29. Pro-Teet Insurance Company has recently been paying out more on car-theft claims than it expected. Cars with
special antitheft devices or alarm systems are much less likely to be stolen than are other cars. Consequently
Pro-Teet, as part of an effort to reduce its annual payouts, will offer a discount to holders of car-theft policies if
their cars have antitheft devices or alarm systems.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest indication that the plan is likely to achieve its goal?
(A) The decrease in the risk of car theft conferred by having a car alarm is greatestwhen only a few cars have
such alarms.
(B) The number of policyholders who have filed a claimin the past year is higher for Pro-Teet than for other
insurance companies.
(C) In one or two years, the discount that Pro-Tect is offeringwill amount to more than the cost of buying
certain highly effective antitheft devices.
(D) Currently, Pro-Teet cannot legally raise the premiums it charges for a given amount of insurance against
car theft.
(E) The amount Pro-Teet has been paying out on car-theft claims has been greaterfor some models of car
than for others.

30. Toughened hiring standards have not been the primary cause of the present staffing shortage in public schools.
The shortage of teachers is primarily caused bythe fact that in recent years teachers have not experienced any
improvements in working conditions and their salaries have not kept pace with salaries in other professions.
Which of the following, if true, would most support the claims above?
(A) Many teachers already in the profession would not have been hired under the new hiring standards.
(B) Today more teachers are entering the profession with a higher educational level than in the past.
(C) Some teachers have cited higher standards for hiring as a reason for the current staffing shortage.
(D) Many teachers have cited low pay and lack of professional freedom as reasons for their leaving the
profession.
(E) Many prospective teachers have cited the new hiring standards asa reason for not entering the
profession.


31. A proposed ordinancerequires the installation in new homes of sprinklers automatically triggered by the
presence of a fire. However, a homebuilder argued that becausemore than 90 percent of residential fires are
extinguished by a household member, residential sprinklers would onlymarginally decrease property damage
caused by residential fires .
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the home builder's argument?
(A) Mostindividuals have noformal training in how to extinguish fires.
(B) Since new homes are onlya tiny percentage of available housing in the city, the newordinancewould be
extremely narrow in scope.
(C) The installation of smoke detectors in new residences costs significantly less than the installation of
sprinklers.
(D) In the city where the ordinance was proposed, the average timerequired by the fire department to
respond to a firewas less than the national average.
(E) The largest proportion of property damage that results from residential fires is caused by fires that start
when no household member is present.


32. Arecent spate of launching and operating mishaps with television satellites led to a corresponding surge in
claimsagainst companies underwriting satellite insurance. As a result, insurance premiums shot up, making
satellites more expensive to launch and operate. This, in turn, had added to the pressure to squeeze more
performance out of currently operating satellites.
Which of the following, if true, taken together with the information above, best supports the conclusion that the
cost of television satelliteswill continue to increase?
(A) Since the risk to insurers of satellites is spread over relatively few units, insurance premiums are
necessarily very high.
(B) When satellites reach orbit and then fail, the causes of failure are generally impossible to pinpoint with
confidence.
(C) The greater the performance demands placed on satellites, the morefrequently those satellites break
down.
(D) Mostsatellites are produced in such small numbers that no economies of scale can be realized.
(E) Sincemany satellites are built by unwieldyinternational consortia, inefficiencies are inevitable.



AA:
The following appeared in the editorial section of a local newspaper:

“This past winter, 200 students from Waymarsh State College traveled to the state capitol building to protest against proposed cuts in funding for various state college programs. The other 12,000 Waymarsh students evidently weren’t so concerned about their education: they either stayed on campus or left for winter break. Since the group who did not protest is far more numerous, it is more representative of the state’s college students than are the protesters. Therefore the state legislature need not heed the appeals of the protesting students.”

因为这篇AA可能大家看到过了（我很喜欢这篇~哈哈），所以下面再来一篇，看过这篇的练下面一篇，都看过的，就回顾下，当review吧~加油！把想到的攻击点都写出来吧~


备用AA~
“Of all the cities in their region, Beaumont and Fletcher are showing the fastest growth in the number of new
businesses. Therefore, Avia should establish a commuter route between them as a means of countering recent
losses on its main passenger routes. And to make the commuter route more profitable from the outset, Avia should
offer a 1/3 discount on tickets purchased within two days of the flight. Unlike tickets bought earlier, discount tickets
will be nonrefundable, and so gain from their sale will be greater.”
