1.     GWD-17-Q9

Press Secretary:  Ourcritics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellationsdemonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled byopposition parties.  They offer asevidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in suchdistricts.  But all of the canceled projectshad been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisanauditors.  So the President’s choice wasclearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’sargument depends?

Answer：Thescheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostlyprojects in districts controlled by the President’s party.

2.        GWD-17-Q30

In a study conducted in Pennsylvania
, servers in various restaurantswrote “Thank you” on randomly selected bills before presenting the bills totheir customers.  Tips on these billswere an average of three percentage points higher than tips on bills withoutthe message.  Therefore, if servers in Pennsylvania regularlywrote “Thank you” on restaurant bills, their average income from tips would besignificantly higher than it otherwise would have been.
Which of the following is an assumption on which theargument relies?

Answer:Regularly seeing “Thank you” written on their billswould not lead restaurant patrons to revert to their earlier tipping habits.

3.        GWD-17-Q41

Last year a record number of new manufacturing jobs werecreated.  Will this year bring anotherrecord?  Well, any new manufacturingjob is created either within an existing company or by the start-up of a newcompany.  Within existing firms, newjobs have been created this year at well below last year’s record pace.  At the same time, there is considerableevidence that the number of new companies starting up this year will be nohigher than it was last year and there is no reason to think that the newcompanies starting up this year will create more jobs per company than did lastyear’s start-ups.  So clearly, thenumber of new jobs created this year will fall short of last year’s record.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldfaceplay which of the following roles?

Answer:The first is presented as obvious truth on which theargument is based; the second is a judgment advanced in support of the mainconclusion of the argument

4.        GWD-23-Q14

Plantings of cottonbioengineered to produce its own insecticide against bollworms, a major causeof crop failure, sustained little bollworm damage until this year.  This year the plantings are being seriouslydamaged by bollworms.  Bollworms,however, are not necessarily developing resistance to the cotton’sinsecticide.  Bollworms breed on corn,and last year more corn than usual was planted throughout cotton-growingregions.  So it is likely that the cottonis simply being overwhelmed by corn-bred bollworms.

In evaluating the argument,which of the following would be most useful to establish?

Answer: Whetherplantings of cotton that does not produce the insecticide are sufferingunusually extensive damage from bollworms this year

5.        GWD-21-Q4

Which of the following most logically completes thepassage?
Appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix) ispotentially fatal; consequently, patients with symptoms strongly suggestingappendicitis almost have their appendix removed. The appropriate surgery islow-risk but performed unnecessarily in about 20 percent of all cases. A newlydeveloped internal scan for appendicitis is highly accurate, producing twomisdiagnoses for every 98 correct diagnoses. Clearly, using this test, doctorscan largely avoid unnecessary removals of the appendix without, however, performing any fewer necessaryones than before, since    .

Answer: the misdiagnoses produced by this test arealways instances of attributing appendicitis to someone who does not, in fact,have it

Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?
有人说总统取消了一些项目，而这些项目又都是在反对党的领地里的。所以总统是在想削弱对方的势力。结论：这种说法不对。因为项目是否浪费，是由非党派人士决定的。
假设：非党派人士并不想削弱反对党的势力，他们是公平判断的。
Answer：Thes cheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.
目的要说明The president's decision is fair.原文说被判断为wasteful并被Cancel的项目的决定是公平的,B说那些同样被判断为wasteful但仍然坚持上马的项目(scheduled highway projects) 并非都是President’s party 的，很好的加强目的。

In the argument given, the two portions in boldfaceplay which of the following roles?
去年新工作增长了很多，今年会不会呢？这有两个因素影响，一个是现有的公司提供的新工作。一个新公司提供的工作。又知道，现有的公司不会提供比去年更多的工作，新公司也没有去年多，而且这些新公司提供的工作也没有去年多。结论：今年总的新工作不会比去年多。

In evaluating the argument, which of the following would be most useful to establish?
一个虫子要吃棉花，它还可以抵抗杀虫剂。而今年有很多棉花种了。结论：这些棉花要遭受虫害。
加强：杀虫剂不会改良得更有效。
一种开发的棉花能产生杀虫剂来抵御虫害。今天庄稼受害严重。而B虫并没有产生抗体。去年还有更多的棉花种了。结论：棉花变得更容易受虫害了。
Answer: Whether plantings of cotton that does not produce the insecticide are suffering unusually extensive damage from bollworms this year
转基因的棉花产生insecticide对付boolworms，直到今年为止都没有受到B的damage。今年这些植物受到B的严重damage。B不太可能对棉花的insecticide产生resistance。B是breed on玉米的。去年在棉花种植区中了比平时多的玉米。所以可能是corn-bred B太多了导致棉花受到影响。问评价
B说看看没有转基因的棉花有没有suffer unusually extensive damage（和往常相比）
如果没有受到damage，说明B有针对转基因棉花的resistance，不是文中所说的原因
如果受到了damage，说明B对两种棉花都一样，是文中的原因

盲肠炎并不致命，有可能致命。但很多病人想把它取出来。而以前有20%不必要的取出。现在又一种新的扫描器，能很准确地扫描盲肠。每98个人中只有2个错误了。所以医生能够利用这个仪器来避免不必要的取出，因为————
这个仪器能够精确扫描出炎症。
Answer: the misdiagnoses produced by this test are always instances of attributing appendicitis to someone who does not, in fact, have it 排除他因，其实是解释那2个人怎么来的。
