以下是引用lawyer_1在2004-9-16 8:43:00的发言：

原文结论是新工作没去年多。新工作分两部分previously established companies 产生的新工作和new companies 产生的新工作。原文已知道previously established companies 产生的新工作没去年多，需要的假设是今年的new companies 产生的新工作和去年new companies 产生的新工作比较情况。对于A所说的new companies 产生的新工作比previously established companies 产生的新工作多和原文的结论没关系。比较对象错误。

Many people suffer an allergic reaction to certain sulfites, including those that are commonly added to wine as preservatives.  However, since there are several wine makers who add sulfites to none of the wines they produce, people who would like to drink wine but are allergic to sulfites can drink wines produced by these wine makers without risking an allergic reaction to sulfites.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

A.        These wine makers have been able to duplicate the preservative effect produced by adding sulfites by means that do not involve adding any potentially allergenic substances to their wine.

B.         Not all forms of sulfite are equally likely to produce the allergic reactions.

C.        Wine is the only beverage to which sulfites are commonly added.

D.        Apart from sulfites, there are no substances commonly present in wine that give rise to an allergic reaction.

E.         Sulfites are not naturally present in the wines produced by these wine makers in amounts large enough to produce an allergic reaction in someone who drinks these wines.

     这题始终不明白为什么选E啊，我选的D。哪位可以帮忙解释下啊~~THX

没有创纪录的更多的新公司成立à
        不可能break去年的new job created record

答案：新公司平均提供的new job是和去年一样的（排除一个新公司可能提供很多工作的可能）

我的理解

Q13:

With a record number of new companies starting up in Derderia, and with previously

established companies adding many new jobs, a record number of new jobs were created

last year in the Derderian economy. This year, previously established companies will not

be adding as many new jobs overall as such companies added last year. Therefore, unless

a record number of companies start up this year, Derderia will not break its record for

new jobs created.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies?

A. In a given year, new companies starting up create more new jobs on average than

do previously established companies.

B. The number of people seeking employment is no larger this year than it was last

year.

C. This year, the new companies starting up will not provide substantially more jobs

per company than did new companies last year.

D. Previously established companies in Derderia will be less profitable this year than

such companies were last year.

E. The number of jobs created in the Derderian economy last year was substantially

larger than the number of jobs lost.

这道题我也选C，但理解与LAWYER和加菲猫的不一样。我觉得最重要的是理清题目的中述概念的范围问题。

题干：去年新增new company starting up，加上previously established company,所以新增许多就业机会。今年preveiously established company 创造就业机会比such companys(即指previously established company 自己)去年创造的少，所以结论：今年除非又有新的a record number of companies start up出现，否则就业机会总数不会超过去年。assumption就是：去年新增new company starting up今年创造的就业机会不变或更少。所以选C。

 值得注意的是，C中的第一个出现的new company starting up与第二个出现的new company都是指去年新建的公司，即题干第一句话的那个新建公司，是自我比较，不是指题干最后出现的a record number of new company starting up，题干最后出现的仅指今年新公司。

简而言之：去年就业机会=previously established company + new company starting up(新1)， 今年就业机会中previously established company 少了，只有新1不变或更少，才需要新增今年新公司（新2）才能打破去年记录。选项C中的两个new company 均指新1.

真罗嗦，供大家参考。 

除非是这么理解了，不然我真没办法说服自己。我也把去年才建立的公司今年就当成previously了……

ETS那帮人怎么这么别扭阿，也不怕把自己的脑子绕晕了~

总Jobs的数量= 以前公司的jobs + 新成立公司jobs

以前公司的jobs：今年的<去年

结论：总Jobs的数量：今年的<去年

假设：新成立公司jobs：今年<= 去年

都是自己和自己以前在比较

看了35楼的终于明白了，

上面大家说的好绕啊，原来我的逻辑只能理解个简单的

Many people suffer an allergic reaction to certain sulfites, including those that are commonly added to wine as preservatives.  However, since there are several wine makers who add sulfites to none of the wines they produce, people who would like to drink wine but are allergic to sulfites can drink wines produced by these wine makers without risking an allergic reaction to sulfites.  





Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?  





A.        These wine makers have been able to duplicate the preservative effect produced by adding sulfites by means that do not involve adding any potentially allergenic substances to their wine.  





B.         Not all forms of sulfite are equally likely to produce the allergic reactions.

E.         Sulfites are not naturally present in the wines produced by these wine makers in amounts large enough to produce an allergic reaction in someone who drinks these wines.

这题我一开始也选择D, 现在已经明白为什么要选择E了。

首先我们看E: 把E选项取非，如果Sulfites本身就在酒里，不是人工造成的，那现在及时我们去喝没有人工添加该物质的酒，依旧会对Sulfites过敏的。取非后对结论起到了很好的削弱作用。属于defender,所以这是assumption.

其次我们看D: 原文讨论的对一种叫sulfites物质的过敏，可是D只讲了广泛意义的过敏，我们把D取非，即使说除了sulfites以外，还有其它物质导致人们喝酒后会产生过敏，那也并不能证明结论其它物质导致人们对sulfites产生过敏反应！取非后没有对结论起到削弱。

这个最清楚了，但我觉得要我自己肯定想不到，一般人都会觉得去年的新公司今年就是旧的了啊

我觉得楼上几位不大明白的主要原因是没看清题。要把 a record number of new jobs和a record number of companies分清楚。

-- by 会员 new_new (2005/3/8 16:21:00)

这句话，让我豁然开朗。a record number of new jobs: jobs 达到最大值。 a record number of company： 新开公司个数最大值。 那么答案必然和jobs per company 的数值有关。
