  Our words are meaningless and cannot be distinguished from their opposites, as can be proved by an example. People think that they know the difference between the meaning of “bald”and“having hair.” Suppose an average person twenty-one years of age has N hairs on his or her head. We say that that person is not bald but has hair. But surely one hairs less would make no difference, and a person with N-1 hairs on his or her head would be said to have hair. Suppose we kept on, with one hair less each time. The result would be the same. But what would be the difference between someone who had one hair and someone who had none? We call them both bald. Nowhere can we make a distinction between “bald”and“having hair.”

  Which of the following statements best counters the argument above?

  A:The word “bald”can be translated into another languages.

  B:A word can have more than one meaning.

  C:A word such as “cat”can be applied to several animals that differ in some respects.

  D:Words can lack precision without being meaningless.

  E:People cannot think clearly without using words.

  最佳解析:

  本题使用了一个荒谬的推理,由至少一根头发不构成任何区别的原则,那么持续下去,bald和have hair之间也就没有区别了。显然,bald and have hairs是有区别的,但没有精确的区别,我们无法定义到底多少根头发是秃的,也无法精确定义少于多少根头发是秃的,但bald和have hairs显然是有区别的,所以(D)说明了上面推理的错误,即单词可以缺乏精确性但不至于无意义。我们注意一下剩下的四个选择。All of them does not make any sense!考生可以轻松的排除剩下的四个选项,因为它们太荒谬了。其实GRE其他逻辑单题的错误选项同样荒谬,只不过不像本题那样显而易见,所以我们必须学习辨识错误选项的能力。抓住问题目的,选项就不难排除了,在以后几章中本书会重点介绍这种辨认错误选项的方法。

  答案:D
