6月24日--- LSAT PT 19
第一篇文章：Critics about the crime novels of P.D. James and her sliding out of the genre and striding into the mainstream novel.
1st P: introduce the debate between two views about P.D. James.
2nd P: present in detail the two opposite positions about P.D. James.
3rd P: describe features of P.D. James' works and her obviation from conventional detective novels.
4th P: conclude from previous arguments the reason why she moved into the territory of the mainstream novel.

错题： 8. Which one of the following quotations about literature best exemplifies the “familiar” attitude
mentioned in lines 5-9?
(A) “The fantasy and whimsy characteristic of this writer’s novels qualify them as truly great works of literature.”
(B) “The greatest work of early English literature happens to be a highly humorous collection of tales.”
(C) “A truly great work of literature should place demands upon its readers, rather than divert them.”
(D) “Although many critics are condescending about best-selling novels, I would not wish to challenge the opinion of millions of readers.”
(E) “A novel need only satisfy the requirements of its particular genre to be considered a true work of literature.”

正确选项：C       我的选项： D   

C 选项定位第一段最后一句话, which means:
enjoyable (easy to read) fiction = low brow
true literature = tiny bit dull (demanding of the reader)
D 选项反了，best-selling 不可能 condescending

错误原因：说实话这题是瞎猜的，因为对原句句意理解错误，造成了感觉每个选项都不对，就随便蒙了，事实上 place demands upon readers  ≠  attract readers ！！ ，而意思更像是 让“reader自己搞明白” （谢谢 robin）


第二篇文章：The ways that the law protect the rights of Native American in regard to contents of their ancestral graves.

1st P: introducing the problem-- Many Native Americans view the excavation of their ancestors' graves as a spiritual disdain. Courts affirm the standings three classes of plaintiffs. However, for those ancient graves which are in the areas where the associated Native American communities have not recently lived, this is not as successful.

2nd P: suggesting that property law can be useful in solving the problem and explain in detail that how it can protect the rights of Native American tribes who can establish standing in the associated cases.

3rd P: explain the distinction between individual and community in terms of property rights and how it is used to protect Native Americans' rights in regard to the contents of their ancestral graves.

错题：11. According to the passage, which one of the following is true of cases involving ancient graves?
(A) Once a plaintiff ’s standing has been established, such cases are usually more difficult to resolve than are cases involving more recent graves.
(B) The distinction between individual and communal property is usually an issue in such cases.
(C) Even when a plaintiff ’s standing has been established, property law cannot be used as a basis for the claims of Native Americans in most such cases.
(D) In most such cases, common law does not currently provide a clear basis for establishing that Native Americans have standing.
(E) Common law is rarely used as a basis for the claims of Native Americans who have established standing in such cases.

正确选项：D       我的选择：B
D选项定位到Line 17--20， “but in cases where the graves are ancient... ”； B选项根本不相干。

错误原因：审题错误，并且在阅读时候没有注意到文中对“common law” 的适用范围的界定。

12. The passage suggests that in making the ruling in Carrier v. Bell the Court is most likely to have considered the answer to which one of the following questions?
(A) Are the descendants of the deceased still alive?
(B) What was the reason for burying the objects in question?
(C) How long after interment had buried objects been claimed by a stranger?
(D) Did the descendants of the deceased remain in the neighborhood of the cemetery?
(E) Could the property on which buried objects were found be legally considered to be abandoned property?

正确选项：B       我的选择：E

这个选项很具有欺骗性：我其实在定位前第一反应是对的，但之后在回文定位时错误地定位到 Line 33--- 36 “the common law doctrine of... ”，说的是 common law 对于abandonment objects 的条款不适用于 objects buried with the deceased. 于是想当然就选择了E。但是细加研究就发现，在这句话之后的句子揭示了为什么 common law 条款不适用。 “The court ruled that the practice of burying items with the body of the deceased 'is not intended as a means of relinquishing ...', and that interpret it as...” 这句话说的是随葬品并不是为了抛弃该物品而将所有权转手让人，所以说B选项的“reason” 说是正确的。

错误原因：第一反应是对的，但没有自信，回文定位确认时候，落入出题者陷阱，没有全面地看文章来回答从而错误的改了原答案，这说明原文定位的解题方法有缺陷！！！

第三篇文章：Comparing four hypotheses which explain the phenomenon of the latitudinal gradient in terms of the overall number of species.

1st p: introducing the phenomenon which appears that the overall number of species increases from pole to equator.

2nd p: time theory--- time fore species to emerge are longer in tropical areas

3rd p: species-energy hypothesis--- energy from Sun correlated with rates of growth and reproduction

4th p: climatic stability--- stable climate provides more reliable supply of resources

5th and 6th p: most plausible theory is the regional speciation--- speciation rates become higher toward the tropics and are not negated by extinction rates.

