一步一步地看正式考試時,我們該如何做題目。
※ 引述《ame312 ()》之銘言:
: Nitrogen dioxide is a pollutant emitted by automobiles. Catalytic
: converters, devices designed to reduce nitrogen dioxide emissions, have been
: required in all new cars in Donia since 1993, and as a result, nitrogen
: dioxide emissions have been significantly reduced throughout most of the
: country. Yet although the proportion of new cars in Donia's capital city has
: always been comparatively high, nitrogen dioxide emissions there have showed
: only an insignificant decline since 1993.
: Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the insignificant
: decline in nitrogen dioxide emissions in Donia's capital city?
step 1.
先看這一行,知道這題是"解決矛盾題"。
所以等等(1)看題目的時候,記得要找出矛盾雙方
(2)看選項的時候,記得要同時滿足矛盾雙方的結果喔!

step 2.
讀題目:
93'之後的新車採用新規定,廢氣減排
題目的矛盾雙方為:
1.D國幾乎全境在93年之後廢氣顯著減少
2.D國的首都廢氣卻沒有顯著減少(尤其首都的新車又很多)
只要你能把這兩行列出來(事實上這也是要考gmat所必須具備的必要能力)
就明顯地發現:這個矛盾兩端的差異點在於"全體/個體"
也就是"首都"到底出了什麼問題?讓他跟D國其他地方比起來這麼與眾不同?
到這裡我們心裡已有了底:正確選項一定要指出首都的"獨特性"
: A. More of the cars in Donia's capital city were made before 1993 than after
: 1993.
同意你的想法,但在實戰中,如果我不知道"新車"的明確定義是不是指93'後的車子
這個選項我就會保留繼續讀其他選項,最後再來做抉擇
畢竟這是我自己的分數,而gmat好像也沒有一個申訴題目要分數的管道,
所以小心為上囉。
(定義不明,保留)
: B. The number of new cars sold per year in Donia has declined slightly since
: 1993.
沒有指出首都的獨特性,(無關,刪去)。
: C. Pollutants other than nitrogen dioxide that are emitted by automobiles
: have also been significantly reduced in Donia since 1993.
跟其他污染物無關,(無關,刪去)
: D. Many Donians who own cars made before 1993 have had catalytic converters
: installed in their cars.
同B。
: E. Most car trips in Donia's capital city are too short for the catalytic
: converter to reach its effective working temperature.
因為天龍國的人都喜歡開短程,短到淨化器都還沒熱機完成,所以廢氣也無法淨化。
明確指出了首都的獨特性,也解釋了為什麼廢氣仍然居高不下。
最後把這個選項跟A比較:相較於A選項的new car定義不明確,
E選項明確地解釋了矛盾,所以最後抉擇我會選(E),
畢竟題目要的是MOST help to explain。
最後一提,這題的new cars應該指的是93年後採用新規定的車子沒有錯。
因為new cars第一次出現的地方是"required in all new cars in Donia since 1993"
後面的修飾成分指出了new cars是1993年之後的,
而前面的主詞跟動詞也告訴我們這些new cars被規定加裝淨化器
文章後面各處出現的new cars應該都會指代回上面這句的同詞
所以'new cars=93年後出產加裝淨化器的汽車' 是沒有問題的。
但這樣A選項就是明顯的"睜眼說瞎話",
跟題目的事實"the proportion of new cars in Donia's capital city has always
been comparatively high,..."衝突。
希望有解決到你的問題。

: 正確答案:(E)
: 想請教為何(A)選項不能是正確答案?
: 我一開始的想法是:
: 文中提到新車比例很高,
: (Yet although the proportion of new cars in Donia's capital city has
: always been comparatively high.)
: 但可能有些新車是1993之前製造的,
: 所以雖然新車比例高,但nitrogen dioxide emissions仍高?
: 還是說我誤會了題目中的意思,
: "Catalytic converters have been required in all new cars in Donia since 1993"
: 跟何時(1993前/後)製造出廠無關,只要是新車就必須安裝此converters~~
: 謝謝
