(做错)1. Human beings have cognitive faculties that are superior to those of other animals, and once humans become aware of these, they cannot be made happy by anything that does not involve gratification of these faculties.
Which one of the following statements, if true, most calls into question the view above?
———Bible Weaken Question Problem Set NO.1
15’’ 逻辑链:人类比其他动物认知能力更好。一旦人们意识到这些,他们就不会对任何没有包含满足的东西感到开心。
削弱:a phenomenon(/蕴含着一个道理) 即使没有包含满足的东西也能让他们感到开心。
(A) Certain animals—dolphins and chimpanzees, for example—appear to be capable of rational communication. Rational communication [not=] cognitive ability
Even though they have this communication ability, human cognitive faculties can still be superior.
(B) Many people familiar both with intellectual stimulation and with physical pleasures enjoy the latter more. 无关
This is the correct answer, and a somewhat risqué one at that. By showing that many
people enjoy the physical more than the cognitive, the answer shows that people can be made happy by
gratification of something other than cognitive faculties. Cognitive faculties, being mental in nature, are of
course distinct from physical pleasures.
(C) Someone who never experienced classical music as a child will usually prefer popular music as an adult. 无关
A preference for a certain type of music is likely a cognition-driven preference, and
this preference is expressed by an adult who would certainly be aware of cognitive faculties. And, since no
suggestion is made that individuals can be made happy without gratification of the cognitive faculties, this
answer is incorrect.
(D) Many people who are serious athletes consider themselves to be happy.
This can be an attractive answer at first, but it depends on the assumption that the
serious athletes are happy due to their athletic endeavors. However, that connection is not explicitly stated,
and it could be that the serious athletes are happy because of some gratification of their cognitive faculties,
in their respective sport or otherwise.
(E) Many people who are serious athletes love gourmet food.
This answer is similar to answer choice (D). A gourmet is a connoisseur of food and
drink, and a connoisseur is a person with deep or special knowledge of a subject. In this sense, there
would be a cognitive element to the enjoyment of gourmet food. As such, this answer may serve to slightly
strengthen the argument because it shows that an individual with experience with the non-cognitive still
retains a love of the cognitive.

Traces of cultivated emmer wheat have been found among the earliest agricultural remains of many archaeological sites in Europe and Asia. The only place where the wild form of emmer wheat has been found growing is a relatively narrow strip of southwest Asia. Since the oldest remains of cultivated emmer wheat yet found are from village sites in the same narrow strip, it is clear that emmer wheat was first domesticated somewhere in that strip.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
24’’ E物最早是在欧洲和亚洲发现的。唯一一个地方发现的野生E物是在一个相对比较狭隘的带状地区找到的。因为最早发现的E物同样是在一个狭隘的带状地区找到的。因此,E物最早是生长在带状地区。
加强:排除strip地区各方面不好的因素/排除可能让E物质外移的因素
(A) The presentday distribution of another wild wheat, einkorn, which was also domesticated early in the development of agriculture, covers a much larger area of southwest Asia. 无关,新信息einkorn
(B) Modern experiments show that wild emmer wheat can easily be domesticated so as to yield nearly as well as traditionally domestic strains. 无关
(C) At the time when emmer wheat was first cultivated, it was the most nutritious of all the varieties of grain that were then cultivated.无关
(D) In the region containing the strip where wild emmer wheat has been found, climatic conditions have changed very little since before the development of agriculture. correct
(E) It is very difficult, without genetic testing, to differentiate the wild form of emmer wheat from a closely related wild wheat that also grows in southwest Asia. 无关