错题：19. Which one of the following inferences about the biological characteristics of a temperate-zone
grassland is most strongly supported by the passage?
(A) It has more different species than does a tropical-zone forest.
(B) Its climatic conditions have been severely interrupted in the past by a succession of ice ages.
(C) If it has a large amount of biomass, it also has a large number of different species.
(D) It has a larger regional pool of species than does an arctic grassland.
(E) If population groups become isolated at its edges, they are likely to adapt to local conditions and become new species.

正确选项：D    我的选择：E

D选项是很明显的事实；而 E 选项有可能是错的因为如果被孤立的群体在该地不能得到足够的资源的话有可能灭绝。

错误原因：其实这道题我一开始也选对了，但是又多想了一下觉得没这么简单，而且害怕很明显的事实不会是正确答案。深层次原因还是没有一下子找出 E 选项的逻辑错误之处。

20. With which one of the following statements concerning possible explanations for the latitudinal gradient in number of species would the author be most likely to agree?
(A) The time theory is the least plausible of proposed hypotheses, since it does not correctly assess the impact of ice ages upon tropical conditions.
(B) The rate-of-speciation hypothesis addresses a principal objection to the climatic-stability hypothesis.
(C) The major objection to the time theory is that it does not accurately reflect the degree to which the latitudinal gradient exists, especially when undiscovered species are taken into account.
(D) Despite the claims of the species-energy hypothesis, a high rate of biological growth and reproduction is more likely to exist with low biomass than with high biomass.
(E) An important advantage of the rate-of-speciation theory is that it considers species competition in a regional rather than local context.

正确选项：B    我的选项：E

B选项没有找出错误之处，但我也没找出来正确理由，但是 E 的错误之处在于 speciation theory 跟 species competition 根本没有关系。按排除法选择B。

错误原因：在阅读最后一段的时候有点大意，记忆比较模糊，居然把 species competition 张冠李戴到了 speciation theory。所以阅读时候一定要从头到尾集中精力！！！

第四篇文章：Comparing two impressive studies which have reexamined Eric William's conclusion about the reason that Britain's abolition of the slave trade in 1807 and the emancipation of slaves in its colonies in 1834.

1st p: William's conclusion is that the abolition and emancipation were driven by economic rather than humanitarian motives.

2nd p: Drescher's point view is that the abolition and emancipation were at least partly driven by widespread literacy and a tradition of political activism. But he was unable to explain one of the facts of British society which weakens his arguments.

3rd p: Eltis' answer is more plausible which actually supports some of Williams' insights. He argued that the reason is indeed on economic interest but with a different interpretation from Williams', i.e. the economy had begun to rely on voluntary labor, and the British leader became convinced that free labor was more beneficial to the imperial economy.

错题：24. According to Eltis, low wages and Draconian vagrancy laws in Britain in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries were intended to
(A) protect laborers against unscrupulous employment practices
(B) counter the move to enslave unemployed laborers
(C) ensure a cheap and productive work force
(D) ensure that the work force experienced no unemployment
(E) ensure that products produced in British colonies employing forced labor could compete effectively with those produced in Britain

正确选项：C    我的选择：E

题目所问的是目的并不是能否带来相应结果！！！所以选 C 并不是说low wage 和 Draconian vagrancy laws 就一定能带来 cheap and productive work force （cheap 是可以，但是 productive 不一定），而是说（因为当时的执政者还没有被新观念 convince， 仍然秉持旧观念 ）该政策是为了达成以上目的。而 E 选项完全错误，以上政策是在英国本土执行，不可能提高殖民地的竞争力。

错误原因：没有审清题意，没有注意 “were intend to”，并且把 E 选项的两个主语位置看反了。。。

25. It can be inferred that the author of the passage views Drescher’s presentation of British traditions concerning liberty as
(A) accurately stated
(B) somewhat unrealistic
(C) carefully researched
(D) unnecessarily tentative
(E) superficially convincing

正确选项： B    我的选择：E

态度题，B 选项正确是因为作者说到了 “Drescher does not explain how England, a nation deeply divided by class struggles, could mobilize popular support for antislavery measures proposed by otherwise conservative politicians in the House of Lords and approved there with little dissent” 者能推出 Drescher 的论点不现实。而 E 选项错误是因为作者并没有说 Drescher 表面上更具有说服力。

错误原因：没有考虑作者反驳 Drescher 论点的依据。

进步好明显，时间，正确率，正准备找你的LSAT 20的第一篇的第5题看解析！

这道题我也差点儿做错。。。CD两个选项中有一个是对的，一个是相当相似的迷惑选项
(C) A conductor rehearses each section of the
orchestra separately before assembling them
to rehearse the entire piece together.
这个选项相当迷惑！！！它是错的！！！
你仔细分析就知道 conductor 不论怎么样 rehearse，这个交响乐最终还是现场演奏。
而原文中的情况并不一样，是针对不同音乐家录制曲目，然后通过后期剪辑完成整个作品。
这正好和 D 的情况吻合，即：

(D) An artist has several photographers take
pictures pertaining to a certain assigned
theme and then assembles them into a
pictorial collage.

这是说对于同一个主题照不同的照片，通过后期剪辑完成整个作品。

其它选项很明显错误，可以排除掉
