T-3-Q8.

The number of applications for teaching positions in Newtown

’s public schools was 5.7 percent lower in 1993 than in 1985 and 5.9 percent lower in 1994 than in 1985. despite a steadily growing student population and an increasing number of teacher resignations, however, Newtown

does not face a shortage in the late 1990’s.

Which of the following, if true, would contribute most to an explanation of the apparent discrepancy above?

A.Many of Newtown

’s public school students do not graduate from high school

B.New housing developments planned for Newtown are (shared) for occupancy in 1987 and are expected to increase the number of elementary school students in Newtown

’s public

C.The Newtown

school board does not contemplate increasing the ratio of students to teachers in the 1990’s.

D.Teachers’ colleges in and near Newtown

produced lower graduates in 1994 than in 1993

E.In 1993 Newtown

’s public schools received 40 percent more applications for teaching positions than there were positions available.
答案：e 为什么c不对呢？

Q32

A theory is either true or false. Galileo’s observations of Jupiter’s satellites showed that the Ptolemaic theory of the motion of celestial bodies is false. Therefore, since the Copernican theory of planetary motion is inconsistent with the Ptolemaic account, Galileo’s observations of Jupiter’s satellites proved the truth of the Copernican theory.

The argument above is open to the objection that it makes the questionable assumption that

A.Whoever first observed something inconsistent with the truth of the Ptolemaic theory should be credited with having proved that theory false.

B.There are some possible observations that would be inconsistent with the account given by the Copernican theory but consistent with the account given by the Ptolemaic theory.

C.The Ptolemaic and Copernican theories, being inconsistent, cannot both be based on exactly the same evidence

D.Numerous counterexamples were necessary in order to show the Ptolemaic theory to be false

E.The Ptolemaic and Copernican theories, being inconsistent, cannot both be false.

答案：e

C.The Newtown school board does not contemplate increasing the ratio of students to teachers in the 1990’s.

D.Teachers’ colleges in and near Newtown produced lower graduates in 1994 than in 1993

E.In 1993 Newtown’s public schools received 40 percent more applications for teaching positions than there were positions available.
答案：e 为什么c不对呢？

c的问题在于，保持当前师生比例不变的话，根据题意中的a steadily growing student population and an increasing number of teacher resignations仍然会导致教师不足，因此无法解决这个discrepancy。

Q32

这道题需要使用一些常理了。题目的逻辑是：A是错误的，B与A不一样，所以B是正确的。但是现实中针对同一个主题存在大量的错误理论，而正确理论通常只有一个。否则爱迪生也就不用那么辛苦做那么多次实验了，错了一次第二次肯定就对。e选项表达的就是这个意思，与错误的观点不一致的观点不一定就是正确的观点。
