太郁闷了~~咋又错了，受打击了~~

(A) Synesthesiacs demonstrate a general,
systematic impairment in their ability to use
and understand words.

Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer. If the synesthesiacs have a systematic impairment in their
use of language it may not be that their senses overlap but rather that they lack the ability to properly
express themselves. Thus, their claim to taste a banana and see blue might not be a reflection of that
actually occurring but rather a reflection of the words they use to describe taste. If so, this would
undermine the conclusion that the senses of synesthesiacs do overlap. This is a difficult answer to identify
as correct, and less than 50% of test takers are able to do so.----我哭~我就是那<50%的群众~~


(C) The particular ways in which sensory
experiences overlap in synesthesiacs follow a
definite pattern.

Answer choice (C): This is the most popular wrong answer choice. Do not forget to personalize the
argument and consider how the author would react if faced with this answer. Would he or she surrender
and admit the answer overpowers the argument? Doubtful. The author would probably react to this answer
by saying something along these lines, “Exactly. Since all the individuals are synesthesiacs and suffer from
the same condition, it is not surprising that there would be patterns in the way the senses overlap. Just as
everyone afflicted with emphysema has difficulty breathing, the sensory patterns exhibited by
synesthesiacs are just a product of the condition. The fact that their senses do not follow the usual
boundaries and do so in certain ways is to be expected.” So, instead of surrendering to the answer, the
author would indicate that the answer agrees with the conclusion.-----这么比较看的话，C还是不如Aweaken conclusion的程度深，但是我怎么一上来就觉得A irrelevant呢？求解~~~

Background: Outsourcing is the practice of obtaining from an independent supplier a product or service that a company has previously provided for itself.  Vernon, Inc., a small manufacturing company that has in recent years experienced a decline in its profits,

Ways: boost its profits by outsourcing those parts of its business that independent suppliers

Conclusion: provide at lower cost than Vernon itself
话题：vernon外包好
思路：1、外包确实好2、原来不外包的缺点3、外包与profit的关系
(A)Among the parts of its business that Vernon does not plan to outsource are some that require standards of accuracy too high for most independent suppliers to provide at lower cost than Vernon
can.
—————— parts of its business that Vernon does not plan to outsource 是主体无关的讨论范围
(B) Vernon itself acts as an independent supplier of specialized hardware items to certain manufacturers that formerly made those items themselves.
————————Vernon itself acts as an independent supplier of specialized hardware items也是主体无关的范围
(C) Relatively few manufacturers that start as independent suppliers have been able to expand their business and become direct competitors of the companies they once supplied.
———————削弱比较方本是对的，但是削弱方向不对：比较方自身的发展----》应该削弱比较方对于vernon的发展
(D) Vernon
plans to select the independent suppliers it will use on the basis of submitted bids.
—————— Vernon plans to select the independent suppliers话题无关
(E) Attending to certain tasks that Vernon performs relatively inefficiently has taken up much of the time and effort of top managers whose time would have been better spent attending to Vernon's core business.
———————削弱比较法：以前的生产模式不行，改用新的模式后效率会有所提升

P：Five senses are distinct ,they have their own range and can not stimulate other senses?however, one experiment proved that some people taste something and say they see something? this shows that people have S, they have senses do not follow the usual boundries.
Weaken: these people have the problem to speak.
A:
(A) Synesthesiacs demonstrate a general,
systematic impairment in their ability to use
and understand words.-->R(refute the evidence)
(B) Recent evidence strongly suggests that there
are other senses besides sight, touch, smell,
hearing, and taste.-->irrelevant with other senses
(C) The particular ways in which sensory
experiences overlap in synesthesiacs follow a
definite pattern.-->irrelevant with the pattern,
(D) The synesthetic phenomenon has been
described in the legends of various cultures.-->irrelevant with the culture.
(E) Synesthesiacs can be temporarily rid of their
synesthetic experiences by the use of drugs.-->ireelevant with how to get away the S.

1、Background: the five senses have been viewed as distinct yet complementary.
Premise: recent research discovered that some people tasted a banana and claimed that they were tasting blue or see a color and said that it has a specific smell, this implied that for some people the boundaries among the five senses are not that distinctive.
Prephrase: the five senses works at the same time, and it is reasonable that the five senses of a man who are eating a banana get different de information.
A
A: the answer attacks the very base of the argument, if the synesthesiacs cannot use and understand words as normal people do, their claim will be inconvincible. It weakens the argument.
B: irrelevant
C: what is the definite pattern like? What if the pattern shows indistinctive boundaries of five senses?
D: irrelevant, it cannot attack the argument.
E: if the synesthetic experiences can be rid of by drugs, then it implies the indistinctive boundaries really exist, this supports the argument in some way.
2、Background: when a caterpillar gets out of the egg, it climbs upward on the tree until it finds a leaf bud to eat. This behavior is considered by biologists as an innate tendency to move in the opposite direction of gravity.
Premise: the recent experiment discovers that after placing a strong light source at the bottom of a tree, a caterpillar just coming out of a egg on the tree climbs downwards.
Prephrase: the climbing direction of a caterpillar when it emerges from a egg depends where the adequate light source is.

C
A: incorrect conclusion
B: false conclusion, there is light outside the egg.
C: consistent with the statement
D: what if there is not bud on its way to the light source?
E: if it is true, the newly hatched caterpillars will climb in any direction despite of to the bottom of the tree.
3、Background: the annual expenditure per capital on prescription drugs in Voronia rose by 15% or more. In order to restrain the increase, the authorities kept the drug producers from raising the products’ prices.
Premise: the expenditure per capita still kept rising after implementing the prohibition.
Prephrase: after the prices stop rising, per capita can afford more drugs and more people who can not afford the drugs begin to use the drugs now.

A
A: the policy only aims at the existent drugs, it cannot be imposed on the new drugs, so the new drugs can be set with high price, which cause the rise of expenditure per capita on drugs continue.
B: irrelevant information
C: unconnected with the profit.
D: common drugs is different from prescription drugs
E: if it is true the amount of drugs sold will decline.
4、Background: The prehistoric cave paintings of a now-extinct species of animal is different of the fossils of the animal.
Premise: even the difference exists, the cave paintings should not be regarded as inaccurate.
Prephrase: since some many years passed by, there must be some natural changes on the cave paintings, or because of the natural geographic movement, the fossils might be broke or reconstructed.

C
A: what if the cave paintings depicted animals as having hump are all inaccurate?
B: irrelevant
C: it supports the argument.
D: irrelevant
E: the species in the paintings have extincted.
5、Background: outsourcing means that a company get a product or service which are provided by itself from other independent suppliers.
Premise: in order to curb the decline in profits, Vernon Inc. plans to lower the cost by outsourcing some parts of products which it used to manufacture.
Prephrase: those parts Vernon plan to outsource do account high cost but low profit. The outsourcing suppliers can provide the parts with same quality but lower cost than Vernon do.

E
A: as Vernon cannot find the suitable outsourcing suppliers, it weakens the argument.
B: irrelevant to lower the cost
C: irrelevant
D: what if the bitted suppliers still cannot produce the parts in a lower cost than Vernon does itself?
E: with the help of outsourcing, the top managers would better concentrate in the core business, which is profitable to Vernon.
