However, what I mentioned above does not mean that conventions have no value at all. We should not only know the conventions but also have a deep insight of it, thus getting the information of the domain that indicates what kind of innovation can be made and how make.

ARGUMENT:

106. The following appeared as part of a business plan by the Capital Idea Investment firm.

“Currently more and more books are becoming available in electronic form — either free of charge on the Internet or for a very low price per book on CD-ROM.* People who would not pay bookstore prices will now have access to whatever book they want from their home or work computers. Consequently, literary classics are likely to be read more widely than ever before: 72 percent of those responding to a recent online survey said they would read books in electronic form, and 81 percent said they believed that reading classic works was important. Given this newly developing market, we should invest in E-Classics, a new company that sells electronic versions of literary classics.”

*A CD-ROM is a small portable disc capable of storing relatively large amounts of data that can be read by a computer.

报纸的图书版的文章：
   
现在越来越多的书有了电子版，或者放在网上免费获得，或者在光盘上以很低的价格出售。因此文学经典可以得到比以前更广泛的阅读。不能以书店价格购买这些书的人现在可以用很少的钱或者不花钱来阅读他们。类似的，觉得去图书馆或者等待其他人还书不方便的人现在可以通过家里或者工作用的电脑得到他想要的任何名著。这和文学名著接触的增长将从根本上影响公众的阅读品味，塑造比以前更成熟更博学的读者。

1.       More accesses to cheaper books do not necessarily guarantee the desire to read classics.

2.       the survey is doubtful

3.       It is hard to make profit when there are so many E-books available on the net.
