除了上面的TEST1-SECTION IV-6,还有以下几题,有谁能告诉我吗?
t1-s2-21
A low-pressure weather system is approaching P; rainfall results from about 70% of such systems in the P area. Moreover, the current season, spring, is the time of year in which thundershowers, which sometimes result from low-pressure systems, are most likely to occur in P.
Knowing which one of the following, in addition to the information above, would be most useful for determining the probability that P will have a thundershower soon?
B the percentage of spring rainfalls in P that are thundershowers
C the percentage of thundershowers in P that result from low-pressure systems
答案是B，但是C好象比B更直接，为什么不是C呢？

t1-s2-22
It is illogical to infer a second and different effect from a cause which is known only by one particular effect. This is incorrect because the inferred effect must necessarily be produced by some different characteristic of the cause than is the observed effect, which already serves entirely to describe the cause.
Which one of the following arguments makes the same logical error as the one described by the author in the passage?
A An anonymous donor gave a thousand dollars to our historical society. I would guess that that individual also volunteers at the children’s hospital.
不明白什么意思？
多谢多谢!

咦?怎么还是没有人啊?你们什么时候出关啊?我又有2提想请教:
t2-IV-10
Even if a crime that has been committed by computer is discovered and reported, the odds of being both arrested and convicted greatly favor the criminal.
Each of the following, if true, supports the claim above EXCEPT:
A The preparation of computer-fraud cases takes much more time than is required for average fraud cases, and the productivity of prosecutors is evaluated by the number of good cases made.
A的后半句是什么意思？

t2-IV-13
A: H admits that he has influence with high government officials. He further admits that he sold that influence to an environmental interest group. There can be no justification for this kind of unethical behavior.
M: I disagree that he was unethical. The group that retained H’s services is dedicated to the cause of preventing water pollution. So, in using his influence to benefit this group, H also benefited the public.
A and M disagree on whether
B the consequences of H’s behavior can ethically justify that behavior
D the meaning of ethical behavior is the same in a public situation as in a private one
应该是B对，但是我觉得D也可以吧？ D：A是从H的个人行为来看，M是从公众利益的角度来看。
多谢!

TEST1-SECTION IV-6：
医生劝病人别把Mother-infant bonding比作instant glue。
instant glue不好翻译，但从医生的这句话中可看出病人在作类比。

t1-s2-22
我的理解：
仅从一个结果去推原因的其他结果是不对的，导出结果必须有原因的不同特征来决定。
A答案一个人捐钱给society是一个结果
能推出他捐钱给医院这样的结果。要看他捐钱的动机

t1-s2-22我有点明白了,还要再消化消化
TEST1-SECTION IV-6：
那B She cites evidence to show that the patient’s worry is unfounded有什么错呢?

jeannette

t1-s2-22你的意思是不是说:A推出B和C,但是BC不能互推,必须由A的不同特性决定推出B或C.是这样的吗?
BTW,消息收到!

to jeannette：
TEST1-SECTION IV-6
B错在医生并未引用evidence。

t1-s2-21
B答案没问题，两个比例相乘即可。
C答案，要注意到原文“which sometimes result from low-pressure systems”
即某些雷阵雨不是由low-pressure systems导致，所以就算知道 the percentage of thundershowers that result from low-pressure systems，要确定probability还不够。

t2-IV-13
如果选B，那就是说A,M在ethical behavior 是否有相同意思分歧，违背原文意思。
可是这提答案是B哎! 是不是你也觉得D好?

t2-IV-10
A的后半句指公诉人的办案成果由它所办的good case决定。
t2-IV-13
如果选D，那就是说A,M在ethical behavior 是否有相同意思分歧，文中并没提到啊。

不好意思，我写错了。
应该是“如果选D，那就是说A,M在ethical behavior 是否有相同意思上产生分歧，这不符合原文意思啊。”
另外几题见第10页

to zyh79,

前几天把LZM看了一遍,现在继续做eLSAT, 又有几道题请教!

T10-S2-7
7. Waste management companies, which collect waste for disposal in landfills and incineration plants, report that disposable plastics make up an ever-increasing percentage of the waste they handle. It is clear that attempts to decrease the amount of plastic that people throw away in the garbage are failing.

Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

(A) Because plastics create harmful pollutants when burned, an increasing percentage of the plastics handled by waste management companies are being disposed of in landfills.

(B) Although many plastics are recyclable, most of the plastics disposed of by waste management companies are not.

(C) People are more likely to save and reuse plastic containers than containers made of heavier materials like glass or metal.

(D) An increasing proportion of the paper, glass, and metal cans that waste management companies used to handle is now being recycled.

(E) While the percentage of products using plastic packaging is increasing, the total amount of plastic being manufactured has remained unchanged.

答案D,我觉得好像没有一个对,题干说disposable plastics的比例增长了,所以减少人们抛弃plastics的努力失败了" D在说以前废物处理公司处理的paper,glass等可以循环利用了,不相关嘛,难道是因为这些paper,glass能循环再利用了,人们就不再把它们]扔掉,自己在家里循环利用吗,glass在家里可以这样,paper在家了怎么recycle啊?

Lucien: Public-housing advocates claim that the many homeless people in this city are proof that there is insufficient housing available to them and therefore that more low-income apartment are needed. But that conclusion is absurd. Many apartments in my own building remain unrented and my professional colleagues report similar vacancies where they live. Since apartments clearly are available, homelessness is not a housing problem. Homelessness can, therefore, only be caused by people’s inability or unwillingness to work to pay the rent.

Maria: On the contrary, all recent studies show that a significant percentage of this city’s homeless people hold regular jobs. These are people who lack neither will nor ability.

15. Maria responds to Lucien’s argument by

(A) challenging the accuracy of the personal experiences he offers in support of his position

(B) showing that a presupposition of his argument is false

(C) presenting evidence that calls into question his motives for adopting the view he holds

(D) demonstrating that the evidence he offers supports a conclusion other than the conclusion he draws from it

(E) offering an alternative explanation for the facts he cites us evidence supporting his conclusion

B是答案,presupposition是不是指people’s inability or unwillingness to work to pay the rent.但是presupposition好像是指"前提条件"等类似意思,而这句话似乎说成是an explanation of homelessness更合适,要不就是我对presupposition理解不全面

16. Some people take their moral cues from governmental codes of law; for them, it is inconceivable that something that is legally permissible could be immoral.

Those whose view is described above hold inconsistent beliefs if they also believe that

(A) law does not cover all circumstances in which one person morally wrongs another

(B) a legally impermissible action is never morally excusable

(C) governmental officials sometimes behave illegally

(D) the moral consensus of a society is expressed in its laws

(E) some governmental regulations are so detailed that they are burdensome to the economy

这题选A,我不太理解问题

谢谢!
