真题
5 You are allowed to vote in the general election only if you are at least 18 years old. You have reached 18 so you will be able to vote in the forthcoming election. Which one of the following most closely parallels the reasoning used in the above argument?
A You cannot obtain foreign currency from this bank if you cannot produce acceptable identification. You cannot produce the required identification, therefore we cannot let you have the foreign currency. B You can visit your grandmother in hospital providing you have no illness yourself. As you have no illness, you will be able to visit your grandmother. C We can afford to go to America this year only if you save up sufficient money. You haven’t saved enough so we will not be able to go. D To win the jackpot prize in the national lottery you need a ticket with all six prize-winning numbers. When I heard you had won the jackpot, I knew you had the lucky ticket that matched all the numbers from the draw. E Passport applications can only be accepted if photographs are witnessed as a likeness by someone in a professional job. Your application was refused so your witness cannot have been a professional person.
小孙老师有话说
这是一个典型的“parallels the reasoning 平行推理”的题型，这个题型在LSAT，GMAT等考试中也非常常见，属于难度较高的题目，大家需要小心对待。
不过这里的这道题难度不高，我们一起来看一下吧
题目解析
5 You are allowed to vote in the general election only if you are at least 18 years old. You have reached 18 so you will be able to vote in the forthcoming election. Which one of the following most closely parallels the reasoning used in the above argument?
只有当你至少年满18岁时，你才可以在大选中投票。你已经年满18岁，所以你将能够在即将举行的选举中投票。 以下哪一项与上述论证中使用的推理最接近？
这里我们首先需要把上述的推理进行一个梳理，把它整理为
👉 只有满足【A】，才能够【B】，因为你满足【A】，所以你可以【B】
然后我们来看选项
A You cannot obtain foreign currency from this bank if you cannot produce acceptable identification. You cannot produce the required identification, therefore we cannot let you have the foreign currency.A 如果你不能出示可接受的身份证明，你就不能从这家银行获得外币。你不能出示所需的身份证明，因此我们不能让你获得外币。
如果不满足【A】，则无法【B】，因为你不满足【A】，所以你不能【B】
题目是的逻辑是满足【A】，则【B】，而这个选项是不满足【A】，则无法【B】，两个逻辑不同，不选
B You can visit your grandmother in hospital providing you have no illness yourself. As you have no illness, you will be able to visit your grandmother. B 你可以去医院看望你的祖母，只要你自己没有病。因为你没有病，所以你可以探望你的祖母。
符合题目的逻辑，这里的条件A就是“没有生病”，并且“你”满足了这个条件，因而可以B“探望你的祖母”，正确答案
C We can afford to go to America this year only if you save up sufficient money. You haven’t saved enough so we will not be able to go.C 只有当你攒够了钱，我们才有能力在今年去美国。你没有存够钱，所以我们将不能去。
只有满足【A】，才【B】，但是选项里的“你”没有满足【A】，不选
D To win the jackpot prize in the national lottery you need a ticket with all six prize-winning numbers. When I heard you had won the jackpot, I knew you had the lucky ticket that matched all the numbers from the draw. D 要赢得国家彩票的大奖，你需要一张包含所有六个中奖号码的彩票。当我听说你中了头奖，我知道你有一张幸运的彩票，与开奖的所有数字都吻合。
👀！注意了，这是有点容易迷惑的选项，选项说的是只有满足【A】，才【B】，我知道“你”【B】了，所以推测你一定满足【A】，这里后面的推理虽然是合理的，但是题目给的是因为你满足【A】，所以你可以【B】，而这个选项是反过来推的，所以不能选
E Passport applications can only be accepted if photographs are witnessed as a likeness by someone in a professional job. Your application was refused so your witness cannot have been a professional person. 护照申请只有在照片被从事专业工作的人见证为相似的情况下才能被接受。你的申请被拒绝，所以你的证人不可能是专业人员。
这个选项错误的原因和D类似，只有满足【A】，才【B】，因为你不【B】，所以我推测你不满足【A】，和题目不符
