Press Secretary:  Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.  They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.  But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors.  So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?

1. Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.
2. The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.
3. The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.
4. The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.
5. Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.

前提：批评家指出近日来总统对一些列高速路工程的撤销表明了其对反对党所管理地区的惩罚。其指出90%的撤销都在这些区域内。 然而由第三方审计报告得出这些撤销工程确实是无用的工程。

结论：总统的措施出于节省财政开支的动机，而非党派争斗

假设要建起前提和结论的桥梁。选项AC DE都超出题目讨论范围。选项B说大多数已经立项的但实际仍未无用的项目并不是在执政派 管辖的地区内，这说明第三方的审计报告是可信的，因此支持结论。

1.      GWD-10-Q33 -Q35旅行社业另辟蹊径走向全球化 

(This passage was excerpted from material

published in 1993.)

Like many other industries, the

travel industry is under increasing

pressure to expand globally in order

Line to keep pace with its corporate cus-

(5) tomers, who have globalized their

operations in response to market

pressure, competitor actions, and

changing supplier relations. But it is

difficult for service organizations to

(10) globalize. Global expansion through

acquisition is usually expensive, and

expansion through internal growth is

time-consuming and sometimes

impossible in markets that are not

(15) actively growing. Some service industry

companies, in fact, regard these

traditional routes to global expansion

as inappropriate for service industries

because of their special need to pre-

(20) serve local responsiveness through

local presence and expertise. One

travel agency has eschewed the traditional

route altogether. A survivor

of the changes that swept the travel

(25) industry as a result of the deregulation

of the airlines in 1978—changes that

included dramatic growth in the corporate

demand for travel services,

as well as extensive restructuring and

(30) consolidation within the travel industry—

this agency adopted a unique structure

for globalization. Rather than expand

by attempting to develop its own offices

abroad, which would require the devel-

(35) opment of local travel management

expertise sufficient to capture foreign

markets, the company solved its

globalization dilemma effectively by

forging alliances with the best foreign

(40) partners it could find. The resulting

cooperative alliance of independent

agencies now comprises 32 partners

spanning 37 countries.

结论解释

Like many other industries, the travel industry… But it is difficult for service organization to globalize, expensive, time-consuming, impossible. One has eschewed.. a survivor… solved dilemma effectively….

 

 

The passage suggests that one of the effects of the deregulation of the airlines was          

1. a decline in the services available to noncommercial travelers
2. a decrease in the size of the corporate travel market
3. a sharp increase in the number of cooperative alliances among travel agencies
4. increased competition in a number of different service industries
5. the merging of some companies within the travel   industry

Unless tiger hunting decreases, tigers will soon be extinct in the wild.  The countries in which the tigers’ habitats are located are currently debating joint legislation that would ban tiger hunting.  Thus, if these countries can successfully enforce this legislation, the survival of tigers in the wild will be ensured.

The reasoning in the argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that the argument

1. assumes without sufficient warrant that a ban on tiger hunting could be successfully enforced
2. considers the effects of hunting on tigers without also considering the effects of hunting on other endangered animal species
3. fails to take into account how often tiger hunters are unsuccessful in their attempts to kill tigers
4. neglects to consider the results of governmental attempts in the past to limit tiger hunting
5. takes the removal of an impediment to the tigers’ survival as a guarantee of their survival
