35. Which of the following best completes the passage below?
The computer industry’s estimate that it loses millions of dollars when users illegally copy programs without paying for them is greatly exaggerated. Most of the illegal copying is done by people with no serious interest in the programs. Thus, the loss to the industry is quite small, because.
(A) many users who illegally copy programs never find any use for them (B) most people who illegally copy programs would not purchase them even if purchasing them were the only way to obtain them
(C) even if the computer industry received all the revenue it claims to be losing, it would still be experiencing financial difficulties
(D) the total market value of all illegal copies is low in comparison to the total revenue of the computer industry
(E) the number of programs that are frequently copied illegally is low in comparison to the number of programs available for sale
这道题的选项是B没有什么问题但是我很纠结D选项,看以前的帖子有大神说要紧扣原文的核心即:most of the illegal copying is done by people with no serious interest in the program.D选项没有什么关系。我觉得比较有道理,看OG 的解释,说:the comparison is faulty: the lose is not being considered in the context of total industry revenues but in the context of total sales of programs. 我的理解是这样的 对于整个行业的全部收入不能反映出这部分人对于这个program是不是感兴趣也就是说与本题的核心无关,但是如果说是对这个program的销量就可以反映那部分人是不是对该program有兴趣。这样理解对吗?
我知道 B 是最好的选项可我就是不知道D 中OG 的解释为什么这样说the comparison is faulty: the lose is not being considered in the context of total industry revenues but in the context of total sales of programs. 他是说如果和program的总产量比较就可以吗?
所以补全的题就是要和前提、结论密切相关的,我也知道B是最好的选择,可是我想看看OG 对D的思路the comparison is faulty: the lose is not being considered in the context of total industry revenues but in the context of total sales of programs. 难道和这个program的总产量比就可以?

你的意思是他盗版的就算放到市场上去卖也没不了多少钱? D 不是这个意思吧
...
不是我的意思 而且我的意思也不是卖不了多少钱
题目有的D选项
the total market value of all illegal copies is low in comparison to the total revenue of the computer industry
说的是相较之下的价值
所以如果说这道题目没有B选项,而且把D选项改成Program的话会是答案。
你现在到底在纠结什么?
