原文说的就是家长选择学校的事情,因此选A。prefer...to后面的东西也可以随便演绎--例如杀人放火--都不影响A选项成立。唯一值得纠结的是D选项,D选项是一个间接支持,没有A选项好。其他选项完全无关。在关注选项范围的时候,一定要关注整体意思,而不是几个单词。例如选项里有从句,那么这个选项的重点往往都在那个从句上。 -- by 会员 jeffjarrett (2012/12/14 4:27:17)jeff帮大猫看看这个题
128. The public in the United States has in the past been conditioned to support a substantial defense budget by the threat of confrontation with the Eastern bloc. Now that that threat is dissolving, along with the Eastern bloc itself, it is doubtful whether the public can be persuaded to support an adequate defense budget.
Which one of the following indicates a weakness in the position expressed above?
A. It presupposes that public opinion can be manipulated indefinitely, without the public’s becoming aware of that manipulation. B. It refers to past and present events that do not have a causal connection with public support of the budget. C. It assumes as fact what it seeks to establish by D. It fails to give any reason for the judgment it reaches. E. It hinges on the term “adequate”, the precise meaning of which requires reevaluation in the new context. |
