本题要求从题目中找出主要的逻辑错误,也就是Argument题目的提纲,同时每一个逻辑错误准备一套语言套路去反驳。
Walnut Grove的市委提议选择ABC Waste,而不是EZ Disposal(它是过去十年中和Walnut Grove签约提供垃圾收集服务的机构),因为EZ最近把他们每月的收费从$2000提高到了$2500,而ABC仍然是$2000。但市委是错误的,我们应该继续使用EZ。EZ每周收集两次垃圾,而ABC只收集一次。而且,EZ当前的卡车拥有量和ABC一样都是20辆,但它已定购了更多的车辆。最后,EZ还提供优越的服务:去年市镇调查中80%的回应者同意他们对于EZ的表现是"满意"的。
观点提示
1、作者认为EZ比ABC更值得,基于EZ一周收集两次垃圾而ABC只有一次。但并没有提出详细的信息证明一个月清理两次垃圾对于Walnut Grove是必要的。
2、此外,作者还指出EZ正在订购额外的卡车并提供许多额外服务,但并没有提供ABC的情况。首先,没必要,其次说不准ABC也有。
3、卡车作为固定资产的购入可能会增加收费。

SECTION 3
Directions: Each passage in this group is followed by questions based on its content. After reading a passage, choose the best answer to each question. Answer all questions following a passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.
Feminist critics have often pondered whether a postmodern language may
be articulated that obviates the essentialist arrogance of much modernist and
some feminist discourse and does not reduce feminism to silences or a purely
negative and reactionary stance. This ideal may be actualized in a discourse that
(5) recognizes itself as historically situated, as motivated by values and, thus,
political interests, and as a human practice without transcendent justification.
The author Dorothy Allison meets these criteria by focusing on women who have
been marginalized by totalizing forces and ideas, while simultaneously
reminding the reader, through the wide range of women that she portrays and
(10) their culpability in her protagonists' predicaments, that unlike pure and
transcendent heroes, women are real characters and morally complex. Allison
insists that humans are burdened with the responsibility of fashioning their own
stories, quotidian as they may be, and while these will never offer the solace of
transcendent justification, the constant negotiation between the word and the
(15) world avoids reticence on the one hand and the purely negative on the other.
It can be inferred from the passage that the author views the justification through literature as a concept that
A.derives from a negative stance toward feminism
B.predates the birth of postmodernism as a literary movement
C.encourages writers to tell humdrum stories
D.limits the construction of morally complex characters
E.contributes to the politicization and historical orientation of texts
