Politician: It is unfair to burden today's taxpayers with the cost of government measures to fight global warming. Global warming will have a far greater impact decades from now, when many of today's citizens will no longer be alive and thus will not be affected by it. Therefore, a more appropriate way to fund the fight against global warming is through long-term government borrowing, since________.
Which of the following, if true, most logically completes the politician's argument?
A. it is essential to fund the fight against global warming promptly so that most of today's taxpayers can benefit from doing so.
B. doing so will help to prevent global warming from having a great impact on future taxpayers decades from now.
C. governments frequently engage in long-term borrowing to fund many projects other than the fight against global warming.
D. it is inappropriate to fund measures to fight global warming if its effects will not substantially affect many.
E. most of the expense of this borrowing will be borne by future taxpayers who will benefit more from the fight against global warming.
Country X now has dozens of newspapers with national circulation. But competition for subscribers is driving down prices: the selling price per copy is far less than the production cost per copy for virtually all the newspaper. We must therefore expect a significant number of the newspapers to go out of business.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. The total share of these newspapers’ revenue from advertising tends to be relatively small.
B. Newspaper readers in Country X tend to read newspapers online for free, instead of paying for subscriptions.
C. Newspaper prices are likely to fall much further as more and more news consumers get their news from other sources.
D. For most of the newspapers, the total revenue from advertising exceeds the revenue from paid subscriptions.
E. For any newspaper, when its number of subscribers, its production cost per issue increases.

Which of the following, if true, most logically completes the politician's argument?
A. it is essential to fund the fight against global warming promptly so that most of today's taxpayers can benefit from doing so. 无关
B. doing so will help to prevent global warming from having a great impact on future taxpayers decades from now. 无关
C. governments frequently engage in long-term borrowing to fund many projects other than the fight against global warming. 与除了全球变暖的其他项目无关
D. it is inappropriate to fund measures to fight global warming if its effects will not substantially affect many. 无关
E. most of the expense of this borrowing will be borne by future taxpayers who will benefit more from the fight against global warming. 消费借款的人会变成未来的纳税者，未来人享受应对全球变暖的好处，正确

X有很多报纸，但是竞争让介个下降，卖报纸的价格已经远低于生产的价格，所以很多报纸商会倒闭
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. The total share of these newspapers’ revenue from advertising tends to be relatively small. 取反，报纸从广告中的收入对于整体收入来说不会小，说明广告收入比卖报纸收入高，所以不会倒闭，使结论不成立，正确
B. Newspaper readers in Country X tend to read newspapers online for free, instead of paying for subscriptions. 取反，人们不在网上免费看，而愿意付钱订阅，那加强了结论
C. Newspaper prices are likely to fall much further as more and more news consumers get their news from other sources. 取反，报纸价格在未来不会降低，现在已经低于成本价了，不会降低也不能解决问题
D. For most of the newspapers, the total revenue from advertising exceeds the revenue from paid subscriptions. 取反，广告收入没有超过订阅收入，加强结论
E. For any newspaper, when its number of subscribers, its production cost per issue increases. 无关
