Q11:

In general, jobs are harder to get in times of economic recession because many businesses cut back operations.  However, any future recessions in Vargonia will probably not reduce the availability of teaching jobs at government-funded schools.  This is because Vargonia has just introduced a legal requirement that education in government-funded schools be available, free of charge, to all Vargonian children regardless of the state of the economy, and that current student-teacher ratios not be exceeded.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

1. The current student-teacher ratio at Vargonia’s government-funded schools is higher than it was during the most recent period of economic recession.


2. During recent periods when the Vargonian economy has been strong, almost 25 percent of Vargonian children have attended privately funded schools, many of which charge substantial fees.


3. Nearly 20 percent more teachers are currently employed in Vargonia’s government-funded schools than had been employed in those schools in the period before the last economic recession.


4. Teachers in Vargonia’s government-funded schools are well paid relative to teachers in most privately funded schools in Vargonia, many of which rely heavily on part-time teachers.
   



5. During the last economic recession in Vargonia, the government permanently closed a number of the schools that it had funded.

   Answer:

1. The current student-teacher ratio at Vargonia’s government-funded schools is higher than it was during the most recent period of economic recession. 说的是学生比率的问题 无关
   
   
2. During recent periods when the Vargonian economy has been strong, almost 25 percent of Vargonian children have attended privately funded schools, many of which charge substantial fees. 谈及经济有点有关系 留下
   
   
3. Nearly 20 percent more teachers are currently employed in Vargonia’s government-funded schools than had been employed in those schools in the period before the last economic recession. 说学校教师的多少 无关
   
   
4. Teachers in Vargonia’s government-funded schools are well paid relative to teachers in most privately funded schools in Vargonia, many of which rely heavily on part-time teachers. 教师工资和什么有关的问题 无关
   
   
   
   
   
5. During the last economic recession in Vargonia, the government permanently closed a number of the schools that it had funded学校关闭的问题无关
   所以选b

   我选B

   经济好的时候，25%学生去私立学校，经济不好的时候，这些学生更可能去公立学校。造成学生--教师ratio更大

   因此需要的老师也更多

不是很能理解啊～　２５％是个有效数字么？２５％的评价没有给出吧　

我选ｄ　　理由：　

Vargonia has just introduced a legal requirement （１）that education in government-funded schools be available, free of charge, to all Vargonian children regardless of the state of the economy, and（２） that current student-teacher ratios not be exceeded.

要想达到目的２　使ratio不超出 必须增加教师或降低学生。 d提出工资高，可以吸引更多教师。所以d成立。

请评价

文章说无论经济怎样萧条，教师的位置不会被消减，理由是学生免费，目前的学生和教师的比例不能被超过．Ｃ说明学生会多起来，为了维持比率，老师只会增加．Ｄ说了教师待遇稳定，但问题不是说有没有人愿意去，而是教师的职位为什么不会被消减．

这里的“经济不好的时候，这些学生更可能去公立学校。”感觉有gap啊，文章没有说那种情况下学生更原意区公里学校。选B不是做题者自加的assumption么

偶选错A了，做的时候想：现在比例比上次recession时候高，那么再经历recession，为了维持现在的比例，就会……在想象每道理了。非常的没道理～～sigh

可是对B的理解还是有点模糊：（

D感觉irrrelative啊，一开始就排除了

    我认为这是个文化背景的问题，公立学校基本是不收费的，类似于义务教育

    B选项着重指出了charge substantial fees，为的就是要和公立学校形成对比

    如果charge substantial fees，那么一旦经济萧条，是否还有25%的学生去私立学校呢？？？
