大全 B-13，前人没有问过的题

No nation can long survive unless its people are united by a common tongue. For proof, we need only consider Canada, which is being torn asunder by conflicts between French-speaking Quebec and the other provinces, which are dominated by English speakers.

Which of the following, if true, most effectively challenges the author’s  conclusion? E C

(A) Conflicts over language have led to violent clashes between the Basque-speaking minority in Spain and the Spanish-speaking majority.（加强）

(B) Proposals to declare English the official language of the United States have met with resistance from members of Hispanic and other minority groups.（无关）

(C) Economic and political differences, along with linguistic ones, have contributed to the provincial conflicts in Canada.

(D) The public of India, in existence sine 1948, has a population that speaks hundreds of different, though related, languages.（E）

(E) Switzerland has survived for nearly a thousand years as a home for speakers of three different languages.

这题我选C，答案选E，我知道E的确削弱，好像比C好，可是为什么C不对呢？很想知道理由，这样下次不会犯同样的错误。谢谢各位。祝大家考G 成功！

就像Lz所说的，E比C好

你觉得文章的中心是说很多语言会不会造成国家分裂，还是说加拿大会不会因为法语和英语而分裂呢

加拿大只是文章为了论证中心而取的一个例子而已

谢谢楼上的美眉。 我的思路是

作者结论： No nation can long survive unless its people are united by a common tongue.

论据： 加拿大的情况

本题的答案：举了一个反例S ,说明作者结论的错误

C削弱的途径是：作者的例子就有问题，加拿大并不只是因为语言的问题才分裂的，和其他问题一起才分裂的，同样削弱了结论。

大家可以指出我思路有问题的地方吗？ 谢

我理解，c的反驳力度太大了，直接把人家的第一句话否定了。是不是这个原因ets认为e更好呢？

比如阿，我提出一个观点“rb人都是猪”。你来挑战我，说，还有一些rb人还不如猪呢，这就挑战成功了。

可是，如果你提出来，“世界上从来不存在rb人这个物种，只是猪的一个变体”，可能就不能算是挑战成功了。

不知道说明白乐没有...
