GRE阅读考试模拟题及答案解析(6)

  P3

  The use of heat pumps has been held back largely by skepticism about advertisers‘ claims that heat pumps can provide as many as two units of thermal energy for each unit of electrical energy used, thus apparently contradicting the principle of energy conservation. (43 words)

  有热泵广告声称每消耗一单位电能可以提供两单位热能,这明显违背了能量守恒定律,对此产生的怀疑造成热泵的严重滞销。

  6. If the author‘s assessment of the use of heat pumps is correct, which of the following best expresses the lesson that advertisers should learn from this case?

  (A) Do not make exaggerated claims about the products you are trying to promote.

  (B) Focus your advertising campaign on vague analogies and veiled implications instead of on facts.

  (C) Do not use facts in your advertising that will strain the prospective client‘s ability to believe.

  (D) Do not assume in your advertising that the prospective clients know even the most elementary scientific principles.

  (E) Concentrate your advertising firmly on financially relevant issues such as price discounts and efficiency of operation.

  选A/C

  争议烂题。

  这又是一道从长文章的头部截取的片段做成了新题。  如果只看红字第一句话,你会认为广告只是在吹牛,吹的太夸张了,以至于挑战了人们熟知的基本科学原理,所以会毫不犹豫地选 A 。

  而原文段后面还有数倍长度的内容,给你解释为什么广告其实没有吹牛,整个过程看似(apparently)违背能量守恒,其实不违背,而广告中的说法也就不再是 exaggeration 而变成了 fact ,这就使我们可以接受选 C 。

  很遗憾,新东方在改编这道题目的时候,忽略了这些,讨论区反应大面积做错。
