3CRS (I HATE TO ASK WHY,,BUT I HV NO CHOICE)
1.The museum's night security guard maintains that the thieves who stole the portrait did not enter the museum at any point at or above ground level. Therefore, the thieves must have gained access to the museum from below ground level.
The flawed pattern of reasoning in the argument above is most similar to that in which one of the following?
(A) The rules stipulate the participants in the contest be judged on both form and accuracy. The eventual winner was judged highest in neither category, so there must be a third criterion that judges were free to invoke.
(B) The store's competitors claim that the store ,in selling off the shirts at those prices,neither made any profit nor broke even. Consequently,the store's customers must have been able to buy shirts there at less than the store's cost.
(C) If the census is to be believed ,the percentage fo men who are married is higher than the percentage of women who are married. Thus ,the census must show a higher number of men than of women overall.
(D) The product label establishes that this insecticide is safe for both humans and pets. Therefore, the insecticide must also be safe for such wild mammals as deer and rabits.
(E) As had generally been expected ,not all questionnaires were sent in by the official deadline. It follows that plans must have been made for the processing of questionnaires received late.
答案是（B）， 可我想不明白题干中的错误模式是什么？I DON'T THINK ANY ERROE IN IT
2.Coherent solutions for the problem of reducing health-care costs cannot be found within the current piecemeal system of paying these costs. The reason is that this system gives healty-care providers and insurers every incentive to shift ,wherever possible, the costs of treating illness onto each other or
any other party, including the patient. That clearly is the lesson of the various reforms of the 1980s:
push in on one part of this plible spending balloon and an equally expensive bulge pops up elsewhere.
For exemple ,when the government health-care insurance program for the poor cut costs by disallowing payments for some visits to physicians, patients with advanced illness later presented themselves at hospital emergency rooms in increased numbers.
The argument provides the most support for which one of the following?
(A) Under the conditions in which the current system operates, the overall volume of health-care costs could be shrunk, if at all, only by a comprehensive approach.
(B) Relative to the resources available for health-care funding ,the income of the higher-paid health-care professinals is too highly.
(C) Health-care costsare espanding to meet additional funds that have been made available for them.
(D) Advances in medical technology have raised the expected standards of medical care but have proved expensive.
(E) Since unfilled hospital beds contribute to overhead charges on each patient's bill, it would be unwise to hold unused hospital capacity in reserve for large-scale emergencies.
答案是（A），如文中所说费用在相关部门之间是此消彼长，那么总的费用应该不变呀。
3.It take 365.25 days for the Earth to make one complete revolution around the Sun. Long-standing convention makes a year 365 days long, with an extra day added every fourth year, and the year is
divided into 52 seven-day weeks. But since 52 times 7 is only 364 ,anniversaries do not fall on the
same day of the week each year. Many scheduling problems could be avoided if the last day of each
year and an addtional day every fourth year belonged to no week , so that January 1 would be a Sunday
every year.
The proposal above, once put into effect ,would be most likely to result in continued scheduling conflicts
for which one of the following groups?
(A) People who have birthdays or other anniversaries on December 30 or 31.
(B) Employed people whose strict religious observances require that they refrain from working every seventh day.
(C) School systems that require students to attend classes a specific number of days each year.
(D) Employed people who have three-day breaks from work when holidays are celebrated on Mondays or Fridays.
(E) People who have to plan events several years before those events occur.
