12. The upcoming presidential election in the West African republic of Ganelon is of grave concern to the U.S. State Department. Ganelon presently has strong political and military ties to the United States. However, the Socialist party is widely expected to win the election, leading to fears that Ganelon will soon break away from the pro-American bloc and adopt a nonaligned or openly anti-American stance.
Which of the following is an assumption made in the passage above?
(A) A Socialist party government in Ganelon is more likely to oppose the United States than is a non-Socialist party government.
(B) The people of the United States recognize their nation’s interest in the political stability of West Africa.
(C) A weakening of U.S. political ties with Ganelon could have serious consequences for U.S. relations with other African nations.
(D) The Socialist party leaders in Ganelon believe that their nation’s interests would best be served by an alliance with anti-American forces.
(E) The Socialist party will win the upcoming election in Ganelon.
答案是A。为什么不是D呢？A中non-Socialist party government没有出现啊？所以比较应该是不正确的吧？ D中如果加入not ，则为The Socialist party leaders 认为an alliance with anti-American forces对国家不好，那么不是使上面短文不成立吗？

20. Which of the following best completes the passage below?
In today’s pluralistic society, textbook publishers find themselves in an increasingly uncomfortable position. Since the schools are regarded as a repository of society’s moral and cultural values, each group within society wishes to prevent any material that offends its own values from appearing in textbooks. As a result, stance on an issue is certain to run afoul of one group or another. And since textbook publishers must rely on community goodwill to sell their books, it is inevitable that______
(A) fewer and fewer publishers will be willing to enter the financially uncertain textbook industry
(B) the ethical and moral content of textbooks will become increasingly neutral and bland
(C) more and more pressure groups will arise that seek to influence the content of textbooks
(D) the government will be forced to intervene in the increasingly rancorous debate over the content of textbooks
(E) school boards, teachers, and principals will find it nearly impossible to choose among the variety of textbooks being offered
答案是B。为什么A不对呢？上面提到：textbook publishers in an increasingly uncomfortable position ，后面做解释。然后As a result，since textbook publishers must rely on community goodwill to sell their books，那么A为什么不能从文中推出来呢？

1，the socialitist party 要上台，美国害怕了
美国怕adopt a nonaligned or openly anti-American stance
所以逻辑关系就是the socialitist party和anti-American stance必须同时出现于假设里面
至于d可以举一个反例
The Socialist party leaders 可以认为 would best be served by an alliance with anti-American forces.，但原文中说的这个政党上台，和这个领导人并无直接的关系，他可能只是个傀儡呢，呵呵，专门说反话给人骂的。

第二题，因为这个出版业越来越increasingly uncomfortable并不能导致人们就不进来了啊，考G越来越难，可还是有越来越多的人来考嘛
b中所说的就是指出版商越来越会懂得作和事老了，这样谁都不得罪，书不就是好卖了吗，呵呵，真是很狡诈。

以下是引用番茄炒蛋在2003-12-2 21:34:00的发言：

但是12题里的A也有问题呀。美国是担心G会脱离美国，采取不与美国结盟或者参加反对美国的同盟。这里有两个可能：1）不与美国结盟 or 2）反对美国.

A是说：S比NS更加可能反对美国。

我觉得拿这个做assumption不对。assumption应该是能够包含1)+2)的，而A只能包括2,不能包括1。正确的assumption应该是：S比NS更可能不亲近美国。

仔细想了想，a nonaligned or openly anti-American stance意思是，一个不结盟的或者公开的反美状态。都是修饰anti-American的，因为前面用的是一个a。唉，太搞了。那A是正确的。

12题,DK肯定不对啊，因为说相信国家利益会best be served by an alliance with anti-American forces,不能说明The Socialist party 就肯定会因此而反美啊，有可能The Socialist party 因为其他原因不得不不亲近美国呢？

而A则直接给除了The Socialist party 是反美的

20题，是since textbook publishers must rely on community goodwill to sell their books的结果

做错了，这道。我选了E。E为什么不行？不明白A是答案。G是否反对S，G还是会害怕.....

所以怎么是assupmtion？

逻辑不好，请指教

v22 · 发表于 2005-8-21 22:32:00

12题，是不是因为Socialist party 会赢， Ganelon 因害怕而开始 adopt a nonaligned or openly anti-American stance. 开始反美。这样Socialist party很可能就是反美的。所以A对？

这个是这样想么？好象是哦哦哦？

tobytao · 发表于 2005-10-24 14:30:00

本题我一开始也做错了，选了D。不过现在看来，答案A是有道理的：

A关键在于more likely用得很严密；

D错在后半部份，该国也可能直接是一个anti-America force而不仅仅是alliance with anti-America force.该选项逻辑上不够严密。
