费费逻辑宝典第14题请教：两个干扰项排除不了

If the government increases its funding for civilian scientific research, private patrons and industries will believe that such research has become primarily the government’s responsibility. When they believe that research is no longer primarily their responsibility, private patrons and industries will decrease their contributions toward research. Therefore, in order to keep from depressing the overall level of funding for civilian scientific research, the government should not increase its own funding.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies?

(A) Governments should bear the majority of the financial burden of funding for civilian scientific research.

(B) Any increase in government funding would displace more private funding for civilian scientific research than it would provide.

(C) Private donations toward research are no longer welcomed by researchers whose work receives government funding.

(D) Civilian scientific research cannot be conducted efficiently with more than one source of funding.

(E) funding for civilian scientific research is currently at the highest possible level.

答案是B，但为什么D和C不对呢？

C 选项大意，私人捐赠不再受欢迎。原文没有谈到是否欢迎问题。此选项为典型的无关选项，直接排除。

D 选项大意，Civilian 研究不能有效的进行，如果没有超过一个以上的资金来源。Civilian研究原文提到过，但是原文没有涉及任何研究的具体进行问题。只说资金来源，而D却直接说，能否有效进行研究，也属于无关选项。

嘿嘿, 昨天刚做过这题

If the government increases its funding for civilian scientific research, private patrons and industries will believe that such research has become primarily the government’s responsibility. When they believe that research is no longer primarily their responsibility, private patrons and industries will decrease their contributions toward research. Therefore, in order to keep from depressing the overall level of funding for civilian scientific research, the government should not increase its own funding.

搞清楚原文的目的: in order to keep from depressing the overall level of funding for civilian scientific research

措施:the government should not increase its own funding.

问的是assumption , 注意assumption一定要在原文的范围之内

(C) Private donations toward research are no longer welcomed by researchers whose work receives government funding.

原文没有讨论Private donations / government funding受欢迎程度

(D) Civilian scientific research cannot be conducted efficiently with more than one source of funding.

同C, 原文没有讨论研究的efficient与否

搭桥: 有了government funding -->取代more private funding 也就是说 government funding 的钱还不如private funding 的减少来的多, 这样就 得出结论了 the overall level of funding for civilian scientific research 会减少, 所以也就是作者的结论
