Q18:
The growing popularity of computer-based activities was widely expected to result in a
decline in television viewing, since it had been assumed that people lack sufficient free
time to maintain current television-viewing levels while spending increasing amounts of
free time on the computer. That assumption, however, is evidently false: in a recent mail
survey concerning media use, a very large majority of respondents who report increasing
time spent per week using computers report no charge in time spent watching television.

Which of the following would it be most useful to determine in order to evaluate the
argument?
A. Whether a large majority of the survey respondents reported watching television
regularly
B. Whether the amount of time spent watching television is declining among people
who report that they rarely or never use computers
C. Whether the type of television programs a person watches tends to change as the
amount of time spent per week using computers increases
D. Whether a large majority of the computer owners in the survey reported spending
increasing amounts of time per week using computers
E. Whether the survey respondents’ reports of time spent using computers included
time spent using computers at work


本題DE決選,答案給E

Which of the following would it be most useful to determine in order to evaluate the argument?
這題題目這樣的問法,是要evaluate前面的結論,還是後面說他是錯誤的假設??

[Behemoth]

evaluate~

[agk99]

我看題目也知道是evaluate
請晉級為草莓族的 behemoth再多講一些

我用排除法很勉強選到E，但有可能直接選出E嗎

[QQcandy]

evaluate~

b 桑很惜字如金ㄛ (d10) 可惜 QQ 我沒那慧根企頓悟吶 (d8)

可以講一下你的意思是 envulate 題目前半段的話嗎 ? 那 從後半段 That assumption, however, is evidently false: ....是辦演甚麼角色 ??

[Behemoth]

真是抱歉 我看成mike是要問這題考什麼了...

題目要我們evaluate這個argument

那麼這個argument的論點是在最後,也就是however...那句話

所以我們要評論的是最後這句..

拿我來說,沒有達到一級高手的境界--看題直接選出答案

通常是合併排除法使用...

建議你吃點明目的 :P

那麼這個argument的論點是在最後,也就是however...那句話
...

今天又看了一遍,覺得這題evaulate是文章給的evidence跟conclusion的差異
However那句話,只是談到假設是錯誤的,因為只調查花在電腦多少時間,去沒調查看電視花了多少時間

但這題要評估的是,這個所謂使用電腦的時間是有包括工作時間
文章下的結論是要在空閒時間的基準下,去調查花再電腦的時間還是看電視的時間比較多

那麼however那句話,大家覺不覺得那是個幌子
在討論囉!! 8-|

好像不是E的樣子。

E. Whether the survey respondents’ reports of time spent using computers included
time spent using computers at work


本題DE決選,答案給E

題目說assumption 是"lack sufficient free time"看電視,
但conclusion是否定assumption,因為"no change in time in time spent watching television"
所以要evalute的是到底"increasing time spent using computers "是否真的造成lack sufficient free time看電視
E應該是最好的選項, 如果at work increasing time spent using computers 原文結論成立, 反之結論不成立
以上是個人拙見, 大家一起討論

~參考意見~
此類型的題目
通常都是從survey respondents 下手~
好比: 測驗前, 兩組的情況依樣嗎?
或 參加測驗的人 有沒有就有某種情況?

[td91]

]computers report no charge in time spent watching television.[/b] <== 請問這句話是什麼意思呢?

[/quote]

charge應該是錯字吧，我覺得是change....

[crepuscule]

no "charge" in time spent watching TV(沒有時間/沒有花時間看電視)
和
no "change" in time spent watching TV (花在看電視的時間不變)
是不一樣的意思喔

原題的意思應該是前者喔~~

[Ace]

同意大家的說法
確實把範圍設在respondent
因為pc user不等於pc owner
D選項的主題似乎與題目關聯不大
