[Critical Reasoning]

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

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:

In terrestrial environments, gravity places special demands on the cardiovascular systems of animals. Gravitational pressure can cause blood to pool in the lower regions of the body, making it difficult to circulate blood to critical organs such as the brain. Terrestrial snakes, in particular, exhibit adaptations that aid in circulating blood against the force of gravity.   The problem confronting terrestrial snakes is best illustrated by what happens to sea snakes when removed from their supportive medium. Because the vertical pressure gradients within the blood vessels are counteracted by similar pressure gradients in the surrounding water, the distribution of blood throughout the body of sea snakes remains about the same regardless of their orientation in space provided they remain in the ocean. When removed from the water and tilted at various angles with the head up, however, blood pressure at their midpoint drops significantly, and at brain level falls to zero. That many terrestrial snakes in similar spatial orientations do not experience this kind of circulatory failure suggests that certain adaptations enable them to regulate blood pressure more effectively in those orientations.   One such adaptation is the closer proximity of he terrestrial snake's heart to its head, which helps to ensure circulation to the brain, regardless of the snake's orientation in space. The heart of sea snakes can be located near the middle of the body, a position that minimizes the work entailed in circulating blood to both extremities. In arboreal snakes, however, which dwell in trees and often assume a vertical posture, the average distance from the heart to the head can be as little as 15 percent of overall body length. Such a location requires that blood circulated to the tail of the snake travel a greater distance back to the heart, a problem solved by another adaptation. When climbing, arboreal snakes often pause momentarily to wiggle their bodies, causing waves of muscle contraction that advance from the lower torso to the head. By compressing the veins and forcing blood forward, these contractions apparently improve the flow of venous blood returning to the heart. 7. The primary purpose of the third paragraph is to   (A) Introduce a topic that is not discussed earlier in the passage   (B) Describe a more efficient method of achieving an effect discussed in the previous paragraph   (C) Draw a conclusion based on information elaborated in the previous paragraph   (D) Discuss two specific examples of phenomena mentioned at the end of the previous paragraph   (E) Introduce evidence that undermines a view reported earlier in the passage

提问:

觉得ACDE都讲的是pretax price的变化, 原文只讲了税的变化,销售的下降和销售下降是因为税后价格,没讲到 pretax price, B 讲的是销售下降和tax变化的关系,沾边,所以选了。 听了以前录音的意思好像是说B的smaller tax increase 是相对比那1%的销售下降而说的,所以这样还否定了税是导致销售下降的因素,但是我读题时觉得smaller tax increase是相对eight-cent increase in tax说的,跟原文逻辑结构一致。 老师 这个思路有什么问题? 这个题光看沾边幅度大小选不出正确答案,考试中要怎么办

提问:

A C E都能很快的排除,B感觉原文提过,但是原文的主旨应该是销售额和价格之间的关系吧,那D比B好啊,这两个选项应该怎么比呢
