GWD-10-Q29:
Smithtown University’s fund-raisers succeeded in getting donations from 80 percent of the potential donors they contacted. This success rate, exceptionally high for university fund-raisers, does not indicate that they were doing a good job. On the contrary, since the people most likely to donate are those who have donated in the past, good fund-raisers constantly try less-likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base. The high success rate shows insufficient canvassing effort.
Which of the following, if true, provides more support for the argument?
A. Smithtown University’s fund-raisers were successful in their contacts with potential donors who had never given before about as frequently as were fund-raisers for other universities in their contacts with such people.
B. This year the average size of the donations to Smithtown University from new donors when the university’s fund-raisers had contacted was larger than the average size of donations from donors who had given to the university before.
C. This year most of the donations that came to Smithtown University from people who had previously donated to it were made without the university’s fund-raisers having made any contact with the donors.
D. The majority of the donations that fund-raisers succeeded in getting for Smithtown University this year were from donors who had never given to the university before.
E. More than half of the money raised by Smithtown University’s fund-raisers came from donors who had never previously donated to the university.
暈了...原本以為是c
看了cd一堆人說a...誰來救救我...
摘錄一些牛的對話....
我選A。理由如下:
題中說,S大學的募捐人員從聯繫的捐款者中得到捐款的比例是80%,而C說大部分捐款都是來自已經捐過款的人,並且募捐人員沒有跟這些人聯繫,這樣說明募捐者聯繫的人大多是以前沒有捐過款的人,在這些人中獲得這麼高比例的成功率說明他們的募捐非常有效,所以這樣反而是削弱了結論。注意:文中說的募捐成功率,與捐款數額無關,即使大部分捐款都來自以前捐過款的人,但並不排除新捐款的人數也很多,但捐款額不大的情況。
A說:S大學的募捐人員通過聯繫從沒有捐過款的人得到捐款的概率與其他大學的募捐者差不多,這樣就說明S大學的募捐人員聯繫的人當中,已經捐過款的人的比例比較高,所以才造成總體的募捐成功率比較高,這樣就加強了結論。
I agree with A. C seems to me weakens the argument.
I first made the choice of A without reading the explanations from each of you. I agree with Roberchu and ReedSong. Reed explained very well I think.
The author is trying to discredit the fundraisers in this case. If C was correct, as Reed points out, 80% success rate would have come from the less likely donors, thus weakening the argument.
4。A對結論的支援表現在:工作做得好,原文提供的標準是EXPAND DONOR BASE(即擴展NEW DONORS)。這方面S大學和他大學的RAISERS差不多(根據A),這80%中,高出別人的部分是OLD DONORS的,而根據原文的標準,這部分不能說明工作做得好。所以這exceptionally high 的80%,按照原文的好的標準,其實和其他大學一樣,比如他是70%成功率(在說明工作做得好方面,也就是NEW DONORS方面),其他他大學也是70%,所以你不能用80%來證明S大學的RAISERS工作做得好,即支持結論。
5。選項中C為無關項,BDE為WEAKEN。C意思為OLD DONORS中,多數不用CONTACT便捐款。對OLD DONORS是否需CONTACTS才捐款和原文沒關係(不能推出RAISERS沒努力)
我選C,因為原文的邏輯說成功率高說明這些人開拓工作做的不好,不去和生人聯絡以擴大BASE,如果支持,就要找依據說:對,就是這樣的,他們沒有和生人去接觸,因此C說哪些捐款的人是自己願意而不是由於工作做的好和他們接觸而爭取的.
I vote for C
you see, fund-raisers do not contract the donors who donote to the university, that is to say fund-raisers do not pool their efforts to expand the donor base.
I think C is correct. C不能說明聯繫了從未捐過款的人. 或許聯繫的都是捐過款的, 只是聯繫的都是捐的少的, 捐款多的都沒聯繫
題目問的是which support the conclusion,結論是他們的工作效率不高,C恰好直接說明了這一點!
而文中根本沒有提到其他學校,但當使用比較級時,比較的物件必須在前文中提及,所以A無關...C才是支援結論的!
