[讨论]Prep汇总三题未给出答案的题求助!!

1.      Economist: On average, the emergency treatment for an elderly person for injuries resulting from a fall costs $11,000. A new therapeutic program can significantly reduce an elderly person's chances of falling. Though obviously desirable for many reasons, this treatment program will cost $12,500 and thus cannot be justified.

 

 

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the conclusion of the argument?

 

 

A. Among elderly people who had followed the program for only a few months, the number of serious falls reported was higher than it was for people who had followed the program for its recommended minimum length of one year.

B. Falls resulting in serious injuries are less common among elderly people living in nursing homes than they are among elderly people who live alone at home.

C. A frequent result of injuries sustained in falls is long-term pain, medication for which is not counted among the average per-person costs of emergency treatment for elderly people's injuries from such falls.

D. The new therapeutic program focuses on therapies other than medication, since overmedication can cause disorientation and hence increase the likelihood that an elderly person will have a serious fall.

E. A significant portion of the cost of the new therapeutic program is represented by regular visits by health care professionals, the costs of which tend to increase more rapidly than do those of other elements of the program.

1.      Tiger sharks are common in the waters surrounding Tenare Island. Usually tiger sharks feed on smaller sharks, but sometimes they have attacked tourists swimming and surfing at Tenare's beaches. This has hurt Tenare's tourism industry, which is second only to its fishing industry in annual revenues. In order to help the economy, therefore, the mayor of the island has proposed an ongoing program to kill any tiger sharks within a mile of the beaches.

 

 

Which of the following, if true, most strongly calls into question the likelihood that implementation of the mayor's proposal will have the desired consequence?

 

 

A. Even if not all the tiger sharks that come close to the beaches are killed, the existence of the program would reassure tourists.

B. Business owners who depend on tourism are willing to pay most of the cost of implementing the program.

C. Tourists come to Tenare Island for its beaches, even though the island features a number of other tourist attractions.

D.The small sharks on which tiger sharks prey feed on fish that are commercially important to the island's fisheries.

E. Not all tourists who come to Tenare Island enjoy swimming or surfing.

22. Urban air contains more sulfur dioxide than does rural air, and plants in cities typically grow more slowly than do plants in rural areas. In an experiment to see how much of the difference in growth is due to sulfur dioxide, classes in an urban and a rural school grew plants in greenhouses at their schools and filtered the greenhouse air to eliminate sulfur dioxide. Plants in the urban greenhouse grew more slowly than those in the rural greenhouse.

 

 

Which of the following, if true, would it be most important to take into account in evaluating the result?

 

 

A. The urban school was located in a part of the city in which levels of sulfur dioxide in the air were usually far lower than is typical for urban areas.

B. At both schools, the plants in the greenhouses grew much more quickly than did plants planted outdoors in plots near the greenhouses.

C. The urban class conducting the experiment was larger than the rural class conducting the experiment.

D. Heavy vehicular traffic such as is found in cities constantly deposits grime on greenhouse windows, reducing the amount of light that reaches the plants inside.

E. Because of the higher levels of sulfur dioxide in the air at the urban school, the air filters for the urban school's greenhouse were changed more frequently than were those at the rural school.

Can anyone who know the answer offer me the correct answer?

Thanks a lot!

同意楼主答案。

偶不是N人,根据N人们的建议,做逻辑分清前提,结论,找出原文的推理链。这样便于对答案进行分析。个人的分析如下,供参考,不当之处,请指正:

 第1题:

推理过程:treatment for an elderly person for injuries cost $12,500à treatment is not justified.

类型:他因削弱

答案:C,他因,取非可验证。Athe number 不在原文的推理链中,无关比较。B:原文的范围是elderly personB中为living in nursing homesive alone at home比较,更改原文的范围,错。D为迷惑选项,文中focusCOSTD

focuses on therapies other than medication,不过原文的推理链中,且对overmedication的缺点说明,没有对new therapies的优缺点作说明,结果不知道,不能附加自己的前提,作进一步推理来说明new therapies就一定好。Enew therapeutic program自己的cost 相比,分类比较错。

第2题:

推理过程:premise1: tiger sharks feed on smaller shark;

          Premise2: tiger sharks attack tourists à hurt tourism industry

          Information: Tenare’s fishing industry is the most important insustry.

          推理:to help the economyàkill any tiger sharks( can help tourism industry, You may think here, whether this plan can hurt fishing industry?)

  个人认为:对题干分清后,答案就非常明显。建议正在成长的潜在NN们用此方法试试!个人感觉十分有效,做长了,脑子中自然形成推理链,有助于提高逻辑的感觉和正确率。

Thanks for the help!

Appreciated!!

个人也有一些对CR的想法

在这边献个丑!

我认为既然CR的全名是critical reasoning

表明了其重点在于快速发现文章问题重点并直接排除无关选项

以第一题为例

最后结论句说明答案选项必跟cost有关

所以要找跟cost有关的答案选项

秉持这样的心态来练习

互勉之!!
