Critical Reasoning

试题详情

题目:

The OLEX Petroleum Company has recently determined that it could cut its refining costs by closing its Grenville refinery and consolidating all refining at its Tasberg refinery.  Closing the Grenville refinery, however, would mean the immediate loss of about 1,200 jobs in the Grenville area.  Eventually the lives of more than 10,000 people would be seriously disrupted.  Therefore, OLEX's decision, announced yesterday, to keep Grenville open shows that at OLEX social concerns sometimes outweigh the desire for higher profits.
 
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument given?

选项:

A、The Grenville refinery, although it operates at a higher cost than the Tasberg refinery, has nevertheless been moderately profitable for many years.
B、Even though OLEX could consolidate all its refining at the Tasberg plant, doing so at the Grenville plant would not be feasible.
C、The Tasberg refinery is more favorably situated than the Grenville refinery with respect to the major supply routes for raw petroleum.
D、If the Grenville refinery were ever closed and operations at the Tasberg refinery expanded, job openings at Tasberg would to the extent possible be filled with people formerly employed at Grenville.
E、Closure of the Grenville refinery would mean compliance, at enormous cost, with demanding local codes regulating the cleanup of abandoned industrial sites.

答案:

E

提问:

郭老师好,这个题我觉得是要证明social concerns没有higher profits 重要,D通过说明员工就业的问题可以得到解决,降低了social concerns这一原因的重要性,E说的close factories不一定能实现higher profit,感觉都有道理,应该选哪个呢?

您好, 这个题目想要问一下王文静老师,这个题目我选择了D,这个我听了您之前的讲解,还是感觉难以说服自己,这个我当时一看到这个选项觉得他实在是太棒了完美的weaken了这个工厂的顾虑,这样这些失业的人就可以去这个T这个地方去上班了,但是您之前在讲解的时候说我们不知道是不是可以使所有的失业者得到就业所以这个选项不完全weaken我感觉这个实在是脑补的太多了把,整个题目只是定性的分析了一下这个事情,去哪问没有提到跟比率数字之类沾边的东西我们为什么想到了这里,而且这种解释我在考场上看到之后肯定想不到,我看到这个D这么完美之后我就直接E扫了一下就选了D,如果E排在D前面我倒是有可能比较一下这两个,但是还是会选D,想问一下老师在考场上怎么解答!感谢老师的解答

请问Tina老师,选项AD都可以一定程度上weaken。题目是选most undermine,不理解E是如何most weaken的。

提问:

留下了ADE,A说G地这个东西其实能盈利,能反驳结论说不是为了Profits. D说关了以后T地方能的工作能雇原来在G地的人,就说明G低的人其实不会失业,驳斥原文。 E说关了G低会有很高的成本,也驳斥结论。请问老师我哪里出错了。

提问:

看完原文排掉ABC,剩下DE。D说T关掉,又说了JOB的问题,E也说了T关掉,觉得都沾边,瞬间觉得D更好,选了D。

提问:

A、E选项还是无法比,为何E比A好。 答疑录音上大都从成本这方面说这两选项相关,我记得老师说逻辑要记结论说了什么,结论没说成本的事情啊,不知道此题如何解题。

提问:

d选项错误的原因不是不沾边吧? 是不如e直接 原文说从g搬到 T这个地方会影响g的工作数量, 而公司说不关了,有人就说他们有社会责任。 题目要求否定,那么就是要么是说它因为别的原因没关(e选项说 关G太麻烦),要么就是说不会影响工作数量(d选项说g失业的都去t了)。D不好是因为前提太多,因为原文没说T一定要扩张规模。 我的问题是,我看到D挺好我就没看E。
