最近比较忙啊~~~逻辑链的就只好在脑袋里过一遍啦~~就不写出来啦~~~
不太理解第五题为什么选E~~~
1.

Time: 42''

Premise: five senses are distinct yet complementary. A certain kind of people, called XX. Taste a banana, say they are tasting blue.....

Conclusion: such people have sense that do not respect the boundaries between the five sense.

Type: weaken

Prephrase: they are within the boundaries. Yet there must be some other reasons.

Choice: A

2. C   37''

3. B   52''

4. C   21''(这题做过~~)

5. B   49''
------------------------------
发现这一次的逻辑小分队只有俺一个人在做练习诶~~~真是孤军奋战~~~sigh。。。

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~~~

9.【精练】 The five senses have traditionally been viewed as
distinct yet complementary. Each sense is thought to
have its own range of stimuli that are incapable of
stimulating the other senses. However, recent
research has discovered that some people taste a
banana and claim that they are tasting blue, or see a
color and say that it has a specific smell. This shows
that such people, called synesthesiacs, have senses
that do not respect the usual boundaries between the
five recognized senses.
Which one of the following statements, if true, most
seriously weakens the argument?
P1, an experiment , tasting blue, see a smell
C, they have senses that do not respect the usual boundaries between the 5 senses.
W, alternate cause
a. irrelevant b. irrelevant c. correct d. irrelevant e. irrelevant

错了。。。是A。。 求解C的逻辑链

(1)P:5 senses have viewed as distinct yet complementary.
P:each sense has its own range of stimuli that are incapable of stimulating the other senses
P:some people (syn) taste banana and claim taste blue, or see a color and say a special smell.
C:syn have senses that do not respect the usual boundaries between the 5 senses.
Weaken: some other reasons cause syn have this kind of special ability
Answer: A
A.Correct ------ 表明是由于语言能力上的损害使得这类人不能正常表达所感受到的，而不是说这类人不遵从usual boundaries
B.Irrelevant ------ 讨论的是syn会有特殊现象的原因，而不是其他sense
C.Strengthen ------ 这类人的感官重叠遵从一定的模式，强化了结论说syn do not repect the usual boundaries
D.Irrelevant ------ 与话题无关
E.Irrelevant ------ 服药后特殊现象消失并不能说明是否syn respect the usual boundaries.

background:
five sense- traditionally- distinct/ complementary
Each sense is thought to have its own range of stimuli that are incapable of stimulating the other senses.
Premise:
recent research show that some people can taste a banana like taste blue（claim）
Conclusion:
people called S- have senses that do not respect the usual boundaries between the five recognized senses.
Pre:
What S feel may be wrong.(claim≠fact)
My answer: A
Analysis:
A.    correct. If these s have some problem in sensing, then what they claim cannot be the evidence that these people have senses that do not respect the usual boundaries between the five recognized senses.
B.    Irrelevant
C.    This may actually support the conclusion
D.    Irrelevant
E.    Irrelevant

逻辑链
1.    fact：
1)    caterpillar tend to climbs upward until it finds a leaf bud to eat when it emerges from the egg (tree branch)—scientist’s explanation: anti- gravity
2)    when there is a light at the bottom of a tree, the caterpillars tend to climbed downward after hatching.
Pre:
caterpillar- tend to climb to- light place
My answer: C
Analysis：
A.    this cannot explain the first phenomenon
B.    this cannot be found in the passage above
C.    Correct. form the passage we see that caterpillars tend to move to the place where is ligher.
D.    this cannot be found in the passage above
E.    this cannot be found in the passage above
2.    
Background: the per capita expenditure for prescription drugs is high and minister want to curb these increase.
paradox:
prohibit drug manufacturers from raising any of their product’s prices& usage doesn’t EXPAND
BUT the per capita expenditure is still high
Pre: population↓
My answer: A
Analysis:
A. I’m not sure whether this answer is correct.
B. if the population rises, then the per capita expenditure should decrease.
C. Irrelevant
D. Irrelevant
E. Irrelevant
有人可以解释一下为什么A对吗？
3.    
Background：The last members of a now-extinct species of a European wild deer called the giant deer lived in Ireland about 16,000 years ago. Prehistoric cave paintings in France depict this animal as having a large hump on its back.
premise one: Fossils of this animal, however, do not show any hump.
Conclusion：there is no reason to conclude that the cave paintings are therefore inaccurate in this regard
Pre: there must be something wrong with the fossils
My answer: C
Analysis：
A.    Irrelevant
B.    Irrelevant
C.    Correct. if the hump cannot be persevered in the fossil, then the cave paintings are not wrong
D.    Irrelevant
E.    Irrelevant
4.    Background: Outsourcing is the practice of obtaining from an independent supplier a product or service that a company has previously provided for itself
Premise: V- outsourcing some parts of it business to independent suppliers can provide at lower cost than V
Conclusion: profit↑
My answer:
A.    Irrelevant
B.    Irrelevant
C.    Correct. if these companies once become the competitor of V, then they may be cannot achieve as much profit as they do before.（是few啊，是否定啊，这个是opposite答案）
D.    Irrelevant
E.    Irrelevant

我现在觉得是，本来一些琐细的事情将要占用top manager很多处理核心问题的时间，但是现在如果外包了，那么这些时间久可以节约下来，那么说不定就可以更好地处理core problem，这样profit就会上升了（因为时间问题，公司的工作是否efficient，都是cost之一啊，节约时间应该就算节约cost了吧）

（3）不能确定他们确实看到了啥或者闻到了啥，这些都只是他们的主观感受。
（4）A：S现象是一种对于他们运用词汇理解词汇的能力的损伤，与本文讨论的这种现象的存在性无关，loser——语言表达的有损伤，表明这些感官并不重叠
B：文中讨论的是这几种感觉之中有没有交叉，不考虑可能存在的其他感觉，loser
C：他们的特殊感觉都遵循已经确定了的一种模式，所以他们的感觉并不是个性化的，所以这可能并不是S所描述的那样，contender——举例这种同质的表现是完全正常的
D：文中讨论的是S这种现象的存在性，S现象被如何描述与本文讨论的中心无关，loser
E：文中在讨论这种现象的存在性，在基于这种现象存在的基础上的讨论都与文章中心无关，loser
所以，选C
