17. Being articulate has been equated with having a large vocabulary. Actually, however, people with large vocabularies have no incentive for, and tend not to engage in, the kind of creative linguistic self-expression that is required when no available words seem adequate. Thus a large vocabulary is a hindrance to using language in a truly articulate way.
Which one of the following is an assumption made in the argument?
(A) When people are truly articulate, they have the capacity to express themselves in situations in which their vocabularies seem inadequate. (B) People who are able to express themselves creatively in new situations have little incentive to acquire large vocabularies. (C) The most articulate people are people who have large vocabularies but also are able to express themselves creatively when the situation demands it. (D) In educating people’ to be more articulate, it would be futile to try to increase the size of their vocabularies. (E) In unfamiliar situations, even people with large Vocabularies often do not have specifically suitable words available.
口才好一般也具备大词汇量。但是实际上，有了大的词汇量的人往往缺乏一种口才训练（这种训练是在词汇不足的时候能够解释清楚东西的训练）的incentive。就好比GRE单词背完了，解释怪兽形状的水龙头可以用一个单词，不用训练怎么解释这个单词，所以这种当词汇缺乏时候的口才训练就不够了。因此结论是大词汇量是using language in a truly articulate way的障碍。
答案为A，请教NN，实在想不通A为什么对，A取非不能削弱吧？我选了B，现在我觉得B错了可能是他重复了原文，但是A为什么对了呢？以及B还有什么错误的原因？请NN不吝赐教。感谢。
25. Situation: In the island nation of Bezun, the government taxes gasoline heavily in order to induce people not to drive. It uses the revenue from the gasoline tax to subsidize electricity in order to reduce prices charged for electricity. Analysis: The greater the success achieved in meeting the first of these objectives, the less will be the success achieved in meeting the second.
The analysis provided for the situation above would be most appropriate in which one of the following situations? (A) A library charges a late fee in order to induce borrowers to return books promptly. The library uses revenue from the late fee to send reminders to tardy borrowers in order to reduce the incidence of overdue books. (B) A mail-order store imposes a stiff surcharge for overnight delivery in order to limit use of this option. The store uses revenue from the surcharge to pay the extra expenses it incurs for providing the overnight delivery service. (C) The park management charges an admission fee so that a park’s users will contribute to the park’s upkeep. In order to keep admission fees low, the management does mot finance any new projects from them. (D) A restaurant adds a service charge in order to spare customers the trouble of individual tips. The service charge is then shared among the restaurant’s workers in order to augment their low hourly wages. (E) The highway administration charges a toll for crossing a bridge in order to get motorists to use other routes. It uses the revenue from that toll to generate a reserve fund in order to be able one day to build a new bridge.
答案为E，我没有意见，请问A哪里错了。
