[問題]真題一道

Q: The sense of delayed gratification, of working now for later pleasure, has helped shape the economic behavior of our society. However, that sense is no longer nurtured as consistently in our children as it once was. For example, it used to take a bit of patiece to put together the toys that children got in cereal boxes; now the toys come from the boxes whole. Which of the following is an assumpption of the passage above?

(A) The toys in cereal boxes have changed partly because the economic conditions of our society have improved.

(B)The influence of promotion gimmicks on the economic behavior of our society has increased over the years.

(C)The toys that used to come in cereal boxes were put together by the same children who played with them.

(D) Part of the pleasure of any toy lies in putting the toy together before playing with it.

(E) Today's children no not expect a single toy to provide pleasure for a long period of time.


正確答案是C,請問它是如何推出來的?

文章的第一段不是在主張"現在工作是爲了以後的延遲滿足的觀念"嗎?
可是C答案中並沒有和滿足觀念有連結啊?
我選的答案是D,因為我推理的根據就是根據第一段啊?
請問有哪位牛人可以幫我解惑?
謝謝!

看起來本題主要是在於如何把前提與例子串起來....
只有答案C勉強達到....其他四個都無關...
答案D"任何玩具的部分樂趣在於玩之前先把玩具放在一起"
上面的例子只講到家樂式玉米片那種可以收集成一組(就像之前一堆女生在收集垃圾貓的磁鐵)...並未指所有玩具....

C取非 若不同的小孩在玩 則結論不成立

這一題真的很怪，我選E，我從第一句來的，還請高人指點一下。
我實在不知道C對在哪？ 我覺得本來小孩子就是有個體差異的阿，再怎麼樣也不可能全部的小孩都一樣。

Q: The sense of delayed gratification, of working now for later pleasure, has helped shape the economic behavior of our society. However, that sense is no longer nurtured as consistently in our children as it once was(結論:延遲滿足感的觀念不適用於小孩身上).(舉例 支持前面的結論) For example, it used to take a bit of patiece to put together the toys that children got in cereal boxes(在過去小孩願意花時間蒐集完整的cereal玩具); now the toys come from the boxes whole(現在的cereal玩具則是完整的,可見小孩不願意花時間蒐集). Which of the following is an assumpption of the passage above?

必須再給一個假設 題目舉的例子才能支持
過去玩cereal玩具的小孩必需和現在的小孩是同一群人結論才能成立
若小孩是不同一群則不足以支持結論
(A) The toys in cereal boxes have changed partly because the economic conditions of our society have improved.

(B)The influence of promotion gimmicks on the economic behavior of our society has increased over the years.

(C)The toys that used to come in cereal boxes were put together by the same children who played with them.

(D) Part of the pleasure of any toy lies in putting the toy together before playing with it.

(E) Today's children no not expect a single toy to provide pleasure for a long period of time.

個人的看法
供您參考

[小花]

(E) Today's children no not expect a single toy to provide pleasure for a long period of time.

no not 負負得正 不就是肯定 似乎有點違背前提了

[dibert8]

(E) 可能是 Today's children do not expect a single toy to provide pleasure for a long period of time.
題目沒有提到玩具可以玩多久.

在此不禁要大膽的挑戰起前人的答案了，我覺得C還是錯的
"The toys that used to come in cereal boxes were put together by the same children who played with them"
過去放在cereal裡面的玩具被同一群小孩（以前玩這群玩玩具的）組起來，這算什麼assupmption
我現在覺得樓主選的D最對。因為解釋了組合玩是有pleasure的，本來題目沒有說到pleasure跟組合玩具有何關連，
如不補上此點，講到cereal裡面玩具過去有沒組合現在組好，就成了一段天外飛來一筆的論述。

[dibert8]

(D) 和題意牴觸: it used to take a bit of patiece to put together the toys (拼組玩具並非享樂喔!)
(C) 是邏輯上的假設:同一個人才能比出甘苦

[小花]

請教過前輩

他也支持C

因為如果不是同一群人, 那很有可能以前就有一群人本來就不收集玩具....他們到現在還是不收集玩具....
同一群人, 才能證明是行為的改變囉

D錯, 因為assumption出現any非常果斷, 把原題擴大, 說"任何"玩具....

OG11-97. Although parapsychology is often considered a pseudoscience, it is in fact a genuine scientific enterprise, for it uses scientific methods such as controlled experiments and statistical tests of clearly stated hypotheses to examine the questions it raises.
The conclusion above is properly drawn if which of the following is assumed?

(a)If a field of study can conclusively answer the questions it raises, then it is a genuine science.

(b)Since parapsychology uses scientific methods, it will produce credible results.

(c)Any enterprise that does not use controlled experiments and statistical tests is not genuine science.

(d)Any field of study that employs scientific methods is a genuine scientific enterprise.

(e)Since parapsychology raises clearly statable questions, they can be tested in controlled experiments.

此題的答案是D, 此處ANY的出現是加強因果的準確性。感覺上本樓的題目有點像。所以答案是不是D比較合適呢，但是那個"PLEASURE"又和題意不合??(小小懷疑題目是不是錯了)
而對(C)覺得有點衝突的地方是，題目是以現在和過去相比，可(C)確說要是要相同的小孩的前題下，有點覺得時空錯亂。不知各位大大意見如何?

[lucyyeh]

恕直言，我覺得說有any非常果斷，才是一種果斷的判斷方法呢！
(D) 沒有跟題意抵觸吧！那個pleasure就是一種The sense of delayed gratification, of working now for later pleasure,
我後來覺得D也讓我很掙扎，因為結論句講到以前的Cereal玩具如何？現在的如何？D又好像不能解釋
這樣說起來好像(E)才對
另外我跟樓上有同感，選C真是有點時空錯亂，
The toys that used to come in cereal boxes were put together by the same children who played with them.
好吧～過去的那些玩具被玩那些玩具的小孩組起來，再怎麼說也是過去發生的事呀！
那now the toys come from the boxes whole. 這句要從那個assumption來呢？

(C)如果以前組起來的小孩跟玩的小孩不一樣，就沒有辦法達到題目所說的working now for later pleasure了(因為只是拿別人組裝好的玩具來玩，撿現成的，根本就沒有working到)
(D)題目只有提到The sense of delayed gratification, of working now for later pleasure，組裝完之後的pleasure，管他before playing it，因此此選項out of scope
(D)不期望只玩一個玩具提供長時間的pleasure，跟題目 later pleasure也不相關

答案確定是C,不知道各位有沒有聽過大陸的一本陳向東的邏輯書就是他們很多人會看的一本書，上面有選這道題，答案為C, 對於翻譯的部份有些出入，〞現在工作為了以後享受的延遲滿足的觀念（我認為就是先苦後甜的觀念）幫助塑造了現代社會的經濟行為，然而這種觀念不再像以前那樣不斷地再孩子身上加以培養了。例如，過去孩子們需要花許多耐心才可以把麥片盒子里得來得玩具組裝起來，現在玩具從盒子里出來就是完整的。〞
至於選C的理由我認為跟大家的一樣就是如果不是同一批小朋友就沒辦法做比較，且我發現GMAT的題目的正確答案的look通常會盡量重複Reason,這個也是之前CD一些NN們的一些心得，D我認為好像只是把原文又重複了一遍 Part of the pleasure of any toy lies in putting the toy together before playing with it. 且寫OG的經驗告訴我們很多時候有一些絕對詞例如completely, any等通常是錯誤的答案﹗再請大家多指教啦﹗:P
