In his plays, Shakespeare intentionally had some of his characters use　　phrases he considered ungrammatical.
　　The phrase "between you and I" appears infrequently in Shakespeare's　writings.
　　The more modern an English word or phrase, the less likely that modern　grammarians will consider it acceptable for formal usage.
　　Many modern speakers of English sometimes say "between you and I" and　sometimes say "between you and me."
　　Most native speakers of English who choose to say "between you and I"　do so because they know that Shakespeare used that phrase.
　　答案：(A)
　　Around 1850 there were about 800 farms in Otsego County. By the 1950's　the number of farms had dropped to around 400. By 1988 there were only　81 farms in operation. Therefore, the amount of land in the county that　is devoted to farming has dropped by about 90 percent in the past 140　years.　
　　A major flaw in the argument above is that it
　　counts the number of farms only approximately
　　fails to say whether the use now being made of the land previously　devoted to farming is income-producing
　　ignores the possibility that the average size of farms has changed
　　gives data for only 3 of the past 140 years
　　does not take into account the type of product or crop each farm yields
　　答案：(C)
　　　
　　Senator: Jones is highly qualified for appointment as a judge, as evidenced　by Jones's receiving a unanimous vote of "qualified" on the formal rating　scale used by the Lawyers' Committee. That committee advises the Senate on　judicial appointments.　
　　Which of the following, if true, is the best reason for dismissing the senator's claim that　Jones is highly qualified?
　　Several members of the Lawyers' Committee are not themselves qualified　for judicial appointments.
　　The Lawyers' Committee does not advise the Senate on all judicial　appointments.
　　The Lawyers' Committee gives a unanimous vote of "qualified" only to　those candidates for judicial appointments who meet the committee's　stringent standards for appropriate prior experience and ethical conduct.
　　The Lawyers' Committee gives a unanimous vote of either "highly qualified"　or "very highly qualified" to 95 percent of all candidates for judicial　appointments.
　　Jones, like most lawyers, is a member of the professional organization　that originally suggested the establishment of the Lawyers' Committee.
　　答案：(D)
　　问题: 下面那一个如果正确的话,最后理由驳斥参议员认为Jones非常有资格的宣称?
　　读题: 参议员：Johes 非常有资格被任命为法官，证据是在律师委员会所使用的正式评分准则中，全体一致投票Johes 有资格。而该委员会在法官任命上为参议院提供建议.本题论据由as evidenced by 引导，论点为第一句话。因为unanimous vote of "qualified", 所以，highly qualified.　
　　分析:(答案Ｄ）
　　* 对于weaken来讲,
　　1、选项中说到和论据、论点或两者之间的联系有不一样的就可作为答案
　　2、有其他原因影响论点也是weaken
　　(尽管unanimous vote of "qualified，但还有别的因素影响是否highly qualified)　
　　C. 律师委员会仅仅对那些满足委员会严格要求的法官任命候选人，全体一致投票"有资格，C在加强论据，是支持。
　　D. 律师委员会对95%的候选人，全体一致投票或者"highly qualified"，或者"qualified"。D中的95%恰恰说明Johes 只是许多人中的一个而已，在A-B之间进行了削弱，如果95%替换为5%，那就是support.
　　E. 与qualify无关，不要进一步联想（他是最初建议律师委员会创建的组织成员之一，　所以律师委员会投以unanimous，所以反对了论据，这种推理是绝对要不得的).
　　　
　　On a tax form, a taxpayer is filling in numbers on　eleven lines-F, G, H, I, K, L, M, Q, R, V,and Z-according　to the following instructions and no others:　
　　Line F must be derived from lines G, H, and V as G plus　H minus V.
　　Line L must be derived from lines I and K as I plus K.
　　Line Q must be derived from lines L and M as L minus M.
　　Line R must be derived from lines Q and F as Q minus F.
　　Line V must be derived from line L as five percent of L.
　　Line Z must be derived from line R as half of R.
　　cannot be derived unless which of the following is known?
　　F
　　G
　　H
　　I
　　M
　　答案：(D)
　　读题:在一个税收报表中,一个纳税者在11行中填写数字(F,G,H,I,K,L,M,Q,R,V,Z)
　　写条件：
　　F=G+H-V
　　L=I+K
　　Q=L-M
　　R=Q-F
　　V=5%L
　　Z=1/2R　
　　V不能得到，除非下面哪一个知道？
　　解题步骤:(D)
　　1、看一下V是怎么得到的呢？当然要看等式左边,V等于什么, V=5%L, ∴V从L得到但是答案中并没有L，那么继续找L怎么得到呢？
　　2、L=I+K, L从I、K得到，故D对。
　　　
　　cannot be derived unless which of the following is known?
　　K
　　M
　　Q
　　R
　　Z
　　答案：(A)
　　读题:在一个税收报表中,一个纳税者在11行中填写数字(F,G,H,I,K,L,M,Q,R,V,Z)
　　写条件：
　　F=G+H-V
　　L=I+K
　　Q=L-M
　　R=Q-F
　　V=5%L
　　Z=1/2R　
　　It is necessary for the taxpayer to know H before the taxpayer can derive
　　L
　　M
　　Q
　　R
　　V
　　答案：(D)
　　读题:在一个税收报表中,一个纳税者在11行中填写数字(F,G,H,I,K,L,M,Q,R,V,Z)
　　写条件：
　　F=G+H-V
　　L=I+K
　　Q=L-M
　　R=Q-F
　　V=5%L
　　Z=1/2R
　　　
　　在得到什么之前，需要知道H？
　　解题步骤:答案(D)
　　1、应该从等式右边找H；由F=G+H-V得,要想得到F,必须知道H,但是答案中并没有F，那么继续寻找在得到什么之前，需要知道F
　　2、在等式右边找F，R=Q-F，要想得到R,必须知道F, 故D对。

　　F and V
　　L and Q
　　L and R
　　R and V

　　1、 (QT) (表示Q和T紧密相邻,并且不分前后)
　　2、 T<R (表示T在R的前面)
　　3、 S=1/7 (表示S在1或者7)
　　4、 V= 4 (表示V在4)　
　　条件总结：
　　* 条件1和2联合:(QT)<R
　　* 注意: U, W没有任何限制，为等价元素。
　　如果U=2,对于演讲者的选取共有几种选法？
　　解题步骤:答案(C)
　　1、条件中没有涉及U的条件，也没有位置2的条件, 先用固定条件。有V=4
　　1 2 3 4 5 6 7
　　S U V (Q T) R
　　2、目前已经没有别的条件可用,但是我们发现7个位置，V在中间4，U=2，它使得
　　要有连续的话只能在567，由条件(QT)<R得，R=7, 再由S=1/7得, S=1 ,
　　∴一共有2种选法(QT)=56
　　(*连续条件的使用就必须要存在连续的位置,当题目中存在连续的条件,在解题时没有条件可用时,往往就需要用到这种固定的思维)
