大全－II－17, 大全－II－18

Questions 17-18 are based on the following.

Professor A: We must make a strong moral statement against Country X’s policies. Only total divestment—the sale of all stock in companies that have factories or business offices in X—can do this. Therefore, the university should divest totally.

Professor B: Our aim should be to encourage X to change its policies. Partial divestment is the best way to achieve this aim. Therefore, the university should sell its stock only in companies that either sell goods to X’s government, or do the majority of their business in X, or treat their workers in X unfairly.

17.   rofessor A’s and Professor B’s arguments differ in which of the following ways?

(A) They state the same goal but propose different ways of achieving it.

(B) They state different goals but propose the same way of achieving them.

(C) They state different goals and propose different ways of achieving them.

(D) They disagree about whether the university should sell any stock at all.（C）

(E) They disagree about whether X’s policies are objectionable.

18.   Which of the following, if true, would be evidence that the university would not be harmed economically if it followed Professor A’s recommendation.

(A) Very few of the companies in which the university owns stocks sell goods to X’s government.

(B) Most companies that have factories or business offices in X and in which the university owns stock actually do little of their business in X.

(C) Some companies that have factories or business offices in X and in which the university owns stock have instituted fair treatment policies for their workers in X at very little additional cost to the companies.

(D) The expected financial return to the university from stocks that the university could own under a policy of total divestment is approximately the same as the expected financial return from the same as the expected financial.（D）

(E) If the university sold large blocks of stock under a policy of total divestment, the prices of the stocks of the companies whose stocks were sold would probably decrease somewhat.

找了一下，没有看见有人讨论过此题，不知道是不是自己太差劲了，看了好几遍还是没有看懂题目在讲什么，可能是阅读太差了，希望能指点一下，到底题目是在讲什么的。

同問！！

18題的D選項是不是有錯誤？？the same as the expected financial怎么齣現暸兩遍？？？

顶上来，同问……看不懂题……

脸红中……

斗胆说两句(D) The expected financial return to the university from stocks that the university could own under a policy of total divestment is approximately the same as the expected financial return from the same as the expected financial.

这个same是指stocks吧

大概的意思就是学校把这些股票抛售得到的预期收益和投资这些股票时的预期收益是一样的。这样学校就没有经济损失了。

(D) The expected financial return to the university from stocks that the university could own under a policy of total divestment is approximately the same as the expected financial return from the same as the expected financial return from the university's current stocks.

选项有误 缺划线部份

说实话我也看不太懂,但单从做题角度而言,它是要求我们找the university would not be harmed economically 的支持论据.所以一看a,b c 就可以cancel掉的,因为根本没提到大学经济利益受损.e说大学抛掉stock后股价下跌显然不支持Professor A

so choose d

还是没明白18题，谁能详细说说题干的意思和解题的思路。
