看到事件結果，確認原因的類型 (確認之原因) an interest in culture and the arts, especially music, has a positive impact on academic performance. (看到結果) students attending schools that offered classes --> score higher 所以相對應的跳躍思考部分為 an interest in culture and the arts VS students attending schools that offered classes 也就是說 作者認為 學校有 offer art & music class 就是原本 theory (原因) 提到的 interest in culture and the arts 所以答案 (C) Students attending schools with cultural enrichment programs, whether they participated in such a program or not, possessed a higher average level of interest in culture and the arts than did students at other schools. 連接了 "學校有提供 art & music 課程" "和對 art & music 有興趣" 而答案 (E) 說 除了學校以外 沒有其他管道可以 develp interest "opportunities to develop interest" 並沒有像 (C) 來得這麼直接 "possessed a higher average level of interest" 且 Assumption 和 support 不同點是 Assumption 的對象 多半在討論 Argument 之中的事物 Argument 裡面所說的 是 students attending schools that offers classes 所以 (C) 比較像 Assumption (E) 像是 Support 請比較以下一樣的題目 但一個是 Assumption 一個是 Support 即可瞭解我提到的概念: Assumption: http://www.kaogmat.com/question/1345.html Support: http://www.kaogmat.com/question/3363.html ※ 引述《Metonymia (Metonymia)》之銘言： : 估狗過了, 如果有重複還請見諒! 這題是老題目了: : Educational theorists have long hypothesized that an : interest in culture and the arts, especially music, has a : positive impact on academic performance. A recent study : of high school seniors confirms this theory. A test measuring : proficiency in a broad range of academic disciplines was : administered to high school seniors in major cities in the : northeastern United States. The average score of students : who attended schools that offered classes in art history and : music appreciation was significantly higher than that of : students who attended schools without such cultural enrichment : programs. : The agrument above assumes which of the following? : A. At the schools offering art history and music appreciation : classes, such classes were open to underclassmen, as well as : juniors and seniors. : B. Enrollment in the art history and music appreciation classes : was restricted to students who had previously demonstrated : an interest in culture and the arts. : C. Students attending schools with cultural enrichment programs, : whether they participated in such a program or not, possessed : a higher average level of interest in culture and the arts than did : students at other schools. : D. Among students attending schools offering cultural enrichment : classes, those enrolled in such classes performed better on the : test than did those not enrolled in such classes. : E. Students attending the schools that did not offer enrichment : programs had no other opportunities to develop interest in culture : and the arts. : 問: 答案是C還是E呢? : (很多人選C.... ) : 這題問的是Assumption. 我的解法如下 : A 錯, 題目沒說 : B 錯, 題目沒說 : D 錯, 題目沒提到'選課'(enrolment)和成績的關係 : 為什麼我覺得C錯: : 本題的argument是說, 對音樂的興趣和學業成績成正比. 有提供文化藝術音樂等 : 課程的學校, 學生的學業成績'相較於'那些沒有提供文化藝術音樂課程學校的學生 : 來得高.(不好意思有點拗口) : 我初看覺得這是一個很可能的假設, 因為對音樂文化有興趣--> 教育學家又認為 : 對音樂文化的興趣和學業成正比--> 故這些去有提供音樂文化課程學校的學生 : 成績較好 : 但是總是有怪怪的地方, 從題目我們只知道凡是去有提供音樂藝術文化這類課程 : 學校的學生, 成績較好, 但是我們不知道他們是否都有'興趣' : 另外C選項結尾的...'than did students at other schools'也很可疑, 有種 : out of scope的感覺. 文中學校的分類只有一個標準 - 有沒有提供藝術類課程. : E 我覺得是對的, 因為排除了這個因素, 才能確保這兩群學生之間唯一的差別 : 在於學校是否有提供藝術類課程. 也因此才能確保'學校課程'與'成績'之間的相關性. : 不過E感覺又不太像是'假設'... : 所以C跟E到底怎麼選呢? : 不好意思解釋的很混亂啊QQ~ 邏輯真差... 還請大大們幫幫我吧~~~ -- Dounts GMAT 資訊網站: http://ndxica.pixnet.net/blog --
