The recording industry is fighting a losing battle: it simply does not have
the resources to prosecute all of the individuals who illegally download
music from the Internet. Because the number of individuals who will be
charged with a crime is so limited, the actions of the recording industry
will have a minimal impact on the number of people who illegally download
music. The answer to which of the following questions would best help
evaluate the accuracy of the conclusion above?
• Will recording industry lawyers dedicate the majority of their time to
prosecuting those who illegally download music?
• Is a small minority of individuals responsible for the majority of illegal
song downloads?
• Do many individuals who illegally download songs share their music
files with other Internet users?
• Will new Internet security technology permit the recording industry
to more quickly and easily identify individuals
who illegally download music?
• Will the threat of prosecution alter the behavior of those who illegally
download music?
答案是E,我选的是B。
我想了想,觉得B不正确的原因应该是:即便是minority,也可以是一个唱片公司can't afford to prosecute的数字(原文:Because the number of individuals who will be charged with a crime is so limited),所以B的错因还是在“number”和“proportion”的问题上。
虽然这勉强算得上一个解释,但感觉还不是很充分,官方的解释就更不必提了,只是:
If a small minority of individuals were responsible for the majority of illegal
song downloads, the actions of the recording industry could have a significant
impact on the number of downloaded songs. The conclusion of the argument,
however, was about the number of people who download songs illegally; this
number would remain unaffected.
在我看来不怎么站得住脚,因为song受了影响,people不受一点影响是完全不可能的,
牛牛们如果有其他的解释,还请不吝赐教。
