9. 瞢对
[Background] - five senses are different and can’t stimulate the others.
[Premise] – HOWEVER, some ppl taste a banana and claim that they are tasting blue, or see a color and say that it has a specific smell.
[Conclusion] – synesthesiacs do not respect the usual boundaries between senses

求weaken
[Prephrase] –?

(A)
(B) irrelevant/indirect－题干讨论的是five senses, 其它sense与其无关。看了bala的解释后补充：选项点到了‘other senses’，但没有直接讲清楚‘other senses’与‘synesthesia’的关系。
(C) irrelevant, 解题的方向应是“为什么synesthesiacs的共感不等于感官混乱”，但（C）选项只是更为展开描述synesthesia pattern (共感)的情况，并没有解释‘为什么’。
(D) out of scope
(E) strengthen/irrelevant

Answer: C ( A)

2.    Caterpillar emerges from the egg on a tree branch immediately climbs upward until it finds a leaf bud to eat. Biologists though that this behavior displayed an innate tendency to move in the direction opposite to the pull of gravity.
However, a strong light source was placed at the bottom of a tree, caterpillar climbed downward.
Prephase, the biologist’s view is wrong.
Answer: C

3.    Background: for many years, per capita expenditure on prescription drugs in V rose.
Premise:　the ministry prohibit drug manufactures from raising any of their products’ price.

(C)there's a different pattern? -----irrelevant
(D)good to know but-----irrelevant
(E)good to know but-----irrelevant


Answer: A

Butterfly climb up after emerged from the egg.
专家说：they climb to the opposite direction of the gravity
实验：they climb towards the light, although it is the same direction of the gravity


(A)if so, why they climb down when putting the light at the bottom? --------Wrong
(B)if they cannot see in the dark why climbing downwards?-----------incorrect
(C)this explain why they climb up and climb downwards when the light was at the bottom ------------correct answer
(D)really? then why they climb down in the experiment?--------------incorrect
(E)good to know but----irrelevant


Answer: C


3. 0:45
(A)although they produce other product, this does not means their price is increased?---irrelevant
(B)population increase? this should lower the per capital expenditure------Weaken
(C)----irrelevant
(D)gov encourage to buy more----correct
(E)stop marketing? this should decrease the sale of the drug and bring down the profit------Weaken

1. Premise: The five senses have traditionally been viewed as
distinct yet complementary; 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
   Conclusion: synesthesiacs have senses
that do not respect the usual boundaries between the
five recognized senses.

Weaken: If this doesn't really mean synesthesiacs's senses overlap

Answer is A

33 Premise: C has an innate tendency to move in the direction opposite to the pull of gravity. When a strong light source was placed at the bottom of a tree, and caterpillars, after hatching, climbed downward.

Best Support: C is more sensitive to light

Answer is C

34: Premise: the per capita expenditure of prescription medicine is growing at 15% per year. The government has prohibited drug manufacturers from raising any of their products' prices. The use of p... drugs has not increased since then.

Conclusion: the per capita expenditure still raised

Explanation: Either the population decreased, or the total expense increased.

Answer is A

这题我其实一开始错了，直到我老公跟我解释说A的意思其实是政府对已有处方药限价，并不表示新的处方药也要限价. A 符合逻辑链中后面的一种情况。

35. Premise:the last giant deer lived in Ireland about 16,000 years ago. cave paintings in France depict this animal as having a large hump on its back. However, the fossils does not show the lump


Explanation: the painting must be before the last giant deer lived. And we do not know whether the painting is wrong. it could be that in certain period before 16,000, the giant deer did not have the large lump. but the fossils must be showing the real condition. it could also be the lump didn't become part of the fossil.

Answer is C

36. Background: Outsourcing is obtaining from an independent supplier a product or service that a company has previously provided for itself. Company V's profit has declined.
Premise: Some suppliers can provide at lower cost than V.
Conclusion: By outsourcing certain part to the vendor, V can achieve a higher profit

Support: this outsourcing can lower other cost or at least won't generate other cost

Answer is E.

Premise: Each sense is incapable of stimulating the other senses.
Premise: recent research found that someone tastes a banana and claims it taste blue.
Conclusion: Have senses that do not respect the usual boundaries between the five recognized senses.
Inference: weakening the research found.

2 time 1:00
Premise: caterpillar climbs upwards after emerged from eggs.
Premise: Scientist explains that caterpillar climbs on the opposite direction of gravity.
Premise: In recent experiment, caterpillar climbs downward the tree which has a light source putted on the bottom.
Inference: Caterpillar climbs towards the light.
C

3 time 42
Premise: The expenditure of prescription drugs per capita rose 40 percent last year.
Premise: The price of prescription drugs doesn’t increase.
Premise: The expenditure of prescription of drugs per capita keeps rising.
Inference: More prescription drugs have been taken per capita.
There is no correct answer!!!
4 time: 42
Premise: deer has hump in the painting.
Premise: deer doesn’t have hump in its fossil.
Conclusion: There is no reason to conclude that the cave painting of deer is inaccurate, since__
Inference: Hump doesn’t consist of bones.
C: Humps are not composed of bones.
5 time: 42
Premise: What is outsourcing.
Premise: V experienced a decline in its profit.
Conclude: V will outsource those parts to independent suppliers which can provide at lower cost to increase its profit.
Inference: Yes, the cost has been reduced.
Both D and E are quite attractive, but since D mentioned bids which related to the lower cost indirectly, so I think D is the correct answer.

3. OK, I missed a key point that use of prescription drugs did not expand.
So the plausible explanation will be the new medicine.
5. OK, more attention paid by manager, more profit will be earned by company.
But I still emphasize that this answer is also an indirect answer.

精炼：39s weaken
BG:senses--distinct and each own stimuli cannot stimulating others
premise:someone say sth strange

B strenghten
C strenghten
D irrelevant
E correct
本题启示：做的太匆忙，没看好答案就选，首先是weaken，然后E项说的是他们只有少数时间能脱离那种幻觉状态。因此是无法weaken的。
A 项说的是听觉受损，理解东西存在问题。恰好就weaken了argument。

逻辑链：
1.35s assumption
BG:caterpillar tends to climb upwards after hatching.
situation:caterpillars climb downward towards the light source.

light source is the real factor to lead the caterpillar's climbing direction.
choice:C
A that explanation is opposite the former observations.
B not exactly and irrelevant
C correct
D not necessarily
E irrelevant

2.65s paradox
premise:ministry forbid the raises of products' price

explanation:the depression happens again
choice:C
A new medication can be observed if their quantity is vast.
B per capita means the population is irrelevant with this argment
C correct
D conflict with the argument
E weaken the argument

conclusion:the painter paint hump but it cannot be suggested by its fossil.

the premise can be there exist no bones in hump,so it decayed.
