The Department of Homeland Security has proposed new federal requirements for driver’s licenses that would allow them to be used as part of a national identification system. Using licenses for purposes not directly related to operating a motor vehicle is un-American because it would require U.S. citizens to carry the equivalent of “papers.” Such a requirement would allow the government to restrict their movements and activities in the manner of totalitarian regimes. In time, this could make other limits on freedom acceptable. The author assumes which of the following? • The next presidential election will be dishonest, as has happened in eastern European countries. • The government will soon start curtailing the activities of those it considers “dissidents.” • Blanket restrictions on law-abiding individuals are contrary to the traditions of American culture and law. • The majority of Americans are not willing to give up their right to travel and move about without identification. • Americans should resist all government regulation of their lives.
想问下C选项的blanket restrictions是什么意思呢?为什么能得出country to the traditions of American culture and law的结论?
A recent article stated that only 5.5% of American colleges grant the majority of their degrees in the liberal arts. Citing this, a reader wrote to lament that this was further evidence of the decline of academic rigor in American post high school education. Which of the following is an assumption on the part of the reader? • The percentage of American colleges granting liberal arts degrees would continue to drop. • All colleges should grant the majority of their degrees in the liberal arts. • Most post-secondary scientific, engineering, and vocational training does not involve as much academic rigor as liberal arts training. • Academic rigor is the most important aspect of post high school education. • Of the colleges that do not grant the majority
为什么说只有5.5%的学校给这个degree说明academic rigor decline了呢?
If there are any inspired musical performances in the concert, the audience will be treated to a good show. But there will not be a good show unless there are sophisticated listeners in the audience, and to be a sophisticated listener one must understand one’s musical roots. If all of the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true? A. If there are no sophisticated listeners in the audience, then there will be no inspired musical performances in the concert. B. No people who understand their musical roots will be in the audience if the audience will not be treated to a good show. C. If there will be people in the audience who understand their musical roots, then at least one musical performance in the concert will be inspired. D. The audience will be treated to a good show unless there are people in the audience who do not understand their musical roots. E. If there are sophisticated listeners in the audience, then there will be inspired musical performances in the
concert. 我对题的理解是:如只要有inspired musical performance,那他就是good show。但并不是说没有inspired就不是good show了,也不是说如果不是good show一定没有inspired。 但如果没有sophisticated listener/understand Musial root 就不是good show 那为什么说 所以如果没有sophisticated只能说明他不是good show不能说明他没inspired啊?
