GRE考試作文詳解

　　【題目】Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been unique to the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a " Palean" basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could only have crossed it by boat, but there is no evidence that the Paleans had boats. And boats capable of carrying groups of people and cargo were not developed until thousands of years after the Palean people disappeared. Moreover, Paleans would have had no need to cross the river—the woods around Palea are full of nuts, berries, and small game. It follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not unique to Palea.

　　【中文翻譯】一種具有獨特花紋的編織籃子以前只在史前村莊P的臨近地區發現過，因而被認為是P居民所獨有的。然而最近，考古學家在一個與P存隔著一條叫做B的河流的村莊L發現了一個這樣的P籃子。B的河水很深很寬，所以古代P人只能坐船穿過它，但沒有證據表明P的人擁有船只。而且能夠運載大量人和貨物的船只直到P人消失幾千年之后才出現。而且，P人應該沒有必要穿過這條河流――P周圍的林地有豐富的果實和小動物。這表明這種所謂的P籃子不是P村的人所獨有的。

　　【注意】題目種畫線的地方即為出現推理的地方，讀題的時候要注意一下這樣的地方，一般都會又邏輯漏洞。

　　【題目邏輯關系】

　　①B的河水很深很寬→要過河必須by boat

　　②沒有證據表明P的人擁有船只→P就沒有船只→P就過不了河

　　③能夠運載大量人和貨物的船只直到P人消失幾千年后出現→P當時沒有船過河

　　④P周圍有果實和動物→P就不需要過河

　　⑤不過河→籃子就到不了L地

　　⑥P的籃子不能通過過河L地，L地又有籃子→籃子不是P地特有的

　　【題目邏輯關系存在的漏洞及分析】

　　① 過河的辦法有很多種，雖然沒有船只，也許有橋，也許有當地人發明的過和工具，例如木筏等東西

　　②no evidence ≠ no?，沒有證據表明P人有船只不代表P人沒有船只，也許證據被破壞了，等等（BTW，我個人認為這一點不是很重要）

　　③這是不相干的東西，小船只就可以過去了啊，干嘛一定要運載大量人和貨物的船只呢？
