115. School superintendent: It is a sad fact that, until now, entry into the academically best high school in our district has been restricted to the children of people who were wealthy enough to pay the high tuition. Parents who were previously denied the option of sending their children to this school now have the option, since I am replacing the tuition requirement with a requirement that allows only those who live in the neighborhood of the school to attend. The superintendent’s claim about the effect of replacing the tuition requirement relies on the assumption that
A. the residents of the school’s neighborhood tent to be wealthy
B. people other than those wealthy enough to have paid the old tuition are able to live in the neighborhood of the school
C. people less wealthy than those who were able to pay the old tuition are in the majority in the district
D. there are no high schools in the district other than the one referred to by the superintendent
E. there are many people not wealthy enough to have paid the old tuition who wish to have their children attend the school
答案:B 思路: 本题中的替。。。法必须顾及两点,一交不起老学费的可以来读书,而且交不起学费的应能够 live in the neighborhood of the school,如果穷人不能住在这个学校附近,这个替代是无意义的。
A. 反对文中办法。
B. 文中没有提到符合题意。
C. 太偏,文中只讨论the neighborhood of the school,are in the majority in the district并不意味着live in the neighborhood of the school。
D. 文中没有提到。
E. 易混淆,文中已经包含这个意思,不是题目要问的问题。
这题我印象很深,前不久刚遇到。
我的assumption做法是这样。分析结果,措施和背景,取中间逻辑的缺失处就是assumption。
结果:邻里社区的学生无论出生富裕还是不富裕(文中意思是即便不富裕)都能进入这所最好高中。
措施:负责人提出一个计划就是这所最好高中的录取方向从家庭条件转移到社区范围。
背景:很多人付不出学费从而没有选择这所高中。
缺失处:那些付不出学费的人是不是就住在这个社区呢?
可见答案就是B。
E很明显是文中的意思,就是第二句:Parents who were previously denied the option of sending their children to this school now have the option。。。这里已经说家长不考虑把学生送到这所高中是因为付不出学费。那很明显,家长有考虑过送到这高中,不过因为付不出学费而放弃了。
再者,我觉得逻辑题要抓住几个中心词,这题的中心词是neighborhood,best high school,not wealthy。最佳选项应该逻辑上都包含这些中心词,否则,比如说E这个选项,根本没有提到neighborhood,这让“学校负责人提出涉及到社区邻里录取的计划”这个措施没有什么意义,丧失了针对性。作者: mslancaster 时间: 2012-10-18 21:12