In the late 1980s, the population of sea otters in the North Pacific began to decline.There are two plausible explanations for the decline:predation, possibly by killer whales, or disease.Of these two, disease is the more likely, since a concurrent sharp decline in populations of seals and sea lions is believed to have been caused by disease, and diseases that infect these creatures are likely to be able to infect sea otters also.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the reasoning?
35’’ 逻辑链:SO数量下降——有两种因素:predation & disease——最可能是disease:seals 和sea lions 数量是被disease影响的,SO也有可能。
削弱:1、S和SL住的不是一个地方(切断S,SL与SO之间的联系)
2、killer whales 的数量在急剧上升
(A) Killer whales in the North Pacific usually prey on seals and sea lions but will, when this food source is scarce, seek out other prey. Correct【source is scarce=S & SO have disease, killers can’t eat】
(B) There is no indication that the sea otter population at any North Pacific location declined in the 1980s because of substantial numbers of sea otters migrating to other locations. 无关
(C) Along the Pacific coast of North America in the 1980s, sea otters were absent from many locations where they had been relatively common in former times. 无关,并没有提到地点
(D) Following the decline in the population of the sea otters, there was an increase in the population of sea urchins, which are sea otters' main food source. SO decline导致的结果本来就是SO的food数量会增加
(E) The North Pacific populations of seals and sea lions cover a wider geographic area than does the population of sea otters. 无关

From 1978 to 1988, beverage containers accounted for a steadily decreasing percentage of the total weight of household garbage in the United States.The increasingly widespread practice of recycling aluminum and glass was responsible for most of this decline. However, although aluminum recycling was more widely practiced in this period than glass recycling, it was found that the weight of glass bottles in household garbage declined by a greater percentage than the weight of aluminum cans.
Which of the following, if true of the United States in the period 1978 to 1988, most helps to account for the finding?
27’’ 逻辑链:家庭垃圾重量减少——归功于对铝和对玻璃的回收——回收铝的范围比回收玻璃的范围大——玻璃垃圾重量的减少大于铝的
解释:玻璃比铝重
(A) Glass bottles are significantly heavier than aluminum cans of comparable size. Correct
题中涉及的是percentage。Aluminum recycling wider>glass recycling
aluminum cans declined<glass bottles declined in household
解释:他因,导致玻璃瓶在日常垃圾中的比重减少的更多了这样才能削弱原文。题目中讲到percentage的时候不要拿质量&数量来作比较,因为并不知道基数。只能拿此类物种在此占得权重是增加了还是减少了。
(B) Recycled aluminum cans were almost all beverage containers, but a significant fraction of the recycled glass bottles had contained products other than beverages.
(C) Manufacturers replaced many glass bottles, but few aluminum cans, with plastic containers.
(D) The total weight of glass bottles purchased by households increased at a slightly faster rate than the total weight of aluminum cans. Slightly & significantly(题中)
(E) In many areas, glass bottles had to be sorted by color of the glass before being recycled, whereas aluminum cans required no sorting. 无关

Tiger beetles are such fast runners that they can capture virtually any nonflying insect.However, when running toward an insect, the beetles intermittently stop, and then, a moment later, resume their attack.Perhaps they cannot maintain their pace and must pause for a moment's rest; but an alternative hypothesis is that while running tiger beetles are unable to process the resulting rapidly changing visual information, and so quickly go blind and stop.
Which of the following, if discovered in experiments using artificially moved prey insects, would support one of the two hypotheses and undermine the other?
27’’ 逻辑链:TB跑的很快因此他能抓住所有不是飞行类的虫子——但是当他抓捕的时候,他要停下来一会再抓——可能是因为他不能保持这样的速度所以要停下来休息一会——另外一个假说是说TB在高速奔跑的时候不能适应迅速变化的视觉信息,所以它就像眼瞎了似得,停了。
Support one/undermine another:
(A) When a prey insect is moved directly toward a beetle that has been chasing it, the beetle immediately turns and runs away without its usual intermittent stopping.
(B) In pursuing a moving insect, the beetles usually respond immediately to changes in the insect's direction, and pause equally frequently whether the chase is up or down an incline.
(C) The beetles maintain a fixed time interval between pauses, although when an insect that had been stationary begins to flee, the beetle increases its speed after its next pause. 这种类型的问题一定要记得控制变量。变量控制:rapidly changing visual information,但是TB还是要停下来休息.
(D) If, when a beetle pauses, it has not gained on the insect it is pursuing, the beetle generally ends its pursuit. 无关
(E) When an obstacle is suddenly introduced just in front of running beetles, the beetles sometimes stop immediately, but they never respond by running around the barrier. 无关
