Smithtown University's fund-raisers succeeded in getting donations from 80 percent of the potential donors they contacted. This success rate, exceptionally high for university fund-raisers, does not indicate that they were doing a good job. On the contrary, since the people most likely to donate are those who have donated in the past, good fund-raisers constantly try less-likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base. The high success rate shows insufficient canvassing effort.
Which of the following, if true, provides more support for the argument?
Smithtown University's fund-raisers were successful in their contacts with potential donors who had never given before about as frequently as were fund-raisers for other universities in their contacts with such people.
This year the average size of the donations to Smithtown University from new donors when the university's fund-raisers had contacted was larger than the average size of donations from donors who had given to the university before.
This year most of the donations that came to Smithtown University from people who had previously donated to it were made without the university's fund-raisers having made any contact with the donors.
The majority of the donations that fund-raisers succeeded in getting for Smithtown University this year were from donors who had never given to the university before.
More than half of the money raised by Smithtown University's fund-raisers came from donors who had never previously donated to the university.
fund-raisers成功得从80%联系过的人里面拿到捐助,然而好的fr会试图去联系不太可能捐钱的人,所以这么高的成功率说明这些fr并不努力。问support
choice a, S大学的fr联系那些从没捐过钱的人的频率和其他大学fr联系没捐过钱的人的频率一样高. correct
A 选项句子没读明白:was successful ... as frequently as 成功频率相当
题干This success rate, exceptionally high for university fund-raisers
题干结论是:这个高的成功率不能说明他们做的好。
A选项:s在新捐献者的成功率和其他学校一样,
也就是说明,总的成功率高归功于原来的捐献者,因此说明捐献率高不能说明工作做的好。加强。
fund-raisers从他们联系过的捐助人那里得到了80%的捐款,这并不能说明他们干的好。因为最后可能捐钱的都是曾经捐过钱的捐助人,说明他们并没有努力去扩展新的捐助人
DE是一个意思,都说今年筹集到的捐助大多数来自于之前从没捐助过的新资助人。削弱结论
c是不对的,c抓主谓宾,就是大部分捐款都不是来自已经捐过钱的人,削弱;B讲average size,文章讲总捐款数和success rate,无关;D大部分捐款都来自先前没有捐过的人,削弱;E多于半数捐款来自没捐过的人,削弱
BCDE are all irrelevant.
S大学的募捐人员通过联系从没有捐过款的人得到捐款的概率与其他大学的募捐者差不多,这样就说明S大学的募捐人员联系的人当中,已经捐过款的人的比例比较高,所以才造成总体的募捐成功率比较高,这样就加强了结论
A选项说S大学与从未捐过款的人签的合同和别的大学与这类人签的合同数量是一样的,说明S大学没有优势,加强作者观点:这些人没有努力。
我觉得这题的点在于,要加强“这些游说者并没有做好对新捐献者的游说工作“这个点。错选C。A选项说,SU的游说者对没捐过款的人的游说成功的频率和其他大学的游说者的频率是一样的,也就是说他们对新的捐献者的游说其实没有什么特别的能力,所以他们就是没有做好。而C选项说,今年的捐献者和这些游说者没怎么联系过就来捐了,这和我们要加强的点不一样。
果因推理:
果:募捐到的金额exceptionally high
因:只找了老人,没有努力找新人。
A:正确。A选项的意思是,和其他学校相比,S学校从新人那里得到募捐的成功率是相同的(as frequently as ),但是实际结果是得到了exceptionally high 的金额。所以肯定更多找了老人。增强。
B:讨论了钱数量更多,但捐的钱多,不代表捐的人多(比如:AB两个班,A班人捐款1000,B班十人捐款10块)
C:讨论的是从未被联系过的人的捐款,而题干中无论新人老人都是被联系过的人。无关
ED选项和B一样讨论的是钱数量的问题,无关,排除。
而且即使DE选型有关,也是增强了推理,仍然排除。
归根结底,作者是认为这些raiser没有扩大donor base导致的这个80%并不successful。
所以作者是要强调这些新进入的donor,而不是以前就donate过的人
On the contrary, since the people most likely to donate are those who have donated in the past, good fund-raisers constantly try less-likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base(因为最愿意donate的人是那些以前donate过的人,所以一些raiser会花费很少的力气去扩大donor base). The high success rate shows insufficient canvassing effort.(所以这个高rate表明这些raiser没有很努力的去canvass)
非常tricky的一道题
Smithtown University's fund-raisers succeeded in getting donations from 80 percent of the potential donors they contacted.(SU的基金筹集人成功地从80%的他们所接触的potential donors中得到了捐赠) This success rate, exceptionally high for university fund-raisers, does not indicate that they were doing a good job. (结论:这个很高的比率并不能证明这些raiser did a good job)
在A选项中,该学校联系新人的频率和其他学校联系新人的频率一样,说明很高的捐款金额中,大部分是由之前已经捐过款的人捐赠的
A:之前未捐款的人的成功率和其他学校一样,代表大部分占比还是捐过款的人
读完选项确定B\C\D\E都不是我要找的,对于A选项没有想到筹集人联系老人的频率和其他学校的联系频率相当,但是相对于本校那么高的成功率来说依旧是强化他们没有努力
注意:本题选项BDE反而是削弱了原文的结论,不能选。最终是在A和C中2者pick其中一个。
注意:原文讨论的donor-捐款人联系的成功率,而选项C讲的是捐款金额来自于。无关选项。要特别注意。
a. smith u 的fund raiser 联系上新donors的成功率和别的学校一样高--》说明他们没有做到一个especially good job. --》 support
c. 大部分旧的donors 的捐助并没有通过fund raiser 的联系
C削弱了观点,
C的含义为:This year most of the donations ... having made any contact with the donors.
今年大部分donate的老人都没有fund-raiser联系过。 解读为:1 raiser联系了老人,没成功; 2 raiser没联系老人;
两种解读均削弱了论证,1代表年轻人可能投机取巧了,但并未在老人群体上得到便宜,在新人群体上拿下了80%高分,很努力。 2代表年轻人很努力,去正面刚新人群体,放着老人群体的肥肉不吃。
题干信息为:On the contrary, since the people most likely to ... expand the donor base.
即:好fund-raiser会多联系新人。
结合得出S校的fundraiser新人联系很多,是good raiser,削弱了不努力的结论。
