标题: XDF讲义题目，想不通呀想不通。。。 [打印本页] 作者: jeans2011 时间: 2011-9-10 07:27 标题: XDF讲义题目，想不通呀想不通。。。 15.(Z)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.
为什么选B呢，B不是削弱了么。。。 作者: cdwayne 时间: 2011-9-10 08:42
我也覺得(B)是削弱作者: jeans2011 时间: 2011-9-10 08:46
是吧是吧。。。可是哪个选项都不太合适啊。。。。作者: cdwayne 时间: 2011-9-10 09:32
其他不適合無誤，應該(B)印刷錯誤，not去掉即是假設作者: jeans2011 时间: 2011-9-10 09:54
但是题目里说了所有canceled projects are wasteful and 90% of them were in opposition parties' districts, 如果not去掉不就和题目矛盾了么？纠结啊。。我估计是题目有问题。。。恩。。。作者: aaabbcca 时间: 2011-9-10 10:56
这道题选B没错， B:报告中被认定是wasteful的projects不全在总统党控制范围之内 E:被无党派审计师审计的报告不通常被反对党认定为一种客观的评估 如果吧B取非，that is, 被认定是wasteful的projects都在总统党控制范围内，言外之意，根本上否定了审计师的报告，weaken 如果把E取非，that is, 审计报告被反对党认为是客观的，言外之意，反对党信任这个报告，support.作者: aaabbcca 时间: 2011-9-10 11:03
Necessary assumption. Use negation.
If you negate B, you have "The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party." If this is true, and since we know that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in legislative districts controlled by opposition party, then we have a problem - clearly politics is involved in the cancellation.
答案应该是B。 把B取非，得到 The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party，削弱 vindictive desire to punish legislative districts.
scheduled 理解为安排的，日程上的。所以这些项目不是安排拆，而是已经在日程上的没有被取消的项目。也就是说日程上的项目也有被鉴定为没用的项目，也就是说漏网之鱼。如果漏网之鱼大多在总体辖区内，就说明有猫腻。如果不在，那就说明总统不是党派偏见。 The situation is as follows:
Wasteful projects are 1)canceled 2)scheduled (to build, i.e. not canceled)
From the question, we know that most wasteful projects in opposition parties' districts are canceled, whereas (if run the negation test for option B) most wasteful projects in the president's districts are scheduled (to build)
it is obvious that president is favoring his district's highway projects.作者: aaabbcca 时间: 2011-9-10 11:09
比例的问题.
90%反对党的计划被取消.
但是,所有取消的计划都是无党派的审计认为是浪费的.
结论:总统是根据预算判断而不是报复.
B中说多数浪费的计划并不是在总统的district内的.
取非的话,多数浪费的计划在总统的district内.说明了数据的不准确性..结论不能成立.
B is talking about a situation that makes the conclusion a right way.
since B is correct, the conclusion could be made at such way.If the [scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.] is true ,then president cancel the projects not because he want to punish sb but because that was necessary.Then the conlusion was made smoothly for sure.
B只是重复了题目中这句话的意思They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts. （disctricts controlled by opposition parties）
