三年级的补习班TS题打击了博士生爸爸的自信

蕙质岚心

爸爸给娃讲这道错题，讲了半天，才发现答案和自己选的不一样。。。。 作为博士的他，自尊受到了严重打击。
于是我让他辅导数学去了，找找自信
题目如下：

The top forty percent of the Australian economy is responsible for paying nearly two-thirds of the total debt. This indicates
that the people who are in the most debt are professionals from the middle class, such as lawyers, bankers, doctors, and
other similar occupations. These individuals are the pillars upon which any economy is built. They will simply reduce their
discretionary spending if they find themselves in a difficult financial situation in the near future, which will have a negative
impact on the economy as a whole.

What is the main conclusion of the passage?
A. The top forty percent of Australia's population must avoid debt at all costs to safeguard the economy.
B. To protect the economy, Australia needs to care for its top 40% of earners.
C. Most debts come from professionals, and increased rates can make the economy suffer.
D. The Australian population influences its economy, thus, serving as a pillar of its stability and development

所以TS和ENGLISH,WRITING压根不要碰，孩子自己弄就好，可能家长帮倒忙。 或者外面找老师也行，专业的人干专业的事。

The main conclusion of the passage is that the middle class professionals, who make up the top forty percent of the Australian economy and are responsible for paying the majority of the country's debt, play a crucial role in the stability and development of the economy. The passage emphasizes that their discretionary spending could decrease as a result of their debt, which could harm the economy as a whole. Therefore, it is essential to take care of this group of individuals to ensure the long-term stability of the economy. Therefore, the answer is D.

The main conclusion of the passage is that if the professionals from the middle class, who are responsible for paying two-thirds of the total debt, find themselves in a difficult financial situation, they will reduce their discretionary spending, which will negatively impact the economy as a whole. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

The main conclusion of the passage is that the middle-class professionals in Australia, who constitute the top forty percent of the population, are responsible for paying the majority of the country's debt, and any financial difficulties they face will negatively impact the economy as a whole. Therefore, increased rates of debt among this group could have serious implications for the stability and development of the economy.

Option C best summarizes the main conclusion of the passage.

The main conclusion of the passage is that Australia needs to care for its top 40% of earners to protect the economy. This is because these individuals are the pillars upon which the economy is built. They will simply reduce their discretionary spending if they find themselves in a difficult financial situation in the near future, which will have a negative impact on the economy as a whole.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

三年级TS题考政治经济？剑桥肯定干不出这种事来。

题干完全没有提到increase rate，结论怎么就突然冒出来increase rate？题干只是说如果那些人遇到财务危机，并没有提到如何引起财务危机。另外，top 40% of the economy 如何就锁定在了那些职业人群？题干中的信息有很多gaps，答案C给出的increase rate更是完全新的信息，剑桥不会出漏洞如此明显的题。

没错，这是题目的另一个问题，没有考虑学生的年龄因素，就是六年级也不会有这样的题目。我可以想象补习机构是照着剑桥给大学生的题目自己改，但其实这样的modifications大部分时候破坏了原有题目的逻辑链条，从而导致题目本身不严谨，产生很多歧义。

我觉得B也没什么问题～

winforjewellery

这题还挺明显的啊，特别是文章最后一句，很明显是在说这种中产负债的现象对经济的影响啊。太具体的选项肯定不能选，问的是主要的结论。

C的问题主要在于increase rate是新信息，这种题目答案里面的内容应该完全来自题干，这也是做这个类型的题目的一个很重要的技巧。

我一开始也选的B，但如果仔细推敲，B也不严谨，因为take care of太宽泛，不能和题干中说的财务危机呼应。
