Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development. They plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it. That plan is ill-conceived: if the farmers did sell their land, they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other bidders. On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable. But farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires. And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.
In the argument as a whole, the two boldface proportions play which of the following roles?
The first presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; the second is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection.
The first presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attained; the second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion.
The first presents a goal that the argument concludes can be attained; the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion.
The first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evaluated in the argument; the second is a judgment providing a basis for the argument's advocacy of a particular strategy.
The first presents a goal that the argument endorses; the second presents a situation that the argument contends must be changed if that goal is to be met in the foreseeable future.
反对的不是goal而是strategy。。。
第一句黑体是GOAL,而ill conceived的是plan, 所以可以直接排除ABC, 因为argument并没有说GOAL is ill-conceived / can be attained.
E, Goal 并没有被认可 , 所以也可以排除。
a judgement call
E错在后半句:需要被更改的是文中的strategy,而不是BD2所描述的situation
C:the second is a judgment providing a basis for the argument's advocacy of a particular strategy. 该advocacy可以是正向的,也可以是负向的
BF1是一个goal,为了实现这个goal 提出了一个strategy就是purchasing farm。这个strategy被评价成两个方面。
一方面评价不好ill-conceived,如果farmers卖地造成恶意竞价。
另一方面,BF2 里strategy has been judged 是大多farmers不愿意卖地,因为farming是可行的。但是,要前提满足现代化。因此,BF2造成了提倡(providing a basis for)只有sensible preservation strategy能帮助farmers实现现代化从而实现farming 的可行性。
第一个黑体是想达到的目的,是文章讨论的主题,没有情感色彩,ABCE都错
第二个黑体是用来反对前面Plan的一个证据,CE错
They plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it. That plan is ill-conceived 看仔细了
反对的是strategy不是goal
【反对的不是goal 而是plan:this plan is ill-conceived】
黑体1是文章的goal,随后作者提出了plan1(黑体1和黑体2之间),作者反对的是plan1不是goal;黑体2是为提出作者支持的plan2打下基础。
第二句含义:只要耕种依然可行,农民就不会卖土地
做的时候没看懂D的意思,以为D说BF1是反对goal,直接排除了,其实D说的是反对针对goal的plan1
文章结构:目标/策略/对策略的评估
第一个boldface:文章的目标。“That plan is ill-conceived“ 是指达成目标的策略有问题但目标是可实现的,故A B E错误
第二个boldface:接着”That plan is ill-conceived“说,属于支持这个论点的依据(为什么plan不可行并推出什么plan可行)。
黑体1是文章的goal,随后作者提出了plan1(黑体1和黑体2之间),作者反对的是plan1不是goal;黑体2是为提出作者支持的plan2打下基础。
B - We should exit this choice at “cannot be attained”. If the author thought the goal could not be conceived, he would not bother advancing an alternate plan to meet the goal. Choice C can be eliminated for the same reason, and just as quickly.
but前面不一定是作者反对的内容,不要掉入陷阱,还是要根据语义判断。
第一个黑体是想要达成的goal,作者认为这个goal是可行的。
第二个黑体是evidence用于support作者认为可以达到goal的strategy-> that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.
第二个黑体是反对第一个plan,同时支持第二个plan的 advocacy的意思
A,B反对的不是目标,而是方法。。。
D, 第二个BF的是削弱第一个策略,为第二个策略提供支持; E. 改变的不是situation,是strategy
