Lsat test2 Section IV 3 and 12（题目有附）请教
3. The United States has never been a great international trader. It found most of its raw materials and customers for finished products within its own borders. The terrible consequences of this situation have become apparent, as this country now owes the largest foreign debt in the world and is a playground for wealthy foreign investors. The moral is clear: a country can no more live without foreign trade than a dog can live by eating its own tail.
In order to advance her point of view, the author does each of the following EXCEPT
(A) draw on an analogy
(B) appeal to historical fact
(C) identify a cause and an effect
(D) suggest a cause of the current economic situation
(E) question the ethical basis of an economic situation
问题：
1、 B中的historical fact指的是哪部分？是指开头说的几句话吗?
2、 Moral：寓意；?
3、 C和D是不是说的的一回事? C 和D中的cause都是：It found most of its raw materials and customers for finished products within its own borders.，C中的“an effect”和D中的“the current economic situation”都是：“he terrible consequences of this situation have become apparent, as this country now owes the largest foreign debt in the world and is a playground for wealthy foreign investors.”
12. “Though they soon will, patients should not have a legal right to see their medical records. As a doctor, I see two reasons for this. First, giving them access will be time-wasting because it will significantly reduce the amount of time that medical staff can spend on more important duties, by forcing them to retrieve and return files. Second, if my experience is anything to go by, no patients are going to ask for access to their records anyway.”
Which one of the following, if true, establishes that the doctor’s second reason does not cancel out the first?
(A) The new law will require that doctors, when seeing a patient in their office, must be ready to produce the patient’s records immediately, not just ready to retrieve them.
(B) The task of retrieving and returning files would fall to the lowest-paid member of a doctor’s office staff.
(C) Any patients who asked to see their medical records would also insist on having details they did not understand explained to them.
(D) The new law does not rule out that doctors may charge patients for extra expenses incurred specifically in order to comply with the new law.
(E) Some doctors have all allowing their patients access to their medical records, but those doctors’ patients took no advantage of this policy.
问题：
1、 要求回答的问题是不是：“下面哪一个表明医生的第二个原因不会抵消第一个？”
2、 如果是问这个的话，标准答案是（A），我觉得没有谈到医生说的第二个问题，即：病人不会要记录；因为医生的两个原因有些矛盾，应该是有个做法/原因来解/说明决这些矛盾的。 |
