GMAT逻辑机经：【Boldface】收购农业土地

　　Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development. They plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it. That plan is ill-conceived: if the farmers did sell their land, they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other bidders. On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable. But farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires. And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.

　　In the argument as a whole, the two boldface proportions play which of the following roles?

　　A. The first presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; the second is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection.

　　B. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attained; the second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion.

　　C. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes can be attained; the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion.

　　D. The first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evaluated in the argument; the second is a judgment providing a basis for the argument’s advocacy of a particular strategy.

　　E. The first presents a goal that the argument endorses; the second presents a situation that the argument contends must be changed if that goal is to be met in the foreseeable future.

　　选D项

　　【解释】由于一开始狗主的回忆有一点点问题，所以导致一开始答案错误。。。sorry了。。

　　这题选择D，没有问题。当然，我猜很多人有问题，是不是选A了?哈哈，来，鹤鹤给各位大爷分析分析。

　　这儿，一开始是是一个goal应该大家没问题。但是，第一个问题来了，这个goal到底文章支持还是反对?我们要特别留意接下去的两句话 “They plan to do XXXXX. That plan is ill-conceived”：看到了吗?Ill-conceived的plan，不是那个goal!!!所以A直接可以排除了!然后接下去，我们看on the other hand。我们看on the other hand后面的结构：on the other hand，如果XXX，农民是不会卖地的。但是要实现XXX是要怎么怎么怎么样的。所以这就是我们提出一种更好的办法的原因。现在，明白了吗?哦~~~原来on the other hand的另一个plan其实在最后一句话，明白了吗?

　　记住，这题最最最恶心的地方在于，看鹤鹤在原题用红色做记号的两个词：记住，这个第一个买和第二个卖不是对应的?第一个买的意思是：从农民那儿买来，这样子，农民就不会卖给开发商，这样开发商买不到地，就不会开发了!第二个农民的卖，记住，这儿的意思不是卖个作者，而是卖给开发商(以用于开发)!大家只有搞清楚这点，才能做这题。

　　所以，文章真正结构简化就是这样：我们有一个目标。我们要组织开发商开发，所以相当于要阻止开发商买到地。现在有两种方法：第一种方法是我们买下来，这样开发商就买不到了。但是，由于XXX原因，比较难。On the other hand，农民其实不会卖地给开发商，只要AAAAA。但是要AAAAA必须要BBBBB。所以，我们有更好的办法，那就是，保证BBBBB，这样就能实现AAAAA，实现了AAAAA，农民就不会卖地给开放商了，开放商买不到地，就不会开发了。

　　知道这个之后，我想D应该不会有问题啦~~~
