GRE不光有技巧，不光有快速解題法，GRE更加考察大家的邏輯硬實力，文字理解實打實的深度。良好的GRE備考應當在課堂上向老師學習快速解題法，取同取反邏輯的同時，課下扎扎實實的讀懂每一句話。讀懂，是一切技巧使用的前提。皮之不存，毛將焉附？
Passage 74
The damage that trucks do to highways escalates dramatically with the weight borne per axle. New regulations increase the maximum permitted vehicle weight; these regulations will therefore allow onto the highway trucks capable of doing even more damage than those currently permitted.
文章解析
The damage that trucks do to highways escalates dramatically with the weight borne per axle.
當卡車每個車輪軸的承重量大幅度增加的時候，卡車對于高速公路的損壞程度就會大幅度增加。
New regulations increase the maximum permitted vehicle weight; these regulations will therefore allow onto the highway trucks capable of doing even more damage than those currently permitted.
新的規(guī)定提高了每輛車的最高可允許承載量。顯然，這些規(guī)定會使得這些行駛在高速公路上的卡車和現(xiàn)有的卡車相比，對高速公路帶來更大的損壞。
題目解析
1. The argument is open up to criticism on the grounds that it
A. fails to establish that the level of damage done by trucks is a serious problem.
B. omits evidence about one of the two relevant factors.
C. ignores the possibility that careful driving can lessen damage to highways.
D. presumes that trucks are the only vehicles capable of causing substantial damage to highways.
E. presumes that something is bound to happen just because it is allowed to happen.
原文的推理論證過程是，給出的證據(jù)是每根車輪軸的承重量增加，會導致卡車對高速公路的損壞程度增加。而得出的結論卻是，因為卡車總的承重量會增加，所以卡車對高速公路的損壞程度會增加。但卡車總的承重量會增加，并不意味著每根車輪軸的承重量也一定會隨之增加（如果車輪軸的數(shù)量增加了，那么每根車輪軸的承重量和之前會保持一致，甚至減少。）因此這個推理過程是有問題的，經(jīng)不起推敲。
B. 忽視了兩個相互關聯(lián)的因素中的其中一個。（原文忽視了車輪軸的數(shù)量這個因素。）
C. 忽視了謹慎駕駛會減輕對高速公路造成的損壞這件事。
D. 假定卡車是唯一會對高速公路造成大量損害的交通工具。
E. 假定人們允許一件事發(fā)生，它就一定會發(fā)生。（原文并沒有說人們允許卡車對高速公路造成損壞。） |
