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.

Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

The irradiation of food kills bacteria and thus retards spoilage. However, it also lowers the nutritional value of many foods. For example, irradiation destroys a significant percentage of whatever vitamin B1 a food may contain. Proponents of irradiation point out that irradiation is no worse in this respect than cooking. However, this fact is either beside the point, since much irradiated food is eaten raw, or else misleading, since ______________.

It is widely assumed that people need to engage in intellectual activities such as solving crossword puzzles or mathematics problems in order to maintain mental sharpness as they age. In fact, however, simply talking to other people—that is, participating in social interaction, which engages many mental and perceptual skills—suffices. Evidence to this effect comes from a study showing that the more social contact people report, the better their mental skills.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the force of the evidence cited?
老师我尝试把原文中的重要内容因素抽象成ABCD:A 智力活动-导致->B 保持头脑清晰(mental sharpness)锻炼心智能力 C 社交活动-导致->B 心智能力强 问:削弱 C--推出-->B的选项 错选D,这项研究压根就没有收集数据啊,分析了他想对比的智力活动研究成果,所以说C能推出B的话,自己的论点缺乏论据支撑。 B我没想选,上来就杀了,因为扯的都是智力活动那一方面产生的一些社交孤立的情况,没有涉及题目要求的--社交能力能提高心智能力这条evidence cited 您看我逻辑推理上的漏洞在哪里?有哪些需要注意、提升的建议?谢谢!

Advertising by mail has become much less effective, with fewer consumers responding. Because consumers are increasingly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of junk mail they receive, most discard almost all offers without considering them. Thus, an effective way for corporations to improve response rates would be to more carefully target the individuals to whom they mail advertising, thereby cutting down on the amount of junk mail each consumer receives.

Which of the following, if true, would most support the recommendation above?
我把整个做题思路放这里,老师请语音解答下吧,可以文字辅助,谢谢!逻辑链:为了提高邮件广告反馈率,应该好好去定位该给谁发。问题问的是下面选项要选一个能支持这个建议的。所以,选项应该反映的是-这个建议可以导致反馈率是上升的。我对每个选项的理解:A 成本效益手段能提高反馈率。所答-非所问。跟推荐的内容--如何锁定人群--无关。 B 很多成功企业已经用该企业的这个方法去做了--仔细定位个体 (成功怎么定义的,没有标准,是反馈率高了就成功吗?不见得。所以成功企业未必反馈率高,因此不见得说明这个企业照做了,能达到反馈率高的这个结果)杀--对比OG正确答案的思路:OG说B错的原因: This could be equally true for targeted and untargeted mail advertising, so it does not suggest that the former is more effective.这一块儿请老师帮我理一理,怎么理解出题人要表达的意思杀掉B?谢谢! C 任何一个人,收到广告邮件,立马删除。杀 D 改善广告内容质量并且经过仔细定位再发,能提升反馈率。留下 --错选原因是——这里更要关注的是仔细定位,而不是广告的quality。语义中心和原文拧了。
