2.The extent to which a society is really free can be gauged by its attitude toward artistic expression. Freedom of expression can easily be violated in even the most outwardly democratic of societies. When a government arts council withholds funding fro m a dance performance that its members deem “obscene,” the voices of a few bureaucrats have in fact censored the work of the choreographer, thereby committing the real obscenity of repression.
　　Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument above?
　　第二道weaken題，首先讀題干，知道要攻擊“因為”。
　　原文的意思：
　　因為——對藝術(shù)表達(dá)的態(tài)度決定了社會是否真正自由(態(tài)度不好決定了社會不自由);
　　政府抽回舞蹈演出資金是態(tài)度不好，
　　所以——社會不自由。
　　思路：我們要反對“因為”，就可以從以上兩個“因為”入手，答案中凡是質(zhì)疑其中之一的就是正確答案。
　　因此，答案為“Failing to provide financial support for a performance is not the same as actively preventing or inhibiting it.”
　　3.The local high school students have been clamoring for the freedom to design their own curricula. Allowing this would be as disastrous as allowing 3-year-olds to choose their own diet. These students have neither the maturity nor the experience to equal that of the professional educators now doing the job.
　　Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument above?
　　本體是strengthen題，
　　首先讀題干，要支持“因為”。
　　原文的意思：
　　因為——學(xué)生不成熟，沒經(jīng)驗
　　所以——讓學(xué)生自己選課就像讓兒童自己選菜一樣行不通。
　　思路：我們要支持“因為”，因此，答案中支持“學(xué)生不成熟，沒經(jīng)驗”的選項正確。
　　因此，答案為“The ability to design good curricula develops only after years of familiarity with educational life.”
　　四、總結(jié)
　　在平時練習(xí)時好能邊讀原文邊用簡潔的語言記錄在紙上，就像以上我給大家提供的“原文的意思”一樣，這樣不但利于讀懂原文，也可以讓邏輯關(guān)系一目了然。當(dāng)然，我前文寫的“原文的意思”長了些，是為了利于大家理解，實際上可以大大縮短。你可以用更簡練的語言或符號，要求只有一個，自己看得明白就行。我計算了一下，寫下這些文字的時間多占用10秒鐘。因此，即使你在考試時在紙上寫下這些梗概，也不會耽誤太多時間。比起因回視耽誤的時間，不過是小巫見大巫而已。
