6. Which of the following best completes the passage
below?
“Government” does not exist as an independent entity
defining policy. Instead there exists a group of demo-
cratically elected pragmatists sensitive to the electorate,
who establish policies that will result in their own
reelection. Therefore, if public policy is hostile to, say,
environmental concerns, it is not because of govern-
mental perversity but because elected officials believe
that—
(A) environmentalists would be extremely difficult to
satisfy with any policy, however environmentally
sound
(B) environmental concerns are being accommodated
as well as public funds permit
(C) the public is overly anxious about environmental
deterioration
(D) the majority of voters vote for certain politicians
because of those politicians’ idiosyncratic posi-
tions on policy issues
(E) the majority of voters do not strongly wish for a
different policy
答案：E.我分不清楚D和E的区别。原文说官员们会制定那些有利于他们再被选举的政策，因此如果政策有敌意或者对某个问题不利，是因为官员。。。按着这个逻辑，应该是说因为这种有敌意的不利的政策有助于他们再被选举，是体现了voter的意愿的，D和E都提到了voter，D说voter偏好官员的个人立场，E说voter不喜欢不同的政策。D看上去好像有点偏了，但是E中的a different policy指的是什么呢？这样看来hostile policy就是not different policy了，为什么呢？请大师多多指教哦～
我觉得你解释得挺对的阿！哪里不明白？
D的意思是，大多数投票者之所以选某个官员，是因为这个官员在政策上问题具有独特的地位。（官员决定投票者选谁）
E的意思是，大多数投票者不喜欢not hostile to environmental concern的政策。（投票者的喜好决定官员）
原题的意思是“投票者占据主动，具有决定权”，所以不选D。
diffrent policy就是指与hostile to environmental concerns政策不同的政策
原来我还是有理解上的跑偏，这下明白了，谢谢指教～：）
