讨论4月JJ的一道真题(nlhsz提供)/JJ-0404-

Mel: The official salary for judges has always been too low to attract the best Candidates to the job. The legislature’s move to raise the salary has done nothing to improve the situation, because it was coupled with a ban on receiving money for lectures and teaching engagements.

Pat:  No, the raise in salary really does improve the situation. Since very few judges teach or give lectures, the ban will have little or no negative effect.

Pat’s response to Mel is inadequate in that it （nlhsz提供）

A. attempts to assess how a certain change will affect potential members of a group by providing evidence about its effect on the current members.
B. mistakenly takes the cause of a certain change to be an effect of that change.
C. attempts to argue that a certain change will have a positive effect merely
D.by pointing to the absence of negative effects simply denies Mel’s claim without putting forward any evidence in support of that denial
E. assumes that changes that benefit the most able members of a group necessarily benefit all members of that group.

我选D, 大家来讨论

没人答了么?

i choose E

我觉得应该选A,理由如下：

MEL的结论是“The official salary for judges has always been too low to attract the best Candidates to the job.”，我觉得这里的关键在于too low to "attract" the best candidates.这里面强调的是“candidates”—those who have not been judges yet, 他们都还不是法官—they are potential members, 我认为这一点是题目的关键所在。

Pat’s response is "Since very few judges teach or give lectures, the ban will have little or no negative effect.",这个回应里的关键是“few judges", 也就是说这些人是“在职法官”—current members。可是，mel说的明明是candidates，pat 用 judges 的情况来回应，当然就是“attempts to assess how a certain change will affect potential members of a group by providing evidence about its effect on the current members”，也就是选项A的论述。

个人观点，班门弄斧，请牛人指正。

答案是（A）。完全同意陌的分析。Pat的问题就是“答非所问”

   同样汗。。。我读完觉得D，E是错的，感觉不好。当然B，C是肯定错

   但是并不觉得A对。。。如果是考试，这个题目我估计要错

请教d为什么不对
