Whenever a major political scandal erupts before an election and voters blame the scandal on all parties about equally, virtually all incumbents, from whatever party, seeking reelection are returned to office. However, when voters blame such a scandal on only one party, incumbents from that party are likely to be defeated by challengers from other parties. The proportion of incumbents who seek reelection is high and remarkably constant from election to election.
If the voters' reactions are guided by a principle, which one of the following principles would best account for the contrast in reactions described above?
(A) Whenever one incumbent is responsible for one major political scandal and another incumbent is responsible for another, the consequences for the two incumbents should be the same.
(B) When a major political scandal is blamed on incumbents from all parties, that judgment is more accurate than any judgment that incumbents from only on party are to blame.
(C) Incumbents who are rightly blamed for a major political scandal should not seek reelection, but if they do, they should not be returned to office.
(D) Major political scandals can practically always be blamed on incumbents, but whether those incumbents should be voted out of office depends on who their challengers are.
(E) When major political scandals are less the responsibility of individual incumbents than of the parties to which they belong, whatever party was responsible must be penalized when possible.
答案是E， 为什么呀？ D为什么不对？
24. Certain minor peculiarities of language are used unconsciously by poets. If such peculiarities appear in the works of more than one poet, they are likely to reflect the language in common use during the poets' time. However, if they appear in the work of only one poet, they are likely to be personal idiosyncrasies. As such, they can provide a kind of "fingerprint" that allows scholars, by comparing a poem of previously unknown authorship to the work of a particular known poet, to identify the poem as the work of that poet.
For which on of the following reasons can the test described above never provide conclusive proof of the authorship of any poem?
(A) The labor of analyzing peculiarities of language both in the work of a known poet and in a poem of unknown authorship would not be undertaken unless other evidence already suggested that the poem of unknown authorship was written by the known poet.
(B) A peculiarity of language that might be used as an identifying mark is likely to be widely scattered in the work of a poet, so that a single poem not known to have been written by that poet might not include that peculiarity.
(C) A peculiarity of language in a poem of unknown authorship could be evidence either that the poem was written by the one author known to use that peculiarity or that the peculiarity was not unique to that author.
(D) Minor peculiarities of language contribute far less to the literary effect of any poem than such factors as poetic form, subject matter, and deliberately chosen wording.
(E) A poet's use of some peculiarities of language might have been unconscious in some poems and conscious in other poems, and the two uses would be indistinguishable to scholars at a later date.

D) Major political scandals can practically always be blamed on incumbents, but whether those incumbents should be voted out of office depends on who their challengers are. 文中并没有提及是否竞选上是对手的原因，所以D不对。作者: 深海的小美人鱼 时间: 2003-11-25 23:31
24的大意是说诗人一般在作品中显露出自己的特性，从而可以让人辨别。如果一首以上的诗里有这个特性，那么这种特性一般是当时的大众语言特性。但是如果只有一首诗有这个特性那么这是个人的语言特性。因此这种特性象指纹一样可以让学者辨认一个不知道作者是谁的诗歌是不是某个有名的诗人的作品。
问题问下面哪个无法让上文中提及方法判断诗歌的作者是谁。 A peculiarity of language in a poem of unknown authorship could be evidence either that the poem was written by the one author known to use that peculiarity or that the peculiarity was not unique to that author. 就是说当一首没有确定作者的诗的特性要么是这个作者一向喜欢用的风格（容易是大众风格〕，或者不是作者显著的风格时候就无法判断。作者: ygjm 时间: 2003-11-27 00:47
不好意思， 解释没看懂！ 不过， 我的解释是， 题干倒出结论-"可以用poem里的peculiarity来判断是否此poem属于某poet的作品“， 而C的叙述是”什么样的peculiarty可以作为evidence呐？，两种情况， 1， 这个pecularity是出现在已知作家的poem里， 而且（我们已经知道），这个作家对这种pecularity的片好； 2， 这个pecularity不为这个作家所特有， （即，可能共性的）。所以， 由于pecularity的唯一性不确定， 仅仅由pecularity是不能判断poem的归属性。 这样的解释是否真确？ 大家讨论一下八？作者: 番茄炒蛋 时间: 2003-11-27 01:20
举个例子你就知道了 某作家喜欢用MM代表小鱼，ok，这就是这个作家得风格了，但你能保证以后所有看到得MM就一定是代表小鱼吗，而且有了MM这两个字就一定是这个作家写得吗？ 有两种可能，一是这个就是这个作家得finger print，这个MM得用法归他专用 但还有一种可能，就是我在某篇文章里也是写了MM就是小鱼，你能说我写得文章就是那个作家写得吗 所以 could be evidence either that －－or that作者: 深海的小美人鱼 时间: 2003-11-27 02:25
