标题: 请教一道LR, 谢谢
Editorial: a recently passed law limits freedom of speech in order to silence dissenters. It has been said that those who are ignorant of history will repeat its patterns. If this is true, then those responsible for passing the law must be ignorant of a great deal of history. Historically, silencing dissenters has tended to promote undemocratic policies and the establishment of authoritarian.

The editorialist's reasoning is flawed in that it fails to take into account that

A the law may have other purposes in addition to silencing dissenters

B certain freedoms might sometimes need to be limited in order to ensure the protection of certain other freedoms

C some historical accounts report that legal restrictions on freedom of speech have occassionally undermined the establishment of authoritarian regimes

D many good laws have been passed by people who are largely ignorant of history

E even those who are not ignorant of history many repeat its patterns

这道题答案选E。 读得不是很懂,不太明白为什么选C。 哪位大牛帮我解释一下啊?谢谢

翻译:
editorialist说:最近一项被通过旨在压制反对者的法律,限制了言论自由。而忽视历史将重蹈覆辙(历史重演)。如果这是事实,那么对通过这项法律负责的人,必定忽略了许多历史。历史上看,压制反对者目的在于增进非民主政策和树立权威(独裁)。

本文的flaw在于assumption的片面,即“忽视历史将重蹈覆辙”,是不严谨的,指出这一点,将导致editorialist的逻辑断链,而不必然推出接下来的事实。

(本题涉及美国文化背景,楼主可能不是很适应这种美式文化氛围吧)

其他几个选项很容易就可以排除。
至于楼主选C,“一些历史报告显示,对言论自由的限制,并未支撑the establishment of authoritarian regimes”,这是对文中reasoning的削弱,但没有指出整体逻辑推理的flaw。
Historically后是举例,可以是N个例子,楼主只要考察前面主体部分的推理过程,不必纠缠具体的例子。
