27 /29 . The following appeared in a letter to the editor
of a local newspaper.
"Commuters complain that increased rush-hour traffic
on Blue Highway between the suburbs and the city
center has doubled their commuting time. The favored
proposal of the motorists' lobby is to widen the highway,
adding an additional lane of traffic. But last year's
addition of a lane to the nearby Green Highway was
followed by a worsening of traffic jams on it. A better
alternative is to add a bicycle lane to Blue Highway.
Many area residents are keen bicyclists. A bicycle lane
would encourage them to use bicycles to commute, and
so would reduce rush-hour traffic rather than fostering
an increase."

求助这个argument~~

1.一个就是G市的情况不能适用于B市……没有证据证明两者的交通状况，车流的组成是一样的。G市更加拥堵可能是其他原因引起的，可能路况不好，总是有交通事故，and then引发的交通堵塞。而这个原因B市不具备可能路况很好，不会有这一类的问题。
2.没有证据证明喜欢骑自行车就一定会骑自行车去上班，没有证据表明增加自行车到会encourage them……骑自行车很可能增加commute time
4.抱怨不一定客观。可能只是下雨天的时候有一些抱怨。


我自己写出来了·~~~XD

The following appeared in a letter from the owner of the Sunnyside Towers apartment complex to its manager.
"One month ago, all the showerheads in the first three buildings of the Sunnyside Towers complex were modified to restrict maximum water flow to one-third of what it used to be. Although actual readings of water usage before and after the adjustment are not yet available, the change will obviously result in a considerable savings for Sunnyside Corporation, since the corporation must pay for water each month. Except for a few complaints about low water pressure, no problems with showers have been reported since the adjustment. I predict that modifying showerheads to restrict water flow throughout all twelve buildings in the Sunnyside Towers complex will increase our profits even more dramatically."

argument35或者52，俩题不太一样，但是意思差不多。
有一个小纠结的题= =汗

讨厌死了……我再不问问题了……我自己又看出来了……心急的地跑到这里真是没出息= =汗死

1.水压下调的确可以减少water consumption，但是可能增加了用水时间，实际上gross water consumption，所以节省话费也就不那么充分。
2.即使用水量的确降低，很有可能水费上涨，使得花费没有节省。
3.增加利润跟公司运营，社会发展，经济状况有关，即使水压限制成功，水费减少，也不能保证未来利润就会上涨。

119 提纲
Evidence suggests that academic honor codes, which call for students to agree not to cheat in their academic endeavors and to notify a faculty member if they suspect that others have cheated, are far more successful than are other methods at deterring cheating among students at colleges and universities. Several years ago, Groveton College adopted such a code and discontinued its old-fashioned system in which teachers closely monitored students. Under the old system, teachers reported an average of thirty cases of cheating per year. In the first year the honor code was in place, students reported twenty-one cases of cheating; five years later, this figure had dropped to fourteen. Moreover, in a recent survey, a majority of Groveton students said that they would be less likely to cheat with an honor code in place than without.
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.

这题看着貌似很多攻击点 但是不知道怎么进一步展开进行攻击 只能是提出来而已

10 Twenty years ago, Dr. Field, a noted anthropologist, visited the island of Tertia. Using an observation-centered approach to studying Tertian culture, he concluded from his observations that children in Tertia were reared by an entire village rather than by their own biological parents. Recently another anthropologist, Dr. Karp, visited the group of islands that includes Tertia and used the interview-centered method to study child-rearing practices. In the interviews that Dr. Karp conducted with children living in this group of islands, the children spent much more time talking about their biological parents than about other adults in the village. Dr. Karp decided that Dr. Field's conclusion about Tertian village culture must be invalid. Some anthropologists recommend that to obtain accurate information on Tertian child-rearing practices, future research on the subject should be conducted via the interview-centered method.
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.
好多观点，怎么行文？

有个问题，对于11题，不知可不可以写这点的错误？
What is the situation of being overdeveloped? Can it control such situation through preventing the development of existing farmland in the country? Maybe pulling down the old buildings in the city and establishing new ones,

33,

Also, new technologies for better home insulation(隔音) and passive solar heating are readily available to reduce the energy needed for home heating. Therefore, the total demand for electricity in our area will not increase—and may decline slightly.

它的结论很奇怪，按照它自己的推论， 总电量的需求应该降低啊？

我记得是不是讨论过大型哺乳动物灭绝这个题目的啊？

Humans arrived in the Kaliko Islands about 7,000 years ago, and within 3,000 years most of the large mammal species that had lived in the forests of the Kaliko Islands were extinct. Previous archaeological findings have suggested that early humans generally relied on both fishing and hunting for food; since archaeologists have discovered numerous sites in the Kaliko Islands where the bones of fish were discarded, it is likely that the humans also hunted the mammals. Furthermore, researchers have uncovered simple tools, such as stone knives, that could be used for hunting. The only clear explanation is that humans caused the extinction of the various mammal species through excessive hunting

请问版主大人，你在20楼回答说，Parson City hasrecently spent almost twice as much per year as Blue City has for its publicschools是说明P投入钱是B的两倍，然而前面问问题的同学提到了“both as a proportionof its overall tax revenues and in absolute terms”，就是说在总体收入的比例和绝对投入上都是两倍，那么就是说两地的收入是一致，是这样吗？

119,,instructions是要写alternative explanations

1、更少的作弊次数上报不一定证明防作弊效果更好。以前的作弊次数是老师上报的，老师可能更严格；而后来的作弊是学生上报的。可能大多数学生互相包庇，故意不上报作弊情况，从而上报次数减少。
2、即使作弊次数真的减少了，也不一定是honor code的功劳。也许考试简单了，或者新招收的学生本身就比较自觉，致使作弊情况有所缓解。
3、那个survey的有效性也很值得怀疑。首先，学生说的是有honor code比没有好。但是没有说honor code比其他方法更好。如果什么防作弊措施都没有的情况，有honor code当然是更好了，但也许不是最好的方法呢？另外，学生说得和做的不一定一致。在调查中，学生一般不敢说自己会容易作弊。
4、即使以上的一切证据都是真实并且可靠的，也不能说明honor code有效。毕竟Groveton的效果不能简单地推广到所有学校。

Argument 11：
我觉得Argument11里面关系很复杂。
提到了三样东西：measure、restriction和price increasing。
似乎：measure导致restriction，而restriction又导致price increasing，最终measure导致price increasing。
然而根据信息，三个城市中上述三者关系成立的条件不同，所以最终对于MC：measure导致price increasing的结论是不一定成立的。

不知道，我这样分析对否，大家一起讨论。
