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.


6. 这道题答案是C，很多人选D,我觉得C很好啊！


7. Q16:


8. 
   

   Historian:  Newton developed mathematical concepts and techniques that are fundamental to modern calculus.  Leibniz developed closely analogous concepts and techniques.  It has traditionally been thought that these discoveries were independent.  Researchers have, however, recently discovered notes of Leibniz’ that discuss one of Newton’s books on mathematics.  Several scholars have argued that since the book includes a presentation of Newton’s calculus concepts and techniques, and since the notes were written before Leibniz’ own development of calculus concepts and techniques, it is virtually certain that the traditional view is false.  A more cautious conclusion than this is called for, however.  Leibniz’ notes are limited to early sections of Newton’s book, sections that precede the ones in which Newton’s calculus concepts and techniques are presented.

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   In the historian’s reasoning, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

   
   

   
   

   
   





1. The first provides evidence in support of the overall position that the historian defends; the second is evidence that has been used to support an opposing position.


2. The first provides evidence in support of the overall position that the historian defends; the second is that position.


3. The first provides evidence in support of an intermediate conclusion that is drawn to provide support for the overall position that the historian defends; the second provides evidence against that intermediate conclusion.


4. The first is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion that the historian criticizes; the second is evidence offered in support of the historian’s own position.


5. The first is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion that the historian criticizes; the second is further information that substantiates that evidence。


6. Answer: D，我选B。

Q14. 我也没读明白，NN请指点啊。

Q16. 原文有三个观点，
a. 传统的观点: 牛顿和莱布尼兹的研究是各自独立得出的。
b. 一些学者的观点: 莱布尼兹是受牛顿影响。因为莱布尼兹在得出自己的研究前，参考过牛顿的数学书。
c. 作者的观点: 作者反对观点b, 也就是说支持观点a, 因为莱布尼兹只参考了牛顿书的前面的章节，而牛顿的理论是在后面的章节才出现。

再看答案，应该很清楚是D.

   14题：

    原文罗列几个事实：（1）more jobs created than were eliminated；（2） the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide

    原文得到结论：Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.

    但是事实上仅仅有上述事实未必能得出结论，相反的情况出现于：假设被去处的工作的工资远远高于增加工作的工资（但同时增加工作的工资又高于城市现有水平），那么仍然有可能整个城市的工资水平还是下降了。

    D说去处的工作的工资水平=城市现有工作的工资水平

    排除了我上面说的情况的出现，所以是加强

    C错，原文讲工资水平问题，我觉得C无关

我懂了，谢谢两位！

对于14题，还是很不理解为什么选C

flywood

我也觉得14答案应该是D,不知道D是不是正确答案

bloodcherry

强烈支持D

robertchu

我对你的一个推理有点小意见，讨论一下

如我在你的解释所显示的
你假设了一个新的状况—假设”被去处的工作的工资远远高于增加工作的工资”
但事实上可能是相反，即我们也可以假设为”被去处的工作的工资远远低于增加工作的工资”

那答案﹙D﹚” D说去处的工作的工资水平=城市现有工作的工资水平”
即变成了weaken，而不是support了

答案﹙C﹚刚好符合题目所少的部分
再次引用你的内容

原文罗列几个事实：
（1）more jobs created than were eliminated；
（2）the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide
原文得到结论：Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger

会发现﹙C﹚即满足了事实和结论中的差异，即工作不可以产生了又被消灭。

所以﹙C﹚应该是较适当的答案。
