　　GMAT逻辑中程度副词的重要性 　　GMAT逻辑部分平均每道题要在100秒内做完，在这短短的时间当中，最关键的是读什么呢?当然是论点!论点讨论的范围的重要性已经不言而喻，这里我们来看看论点的程度的重要性。 　　(OG) 　　Rye sown in the fall and plowed into the soil in early spring leaves a residue that is highly effective at controlling broad-leaved weeds, but unfortunately for only about forty-five days. No major agricultural crop matures from seed in as little as forty-five days. Synthetic herbicides, on the other hand, although not any longer-lasting, can be reapplied as the crop grows. Clearly, therefore, for major agricultural crops, plowing rye into the soil can play no part in effective weed control. 　　The argument is most vulnerable to the objection that it fails to 　　(A) consider that there might be minor, quick-growing crops that do mature in forty-five days or less 　　(B) identify any alternative method of weed control that could be used instead of the method it rejects 　　(C) distinguish among the various kinds of synthetic herbicides 　　(D) allow for the possibility of combining the two weed-control methods it mentions 　　(E) allow for the possibility that plants other than rye, handled the same way, might have the same effect 　　这道题的正确选项是D，很多同学不理解正确选项的思路。本题的关键之处在于论点(最后一句)中的play no part是绝对化表达，所以只需要说明plowing rye into the soil有一点作用，即可削弱论点。而如果将论点改为普通的“措施目的型”文章论点“使用新措施可以更有效”，D就能成为正确答案。 　　下面再看一道难一点的： 　　(PREP) 　　Bank depositors in the United States are all financially protected against bank failure because the government insures all individuals bank deposits. An economist argues that this insurance is partly responsible for the high rate of bank failures, since it removes from depositors any financial incentive to find out whether the bank that holds theirmoney is secure against failure. If depositors were more selective, then banks would need to be secure in order to compete for depositors money. 　　The economists argument makes which of the following assumptions? 　　(A) Bank failures are caused when big borrowers default on loan repayments. 　　(B) A significant proport
