1/Background: researchers found that people with personality disorders had more theta brain waves than those normal people. And the theta brain waves increase when people watch TV.
Premise: watching TV increases the risk of developing personality disorders.
Prephrase: it takes the symptom as the cause of the personality disorders.
C
A: “personality disorders” is not used ambiguously
B: no need to define the phrase “theta brain waves”
C: correct answer
D: the data might be representative
E: the author did not say that
2/Background: ancient towns devastated by earthquakes were found by archeologists.
Premise: They hypothesized the earthquake occurred in A.D. 365.
Prephrase: the latest coins found there are examined to be made in A.D. 365.
B
A: the vessels can be used for many years, so the earthquake might be many years after A.D. 365
B: the minting of coins stopped in A.D. 365 showed the economy activities stopped in the same year, this could imply the towns were deverstated.
C: histories sometimes are unreliable and unsubstantial.
D: statues between A.D. 300 and 400 cannot pinpoint the time of earthquake.
E: irrelevant
3/Background: most patients suffering from debilitating depression report that missing a night’s sleep immediately deteriorate their depression.
Premise: sleep-deprivation cannot be used as a treatment, as well as the conventional treatments which often have serious side effects.
E
A: it means the sleep-deprivation is useful to some patients, then it weakens the argument
B: irrelevant
C: nothing about depression
D: irrelevant
E: it shows sleep-deprivation will make depression worse.
4/Background: many corporations replace their employees with automated equipment, many employees who lose the jobs to automation will need government assistance to survive.

A
A: consistent with my prephrase.
B: irrelevant
C: irrelevant
D: irrelevant
E: irrelevant
5/Background: hospitals rely primarily on revenues from paying patients to offset losses from unreimbursed care. Almost all paying patients rely on governmental or private health insurance to pay. The insurers begin to limit their paying to hospital for insured patients to amounts at or below actual costs.
Prephrase: while the private patients cannot pay the hospital bills and the hospital cannot offset the losses from unreimbursed care, they will turn to government, and government will lift the tax rate of insurers to cover the increased expense.

1.[18s]
P: personality disorders more? more brain waves; watch TV?increase the brain waves
C: watching TV increase the risk of personality disorders.
Questionable reasoning: the two brain waves are different because the different cause.
A: (A) uses the phrase “personality disorders” ambiguously?no ambiguity.
(B) fails to define the phrase “theta brain waves”?there is no need to define this words
(C) takes a correlation to imply a causal connection--R
(D) draws a conclusion from an unrepresentative sample of data?can not figure whether the sample is represent or not.

【精炼1-18】
weaken_27s
background information:people with certain disorder personality have more theta waves than those without these disorders.
premise:data show that when people watch TV, the theta waves will increase
conclusion:watch too much TV will increase the risk of developing the disorder personality.

(A)uses the phrase "personality disorders"ambiguously——has no effect on this issue
(B)fails to define the phrase "theta brains wave" ——irrelevant
(C)takes a correlation to imply a casual connection——correct
(D)draws a conclusion from unrepresentative sample data——if data is unreliable, it could weaken the conclusion, but on this issue, it has no effect.
(E)infers that watching TV is a consequence of personality disorder——the conclusion is that watching TV could increase the risk of developing personality disorder. It is not the consequence.

Researcher: People with certain personality disorders have more theta brain waves than those without such disorders. But my data show that the amount of one’s theta brain waves increases while watching TV. So watching too much TV increases one’s risk of developing personality disorders.A questionable aspect of the reasoning above is that it
(A) uses the phrase “personality disorders” ambiguously

I do not understand how this works.

there is no options at all.
-- by 会员 HarrisZheng (2011/12/6 22:54:32)



I share the same confusion with you.
But, I just consider the "sleep-deprivation" as "more sleeping"

1.
(1)23s  questionable
(2)逻辑链
∵Disorder——>more theta brain waves
Watch TV——>more theta brain waves
∴watch TV——>personality disorder
(3)A能导致B,C能导致B,但没有其他证据不能推出A能导致C
(4)C同猜测,正确

2.
(1)26s support
(2)逻辑链
Facts:
Excavation of the ancient city of Kourion on the island of Cyprus revealed a pattern of debris and collapsed buildings typical of towns devastated by earthquakes.

所以,选E

4.
(1)25s support
(2)逻辑链
Background:
In many corporations, employees are being replaced by automated equipment in order to save money.

(1)1’30’’ must be true看了半天没看懂。。。
(2)逻辑链
∵Hospitals relied primarily on revenues from paying patients
