八月去香港去考考免费的。申请上了就要提前考一次，呵呵。。。还没复习。忙于工作。。。希望顺利。

When demand for a factory’s products is high, more money is spent at the factory for safety precautions and machinery maintenance than when demand is low. Thus the average number of on-the-job accidents per employee each month should be lower during periods when demand is high than when demand is low and less money is available for safety precautions and machinery maintenance.

Which of the following, if true about a factory when demand for its products is high, casts the most serious doubt on the conclusion drawn above?

(A) Its employees ask for higher wages than they do at other times.

(B) It s management hires new workers but lacks the time to train them properly.

(C) Its employees are less likely to lose their jobs than they are at other times.

(D) Its management sponsors a monthly safety award for each division in the factory.

(E) Its old machinery is replaced with moderns, automated models.

这道题目的答案是B，我有一点疑问。以下是引用 borbear的解释：

题干：增加安全设备维护资金　－〉月人均事故减少
　　　削弱：雇了一大帮未经上岗培训新手；（光增加安全设备维护资金有什么用呢？）
这是一个论据无效型削弱，即说明由原来论据推不出结论。

我选的是E。我觉得E和D也可以削弱啊！

题干：增加安全设备维护资金　－〉月人均事故减少
E 削弱：公司在DEMAND高的时候更换了新的设备 -〉所以与人均事故减少而非增加安全维护的资金的结果

D 削弱：公司设定monthly safety award刺激员工们工作时加倍小心以赢得奖金 --〉人均事故减少而非增加安全维护的资金的结果

答案B怎么就比D,E好了呢？请大家帮忙解释解释！！！！很多时候自己做错了，一看到答案就知道为什么错了，可是这道题我看到答案的时候完全摸不着头脑！！

刚才忘了说了，这是OG188题，以下是ETS得解释：（先谢谢大家了！）

The passage concludes that in a factory the average number of on-the-job accidents per employee is likely to decline when demand for the factory’s products is high, on the grounds that more money gets spent on safety measures when demand is high than at other times. You are asked to identify a fact that casts doubt on this conclusion. Choice B is the best answer. Factory workers who are newly hired and not properly trained are more likely to have on-the-job accidents than are trained and experienced factory workers, so the presence of such workers could very well counteract the benefits of spending more on safety. That employees ask for higher wages has no direct bearing on how likely they are to have on-the-job accidents, so choice A is not a correct answer. There is no straightforward connection between factory employees’ job security and their likelihood of suffering an on-the-job accident so choice C is not correct. Choice D suggests that at least part of the money spent on safety precautions is spent to reward safe work practices, and so tends to support rather than cast doubt on the conclusion. Since modern, automated machinery is likely to be safer to operate than machinery it replaces, choice E casts no doubt on the conclusion.

好像很多工作总是与酒分不开。。。要不是洋酒就是白酒，最好也是红酒。完了还得去喝啤酒。瞎抱怨一下，呵呵。

正如ETS所说的，也是我看到的想法，D选项就是说需求上升，就可以投入更多钱用于安全生产，就可以换新设备。并不会削弱原来的结论。对吧。挺直观的。逻辑学只学过数理逻辑，不过已经忘了。现在就只能这么直白的说说了。这道题不算太费解，或者说其他候选项实在差太远。

刚才先看你下面一个帖子了。看完你中文描述的，知道你没太看清楚原题的conclusion。

建议仔细读读。原题的conclusion应该指“on-the-job accidents per employee each month should be lower ”，而没有你所添加的那个尾巴。。。对不对?

番茄，削弱题的答案，必须一定能够削弱结论，而不是可能可以削弱，可能不能削弱。原文说，投入了更多的安全资金，那么，D说的奖金可能就是用这笔资金来设立的，E的设备也可能是用这笔资金来换的，既然如此，怎么可能削弱呢？B就不同了，员工不被培训，和投不投入安全资金完全没有关系，必然可以削弱的。

今天做了XY第4套，即修改后的GWD第6套。这套重题比较少，只有三个，所以替换的题目应该不会影响到第6套的完整性和难度吧。错了3个（当然有两个争议题我认为是自己对，嘿嘿），小小的得意一下。

现在最担心的就是这些题都是上次做过的题，会影响我对自己真实水平的判断，虚伪的正确率...

哪里哪里，自愧不如阿。洋酒/白酒不管啥牌子，10杯必头疼。就是不醉，特别辛苦。。。不如各位酒精考验的战友啊。
