GWD - CR - 大全 附解释(4)

Which of the following, if true, most helps to justify the observers‘ expectation?

A. The increase in corn prices is due more to a decline in the supply of corn than to a growth in demand for it. B. Generally, farmers who are squeezed out of the livestock business send their livestock to market much earlier than

they otherwise would. C. Some people who ate meat regularly in the past are converting to diets that include little or no meat. D. As meat prices rise, the number of livestock producers is likely to rise again.

Journalist: Well-known businessman Arnold Bergeron has long been popular in the state, and he has often talked about running for governor, but he has never run. However, we have just learned that Bergeron has fulfilled the financial

disclosure requirement for candidacy by submitting a detailed list of his current financial holdings to the election commission. So, it is very likely that Bergeron will be a candidate for governor this year.

The answer to which of the following questions would be most useful in evaluating the journalist‘s argument?

A. Has anybody else who has fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement for the upcoming election reported greater

financial holdings than Bergeron? B. Is submitting a list of holdings the only way to fulfill the election commission‘s financial disclosure requirements? C. Did the information recently obtained by the journalists come directly from the election commission? D. Have Bergeron‘s financial holdings increased in value in recent years?

E. Had Bergeron also fulfilled the financial disclosure requirements for candidacy before any previous gubernatorial

elections? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GWD7-Q41:

Magazine Publisher: Our magazine does not have a liberal bias. It is true that when a book review we had commissioned last year turned out to express distinctly conservative views, we did not publish it until we had also obtained a second review that took a strongly liberal position. Clearly, however, our actions demonstrate not a bias in favor of liberal views but rather a commitment to a balanced presentation of diverse opinions.

Determining which of the following would be most useful in evaluating the cogency of the magazine publisher‘s response?

A. Whether any other magazines in which the book was reviewed carried more than one review of the book B. Whether the magazine publishes unsolicited book reviews as well as those that it has commissioned

C. Whether in the event that a first review commissioned by the magazine takes a clearly liberal position the magazine

would make any efforts to obtain further reviews

D. Whether the book that was the subject of the two reviews was itself written from a clearly conservative or a clearly

liberal point of view E. Whether most of the readers of the magazine regularly read the book reviews that the magazine publishes

答案为C

这是EVALUATE题。对答案的两种回答能WEAKEN和SUPPORT原文结论。 如果对C回答是，则支持结论。 对C回答否，则削弱结论。

A：carried more than one review of the book，数量不是问题，问题是性质 B：是否也出版主动送上门来的书评，无关，回答了也没用啊 C：肯定回答，说明在主动寻求平衡；否定回答，说明在消极回避

D：如果原著保守，那么这家报社仍然出版两种书评；如果原著自由，那么这家报社仍然出版两种书评；有什么区别呢？ E：读者读不读是另一回事；无关

GWD-TN-9 GWD-12-Q2:

Scientists are discussing ways to remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by increasing the amount that is absorbed by plant life. One plan to accomplish this is to establish giant floating seaweed farms in the oceans. When the seaweed plants die, they will be disposed of by being burned for fuel.

Which of the following, if true, would indicate the most serious weakness in the plan above?

A. Some areas of ocean in the Southern Hemisphere do not contain sufficient nutrients to support large seaweed farms. B. When a seaweed plant is burned, it releases an amount of carbon dioxide comparable to the amount it has

absorbed in its lifetime. C. Even if seaweed farms prove effective, some people will be reluctant to switch to this new fuel.

D. Each year about seven billion tons of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere but only about five billion

tons are absorbed by plant life. E. Seaweed farms would make more money by farming seaweed to sell as nutritional supplements than by farming

seaweed to sell as fuel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GWD-12-Q11:

In general, jobs are harder to get in times of economic recession because many businesses cut back operations. However, any future recessions in Vargonia will probably not reduce the availability of teaching jobs at government-funded schools. This is because Vargonia has just introduced a legal requirement that education in government-funded schools be available, free of charge, to all Vargonian children regardless of the state of the economy, and that current student-teacher ratios not be exceeded.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

A. The current student-teacher ratio at Vargonia‘s government-funded schools is higher than it was during the most

recent period of economic recession. B. During recent periods when the Vargonian economy has been strong, almost 25 percent of Vargonian children have

attended privately funded schools, many of which charge substantial fees. C …… 此处隐藏：3777字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
