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.

It can be inferred from the passage that the term "real" in the highlighted text most likely refers to economic development that is
老师好。我读出来的脉络是: 许多研究者认为泰国经济增长是由于modern technology development策略的成功。但是研究者忽略了农村发展的对经济的影响。这些研究者受RH过时的理论的影响,导致认为nontechnology是obstacle to progress. “Yet as Ann Kelleher"这句话有一个转折,文中说导致研究者不仅忽略了rural development project引起的real advance, 还会错误的总结因为这些advance是由rural leader引导的。“they retard real economic development ".不知道这种理解有问题吗, 因为管老师说“yet as theAnn K”的yet不是转折,还是细节中的转折而已。 不是很清楚they到底指代什么。 我认为是指代的这些研究者。 文章不是说以前认为经济发展是technology导致的,但却忽略了rural发展的作用吗?那real economics不是应该包含了rural发展才合理? 听了好几个语音也没搞懂。麻烦老师讲一下

The Anasazi settlements at Chaco Canyon were built on a spectacular scale with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were connected by a complex regional system of roads.

想请教Tina老师~这道题听了之前的录音还是觉得很乱,不知道怎样形成一个清晰的思路😞还有些疑问,我觉得B选项中of up to 600 rooms each修饰的对象也可以是主语settlements啊,这样不是有歧义吗?而且后面connected修饰的对象也不明确呀,所以做题的时候就排除了b选项。我记得老师上课的时候说修饰是一个不太优先的考点,但有时候确实有些选项会因为修饰歧义被排除,可是有时候又会因为修饰陷入纠结,比如这里会因此排除正确选项,这个度应该怎么把握呢?另外想问老师,逗号后面跟介词短语的形式修饰的对象应该是谁?什么情况下会造成歧义呢?还有,c选项去掉each后面的that之后对吗?问了一大堆问题,谢谢老师

Mideast immigrants' rates of entrepreneurship exceed virtually every other immigrant group in the increasingly diverse United States economy.
想请教Tina老师,这个问题和本题关系不太大,是由b选项的exceeding想到的,就是n. of n.的形式后面修饰语修饰的对象可以越过of向前找,可以是of前面那个名词,那修饰对象既可以是前一个名词也可以是后一个名词,如果没有明确的提示(比如单复数),会造成歧义吗?比如这个题,如果没有比较对象这个错误的话,只看exceeding存在修饰歧义吗?什么情况下是歧义,什么情况下可以向前找修饰对象呢?不知道如何把握,请老师指点。还有,逗号后加现在分词形式Tina老师在课上讲它的发出者是主语或整句,我听录音里别的老师有说它也可以修饰宾语的,是什么样的情况呢?如果也可以修饰宾语,那什么情况下会造成修饰宾语还是主语或整句的歧义呢?谢谢老师!

In 1850, Lucretia Mott published her Discourse on Women, arguing in a treatise for women to have equal political and legal rights and for changes in the married women's property laws.
错选c,因为觉得for changes和advocates 并列,都是一般现在时。然后正确选项E可不可以理解成过去argue了两件事,但是这件事是事实,所以用一般现在时?
