17-9Q9:


Press Secretary:  Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.  They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.  But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors.  So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.



Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?




  • Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.

  • The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.

  • The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.

  • The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.

  • Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.

    •    Answer: b

    yangxiaogang 写到:





    原文的论据是反对党所有的项目计划都是浪费， 结论是我们不能因为90%被总统否决计划来自反对党，就认为他在报复。
    但是 如果所有在被审查认为是浪费的计划中，执政党的计划占多数，但最后被否决的让大部分来自反对党( B取非)，那总统仍然就有存在报复
    所以B正确

    有个疑问


    如果报告仅仅对被取消的项目作评价，由于被取消的项目中90％是反对党的，好像很难得出这样的结论：大多数有浪费问题的项目是执政党这边的。


    请NN帮忙

    Q9:

    Press Secretary:  Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.  They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.  But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors.  So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.

     

    Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?

     

    1. Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.无关
    2. The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.
    3. The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.无关
    4. The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.
    5. Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.无关

       Answer:

    我认为此题答案是d而不是b.

    首先审题:题目问的是press secretary’s argument的assumption

    press secretary’s的结论是:
                        总统的选择显然是合理的预算政策驱动的,而不是党派政治

    B选项The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.把not盖住,被认为是浪费的项目几乎都是总统的党派的.说明总统是公平的,从预算角度出发的,不是报复的.把not盖住是加强,加上not说明被取消的几乎都不是政府党派的项目,那么就都是反对党的,就是报复.是削弱的答案.

    D选项The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.

    在被取消的项目中总统党派控制的不比被反对党控制的更贵.说明取消的项目是按照sound burdget来衡量的.所以是加强的.可以被认为是.assumption.

    我也同意d，把d取非，结论就不成立了
