Q22: City Official: At City Hospital, uninsured patients tend to have shorter stays and fewer procedures performed than do insured patients, even though insured patients, on average, have slightly less serious medical problems at the time of admission to the hospital than uninsured patients have. Critics of the hospital have concluded that the uninsured patients are mot receiving proper medical care. However, this conclusion is almost certainly false. Careful investigation has recently shown two things: insured patients have much longer stays in the hospital than necessary, and they tend to have more procedures performed than are medically necessary. In the city official’s argument, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles? A. The first states the conclusion of the city official’s argument; the second provides support for that conclusion. B. The first is used to support the conclusion of the city official’s argument; the second states that conclusion. C. The first was used to support the conclusion drawn by hospital critics; the second states the position that the city official’s argument opposes. D. The first was used to support the conclusion drawn by hospital critics; the second provides support for the conclusion of the city official’s argument. E. The first states the position that the city official’s argument opposes; the second states the conclusion of the city official’s argument. 我觉得这题不选E的~~Critics of the hospital have concluded that the uninsured patients are mot receiving proper medical care. However, this conclusion is almost certainly false. however后面的this conclusion is almost certainly false. 是反对Critics of the hospital ,因为在this conclusion is almost certainly false. 后面说了insured patients have much longer stays in the hospital than necessary也就是说并不是因为uninsured patient没有得到适当的治疗,而是说insured patient做了不必要的治疗,在这里insured patient做了不必要的治疗并不能推出the uninsured patients are mot receiving proper medical care.这可是GMAT逻辑的特点呢~~所以第二个BF是反对Critics of the hospital 的,因为选项里没有反对critics of the hospital所以就选Dsupport for the conclusion of the city official’s argument. |
