22. In 1992, a major newspaper circulated throughout North American paid its reporters an average salary paid by its principle competitors to their reporters. An executive of the newspaper argued that this practice was justified, since any shortfall that might exist in the reporters’ salaries is fully compensated by the valuable training they receive through their assignments.
Which one of the following, if true about the newspaper in 1992, most seriously undermines the justification offered by the executive?
(A) Senior reporters at the newspaper earned as much as reporters of similar stature who worked for the newspaper’s principle competitors.
(B) Most of the newspaper’s reporters had worked there for more than ten years.
(C) The circulation of the newspaper had recently reached a plateau, after it had increased steadily throughout the 1980s.
(D) The union that represented reporters at the newspaper was different from the union that represented reporters at the newspaper’s competitors.
(E) The newspaper was widely read throughout continental Europe and Great Britain as well as North America.
答案是B，但是为什么呢？


23. On a certain day, nine scheduled flights on Swift Airlines were canceled. Ordinarily, a cancellation is due to mechanical problems with the airplane scheduled for a certain flight. However, since it is unlikely that Swift would have the mechanical problems with more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day, some of the nine cancellations were probably due to something else.
The argument depends on which one of the following assumptions?
(A) More than one or two airplanes were scheduled for the nine canceled flights.
(B) Swift Airlines has fewer mechanical problems than do other airlines of the same size.
(C) Each of the canceled flights would have been longer than the average flight on Swift Airlines.
(D) Swift Airlines had never before canceled more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day.
(E) All of the airplanes scheduled for the canceled flights are based at the same airport.
答案是A，我选了D。

但是，这只是我们的主观认为，实际上文章里面没有说工作时间和培训的关系。

23，其假设是基于since it is unlikely that Swift would have the mechanical problems with more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day，因此答案是A.如果 one or two airplanes were sheduled for the nine cancelled flights,那就得不出结论some of the nine cancellations were probably due to something else。另外请注意airplane 和flights 的关系。

老兄，你搞错了一个关键的字since it is unlikely that Swift would have the mechanical problems with more than one or two SHEDULED FLIGHTS on a single day，大写部分应该改成airplanes.
这是桥梁型假设。

22, hi, buddy,I ever hesitated to choice B,actually, compared to the others, B is the best though it is not perfect.

franklin,对，我把关键的文字搞错了。非常感谢。
tigerlv，谢谢。
