Issue 1：
政府应该着眼组于当下问题和未来的
Argument 1：
城市人的读书习惯
真题还原：
In a study of the reading habits of Waymarsh citizens conducted by the University of Waymarsh, most respondents said that they preferred literary classics as reading material. However, a second study conducted by the same researchers found that the type of book most frequently checked out of each of the public libraries in Waymarsh was the mystery novel. Therefore, it can be concluded that the respondents in the first study had misrepresented their reading habits.
1. 题目翻译
在一次由W大学所举行的关于W居阅读习惯的调查中，多数被访者说他们倾向于阅读古典文学。然而，由相同的研究人员随后进行的调查发现W所有公共图书馆中最经常被借阅的书是神秘小说。因此，我们可以得出结论，第一次调查的被访者错误地表达了他们的阅读习惯。

2. 本题逻辑错误分析
a) 第二个调查中的假设不能支持其结论，因为当地人不一定都从图书馆借书来看，他们仍可能通过买书等方式来阅读文学经典，所以研究并不能得到悬疑小说是当地人最爱的结论。
b) 即使第二个研究能够得到相应的结论，作者也忽略了这些书可能既是文学经典又是悬疑小说的可能性。比如福尔摩斯系列的小说，可以被当作文学经典，又可以被当作悬疑小说，所以这两个研究的结论不一定有冲突。
c) 即使两个调查的结论确实有冲突，作者也不一定能得到第一个调查有问题的结论。因为也可能是第二个研究出了问题，比如图书馆给错了数据，或是悬疑小说的分类定义出现了差错，总之未必是第一个研究的问题。

Issue 2：

Argument 2：

Reading Section

　　逻辑题
　　Avionics is a portmanteau word meaning “aviation electronics.” It is a term that has evolved over the last 40 years as airplane instrumentation has evolved from mostly mechanical to largely electronic. Today, avionics makes up the large part of the cost of any aircraft. Guidance and navigation systems are integrated. Communications includes public address systems for communicating with passengers, intercoms for communicating with flight crews, and radio or SatCom for communicating with ground personnel. In addition, planes today have weather radar, lightning detectors, automatic flight control systems, and collision-avoidance systems. All of these systems must work in tandem in order for the plane to fly.

　　Select one answer choice.
　　Which of the following inferences about avionics is best supported by the passage?
　　(A) Within a decade, passenger planes will take off and land without human intervention.
　　(B) Soon passenger planes will include features that now appear only on military planes.
　　(C) Just 40 years ago, there were no electronic devices on passenger airplanes.
　　(D) As avionics becomes more common, the cost of manufacturing planes will decrease.
　　(E) A glitch in a plane's electrical system may be the greatest danger in flight today.
