[讨论]大全A-12（自己有思路了）

12.   Are you still reading the other newspaper in town? Did you know that the Daily Bugle is owned by an out-of-town business syndicate that couldn’t care less about the people of Gotham
     City? Read the Daily Clarion, the only real voice of the people of Gotham
     City!

Which of the following most directly refutes the argument raised in the advertisement above?

(A) Over half of the advertising revenues of the Daily Clarion come from firms whose headquarters are located outside of Gotham
     City.

(B) The Daily Clarion usually devotes more of its pages to out-of-town news than does the Daily Bugle.

(C) Nearly 40 percent of the readers of the Daily Clarion reside outside the limits of Gotham
     City.

(D) The editor-in-chief and all the other members of the editorial staff of the Daily Bugle have lived and worked in Gotham
      City for ten years or more.（D）

(E) The Daily Bugle has been published in Gotham
     City for a longer time than has the Daily Clarion.

couldn’t care less about 是关注还是不关注？怎么翻译啊？字面上理解是关注，但题意应该是不关注吧。

我选了B，为什么错？谢谢

谢谢，有思路了：

正确答案是 D：Daily Bugle
            的所有编辑和其他员工已经在Gotham居住了十年以上

我选择的B:Daily Clarion 和Daily Bugle 相比，在通常情况下，把更多的版面留给外县的新闻

虽然两个答案都对“Daily Clarion , the only real voice of the people of Gotham”进行削弱，但是most directly 的只能是D

一是因为D中表述为所有员工，而B中只是在通常情况下，D更有说服力；二是因为D通过所有员工已经在Gotham居住了十年以上直接推翻原文的假设“Daily Bugle 非常的不关心 Gotham”
