Newspaper editorial:

In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditions harsher.Part of this effort has been to deny inmates监狱同住一起的人 the access they formerly had to college-level courses.However, this action is clearly counter to the governor's ultimate goal, since after being released from prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

A. Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed.

B. Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.

C. The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released.

D. Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate's subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.

E. The governor's ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime.

Unless tiger hunting decreases, tigers will soon be extinct in the wild.The countries in which the tigers' habitats are located are currently debating joint legislation that would ban tiger hunting.Thus, if these countries can successfully enforce this legislation, the survival of tigers in the wild will be ensured.

The reasoning in the argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that the argument

A. assumes without sufficient warrant that a ban on tiger hunting could be successfully enforced
B. considers the effects of hunting on tigers without also considering the effects of hunting on other endangered animal species

C. fails to take into account how often tiger hunters are unsuccessful in their attempts to kill tigers

D. neglects to consider the results of governmental attempts in the past to limit tiger hunting

E. takes the removal of an impediment to the tigers' survival as a guarantee of their survival

117.(30804-!-item-!-188;#058&005538)(GWD 3-Q32) 这道，是不是选C？

理由：
A: Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison 原文没有提到，讨论的范围不对。

B:  Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.这是一个新的比较，原文没有提过。general population更是没提，起不到作用。

C: The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released. 所用来比较的两种人，原文都提到过。并且整个选项的性质是inmates犯罪可能性大小，和原文的性质相符。

D: Taking high school level courses in prison是新事件，导致比较的范围不对。

E: 整个选项的性质是“政府的真实目标是什么”，和原文整体性质不符。

所以选C

有一点很重要，做逻辑题的时候，要把原文的“事件”及其性质记住，而不是追求读懂逻辑。比选项时，读选项的整体性质，同样也不是纠结与选项的逻辑关系。

还有一点很重要，假设题的答案，85%以上是句子的主题部分有转折词的。

112.(32826-!-item-!-188;#058&006832)(GWD 8-Q38)  这题选E，对吧？

理由：
A. 显然胡扯。原文说的是if these countries can successfully enforce this legislation，即the survival of tigers in the wild will be ensured是已经建立在successfully这个前提上的。而选项质疑了successfully的前提，显然是无关选项。

B. other endangered animal species跟讨论话题无关。

C. how often tiger hunters are unsuccessful显然也跟我们讨论的东西无关。

D.从“in the past”可以看出，这个选项在时间范围上和原文无关。过去怎么样跟现在怎么样是毫无关系的！

E. 这个选项很好。原文讨论的就是an impediment to the tigers' survival。而这个选项就是质疑了，是否这个impediment消除了，那tiger就survive了呢？这才是原文的症结所在。这个选项的整体性质，和原文的整体性质相同。

Jenlleans

120.(32170-!-item-!-188;#058&006359)(GWD 8-Q40)  选B

归纳题。

原文读出三件事：1973-1976年，美国总香烟消费量上升某百分点，烟草总销售量上升某百分点，美国总人口上升某百分点。

看选项：

A. 说的是收益问题，原文没题。只要原文没提的事件性质，别自己琢磨，马上仍掉。

B. 别自己去琢磨到底上升了还是下降了，你看这个选项，讨论的是Per capita consumption of cigarettes的升降，而原文既谈到consumption of cigarettes，又谈到total population（per capita consumption不就是这两者得出的么），因此选项整体性质和原文的整体性质一致，留下。

C. 说不吸烟的人数比例。马上扔掉，理由同A

D. 还是收益问题，扔。

E. 说的是美国烟民偏好的转变问题，原文性质没有提过，马上扔。

所以选B

总结：千万不要自信于自己的逻辑。考场上我们很难有自己的逻辑。我们要做到的是读出选项的整体性质，然后看和原文提到的事件是否沾边。沾边的就留下来，不沾的直接扔掉。另外，判断是否沾边不是靠自己去琢磨，而要看原文有没有提到，要做到“只要原文没说过，我们就假装什么都不知道”。
