1. Three years ago, because of flooding at the Western Palean Wildlife Preserve, 100 lions and 100 western gazelles were moved to the East Palean Preserve, an area that is home to most of the same species that are found in the western preserve, though in larger numbers, and to the eastern gazelle, a close relative of the western gazelle. The only difference in climate is that the eastern preserve typically has slightly less rainfall. Unfortunately, after three years in the eastern preserve, the imported western gazelle population has been virtually eliminated. Since the slight reduction in rainfall cannot be the cause of the virtual elimination of western gazelle, their disappearance must have been caused by the larger number of predators in the eastern preserve.
三年前，由于Western Palean野生動(dòng)物保護(hù)區(qū)發(fā)洪水，100只獅子和100只西方羚羊轉(zhuǎn)移到了East Palean保護(hù)區(qū)。生活在東區(qū)的物種和生活在西保護(hù)區(qū)的物種大部分相同 ，只不過數(shù)量比西區(qū)多。東方羚羊是西方羚羊的近親。兩地氣候上唯一的不同是東區(qū)降雨量稍微少一些。不幸的是，在東區(qū)生活三年后，引進(jìn)的西方羚羊基本銷聲匿跡。因?yàn)榻涤炅枯p微的減少不可能時(shí)是造成西方羚羊滅絕的原因，那么它們的消失只能是東區(qū)大量的食肉動(dòng)物造成的。
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.
2. Workers in the small town of Leeville take fewer sick days than workers in the large city of Masonton, 50 miles away. Moreover, relative to population size, the diagnosis of stress-related illness is proportionally much lower in Leeville than in Masonton. According to the Leeville Chamber of Commerce, these facts can be attributed to the health benefits of the relatively relaxed pace of life in Leeville.
小城鎮(zhèn)Leeville工人休病假的天數(shù)比50英里外的大城市Masonton的少。另外，相對(duì)人口規(guī)模而言，和壓力有關(guān)的疾病發(fā)病率在Leeville要遠(yuǎn)低于Masonton。Leeville商會(huì)認(rèn)為，這些事實(shí)可以歸因?yàn)長(zhǎng)eeville壓力相對(duì)較小的悠閑的生活方式。
Write a response in which you discuss one or more alternative explanations that could rival the proposed explanation and explain how your explanation(s) can plausibly account for the facts presented in the argument.
3. The following appeared in a memorandum from the manager of WWAC radio station.
"WWAC must change from its current rock-music format because the number of listeners has been declining, even though the population in our listening area has been growing. The population growth has resulted mainly from people moving to our area after their retirement, and we must make listeners of these new residents. But they seem to have limited interest in music: several local stores selling recorded music have recently closed. Therefore, just changing to another kind of music is not going to increase our audience. Instead, we should adopt a news-and-talk format, a form of radio that is increasingly popular in our area."
下面這段文字出自WWAC電臺(tái)經(jīng)理的備忘錄。
WWAC必須改變搖滾音樂的風(fēng)格，因?yàn)殡m然電臺(tái)覆蓋的區(qū)域總?cè)丝谠黾恿?，但聽眾減少了。人口的增加主要是由于退休后來我們這養(yǎng)老的人增多了，所以我們必須制作新居民喜歡的音樂。但是他們貌似對(duì)音樂不怎么感興趣，很多賣錄制音樂的商店已經(jīng)關(guān)門了。因此，單純把搖滾樂換成另外一種音樂并不能增加我們的聽眾。相反，我們應(yīng)該采用新聞和對(duì)話類節(jié)目，這是一種在我們這愈加流行的一種節(jié)目。
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
4. The vice president of human resources at Climpson Industries sent the following recommendation to the company's president.
"A recent national survey found that the majority of workers with access to the Internet at work had used company computers for personal or recreational activities, such as banking or playing games. In an effort to improve our employees' productivity, we should implement electronic monitoring of employees' Internet use from their workstations. Using electronic monitoring software is the best way to reduce the number of hours Climpson employees spend on personal or recreational activities. We predict that installing software to monitor employees' Internet use will allow us to prevent employees from wasting time, thereby increasing productivity and improving overall profits."
Climpson人力資源副總裁給公司總裁提出如下建議：
為提高員工的生產(chǎn)效率，我們應(yīng)該在員工的終端上加裝電子監(jiān)控來監(jiān)視員工對(duì)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的使用。如果我們要減少用于私人以及娛樂活動(dòng)，比如購物或玩游戲的工作時(shí)間，在終端上使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的員工必須要被確認(rèn)并且受到懲罰。通過在公司電腦上安裝檢測(cè)員工使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的軟件，我們可以防止員工浪費(fèi)時(shí)間，并提高生產(chǎn)效率和整體利潤(rùn)。
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the prediction and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the prediction.
5. The following appeared in a memo from the new vice president of Sartorian, a company that manufactures men's clothing.
"Five years ago, at a time when we had difficulty obtaining reliable supplies of high-quality wool fabric, we discontinued production of our popular alpaca overcoat. Now that we have a new fabric supplier, we should resume production. Given the outcry from our customers when we discontinued this product and the fact that none of our competitors offers a comparable product, we can expect pent-up consumer demand for our alpaca coats. This demand and the overall increase in clothing prices will make Sartorian's alpaca overcoats more profitable than ever before."
下面這段文字出自一家生產(chǎn)男士服裝的公司Sartorian新的副總裁的備忘錄。
五年前，當(dāng)我們?cè)讷@取可靠的高質(zhì)量羊毛毛料的渠道方面存在困難的時(shí)候，我們停止了時(shí)尚羊毛外衣的生產(chǎn)?，F(xiàn)在有了新的毛料供應(yīng)商，我們應(yīng)該重新開始生產(chǎn)。這種外衣應(yīng)該賣得很好，因?yàn)槲覀円呀?jīng)五年沒有供應(yīng)羊毛外衣了，而且由于我們的主要競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手已不再生產(chǎn)羊毛外衣，消費(fèi)者將有很迫切的需求。這種需求和服裝價(jià)格的整體上漲將使Sartorian的羊毛外衣比以前更賺錢。
Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
