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?
- The current student-teacher ratio at Vargonia’s government-funded schools is higher than it was during the most recent period of economic recession.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- During the last economic recession in Vargonia, the government permanently closed a number of the schools that it had funded.
选B.
我的思路:
原文作者说因为公立学校将永存,而且学生和老师的比例不能再多了,所以将来还是有增加老师的机会的.
这里有一个假设,就是学生的人数还会增加的.如果学生人数不变,比例也不变,就不用增加老师了.
B中至少说明还有新的生源(在私人学校读书的),所以支持.
A说现在学生老师比例比以前高.试想学生和老师的比例不能提高,导致学生增加必然增加老师的逻辑关系.这里应该是现在学生老师比例低才会有支持.因为低的话,保持这个低的比率,就容易增加老师的职位.
C说现在已经有比以前多20%的老师了.应该如果现在比以前老师少,才增加需要老师的概率.类似A的错误.
D.E似乎无关. |
