问OG12一题CR102

豁然开朗阿～～

开始纠结了半天consideration,不太懂题目的意思
但其实A,B,C,E都可以因为irrelevant排除,而通过读题能看出一个16C和18C的little gap
而D又搭桥填补了这个gap
我也认为这是个Assumption题,因为D选项的必要性
tradition that had begun in 16C Italy为16C和18C搭桥

小呆呆

问题问的是句子作用。Considerations表示Although the actor who plays Harlequin the clown gives a performance very reminiscent of the twentieth-century American comedian Groucho Marx, Marx’s comic style was very much within the comic acting tradition that had begun in sixteenth-century Italy.
best serve as part of an argument that 表明although后面句子对上文的作用。所以用了serve。
作用很明显D。

N久之后再看这道题目居然无比清晰，哎……
我对题目的理解是：以上的这段话可以作为一下哪个论题的论据和论点，换言之，上面说的话可以证明下面哪个陈述是对的

一语中的，强悍。
读懂这句话，发现选项都清晰无比。
说白了这题就是要你找must be true的选项。

一醉一陶然

谢谢！明白了！

8.6 Critical Reasoning Answer Explanations
102. Theater Critic: The play La Finestrina, now at Central Theater, was written in Italy in the eighteenth century. The
director claims that this production is as similar to the original production as is possible in a modern theater.
Although the actor who plays Harlequin the clown gives a performance very reminiscent of the twentieth-century
American comedian Groucho Marx, Marx’s comic style was very much within the comic acting tradition that had
begun in sixteenth-century Italy.
The considerations given best serve as part of an argument that
(A) modern audiences would fi nd it hard to tolerate certain characteristics of a historically accurate
performance of an eighteenth-century play
(B) Groucho Marx once performed the part of the character Harlequin in La Finestrina
(C) in the United States the training of actors in the twentieth century is based on principles that do not differ
radically from those that underlay the training of actors in eighteenth-century Italy
(D) the performance of the actor who plays Harlequin in La Finestrina does not serve as evidence against the
director’s claim
(E) the director of La Finestrina must have advised the actor who plays Harlequin to model his performance on
comic performances of Groucho Marx
导演说，LF这部剧呢，极大程度的复原了这部剧在18世纪原产时的原汁原味，而实际演出效果呢，小丑H的表演风格根二十世纪美国喜剧演员GM很像，而GM的演出风格可以追溯到十六世纪意大利。
这是我对原文的理解。
如何理解问题这句话The considerations given best serve as part of an argument that
D说演员的表演不能成为反驳导演的证据，言外之意，演员的表演切合了当初导演的声称，是吧。
我不理解的地方是我觉得在16世纪意大利的表演风格和18世纪意大利的表演风格之间没有连接啊……，18世纪的LF这部剧的original production可以通过导演的话link到现在的Central Theater上演的LF这部剧，而现在在central theater上演的LF剧，可以通过演员的表演连接到美国演员GM，进而连接到十六世纪意大利。
信息链到此为止，我凭什么可以相信16世纪的和18世纪意大利的表演风格一样呢？如果一个像希区柯克，一个像吴宇森呢？！那这个当中还是有inconsistency不是？！
望高人解答。万分感谢……

首先，这个题干的意思是：
LF这部剧写于18世纪。目前在现代剧院上演，导演说，这部剧尽可能的保持了与原创相一致（虽然是现代上演），尽管演H的这个演员让人想起了20世纪的演员Marx。（言下之意，可能weaken保持最开始的风格的这个claim）
紧接着，题干解释，Marx的风格是从于一种自16世纪就开始的意大利喜剧传统的。（言下之意，虽然Marx人是20世纪的，但风格是传统的，所以化解了上面的可能的weaken）
至于你问的，16世纪到18世纪的linkage，见于“tradition that had
begun in sixteenth-century Italy”。注意这个词tradition

Step one of the Kaplan method tells us to read the question stem, and then to determine the kind of question that it is. The question stem:

“The considerations given best serve as part of an argument that”

Okay, so there are considerations given (by the author) leading up to an argument. The “considerations given” is evidence, and the question wants us to determine the author’s main point, or conclusion. We call this type of question a “main point” question.

Step two is to analyze the stimulus: Normally, we identify a conclusion by looking for words like “thus, therefore, hence, etc.” .... BUT, in a main point question, we actually don’t want to be attracted by those kind of words-they are put there by the test-maker because they know you will naturally be attracted to them in a main point question.

Instead, in a main point question, the author’s main point will often be signalled by a contrast keyword such as “but,” “however,” “while,” or, “although.”

In the passage of this question, we learn of the director’s claim in the second sentence. The director’s claim is that their reproduction of the play is a lot like the original play. The next sentence starts with the word “although.” Here, the function of “although” is to dismiss potential counter-evidence against the director’s claim: the fact that the actor is like 20th century Groucho Marx could be used against the director’s claim (that the reproduction is a faithful representation of the original 16th century version.)

So from the word “although,” and using some critical reasoning, we can determine that the author’s intent in arguing is to defend the director’s claim against evidence that could go against it (against the director’s claim).

Step three of the method is to make a prediction of the right answer. Say to yourself: “The author is defending the director. The author’s main point is that the director’s claim is correct.”

Step four is to aggressively scan for a match to the prediction. Because we spent so much time generating the prediction, and because we don’t care about wrong answers and why they are wrong, we scan for a choice that matches our insight.

Then, choice D is correct.

顶一下buffonjuventus
但，我觉得这应该是conclusion的题，而不是assumption.

刚开始的时候这道题的题干我是真没读懂。因此不知道该题应该属于哪个分类。The considerations given best  ...
