[face=Georgia]4. The theory of military deterrence was based on a simple psychological truth, that fear of retaliation makes a would be a aggressor nation hesitate before attacking and is often sufficient to deter it altogether from attacking. Clearly, then to maintain military deterrence, a nation would have to believed to have retaliatory power so great that a potential aggressor nation would have reason to think that it could not defend itself against such retaliation.

If the statements above are true, which one of the following can be properly inferred?

(A) A would-be aggressor nation can be deterred from attacking only if it has certain knowledge that it would be destroyed in retaliation by the country it attacks.

(B) A nation will not attack another nation if it believes that its own retaliatory power surpasses that of the other nation.

(C) One nation's failing to attack another establishes that the nation that fails to attack believes that it could not withstand a retaliatory attack from the other nation.

(D) It is in the interests of a nation that seeks deterrence and has unsurpassed military power to let potential aggressors against it become aware of its power of retaliatory attack.

(E) Maintaining maximum deterrence from aggression by other nations requires that a nation maintain a retaliatory force greater than that of any other nation.

这个题目大家是如何思考的?当我读完题目的时候,原文读懂了;选项也读懂了,但是不知道如何去选择答案.这个题目的答案是D,我当时选的是A.

Computer operating system software has become increasingly standardized. But when a large business with multiple, linked computer systems uses identical operating system software on all of its computers, a computer vandal who gains access to one computer automatically has access to the data on all the computers. Using a program known as a "virus" the vandal can then destroy much of the data on all the computers. If such a business introduced minor variations into its operating system software, unauthorized access to all the computers at the same time could be virtually eliminated. Furthermore variations in operating system software can be created without any lose of computer compatibility to the business. Therefore, it is advisable for businesses to implement such variations.

15. Which one of the following, if true , supports the conclusion in the passage?

(A) Standardization of computer operating system software has increased computer compatibility among different businesses.

(B) Correcting any damage resulting from an invasion by a computer virus program is more expensive than preventing the damage

(C) It is not costly for a business to maintain incompatible computer operating systems.

(D) There are other kinds of destructive computer programs that do not depend on inter computer links.

(E) Not all businesses need to share date among their internal computer systems.

我觉得B是一个无关的答案,我选的是A.

20. Most people in the United States view neither big nor small business as particularly efficient or dynamic and regard both as providing consumers with fairly priced goods and services. However, most people consistently perceive small business as a force for good in society whereas big business is perceived as socially responsible only in times of prosperity.

The statements above, if true would provide the strongest support for which one of the following hypotheses?

(A) Most people in the United States give little thought to the value of business to society.

(B) If big business were more efficient, it would be perceived more favorably by the public generally.

(C) If small business were regarded as being more dynamic, it too, would receive strongly favorable ratings only in times of general prosperity.

(D) Even if people did not regard big business as providing consumers with value for their money, they would still regard it as socially responsible in times of general prosperity.

(E) Many people in the United States regard the social responsibility of big business as extending beyond providing consumers with fairly priced goods and services.

这个题目原文读的比较晕,答案是E是如何从原文中推出来的呢?[/face]

第一次做对了，但考虑的不一定成熟，试着解释一下：
1、A中的only if从原文不能推出，B的内容正相反，从原文不能推出“不能承受反击”是不攻击其他国家的唯一理由，所以C错误，从原文不能推出必须“greater than any other...”D不正确，我当时读了“to maintain ...”就觉得“it is in the interest of...”是正确的，并且后面内容也和原文相符；
2、B是排除了一个alternative,原文中有unauthorized access... be eliminated,这样就防止病毒的侵入，B的表述说明correcting the damage...is more expensive,因而不能采用correcting,而应采用preventing,在没有更好的选项的情况下，是正确答案，A的内容不是main point，而且提干已经说明不会影响兼容性;
3、主要是从big business is perceived as socially responsible推出的，大意是说大企业被看作是有社会责任的，我也是从一种模糊感觉中选择的，不太好翻译成中文。

谢谢！

似乎原文也只有to maintain能和it is in the interest of搭边，但是这二者之间有什么必然的隐含联系么? 如何从to maintain就能推断出interest of a country不是新概念呢？我觉得，这里面一定有某种道理，使得interest of a country没有变成原文没有提到的新概念。那是什么呢？

谢谢！

没有想到更好的办法，可以通过对题干全文的理解：保持一种震慑力量使他国不敢攻击当然是符合国家的利益了，这样想没有加入题干所给信息以外的东西吧？

第三个题目那位朋友给解释一下，读的太晕了。谢谢！

试着对第三题说两句：原文的意思是“大部分人认为无论大企业还是小企业都不是特别有效率或灵活的，但都提供了价格合理的产品。但是大部分人一直认为小企业是一种良好的动力而大企业只是在繁荣时才有社会责任感。”abc的错误是明显的，只说D AND E。D的说法，文章是没有提供支持的，文中当然没有说合理的产品价格和人们对小企业的好看法有什么关系，但绝对没说无关，所以D的结论得不出。E的意思是社会责任是超过提供合理定价的产品的。对呀，人们认为大企业一直是可以提供合理定价的产品，但只在繁荣时才有责任感，可见责任感不仅仅是价钱合理的产品。

我的理解：
原文的主要矛盾是：计算机系统多样化对系统安全性的好处。。
为了SUPPORT这个观点，作者进行了如下ARGUMENT：
先阐述了计算机不多样化的缺点。。。然后阐述多样化对系统的好处。。FURTHERMORE，这样多样化后不会对兼容性有影响（注意，FURTHERMORE后的内容是ARGUMENT中典型排除其他比较因素的手法，言下之意，这里比较只比较安全性，兼容已经不在考虑范围内了。。。因为多样化后兼容性没影响嘛）

AC选项其实是无关的。。因为它又扯到了原文暗示已经不在讨论范围内的话题。。。

B是从成本的因素支持方案的可行性。。。我们还可以从人力，技术可行性等方面支持。。只要对结论起到支持作用。。如果原文又有暗示：维护成本和维修成本一样，则B也就变为无关了。。

这道题目我的个人理解：
A little错
B 无关比较
C 原文没提到的信息: more dymatic, ........及后半段
D value of money,原文没提到的信息
E 名词信息都是原文提到的。。只有一个动词信息：extend beyond原文没提到。。可是该动词信息可以从原文的ARGUE过程理解到：
小企业和企业都能提供 fairly priced goods and services(这句话提到的是两企业具体能提供的东西)
很多人认为小企业是一种force for good in society 而大企业 is perceived as socially responsible only in times of prosperity(一个是一种FORCE，一个是一种RESPONSIBLE。提到的都是总体抽象的DUTY或者ROLE）不难看出这两样都是总体性的东西，当然ROLE和RESPONSIBLE这两种ROLE都包括了前面提到的具体的fairly priced goods and services。。所以EXPEND BEYOND是在对原文的理解上得出的。。
