标题: 大全C-11，

前两天做到一题大全的题目觉得答案不对，看了很多讨论贴后还是觉得不对！特地拿出来讨论！

Questions 10-11 are based on the following.

From time to time, the press indulges in outbursts of indignation over the use of false or misleading information by the U.S. government in support of its policies and programs. No one endorses needless deception. But consider this historical analogy. It is known that Christopher Columbus, on his first voyage to the New World, deliberately falsified the log to show a shorter sailing distance for each day out than the ships had actually traveled. In this way, Columbus was able to convince his skeptical sailors that they had not sailed past the point at which they expected to find the shores of India. Without this deception, Columbus’s sailors might well have mutinied, and the New World might never have been discovered.

原文说媒体沉溺于披露政府的用假的消息来支持他的政治项目。但是没有人能够接收纯粹为了欺骗的欺骗。（这个的题外话就是人们能够接收有必要的欺骗）。但是考虑到历史的相似性。（哥伦布怎么样骗他的船员，最后到达美洲）。如果没有欺骗哥伦布就不会发现美洲。

11. Which of the following is the main weakness of the historical analogy drawn in the passage above?

(A) The sailors in Columbus’s crew never knew that they had been deceived, while government deception is generally uncovered by the press.有关

(B) A ship’s log is a record intended mainly for use by the captain, while press reports are generally disseminated for use by the public at large.沾点么有A好

(C) The members of a ship’s crew are selected by the captain of the ship, while those who work in the press are self-selected.无关

(D) The crew of a ship is responsible for the success of a voyage, while the press is not responsible for the use others make of the factual information it publishes.无关（E）

(E) In a democracy, the people are expected to participate in the nation’s political decision making, while the members of a ship’s crew are expected simply to obey the orders of the captain.没有A好

答案是E，但是看后还是觉得Ａ选项比Ｅ好

最后还是觉得A比E好。

首先原文是这样类比的：政府欺骗人们和哥伦布欺骗船员是一样的。

所以政府和哥伦布类比，人们和船员类比。

A说船员不知道他们被欺骗，但是现在的人们知道政府的欺骗。有关

B说船上的日记主要是船长用，然而媒体报告被散发给公众。（这个无关。）

C说船员是船长挑选出来的，而那些在媒体工作的人是自己选出来的。（这个典型无关）

D说船长对航行是否成功有责任，但是媒体没有责任对于使用错误信息（无关）

E说在民主国家，人们被预期参与国家的政治决策，但是船员只是简单的服从船长的命令。（这个明显没有A直接！因为首先people没有Ａ选项中后半部分限定明确，其次In a democracy,也不好，原文没有限定在什么制度下。最后原文的类比就是因为不知道所以可以欺骗，而这个选项说参与不参与，从参与不参与推到知不知道还有很长的路。综上，很明显就是没有A直接。）

欢迎大家拍砖～～～！！谢谢
