Politicaladvocacy groups have begun to use information services to disseminateinformation that is then accessed by the public via personal computer. Since many groups are thus able to bypasstraditional news sources, whose reporting is selective, and to present theirpolitical views directly to the public, information services present a morebalanced picture of the complexities of political issues than any traditionalnews source presents. Whichof the following is an assumption on which the argument above depends? A.Information services are accessible to enough people to ensure that politicaladvocacy groups can use these services to reach as large a percentage of thepublic as they could through traditional news sources. B.People could get a thorough understanding of a particular political issue bysorting through information provided by several traditional news sources, eachwith differing editorial biases. C.Information on political issues disseminated through information services doesnot come almost entirely from advocacy groups that share a single bias. D.Traditional news sources seldom report the views of political advocacy groupsaccurately. E.Most people who get information on political issues from newspapers and othertraditional news sources can readily identify the editorial biases of thosesources.
我选的A，我觉得这个前提也挺对的阿，如果information service不能有广大的客户群的话，Political advocacy groups就不会选用这种方法啦！！！！！！作者: xiaomimi 时间: 2010-8-2 08:29
I also go with A, what is the answer then? 我做了我的prep， 只有两套题目。怎样可以多几套啊？作者: 2008115061 时间: 2010-8-3 00:07
这篇argument关注的是这样的agency能否做到使report更balance, 而不是用不用这种方法。因此观众人数的多少，乃至观众能否理解，都irrelevant, 这样排除A B E
作者认为：Politica ladvocacy groups 用agency发表，可以直接传达政治观-----》信息会更balance，assumption就是这些信息本身不是bias的
