lsat 16 (2.1) questions

[face=Georgia]6. As far as we know, Earth is the only planet on which life has evolved, and all known life forms are carbon-based. Therefore, although there might exist noncarbon-based life on planets very unlike Earth, our scientific estimates of the probability of extraterrestrial life should be generated from estimates of the number of planets like Earth and the likelihood of carbon-based life on those planets.

Which one of the following general principles most strongly supports the recommendation?

(A) There is no good reason to think that unobserved phenomena closely resemble those that have been observed.

(8) A scientific theory that explains a broad range of phenomena is preferable to a competing theory that explains only some of those phenomena.

(C) It is preferable for scientists to restrict their studies to phenomena that are observable and forego making estimates about unobservable things.

(D) A scientific theory that explains observed phenomena on the basis of a few principles that are independent of each other is preferable to a theory that explains those same phenomena on the basis of many independent principles.

(E) Estimations of probability that are more closely tied to what is known are preferable to those that are less closely tied to what is known.

我选C,觉得C说的更加合理。E是答案是如何反映原文的。



Consumer advocate: The toy-labeling law should require manufacturers to provide explicit safety labels on toys to indicate what hazards the toys pose. The only labels currently required by law are labels indicating the age range for which a toy is intended. For instance, a "three and up" label is required on toys that pose a choking hazard for children under three years of age. Although the current toy-labeling law has indeed reduced the incidence of injuries to children from toys, parents could prevent such injuries almost entirely if toy labels provided explicit safety information.

10. Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the consumer advocate's argument:

(A) Certain types of toys have never been associated with injury to children.

(B) Most parents believe that the current labels are recommendations regarding level of cognitive skill.

(C) The majority of children injured by toys are under three years of age.

(D) Many parents do not pay attention to manufacturers' labels when they select toys for their children.

(E) Choking is the most serious hazard presented to children by toys.

这是一个加强题目。我选E答案是B,B是如何加强原文的?我觉得B是一个无关的答案。


14. Although inflated government spending for weapons research encourages waste at weapons research laboratories, weapons production plants must be viewed as equally wasteful of taxpayer dollars. After all, by the government's own admission, the weapons plant it plans to reopen will violate at least 69 environmental, health, and safety laws. The government has decided to reopen the plant and exempt it from compliance, even though the weapons to be produced there could be produced at the same cost at a safer facility.

The reasoning in the argument is most vulnerable to criticism on which one of the following grounds?

(A) It offers no evidence that the "safer'" alternative production site actually complies with any of the jaws mentioned.

(8) It concedes a point regarding weapons research laboratories that undermines its conclusion about weapons production plants.

(C) It relies on evidence that does not directly address the issue of wasteful spending.

(D) It confuses necessary expenditures for research with wasteful spending on weapons

(E) It fails to establish that research laboratories and weapons production plants are similar enough to be meaningfully compared.

这个题目当时做的时候就放弃了,觉得太难了。这个题目可否分析一下。[/face]

1 原文说的是“因为地球生命有这种性质,所以我们的研究应该倾向与和地球相似的星球,因为这个可能大”
C说研究应该局限于可观察的现象。。。原文根本没提到observable这个词。。如果你的observable是因为地球is observable推出来的。。所以原文要观察的对象不是“obserbable"

E  Estimations of probability that are more closely tied to what is known are preferable to those that are less closely tied to what is known.
正是强调了原文的对比

2。原文的意思是说”现在玩具上的安全提示信息太简单了,没有详细说明。还举了例子说明。然后得出结论,如果信息更详细些,安全事故就可以差不多完全避免了“

B说很多家长认为现在的安全信息都是想象得到危险。。言下之意,很多潜在的危险没有列出来。所以是在支持。。。B这里并不是主观的看法。。而是客观的事实。。所以不是无关

E是无关。因为choking是不是最危险和文章的结论无关。。

我选C

原文看得有点怪。。但是我看大概意思是: 作者本来想说工厂浪费纳税人钱(第一句话),后来举的例子扯到了a safer facilities...安全问题了。。所以例子不能支持观点。

谢谢albert精彩地回答!

有个问题就是那个加强的题目:(B) Most parents believe that the current labels are recommendations regarding level of cognitive skill.

你怎么认为是B说“很多家长认为现在的安全信息都是想象得到危险”?我没有读出原文是这个意思。请再解释一下好吗?

(B) Most parents believe that the current labels are recommendations regarding level of cognitive skill.
很多父母认为当前的标签上的建议是认知水平上的技术(也即都知道的技术)

补充一点
(B) Most parents believe that the current labels are recommendations regarding level of cognitive skill.
大多数家长认为产品标签上只是关于认知水平的一个推荐(并不是所谓的安全提示)
正如例子中提到的标签上说明适合3岁以上小孩玩(3岁以上小孩的智力水平)
同时说明labels have not explictly safety information
因此加强了结论.
