2Thefollowing appeared in a letter sent by a committee of homeowners from theDeerhaven Acres to all homeowners in Deerhaven Acres. °∞Seven years ago,homeowners in nearby Brookville community adopted a set of restrictions on howthe community's yards should be landscaped and what colors the exteriors ofhomes should be painted. Since then, average property values have tripled inBrookville. In order to raise property values in Deerhaven Acres, we shouldadopt our own set of restrictions on landscaping and housepainting."
31 The following appeared in the editorialsection of a newsmagazine. °∞Some states are creating new laws that restrictthe use of handheld cell phones by drivers of automobiles. Such legislation,however, is sheer folly. Although some people with cell phones undoubtedlycause problems on the road, including serious accidents, the majority do not.Besides, problems are also caused by drivers who are distracted by any numberof other activities, from listening to the radio to disciplining children.Since there is no need to pass legislation restricting these and other suchactivities, it follows that there is no need to restrict people's freedom touse a device that they find convenient °™ or helpful in emergencies."
34 Milk and dairy products are rich in vitamin Dand calcium, substances essential for building and maintaining bones. Manypeople therefore believe that a diet rich in dairy products can help preventosteoporosis, a disease in which the bones weaken significantly with age andthat is linked to both environmental and genetic factors. But a long-term studyof a large number of people has found that those who have consistently consumeddairy products throughout the years of the study have a higher rate of bonefractures than any other participants in the study. Since bone fractures are asymptom of osteoporosis, this study result shows that a diet rich in dairyproducts may actually increase, rather than decrease, the risk of osteoporosis.
(文章的line of reasoning:
osteoporosis->bone weaken(environmental andgenetic factors);
dairy food-》高vitaminD-> build and maintain bone
---> prevent osteoporosis
a large number of people long-term study-->consume dairy product-->bone fractures
bone fracture->symptom of osteoporosis
diary product -- > increase the risk ofosteoporosis.)
45 The following appeared as an editorial in awildlife journal. °∞Arctic deer live on islands in Canada's arctic region. Theysearch for food by moving over ice from island to island during the course of ayear. Their habitat is limited to areas warm enough to sustain the plants onwhich they feed, and cold enough, at least some of the year, for the ice tocover the sea separating the islands, allowing the deer to travel over it.Unfortunately, according to reports from local hunters, the deer populationsare declining. Since these reports coincide with recent global warming trendsthat have caused the sea ice to melt, we can conclude that the decline inarctic deer populations is the result of deer being unable to follow theirage-old migration patterns across the frozen sea."
(文章的line of reasoning:
Arctic deer --生存要求--有冰在island之间连接,他们可以在island之间移动去warm的地方找食物
Arctic deer --数目减少
全球化温度变高--,
冰融化,Arctic deer在冰之间移动,死掉。)
99 The following appeared in a memo from theeconomic minister of the small country Paucia. °∞Using a newly developedvariety of seed, farmers in our neighboring country Abundia produced 80 percentmore rice last year than in any previous year. To increase the income offarmers in our own country, we should encourage them to cultivate this newvariety of rice rather than some of their traditional crops. Such high yieldsof rice will also improve our country's balance of trade by enabling us tobegin exporting it."
