8. A translation invariably reflects the writing style of the translator. Sometimes when a long document needs to be translated quickly, several translators are put to work on the job, each assigned to translate part of the document. In these cases, the result is usually a translation marked by different and often incompatible writing styles. Certain computer programs for language translation that work without the intervention of human translation can finish the job faster than human translators and produce a stylistically uniform translation with an 80 percent accuracy rate. Therefore, when a long document needs to be translated quickly, it is better to use a computer translation program than human translators.
Which one of the following issues would be LEAST important to resolve in evaluating the argument?
(A) whether the problem of stylistic variety in human translation could be solved by giving stylistic guidelines to human translators
(B) whether numerical comparisons of the accuracy of translations can reasonably be made
(C) whether computer translation programs, like human translators, each have their own distinct writing style
(D) whether the computer translation contains errors of grammar and usage that drastically alter the meaning of the text
(E) how the accuracy rate of computer translation programs compares with that of human translators in relation to the users’ needs
答案给的是C 我一开始错选的B
后来想想选C的确有道理，因为题干已经说是用一个program来进行翻译从而提高翻译的速度，这就不涉及多个programs之间风格差异的问题了（题目还是挺阴险的啊） 我的理解是不是正确的呢？
另外不选B是不是因为对验证computer program翻译的准确性还是需要numerical comparisons的呢？所以B在评估这个问题时还是有价值的 这点理解还不是很透彻
23. Farm animals have certain behavioral tendencies that result from the evolutionary history of these species. By imposing on these animals a type of organization that conflicts with their behavioral tendencies, current farm-management practices cause the animals more pain and distress than do practices that more closely conform to the animals’ behavioral tendencies. Because the animals tend to resist this type of organization, current practices can also be less efficient than those other farm-management practices.
If the statements above are true, which one of the following can be properly inferred from them?
(A) Some of the behavioral tendencies of farm animals can be altered by efficient farm-management practices.
(B) In order to implement efficient farm-management practices, it is necessary to be familiar with the evolutionary history of farm animals.
(C) In order to create farm-management practices that cause less pain and distress to farm animals, a significant loss of efficiency will be required.
(D) Farm-management practices that cause the least amount pf pain and distress to farm animals are also the most efficient management practices.
(E) Some changes in farm-management practices that lessen the pain and distress experienced by farm animals can result in gains in efficiency.
答案是E 也是排除法选的E 其他确实不靠谱
但总觉得E的逻辑结构推理也不是那么完美
题干说了：“现代农场管理措施比那些更加遵循动物自身行为倾向的管理措施更容易导致动物有更多的痛苦。”同时“因为这些动物容易抵触这种组织形式，现代措施比那些其他的农场管理措施效率要低。” 我觉得似乎再加一个条件“因为动物痛苦多，所以动物更容易抵触” 虽然这是大白话，但总觉得还是必要的..... 牛牛帮我梳理一下吧
