这道题的样本到底是什么?看HERL笔记,写的是和Savemart竞争的这次,,,没看懂。。。这个不是基于过去的经验,所以预测未来怎么样的么?那么样本为什么是未来的特点或者过去与未来的不同啊?想不通。。。
77. Which of the following most logically completes the argument below? Twenty percent of the stores in Morganville's downtown shopping district will fail within five years because they will be competing directly with the SaveMart discount department store newly opened in East Morganville. The downtown shopping district has lost business at this rate before and has always completely rebounded. Confidence that it will rebound again from the losses it is now about to suffer is ill founded, however, because __________. A. the stores likely to be put out of business by direct competition from SaveMart are the downtown shopping district's anchor stores, on whose ability to draw shoppers many of the other downtown stores depend B. the bus line that has long connected the downtown area of Morganville with East Morganville has a tradition of carrying shoppers who reside in East Morganville into downtown Morganville to shop C. when the downtown shopping district has rebounded before, the business premises of a failed business were typically taken over by a business of the same kind as had been there before D. SaveMart's business plan for the East Morganville store is based on earning low profits, if any, during the first five years of the store's existence E. it is conceivable that the downtown shopping district could shrink substantially without collapsing altogether 1. 由问题问法得知,此题是评估类的题目。
2. 找到前提和结论:
这是一道解释题,一般来说这种题目的结论都是和前提相反的。也就是说,前提的内容在逻
辑上理应能推出一个结论,而论证中在给出一个转折词(诸如however)后,提出一个相反
的结论。然后让我们解释这个“surprising result”。所以本题中本应该有的结论是:“The
downtown shopping district willrebound again”
3. 判断推理模式: 前提:由于SaveMart这种商店的开张,大概有20%在Morganville的商店将要倒闭了。在以前,20%这种比率的倒闭率也发生过,每次都“回弹(rebound)”回来了。
结论:这次应该也可以回弹。
通过前提和结论的逻辑关系,我们知道,该论证基于了过去的“回弹”经验,试图预测现在是否可以回弹。属于比较典型的“由过去预测未来型”统计枚举推理。 4. 找到答案方向: 类统计枚举模式推理有两个CQ: CQ1:样本代表性问题 CQ2:样本数量问题 通过观察两个CQ可知,选项中一定要提到样本,要么提到样本的特殊特点,要么提到一种新的样本。本题中的样本是和SaveMart竞争的这次。(由过去预测未来型的统计枚举推理,样本是未来的特点,或者未来与过去的不同。) |
