请问
1."年轻人犯的罪大部分是小偷及破坏公物"这个条件要怎么weaken argument?
2.段落里they are unlikely to affect the problem that concerns citizens一句该如何翻译 特别是最后2个字
3.E为什么不对? 很多课后的program都是到6点 不就意味着青少年在六点以前是不会在外游荡的吗?
这不是可以weaken题目最后一句话most crimes committed by local teenagerstake place between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
LZ的问题很有代表性!简而言之,LZ没有抓住weaken题目的核心方法。我记得Bible里在weaken这个题型部分有三句话:
- "The key to weakening a GMAT argument is to attack the conclusion",
- "Keep in mind that to attack is not the same as to destroy", and
- "Answers that weaken the argument's conclusion will attack the assumptions made by the author."
关于第二个问题:GMAT不会直接attack premises,也就是那些facts/evidence,所以抓住argument的conclusion才是解题关键。
这个argument的conclusion是:they are unlikely to affect the problem thatconcerns citizens. 这个句子里面都是指代。"they" = "measures"; "the problem that concerns citizens" = "Citizens of Parktown are worried by theincreased frequency of serious crimes committed by local teenagers." 所以LZ的第二个问题不在于如何翻译,而是如何找到这个句子里面的指代内容,并且读懂他们。一旦找到argument的main conclusion,还需要找到相应的premise,即"since most crimes committed by local teenagerstake place between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m." 在GMAT中看到most这些词要小心。在这个reasoning中,the author makes an assumption: serious crimes = most crimes. 答案B attack的就是这个assumption。只有弄明白main conlusion和premises才能确认B是正确的。
关于第一个问题:B只是attack the conclusion,implying that serious crimes take place in the late evening. 只是说afternoon以小偷小摸为主,可能有serious crimes,但不多。
关于第三个问题:E选项既无法attack the premise也无法attack the main conclusion. 学校提供afterschools不代表干坏事的teenagers一定参加。即使这些干坏事的teenagers都参加了下午的afterschools,他们还可以在晚上或weekends干坏事。根本就无法weaken the argument,即说明measure还是有效的。
回头再来看答案B, 会不会觉得bible总结得很准确。The author在使用之前的premises做出conclusion时偷换了概念,所谓的make an assumption. Correct Answers weaken the argument's conclusion by attacking (bot not destroying) the assumption.
