试题详情

题目:

In the year following an eight-cent increase in the federal tax on a pack of cigarettes, sales of cigarettes fell ten percent.  In contrast, in the year prior to the tax increase, sales had fallen one percent.  The volume of cigarette sales is therefore strongly related to the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes.
 
The argument above requires which of following assumptions?

选项:

A、During the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes did not increase by as much as it had during the year prior to the tax increase.
B、The one percent fall in cigarette sales in the year prior to tax increase was due to a smaller tax increase.
C、The pretax price of a pack of cigarettes gradually decreased throughout the year before and the year after the tax increase.
D、For the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes was not eight or more cents lower than it had been the previous year.
E、As the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes rises, the pretax price also rises.

答案:

D

提问:

选的A。A里面说pretax price of a pack of cigarettes did not increase by as much as it had during the year prior to the tax increase就是排除了税前价格变动可能带来的结果,相当于排除了一个有关变量,应该是一个assumption。

想问下唐塘老师这一题能不能有更快的方法,我是硬读选项和题目的意思做出来的,感觉都有提到两种tax和price就不大好排除

提问:

麻烦唐瑭老师帮助解答下,多谢! 我的思路:按照问题定位在最后一句-->最后一句描述sales&after-tax price 的关系-->选项中abcd均为pre tax(E由于无关直接删除),既然都说的pre tax,按照sales和tax的关系,比较后B更合适。 1.选D的原因?按照课上所说,我理解D重点在比较级且是与以前年度比较,最后一句并未提及以前年度。 2.之后碰到这种题目,比如选项只说pre tax,但原文是after tax,考虑最后一句描述sales&after-tax price 的关系,可能还会考虑B,需要纠正的点在哪里呢? 多谢唐瑭老师!

提问:

这道题的逻辑链是 增加8%的税收之后,香烟的销量下降了10%. 在增加税收之前的一年,香烟销量只下降了1%. 所以香烟销量的下降,是因为税收增加. 问结论的前提是什么? 我觉得前提应该是. 不存在税收下降了,香烟的销量反而上升的情况 不理解D的意思. 然后我选的是B也不太懂. 能讲一下这两个选项分别在说什么吗?是怎么样作为前提的

提问:

老师,想问一下,之前唐老师上课说,尽可能就读最后一句。我读完最后一句,感觉是销量和价格之前的关系,于是选了B……请问这种思路在这道题的应用上出了什么问题啊?

我选了A,题目读懂了。但是听了好几个老师的录音,扯来扯去的还是没搞明白A为什么不对。请老师对A和D再做一个翻译和解释。以及这m种类型的题,应该从何入手。谢谢老师

提问:

我的思路 假设题选有否定意思的,然后就剩AD了,A读不明白,D读得差不多,但是不能和原文产生逻辑关系。 问题是 1. D选项是怎么和原文有关系的?2.在模考专区看到假设题 取非 不清楚意思,是看选项去掉否定词后的意思吗?

提问:

假设题是不是都能根据先看选项,把主句没有not的去掉,然后看剩下的哪个选项对原文有削弱作用?还有一个就是有老师说到虚跟实的事情,具体是什么意思,怎么叫虚,怎么叫实?虚的原文都要看,而实的是部分看吗,这个部分如何选择?这种虚实的说法是针对所有的演绎题还是只有加强和削弱?

老师 这道题关键是要清楚after tax=pretax+tax对吧?
