先理理顺,

Q14:

Political Advertisement:

Mayor Delmont’s critics complain about the jobs that were lost in the city under Delmont’s leadership.  Yet the fact is that not only were more jobs created than were eliminated, but the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide every year since Delmont took office.  So there can be no question that throughout Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.

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

1. The average pay for jobs created in the city during the past three years was higher than the average pay for jobs created in the city earlier in Mayor Delmont’s tenure.


2. Average pay in the city was at a ten-year low when Mayor Delmont took office.


3. Some of the jobs created in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure have in the meantime been eliminated again.


4. The average pay for jobs eliminated in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure has been roughly equal every year to the average pay for jobs citywide.


5. The average pay for jobs in the city is currently higher than it is for jobs in the suburbs surrounding the city.

偶选D，开始选的A

推理稍微有点复杂，但思路很简单

新增工作多与丢失的工作；新增工作工资高于平均共资=>每年总的平均工资是增长的

GAP就是关于丢失工作的工资

A：无关比较；要注意结论是什么；结论是说D的任期内怎么怎么…；跟上任相比是无意义的

B：无关

C：有一些新增的工作同时又丢失了；其实这对原文结论产生不了影响；文中说“the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide ”，不管你这些新的工作是怎么产生的，反正新工作的工资比平均水平要高；C好像想从前提里面作文章，但无效

D：丢失的工作工资与每年平均工资水平持平，那就排除他因削弱

E：城市郊区比较，out of scope

我怎么觉得D的highlight部分就是削弱题目的条件（即前提）

我记得削弱或加强题中对前提的削弱或加强好像效果不强烈，而且题目就说了“新增工作工资高于平均共资”，我们就不应该怀疑，对不对？

而A，我觉得是一种事实加强，题目强调的就是一种对比，怎么能说ealier的状况是无关呢？

疑惑中。。。。。。

呵呵,本来已经潜水好多年(偶9月26日去踢一踢死),但碰巧今天对此题有疑虑,经过看LAWER的帖子才明白,所以回馈一下(已经不回馈好多年).

1.此题提干有两个观点,分别为某市长造成就业率及工资水平下降或某市长促进了工资水平的上涨.

2.要求对第二个观点进行支持(给个必要条件先)

3.我的看法:

A.项,超级混淆项但无关;

A项所言表达了正确信息,即某市长的任期后期较其任期前期而言,该市的平均工资水平继续上涨;

但此信息对提干ARGUMENT并无帮助,因为ARGUMENT讨论的范围(或对比对象)是此市长及其前任, 也就是说考生应对此项ISSUE进行题目要求的论证(支持),或说明此市长就是比前任强,或对该市的平均工资水平继续上涨(不同任内,而非同任内的不同时期)这一命题加强支持;

而A项无法对不同任内的比较造成任何影响;

而对同任内的比较形成影响没用,即设:

该市长后半段任期内工资较其前半段任期内工资涨了50%,达到800USD每人;然而该市长前任任期内工资水平为1800USD每人.

则A项无法有效支持题目要求的论断;

相反,D项对文中论断形成必要条件(补了一个GAP)

即应当注意,

but the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide every year since Delmont took office.  So throughout Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.

该句结论相当模糊,容易让考生感觉该市长后半段任期较前半段任期工资水平高(或该市长任期工资水平较前任工资水平高);

但我们应该清醒的是,前一个判断对该市长竞争下一个任期毫无意义,因为市民不会, 用全市人民的利益为代价, 给一个人锻炼成长的机会;而只会选择一个从一开始就适合的人.

综上所述,我们得知这句结论是指后者,即(或该市长任期工资水平较前任工资水平高);

而,

D项消除了一种可能,

but the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide every year since Delmont took office.(The average pay for jobs eliminated in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure has been roughly equal every year to the average pay for jobs citywide.)

即新工作工资>削减的工作工资>平均工资,得出平均工资水平会逐步下降的可怕推论,从而造成对该市长的不良影响.

呵呵,好累,不知道你看晕了没有,我已经快了.

晚安,open to be discussed......

谢谢MM

明白了

a，任期中前期和后期比较，说明不了结论

d，题目说的是3种工资的比较，我划红线的部分根本不是一回事：新增工作工资〉丢失工作工资=市内原平均工资----------排他因的加强结论：the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.

再次感谢MM行侠仗义，出手相救。

不会吧,这么十万火急你何时考啊

hehe。我比较懒，就借用一下吧。

你对A的解释有误。

如果前期平均工资1000。这3年平均工资1100，但是第一、二、三年分别是1300，1200，800，这样平均工资1100高于前期工资水平1000。但是这种情况你能说“has been getting steadily bigger”吗？

A肯定是无关选项。

结论是

So there can be no question that throughout Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.

结论中“average” 肯定是要分析 新工作和被干掉的工作 pay的情况变化。

所以一看到A中比较的都是新工作，就不对。

A 确实是一个无关选项::::::::::这里是一个前后得顺序,没有因果关系

确实是D啊....

虽然还是不太明白...不过第一感觉是D就是D吧
