19.Informed people generally assimilate information from several divergent sources before coming to an opinion. However, most popular news organizations view foreign affairs solely through the eyes of our State Department. In reporting the political crisis in foreign country B, news organizations must endeavor to find alternative sources of information. Which of the following inferences can be drawn from the argument above? (A) To the degree that a news source gives an account of another country that mirrors that of our State Department, that reporting is suspect. (B) To protect their integrity, news media should avoid the influence of State Department releases in their coverage of foreign affairs. (C) Reporting that is not influenced by the State Department is usually more accurate than are other accounts. (D) The alternative sources of information mentioned in the passage would probably not share the same views as the State Department. (E) A report cannot be seen as influenced by the State Department if it accurately depicts the events in a foreign country.
答案是D选项,我这里有一个疑问就是news organizations must endeavor to find alternative sources of information.这句中的alternative sources of information并没有说这个替代的来源要和原来State Department的view 不一样啊。就是说文中指明了来源的不一样,但是可以是不一样的 sources 相同的view,只要这view是不同的source得出的. 那么这alternative sources更加明确的是指出不受State Department 的影响吧。我选择了B选项,如果严格追究起来To protect their integrity原文中没有提到,但是后面的我更加认同B比D要好一些,是不是我太钻牛角了,哪位帮我分析下??非常感谢
我并不能直接反驳你的观点,但我会再做出选择的前30秒删除(A), (B), (C) 因为 (A) that reporting is suspect 没有证据支持,是臆测 (B) To protect their integrity 同样没有出处,也是臆测 (C) usually more accurate than are other accounts 也是主观判断,甚至是either-or thinking 所以也是直接删除 至于(E),会有一点被拐走的可能性,但是同样的我们无法判断何者较正确,基本上本题只要提到正确性的选项都应该是错的,因为文章通篇没有提及 最后(D)选项中有一个字是probably,使得(D)不是一个武断的陈述,因此选(D)
