标题: GWD17-Q9~求解，NN们，来帮帮我吧~ [打印本页] 作者: evelyn205205 时间: 2011-7-30 21:32 标题: GWD17-Q9~求解，NN们，来帮帮我吧~ Press Secretary:Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors.So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?
A. Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties. B. The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party. C. The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future. D. The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties. E. Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.
答案是B。我不是很理解，觉得答案是E吧。试想：将E取非，没有了not，那么报告就是被对方党派认为是不客观的评价，那么不就削弱了原文关于总统公正的立场嘛~ open to discussion~作者: kevingod 时间: 2011-7-30 23:14
对E选项取非，即去掉not,变为认为是客观评价，属于加强 B选项取非，即大部分被认为wasteful的项目都来自president，而政府cancle掉的90%的wasteful 的项目却来自opposition parties，这就与政府所说的“the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy”相违背，因而取非构成削弱。作者: evelyn205205 时间: 2011-7-31 09:36
