Critical Reasoning
试题详情
题目：
Last year a global disturbance of weather patterns disrupted harvests in many of the world’s important agricultural areas. Worldwide production of soybeans, an important source of protein for people and livestock alike, was not adversely affected, however. Indeed, last year’s soybean crop was actually slightly larger than average. Nevertheless, the weather phenomenon is probably responsible for a recent increase in the world price of soybeans.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest justification for the attribution of the increase in soybean prices to the weather phenomenon?
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest justification for the attribution of the increase in soybean prices to the weather phenomenon?
选项:
A、Last year’s harvest of anchovies, which provide an important protein source for livestock, was disrupted by the effects of the weather phenomenon.
B、Most countries that produce soybeans for export had above-average harvests of a number of food crops other than soybeans last year.
C、The world price of soybeans also rose several years ago, immediately after an earlier occurrence of a similar global weather disturbance.
D、Heavy rains attributable to the weather phenomenon improved grazing pastures last year, allowing farmers in many parts of the world to reduce their dependence on supplemental feed.
E、Prior to last year, soybean prices had been falling for several years.
答案:
A
提问：
请问英吉老师 请问为什么C选项不是类比呢 这里说过去不能推理未来 那其他的类比为什么就可以推理呢（类似：“原文：A城市想要建地铁改善交通。选项：一个类似A城市的B城市建地铁改善了交通。”为什么这个就是类比，可能B城市改善交通的真正原因还有其他呀）谢谢老师～

问题问:天气现象与黄豆价格上升的关系。觉得c选项完美对应题干最后一句，c说前几年碰到类似这个天气的时候黄豆价格也上升了。感觉两个人对话蛮顺畅的，c还支持了最后一句 。

提问：
A选项：因为觉得定语从句里仅是source For livestock而原文是source for people and livestock，不一样，觉得是范围上张冠李戴了。
C选项：看到了有several years ago，但认为后面有similar global weather disturbance不是张冠李戴，可以解释（英吉老师）

提问：
老师您好，题目的意思说天气原因影响了很多重要的农作物产量，然而大豆并没有受到很严重的影响。然而最近大豆价格的上涨可能是由于天气导致的，问哪个可以增强因为天气导致的。首先我抓住了问题的重点要围绕天气导致的大豆价格上升，b选项无关，c选项看起来有点跟背景信息抬杠，题目说大豆产量还小幅度上升了，而且c说several years ago是不是时间上的张冠李戴呢？d选项应该是说大豆需求反而下降了，e没有体现weather所以排除吗？剩下a选项我能想得通，但是做题的时候cde都乍一看很干扰啊，有什么办法能抓出这三个选项的致命错误吗，谢谢老师。

提问：
D中说天气改善了草场，让农民减少对补充品的依赖。这里的supplemental feed怎么理解？如果理解成大豆的话是不是这个选项就变成削弱了？A是类比的话D错在哪里？请老师解答

提问：
老师这道题我选了C，我的思路是觉得A选项里面提到的是产量，而不是价格，如果要讲这两个因素联系起来那可能需要脑补。C选项中讨论的事情主体与原文一样都是豆子，然后在同样的天气环境影响下价格上涨了，那不就相当于类比推出了原文结论吗？

提问：
问题问的是如何最强地验证气象是大豆价格上升的原因。对比选项后我最终选了C。因为感觉C有类比的意思。而A选项杀掉的原因是因为说了a这么个东西受天气现象影响了，验证不了价格和天气的关系啊？请老师帮我分析下这道题，谢谢。
