第一个13题，我原来也做错了，选D，看了答案以后，觉得E是对的。最后一句话的意思不是B吧，而是说应该自上而下遵守这个规定。

说错了，A是对的。

13我的LSAT答案是a.你再确认一下。
第二题我的答案就是e,真是奇怪。ALBERT要不我们把答案互相交换一下吧。是哪里出问题了。

我的答案跟MIKE的一样。

mike1999

我怀疑B有打印错误。因为从语法上讲把句子补全是：The stain of virus impaired immune systems much more quickly than it（The stain of virus ） does （impair）healthy immune systems. if translated literally, we have:病毒的瑕疵对免疫系统的侵害要比对健康的免疫系统的侵害来得快。我就不明白免疫系统和健康的免疫系统怎么可以比较，应该至少加上比如：已经受损的，或者不健康的，或者不完善的之类的修饰语。

同意！
另，以前曾看过一些NN说过PACE问题，现在却记不起来了，前10题－再10题－剩余题的时间分配是怎么样的呢？

今天做了快有100道题的阅读,好有成就感.这样我就可以在摸考前把所有题目做完了.
另外,有一道lsat题,大家看看有没有思路:
14. If the proposed tax reduction package s adopted this year, the library will be forced to discontinue its
daily story hours for children. But if the daily story hours are discontinued, many parents will be greatly
inconvenienced. So the proposed tax reduction package will be adopted this year.
Which one of the following, if assumed, allows the argument’s conclusion to be properly drawn?
(A) Any tax reduction package that will not force the library to discontinue daily story hours will be adopted
this year.
(B) Every tax reduction package that would force the library to discontinue daily story hours would greatly
inconvenience parents.
(C) No tax reduction package that would greatly inconvenience parents would fail to force the library to
discontinue daily story hours.
(D) No tax reduction package that would greatly inconvenience parents will be adopted this year.
(E) Any tax reduction package that will not greatly inconvenience parents will be adopted this year.
答案是D,我怎么看它也不象.

我觉得assumption还是从必要条件入手比较快，D就是排除一种可能性：if (other) tax reduction packeage that wiil greatly inconvenience parents will be adopted this year, it is unnecessary to adopt the proposed tax reduction packeage.这样就weaken了结论；不过D也不够严谨，加个other就更好了，但从最优的角度也只有选D了！

这两题我跟老迈的答案一样！另外我有问题时这2题，大家帮忙看看;
18. If the reasoning now playing on the jazz program is really “ Louis Armstrong recorded in concert in 1989.” As the announcer said, then Louis Armstrong was playing some of the best jazz of his career years after his death. Since the trumpeter was definitely Louis Armstrong, somehow the announcer must have gotten the date of the recording wrong.

The patter of reasoning in the argument above is most similar to that in which one of the following arguments?

(A) The museum is reported as having acquired a painting “ by Malvtna Hoffman, an artist who died in 1966”. But Hoffman was sculptor, not a painter, so the report must be wrong about the acquisition being a painting.

(B) This painting titled LA Toilette is Berthe Morisot’s La Toilette only if a painting can be in two museums at the same time. Since nothing can be in two places at once, this painting must somehow have been mistitled.

(C) Only if a twentieth-century Mexican artist painted in Japan during the seventeenth century can this work both be “by Frida Kahlo” as labeled and the seventeenth century Japanese landscape it appears to be. Since it is what it appears to be, the label is wrong.

(D) Unless Kathe Kollwitz was both a sculptor and a printmaker, the volunteer museum guide is wrong in his attribution of this sculpture. Since what Kollwitz is known for is her prints, the guide must be wrong.

(E) If this painting is a portrait done in acrylic, it cannot be by Elisabeth Vigger-Lebrun, since acrylic paint was developed only after her death. Thus, since it is definitely a portrait, the paint must not be acrylic.

答案是C，我选的a


15. Funding opponent: Some people favor city funding for the spaying and neutering of pets at the owners request. They claims that the decrease in the number of stray animals to contend with will offset the costs of the funding. These people fail to realize that over 80 percent of pet owners already pay to spay or neuter their animals, so there will not be a significant decrease in the number of stray animals in the city if funding is provided.

Each of the following, if true, strengthens the argument of the funding opponent EXCEPT:

(A) Very few of the stray animals in the city are offspring of pets.

(B) Many pet owners would have their animals spayed or neutered sooner if funding were provided by the city.

(C) The only way the number of tray animals can decrease is if existing strays are spayed or neutered.

(D) Most people owners who do not have their pets spayed or neutered believed that spaying and neutering are morally wrong.

(E) The majority of pets that are not spayed or neutered are used for breeding purposes, and are not likely to produce stray animals

这题就没怎么看懂，答案B,请指点下！

以下是引用albert在2003-7-8 10:34:00的发言：

Thank , albert, i eventually got it now.

对阿，同意tocean的说法。
tocean的第一题我也不会做。第二替我试着解释一下：
首先这个argument要反驳的第一个小结论是：政府资助是可行的。这些资助是用于spaying and neutering宠物的。用于支持这个小结论的论据是： 游荡的动物数目的下降可以补偿资助的成本。也就是说资助如果能够达到减少走失动物的就达到目的了。T
其次，提出反驳结论的证据：1。80%的人已经开始 spay or neuter宠物了2到处游荡的动物不会有太大的下降。也就是说政府资助达不到目的。
本题的要求是找一个不加强的结论的论断，或者说削弱论断的，也就是证明政府资助可以达到目的。答案B说人们spay or neuter宠物的速度会加快，从另一个方面提出了证明政府资助有效性的证据。其他选项都是支持说政府资助无效的证据。这道题如果理解spay or neuter就更容易了。因为它是阉割的意思。

18题我觉得C与题干一样，都是说两个年代的事物（人物）不可能同时出现。
