1         In two months, the legal minimum wage in the country of Kirlandia will increase fficeffice" />
from five Kirlandic dollars(KD5.00) Per hour to KD5.50 per hour. Opponents of
this increase have argued that the resulting rise in wages will drive the inflation
rate up. In fact its impact on wages will probably be negligible, since only a
very small proportion of all Kirfandic workers are currently receiving less than
KD5.50 per hour.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
    
A    Most people in kirlandia who are currently earning the minimum wage have
     been employed at their current jobs for less than a year.
B Some firms in Kirlandia have paid workers considerably less than KD5.00
     per hour, in violation of kirlandic employment regulations.
C     Many businesses hire trainees at or near the minimum wage but must
     reward trained workers by keeping their paylevels above the pay level
     of trainees.
    
D The greatest growth in Kirlandia’s economy in recent years has been in
         those sectors where workers earn wages that tend to be much higher
         than the minimum wage.
E The current minimum wage is insufficient for a worker holding only one job    
to earn enough to support a family ,even when working full time at that job.
        
I chose D, answer is B.




2     Springfield Fire Commissioner: the vast majority of false fire alarms
are prank calls made anonymously from fire alarm boxes on street
corners. Since virtually everyone has access to a private telephone,
these alarm boxes have outlived their usefulness. Therefore, we
propose to remove the boxes. Removing the boxes will reduce the
number of prank calls without hampering people’s ability to report a fire.
    
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim that the
proposal, if carried out, will have the announced effect?
    
A The fire department traces all alarm calls made from private tele-
phones and records where they came from.



C A telephone call can provide the fire department with more informa-
tion about the nature and size of a fire than can an alarm placed
from an alarm box.



D Responding to false alarms significantly reduces the fire depart-
ment’s capacity for responding to fires



I chose A, but answer is c

1,D是无关的选项，B说的还算有针对性。我倾向C


2,C说明了个人电话非但不会影响报火警，还会有帮助。A好像没什么道理的。

第一题我也选C。


第二题好像是A好呀。说false fire alarms 来自公用电话亭的匿名电话。问加强：


    Removing the boxes will reduce thefficeffice" />
number of prank calls without hampering people’s ability to report a fire.
    
    
A The fire department traces all alarm calls made from private tele-
phones and records where they came from.


照A说的，肯定不会有人用private telephone 打prank calls. 而真正有需要求救的人还是会打电话的，不是正好说明可以降低the number of prank calls without hampering people's ability to report a fire 吗？


C虽然说说明了好处，但是应该不是suppor that the claim has announced effects吧？

1. A,E无关；D支持；fficeffice" />

C：被培训者属于那些小时工资＜5.5刀的人，原文的small proportion已经考虑在内．　


B说有的工人应当拿＞5.5刀，只是公司违反了规定，所以这部分人原文的small proportion没考虑在内．所以加上这部分人，印象可能就不能被忽略了．


2.    

A取非后最能说明应当remove box.

D    尽管多数是误报，且降低反应能力．但还有少数是正确的报警. 因此不如A

谁能给解释一下第一题,


Opponents of this increase have argued that the resulting rise in wages will drive the inflation rate up. In fact its impact on wages will probably be negligible,


究竟是讨论wages 影响 inflation 还是 inflation 影响 wages 呀?


第二题我记的答案是A, 因为结论强调的是减少匿名报案. 请告诉我来源我可以再查一下

但是trained workers 工资必须比trainees 高。要提高trainees 的工资结果trained workers 工资也要增加。trainees 虽然少，但是trained 肯定不少。


B说有的工人应当拿＞5.5刀，只是公司违反了规定，所以这部分人原文的small proportion没考虑在内．所以加上这部分人，印象可能就不能被忽略了．


既然有公司已经违反规定，他们也可能继续违反规定，不给小于5.0的人涨工资呀？

第一题中，我还是不能支持B，因为题目中，结论是最低工资的上调不会造成通胀的压力或者说压力小到可以忽略，理由是只有很少的工人收入在上调后的最低工资以下。削弱它，有两个途径，一是削弱中间的论证，一是削弱论据。此题在削弱论据。


如果C代表的人群可以认为是SMALL PORTION的话，那么B代表的人群也是SMALL portion,关键是以什么去衡量。而且，我觉得，B代表的人群可能即使在最低工资上涨后他们的工资也不会上涨，C倒可能会上涨。

jnlvo

感觉第一题c有个不好：全文好像都在围绕的着the country of Kirlandia ，C没有给出这个范围。

tianwan

1，我选C，以前trainee大约拿到5元，trained拿到多于5元（5+x）；长了最低工资后，trainee大约拿到5.5元，trained拿到多于5.5元（5.5+x）。many表示有很多工厂，从而有很多trained会涨工资。而B的some对应very small portion，只是since之后内容的同意再现，不能理解为削弱since之后的内容，逻辑的提干里的内容都是对的，如果反题干的内容肯定是错的，只能找题干里没有的漏洞。
