4. Data form satellite photographs of the tropical rain forest in Melonia show that last year the deforestation rate of this environmentally sensitive zone was significantly lower than in previous years. The Melonian government, which spent millions of dollars last year to enforce laws against burning and cutting of the forest, is claiming that the satellite data indicate that its increased efforts to halt the destruction are proving effective.

Which one of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the government’s claim?

(A) Landowner opposition to the government’s antideforestation efforts grew more violent last year in response to the increased enforcement.

(B) Rainfall during the usually dry 6-month annual burning season was abnormally heavy last year.

(C) Government agents had to issue fines totaling over 59 million to 3,500violators of burning-and-cutting regulations.

(D) The inaccessibility of much of the rain forest has made it impossible to confirm the satellite data by direct observation from the field.

(E) Much of the money that was designated last year for forest preservation has been spent on research and not on enforcement.

答案:B,我选E,

如果说B是大雨,使data不清的话,以此来削弱,可是没有出现必要的reason link, as mindfree alwasys mentioned.

我选E, 是削弱了premise,. The Melonian government, which spent millions of dollars last year to enforce laws against burning and cutting of the forest.

The number of aircraft collisions on the ground is increasing because of the substantial increase in the number of flights operated by the airlines. Many of the fatalities that occur in such collisions are caused not by the collision itself, but by an inherent flaw in the cabin design of most aircraft, in which seats, by restricting access to emergency exits, impede escape. Therefore, to reduce the total number of fatalities that result annually from such collisions, the airlines should be required to remove all seats that restrict access to emergency exits.

10. Which one of the following proposals, if implemented together with the proposal made in the passage, would improve the prospects for achieving the stated objective of reducing fatalities?

(A) The airlines should be required, when buying new planes, to buy only planes with unrestricted access to emergency exits.

(B) The airlines should not be permitted to increase further the number of lights in order to offset the decrease in the number of seats on each aircraft.

(C) Airport authorities should be required to streamline their passenger check-in procedures to accommodate the increased number of passengers served by the airlines.

(D) Airport authorities should be required to refine security precautions by making them less conspicuous without making them less effective.

(E) The airlines should not be allowed to increase the ticket price for each passenger to offset the decrease in the number of seats on each aircraft.

答案:B,我选A,答案是不是错了?B是无关的.

谢谢.

4)E说明了钱花少了在enforcement而用在了另外一个方面，应该是有点加强了结论，说明效率更高。至少钱的减少对这个enfore law是否有效没有直接关系。并且我认为 spent millions of dollars last year to enforce laws against burning and cutting of the forest并不是一个什么前提，只是对说明这goverment而已。去掉对推理没有什么影响。
B 恰恰是对推理的前提提出怀疑。

10）我只是排除A.
作者是说这些seat阻止了逃生，所以这些seat (that restrict access to emergency exits)应该被去掉。
A.只是说买回这些飞机，这些飞机是可以不限制访问emergency exits。是否有seat阻止了不限制访问emergency exits? 不知道。可以排除。
B 说明了不用允许用lights(这是个啥东东，不知道)来弥补seats的减少。对B取反。如果通过减少seats而减少对逃生的阻止，同时又假如因为增加 lights(是否真的能？不知道) 而阻止了逃生的话，那就......

关键词很重要。

谢谢perfection!!

T4,我这样理解对不对?

B是提出他因,不是政府的有效管理而是大雨造成defrostation变慢.

E.只是说明政府如何,不是前提,而且说的是much of the sum,对结论没有什么削强,也可能是更多的钱放在enforcement.

对吗?

perfection,

如果按你对此题的分析,那么E也是答案.因为对E取反,如果通过减少seats,...

而原文中说的是这些seat阻止了逃生，所以这些seat (that restrict access to emergency exits)应该被去掉。

所以需要redesign the cabinet,而A正好满足这个条件.

对头三。
很多推理中所谓的weaken 只是说最大的weaken,不是要求绝对的weaken.
对推理的前提产生怀疑，就有可能表明这个结论有问题。但真的绝对有问题吗？

排除无关选项是个好的方法。

E不对呀。我只是说B中通过减少seats而减少对逃生的阻止，同时又假如因为增加 lights(是否真的能？不知道) 而阻止了逃生的话。跟提高票价来补偿损失的钱没有关系吧。

redesign 什么样的 cabinet？ 不知道。即使设计减少seats的飞机而同时又因为增加什么东东而......?!

原文结构是：
1 number of flights increase -> number of collision increase
2 restrict access -> many fatalities
proposal 1: remove restrict -> decrease fatalities

Q: what proposal + proposal 1 -> further decrease fatalities
B: no increase in number of flights -> 针对条件1，如果增加，撞机增加，由此导致基数增大
A: 我个人感觉仅是对proposal 1 的重复。

4、claim的内容：increased efforts——> the lowness of the    deforestation    rate    
weaken 这个claim,也就是weaken这个推理，B他因削弱


E是对fact的削弱。在我看来，The    Melonian    government    spent    millions    of    dollars    last    year    to enforce laws
    against burning and cutting of the forest


是一个fact

关于4题:


1.逻辑的答案是比出来的


2. E同样起WEAKEN作用


3.本题的ISSUE是: 是什麽原因导致DEFORESTATION减少. 政府说是花钱ENFORCE LAW导致, B选项说是下大雨导致.直接WEAKEN.而E只WEAKEN证据,而对ARGUMENT的WEAKEN作用没那末大. 其实LSAT中有不少这样的混淆选项
