7. There is no reason why the work of scientists has to be officially confirmed before being published. There is a system in place for the confirmation or disconfirmation of scientific finding, namely, the replication of results by other scientists. Poor scientific work on the part of any one scientist, which can include anything from careless reporting practices to fraud, is not harmful. It will be exposed and rendered harmless when other scientists conduct the experiments and obtain disconfirmatory results. Which one of the following, if true, would weaken the argument? (A) Scientific experiments can go unchallenged for many years before they are replicated. (B) Most scientists work in universities, where their work is submitted to peer review before publication. (C) Most scientists are under pressure to make their work accessible to the scrutiny of replication. (D) In scientific experiments, careless reporting is more common than fraud. (E) Most scientists work as part of a team rather than alone. 答案:A,我是用排除法得的A,可是,若A是 Scientific experiments can go unchallenged for many years after they are replicated. 就削弱了结论: It will be exposed and rendered harmless when other scientists conduct the experiments and obtain disconfirmatory results. 可是A说的是before,能削弱吗? 5. A gas tax of one cent per gallon would raise one billion dollars per year at current consumption rates. Since a tax of fifty cents per gallon would therefore raise fifty billion dollars per year, it seems a perfect way to deal with the federal budget deficit. This tax would have the additional advantage that the resulting drop in the demand for gasoline would be ecologically sound and would keep our country from being too dependent on foreign oil producers. Which one of the following most clearly identifies an error in the author’s reasoning? A) The author cites irrelevant data. (B) The author relies on incorrect current consumption figures. (C) The author makes incompatible assumptions. (D) The author mistakes an effect for a cause. (E) The author appeals to conscience rather than reason. 答案:C,我看了好几遍,都不知为什么是这个错误,能否讲讲? 谢谢.

7A,我的理解是正因为在可以复制之前有很长的时候,那么在这段时间里这些试验可能会产生坏处的。文章的推倒是一个试验出了结果加上repilcation=>不会harm,这里我感觉有个假设,那就是出了试验结果马上就有他们复制,这里的A就是针对这个进行削弱的。改成after了就感觉好像感觉就是无关,呵呵是否harm没直接关系了。

5我的理解是有2个假设,1:A gas tax of one cent per gallon would raise one billion dollars per year推a tax of fifty cents per gallon would raise fifty billion dollars per year这里假设别的因素不会变化。2:dependent on foreign oil producers只是因为价格的问题,没有其他的因素。

这道题,我是这样想的。 前面一部分,有一内涵的假设:当消费量提高时才会提高税收收入,从而弥补财政赤子。 后面一部分,又有一内涵的假设:但消费量减少时才会有利于生态保护。 这两个假设是矛盾的。 所有C正确。

同意班主的,也同意楼上的。但楼上说的也有一个小漏洞。因为有可能税收提高的让消费减少同时税收又提高的,跟总消费量有关。
