请教大全2-1

Below is an excerpt from a letter that was sent by the chairman of a corporation to the stockholders.

A number of charges have been raised against me, some serious, some trivial. Individuals seeking to control the corporation for their own purposes have demanded my resignation. Remember that no court of law in any state has found me guilty of any criminal offense whatsoever. In the American tradition, as you know, an individual is considered innocent until proven guilty. Furthermore, as the corporation’s unbroken six-year record of growth will show, my conduct of my official duties as chairman has only helped enhance the success of the corporation, and so benefited every stockholder.

Which of the following can be properly inferred from the excerpt?

(A) The chairman believes that all those who have demanded his resignation are motivated by desire to control the corporation for their own purposes.

(B) Any misdeeds that the chairman may have committed were motivated by his desire to enhance the success of the corporation.

(C) The chairman is innocent of any criminal offense.

(D) The corporation has expanded steadily over the past six years.（D）

               (E) Any legal proceedings against the chairman have resulted in his acquittal.

事后细读，发现除了D其它4个选项都用了绝对词汇，不过D感觉也不能完全推出，因为1）record不一定就是事实；2）steadily不能得到（难道是unbroken同意互换）。

反而C有点味道，文中说法院没有对任何（这里也有any）定罪，不定罪就是innocent，因此chairman innocent。或许有人会说，法院不定罪不表示客观上innocent，我认为是否innocent就是法院判决的结果，没有什么其它的客观标准。请教各位NN。

对于选项C，  is considered innocent until proven guilty 中的is considered与选项中的is innocent是两个概念,因此不能选

对于选项D，个人认为只是对文中的the corporation’s unbroken six-year record of growth 换了一种说法，其中的record就应该是事实的意思

我的问题是，问题问的是infer,而D只是对文章的restatement而已，选D是不是因为它只是5个里的最佳答案呢？

这个题目以前的讨论汇总里面有连结,可以查一下

1、确实是stedily与unbroken的同意互换

unbroken six-year record of growth ，说明这几年的增长没有被打破过，没有出现下降等很大的浮动

2、法院没有定罪，只能说他还没有在法律上guilty，不意味着他在事实上就是innocent，法官没有找到证据定罪，但事实上他可能是有罪的。

以上也是前辈们讨论的结果，我只是帮lz简单地说一下，具体还可以查找以前的链接，借花献佛了……

Inference的很多题目，不就是对原文的一种restatement吗？

个人意见……
