Passage 405
To reduce traffic congestion on Lochley city streets,a new road will be built to bypass the city.The road will offer a faster commute to nearly all people who live in suburbs and now commute via Lochley's streets to their jobs in other suburbs.Those cars constitute one-quarter of the cars now using Lochley's streets each weekday.Thus after the bypass road has been built,weekday traffic congestion on Lochley's streets will be substantially reduced.
Which of the following,if true,most strengthens the argument?
相信大多数同学读完文章,可能初步理解的题目含义为:L城要建新路,使更快的通勤。这些郊区间,上班的车,占到了现在工作日交通使用的四分之一。所以,路修好了,L的工作日交通堵塞会被大幅减少。
1.你可能漏掉的细节信息
一般来说,因为考场上的时间压力,有的同学在看逻辑单题的字面含义的时候会略过一些信息。而对于逻辑单题来讲,其实有些信息是涉及到它的core argument的。
比如此题,是一道加强题。如果没有读出来以下标红部分的细节信息——容易遗漏信息
为了降低L市内的交通拥堵,L城要建绕城新路。使来往于市郊(穿过L街市)的上班车,有更快的通勤。而这些车,占到了现在工作日L市内交通使用的四分之一。所以,绕城路修好了之后,L的工作日交通堵塞会被大幅减少。
很可能就只是以为我们要加强的是:L市的交通拥堵被大幅削减而已。却忽略了这条路(bypass,绕城)的原因,及选项真正想要加强的论证是什么。
因此,我们真正需要加强的是“就是这条绕城公路,缓解了市内的交通堵塞。”
2.题目解析
接下来,我们就来看看选项是否能够达到这一目的——
题目
Which of the following,if true,most strengthens the argument?
A.Only a relatively small reduction in traffic congestion could be achieved by widening existing streets in Lochley.
B.Most of the suburban commuters now using city streets in traveling to jobs in other suburbs travel one person to a car.
C.Commuters who travel from homes in Lochley to jobs in the suburbs account for a small proportion of Lochley’s traffic.
D.Few of the people who currently commute through Lochley stop there for shopping or other activities.
E.After the bypass road is built,Lochley will perform more of its maintenance work on city streets on weekdays.
>>A选项
Only a relatively small reduction in traffic congestion could be achieved by widening existing streets in Lochley.(意思:拓宽道路只能减少少部分的交通堵塞。【此选项和绕城公路的结论无关,无法加强结论。】)
>>B选项
Most of the suburban commuters now using city streets in traveling to jobs in other suburbs travel one person to a car.(意思:大部分目前穿越市区郊区的通勤者,都是一人一车。【此选项无关。一个一车和使不使用bypass没有关系。而且就算是几个人一车,原文都说了这部分车流量占25%)】
>>C选项
Commuters who travel from homes in Lochley to jobs in the suburbs account for a small proportion of Lochley’s traffic.(意思:从L市区的家,到郊区通勤的人只占少部分。【反前提的选项,文章说穿过市中心的车,占到了现在工作日L市内交通使用的四分之一。那本市的交通应该占到75%,这个C选项和原文前提违背】)
>>D选项
Few of the people who currently commute through Lochley stop there for shopping or other activities.(意思:穿城通勤的人,他们很少在路上买东西或做其他的活动。【所以那就说明新路建好之后,他们对老路是可以不再使用的,他们就完全可以用绕城路来通行。从而加强了文章结论所说的,就是绕城路环节市内交通的这个效果。】)
>>E选项
After the bypass road is built,Lochley will perform more of its maintenance work on city streets on weekdays.(意思:绕城路修好了以后,L市在市政道路上会有更多的维修工作。【如果做很多维修工作,那城市拥堵的问题就不会解决,这是一个削弱的选项。】)
