GWD-10-17，为什么不是E

Q17:
Editorial:
An arrest made by a Midville police officer is provisional until the officer has taken the suspect to the police station and the watch commander has officially approved the arrest. Such approval is denied if the commander judges that the evidence on which the provisional arrest is based is insufficient. A government efficiency expert has found that almost all provisional arrests meet standards for adequacy of evidence that watch commanders enforce. The expert therefore recommends that the watch commander’s approval should no longer be required since the officers’ time spent obtaining approval is largely wasted. This recommendation should be rejected as dangerous, however, since there is no assurance that the watch commanders’ standards will continue to be observed once approval is no longer required.

In the editorial, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

A. The first is a recommendation made by the editorial; the second acknowledges a potential objection against that recommendation.

B. The first is a proposal against which the editorial is directed; the second is a
judgment reached by the editorial concerning that proposal.

C. The first provides evidence in support of a recommendation that the editorial
supports; the second is the conclusion reached by the editorial.

D. The first is a position that the editorial challenges; the second is a judgment that was made in support of that challenged position.

E. The first is a recommendation that the editorial questions; the second provides evidence against that recommendation.

Answer: B

但我认为是E。请教。

Hi， tony, where is the bold face?

请教这题D错在哪里，我觉得D没有错啊

--------------------------------------------------------

我明白了，太粗心了，没有读仔细题

我本来也选D 但想一想 我觉得相对于D ， B的proposal 比较合适

而This recommendation should be rejected as dangerous这句话单纯只是个judgement

in support of that challenged position的是后面这句话since there is no assurance that the watch commanders’ standards will continue to be observed once approval is no longer required

B. The first is a proposal against which the editorial is directed; the second is a
judgment reached by the editorial concerning that proposal.

请问这句话是什么意思？

The first is a proposal which the editorial is directed against.

第一个是社论反对的一个提议；

the second is a
judgment reached by the editorial concerning that proposal.

第二个是社论基于那个提议而提出的判断

每次读到ethyl 的看法我就觉得时间紧张就暂时不用再读后面的帖子了，呵呵。。。

个人看法：BD题考的就是：

论点、论据 和双方态度（同意、反对） 之间的关系描述；
