1. 30s People needs to face traffic congestion everywhere. In a road, the maxium speed limit is 55m/h, but people can only travel at average speed of 35m/h.
2. 29s Premise: The papers handed to the professor this year are full of gramatical problems. Conclusion: College students doesn't write as well as they used to. Weaken: The paper is unrelated to scores; therefore, the students put less than half of their potential to write the papers.
3. 41s Mayor of P: To speed up the economic growth, we should use the revenues to build new highways to the town to attract bussiness. Citizen Group: refutes the Mayor. Recommends to build a bussiness park. Reason: A bussiness park can bring twice as many bussiness as a highway can. Assumption: 修高速公路引来的商业的经济推动力不比business park的商业的大。
4. 20s Premise: Many high-skilled workers migrated to the West from East Europe. Conclusion: The skilled workers in EE are in high demand. Weaken: The workers left EE because new machines made the demand for skilled worker decline gradually.
5. Conclusion: The quality of care at university hospitals is lower than that at other kinds of hospitals. Reasons: a. fewer doctors, lower success rate, make less profits and pay staff less than private hospitals b. Doctors at university spend much time on reaserch and teaching. Flaws: 1. Other factors 2. 写到第二点就想不到就去偷看了一下bat的,很好~咔咔。
8-12 今天才发现要不看题干写逻辑链。以前都是照着写。速度和准确率瞬间下降。红色为改动部分。 1. 55s Something must be done to ease traffic congestion. In traditional small towns, people used to work and shop in the same town in which they lived; but now that stores and workplaces are located far away from residential areas, people cannot avoid traveling long distances each day. Traffic congestion is so heavy on all roads that, even on major highways where the maximum speed limit is 55 miles per hour, the actual speed averages only 35 miles per hour. Q:Which one of the following proposals is most supported by the statements above? 结论:要有一些措施在减少交通堵塞。以前在农村,交通不堵。后来城市中,工作的地方和上班的地方分开了。人们就要走很远。结论:有交通堵塞。甚至在高速公路上限速是50多,人们都只能开30多。 支持:在除了高速公路的城市道路上,交通业很堵塞。 标答:E) New businesses should be encouraged to locate closer to where their workers would live. Should be 就是应该措施吧,直接支持结论。
2. 16s College professor: College students do not write nearly as well as they used to. Almost all of the paper that my students have done for me this year have been poorly written and ungrammatical. Q:Which one of the following is the most serious weakness in the argument made by the professor? 一个人说,结论:现在大学生比以前的写作能力差多了,理由是现在交上来的论文更加差,更加无语法。 削弱:他今年的论文更难,或者今年比去年的国际学生更多。 标答:A) It requires confirmation that the change in the professor’s students is representative of a change among college students in general. 说明了样本具有代表性 Confirmation证实
3.43s Mayor of Plainsville: In order to help the economy of Plainsville, I am using some of our tax revenues to help bring a major highway through the town and thereby attract new business to Plainsville. Citizens’ group: You must have interests other than our economy in mind. If you were really interested in helping our economy, you would instead allocate the revenues to building a new business park, since it would bring in twice the business that your highway would. Q1:The argument by the citizens’ group relies on which one of the following assumptions? Q2:Which one of the following principles, if accepted, would most help the citizens’ group to justify drawing its conclusion that the mayor has in mind interests other than Plainsville’s economy? 官员:为了P州的经济,我们要用纳税收入修一条高速公路,这样就能吸引很多business来我们州。 群众:结论:你肯定不是为了我们州的利益。如果是的话,应该用这些钱来修个公园,能吸引两倍的business。 假设:是不是为了州的利益,只能从吸引好多business反映出来。 标答:B) The mayor accepts that a new business park would bring in more new business than would the new highway. 简单重复 支持:修高速公路,这个官员能贪污。 标答:A) Anyone really pursuing a cause will choose the means that that person believes will advance the cause the farthest. 不仅仅是简单的支持题。 Advance 发展 问的是一个principles,答案就有点principles的味道。这是一个对官员做法的评价。如果一个人为了做一个事,就会选择对这个事最有利的方法去做。所以如果官员真心为了这个州的经济好,就会选对这个州经济最好的事做。
4.35s Recently, highly skilled workers in Eastern Europe have left jobs in record numbers to emigrate to the West. It is therefore likely that skilled workers who remain in Eastern Europe are in high demand in their home countries. Q:Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? 东欧有技术的工人好多都辞职去西欧了。结论:东欧对有技术的工人需求量很大咯。 削弱:其实是东欧很多需要有技术工人的厂子都倒闭了。 标答:B) Major changes in Eastern European economic structures have led to the elimination of many positions previously held by the highly skilled emigrants.
