OG-44

没人问过44题我来问:

Some people have questioned the judge’s objectivity in cases of sex discrimination against women. But the record shows that in sixty percent of such cases, the judge has decided in favor of the women. This record demonstrates that the judge has not discriminated against women in cases of sex discrimination against women.

The argument above is flawed in that it ignores the possibility that

A. a large number of the judge’s cases arose out of allegations of sex discrimination against women

B. many judges find it difficult to be objective in cases of sex discrimination against women

C. the judge is biased against women defendants or plaintiffs in cases that do not involve sex discrimination

D. the majority of the cases of sex discrimination against women that have reached the judge’s court have been appealed from a lower court

E. the evidence shows that the women should have won in more than sixty percent of the judge’s cases involving sex discrimination against women

The flaw in the argument is that is assumes erroneously that a majority of decisions favorable to women in sex discrimination cases demonstrates absence of discriminatory behavior against women on the part of the judge who made those decisions. E exposes this flaw by pointing out that the judge may well have failed to decide in favor of women in cases where evidence shows that the women should have won. Therefore, it is the best answer.

A and D have no bearing on the reasoning of the argument, because the origin of the cases is not at issue in the argument. B and C introduce considerations with no bearing on the reasoning of the argument. Because the argument concerns a particular judge, and cases of a particular type, B and C are inappropriate.

不是很懂这个部份耶~

E是说证据显示要大于60%的支持才能赢了女性岐视官司所以证明statement中所叙法官没有偏坦女性的说法是有缺陷的吗??

谢谢~

yes. it's quite obvious that there should be more than 60% of such cases be judged in favor of women, while it's only 60%. --> the judges discriminated against women on sex discrimination cases. --> answer E points out the flaw in the conclusion.

我明白啰~

可是做题方法还有点疑问.....

这算是weaken类型的文章吗?还算是assumption呢?

我可以把他看做直接否定因的方法来做吗??

Atongmu NN说：

Assumption：这类题目的逻辑关系是最严密的，吃透assumption题就比较容易体会ETS的推理过程，从而可以对别的题型举一反三，所以我认为它是ETS考题中最重要的一种题型。因为答案给出方式相对比较固定，assumption题的解题技巧也很明确。一般正确答案为2种：1，架桥梁，取消差异；2，排除他因；因而assumption答案是比较容易预测的。

什么是取消差异的架桥梁法??

sorry没上过XDF，

自己在看不懂大家的术语做题时都凭感觉吶~~

tempture

weaken和assumption本来区分就不是那么大。比如有的题weaken的方法是存在它因，或者因果导致，assumption的方法就是证实没有存在它因，没有因果导致。

架桥就是A命题和B结论之间有一个gap，你需要填补它。如果你做到这样的题，就会明白的。我也没有上过XDF

谢谢tempture jj。

这段话就是从你文章中copy Atongmu NN的话的。

你的档案让我有很多启发哦~不然我都像是瞎子在摸象呢~
