Criticism that the press panders to public sentiment neglects to consider that the press is a profit-making institution. Like other private enterprises, it has to make money to survive. If press were not profit-making, who would support it? The only alternative is subsidy and, with it, outside control. It is easy to get subsidies for propaganda, but no one will subsidize honest journalism.
It can be properly inferred from the passage that if the pres is
(A)not subsidize, it is in no danger of outside control
(B)not subsidized, it will not produce propaganda
(C)not to be subsidized, it cannot be a profit-making institution
(D)to produce honest journalism, it must be profit-making institution
(E)to make a profit, it must produce honest journalism
没有搞懂这提的推理过程？

2． Politician: From the time our party took office almost four years ago the number of people unemployed city-wide increased by less than 20 percent. The opposition party controlled city government during the four preceding years, and the number of unemployed city residents rose by over 20 percent. Thus, due to our leadership, fewer people now find themselves among the ranks of the unemployed, whatever the opposition may claim.
The reasoning in the politician’s argument is most vulnerable to the criticism that
(A) the claims made by the opposition are simply dismissed without being specified
(B) no evidence has been offered to show that any decline in unemployment over the past four years was uniform throughout all areas of the city
(C) the issue of how much unemployment in the city is affected by seasonal fluctuations is ignored
(D) the evidence cited in support of the conclusion actually provides more support for the denial of the conclusion
(E) the possibility has not been addressed that any increase in the number of people employed is due to programs supported by the opposition party.
答案是D，为什么不是C

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
这里是一个两层推导：
1、If not profit-making => Have to be subsidized (to survie)
2、If honest journalism => No way to be subsidized

第二个命题与第一个推论的逆反命题相结合即推出答案。（D）
