※ 引述《redeyes (NimmDeineHoeflichkeit)》之銘言： : 117. Newspaper editorial: : In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on : criminals and making prison conditions harsher. Part of this effort has been : to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses. : However, this action is clearly counter to the governor's ultimate goal, : since after being released from prison, inmates who had taken such courses : committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates. : Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? : A. Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely : to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed. : B. Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the : general population. : C. The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not : already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released. : D. Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate's : subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does. : E. The governor's ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing : people that something effective is being done about crime. : 答案是C, 我選A, 理由是若取消課程對原本有可能犯案的人有嚇阻的作用, 就可以降低 : 犯罪率, 而政府的目的就是降低犯罪率. 這題今天後來寫GWD剛好也有看到, 答案給A, : 請問有沒有人可以一起討論C的理由呢? C 的理由很充足，說明在獄中選擇上課是一個逆選擇，會去上課的人本來就比較不會犯罪有沒有上課沒有差別。因此，儘管上課的人再犯的機率低，取消上課的機會並不會改變這些比較不會再犯罪的人再犯的機會。 A的句意我想你讀錯了，A的意思是「不能上課」這件事情並不會讓那些本來就會犯罪的人打消犯罪的念頭 A 反而說明了政府取消上課這件事情對於降低犯罪率是無效的 : 118. The ancient Nubians inhabited an area in which typhus occurs, yet : surprisingly few of their skeletons show the usual evidence of this disease. : The skeletons do show deposits of tetracycline, an antibiotic produced by a : bacterium common in Nubian soil. This bacterium can flourish on the dried : grain used for making two staples of the Nubian diet, beer and bread. Thus, : tetracycline in their food probably explains the low incidence of typhus : among ancient Nubians. : Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies? : A. Infectious diseases other than typhus to which the ancient Nubians were : exposed are unaffected by tetracycline. : B. Tetracycline is not rendered ineffective as an antibiotic by exposure to : the processes involved in making bread and beer. : C. Typhus cannot be transmitted by ingesting bread or beer contaminated with : the infectious agents of this disease. : D. Bread and beer were the only items in the diet of the ancient Nubians : which could have contained tetracycline. : E. Typhus is generally fatal. : 答案B, 我選E, 我的想法很簡單就是除非typhus是致命的, 否則討論骨骸裡面有沒有遺留 : 就沒有意義啦. 致不致命跟有沒有得typhus沒有相關，題目並沒有只有因typhus死亡的人骨骼才會留下得過typhus的鄭去題目說，tetracyline可以預防typhus，而麥當中含有它，推斷Nubians不會得typhus 的原因是因為他們吃麥製成的麵包跟酒。含有tetracyline的是麥子而非麵包跟酒，題目要假設吃麵包跟酒的人也會得到tetracyline 就是假定把麥變成麵包跟酒的過程中tetracyline並不會消失 -- My Blog，關於誠泰Cobras、NY Yankees與棒球數據 http://atlyankees.blogspot.com/ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc)
