问题
These days, everyone talks about being too busy. But all this busyness does not seem to result in things getting done. Just as many tasks are still left uncompleted, phone calls un-returned, and appointments missed as there were in the days before this outbreak of busyness. Therefore, people must not be as busy as they claim. Which one of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the conclusion in the passage?
选项
A、These days, looking busy is a status symbol.
B、People have to do much more these days than before the so-called outbreak of busyness.
C、People waste so much time talking about being busy that they fail to get things done.
D、Just as many things are getting done now as before the so-called outbreak of busyness.
E、People have more leisure time these days than before the so-called outbreak of busyness.
答案
B
解析
本题的考点在过去与现在的整体与部分之间的数量概念上的差异。本题由现在没有完成的工作,没有回的电话以及错过的约会的数量与所谓的繁忙发生之前一样的多,推出人们一定没有他们声称的那样忙。由部分推出整体是以前后整体的大小一致为前提。因此本题结论成立的一个前提条件是过去和现在要做的事情一样多。(B)对本题结论成立的前提条件进行了否定,因此(B)为正确答案。(D)很明显就是本题结论成立的前提;(E)从另一个方面对本题的结论构成了支持;因为看起来忙忙碌碌是一种地位的象征,因此人们为提高其地位都会声称他们很忙,而实际上并没有他们声称的那样忙,所以(A)对本题的结论构成了支持;(C)为无关选项。
