文章说：政治人物把科学认为能扩大其权利，对伦理道德认为是对其权利的威胁。

结论说：科学的独创性能给那些有科学独创性的人带来好处，而伦理道德的独创性却对有伦理道德独创性的人带来痛苦。

问加强

这题是有点绕，重要的原因是大家不知道这些个痛苦和好处是谁带来的。

B其实要说的是：这些都是政治人物带来的，政治人物认为科学是好东西，所以那些有科学独创性的人是有好处的，反之那些道德上有独创性的人却被政治人物视为一个威胁，因此只有痛苦。

但是"这些都是政治人物带来的"这一点，文章没有交代的很清楚，所以看完文章有一点云里雾里的，所以解释中也说了，这个文章的前提。但是个人以为，B并没有很清楚的交代这一点，而是需要大家从B推一步，想出 those who have inventiveness and ingenuity的人分别指的就是文章最初所说的“科技和伦理道德”，这点上我感觉FF没有体现出应有的透明度，和现在的题型有所差别。

CShadow

我不是NN。

我的思路是这样子的：

题目的中心/出发点是people with political power, 所以优先考虑提到political的结论 ==> B.

求证：

reward useful and punish threat -> 题干中ethical inventiveness take pain是有可能的 -> strengthen.

更确定应该选B 刚找到了答案

B is correct. The passage reaches the conclusion
                    that technical ingenuity usually brings benefits to those who have this ingenuity, whereas ethical inventiveness brings only pain to those who have this inventiveness. However the only reason is that People who have political power tend to see new technologies as a means of extending or protecting their power, whereas they generally see new ethical arguments and ideas as a threat to it.

 From the reason to the conclusion, there is a jump of concept. We need a link for the 2 concepts: people who have political power and the ingenuity.

Choice B, by establishing the link, provides the strongest support. Choice B is actually an assumption for the argument.

A, C does not bear on the reasoning of the passage.

D weakens the argument.

E does not concern, because what many people do has nothing to do with the conclusion.

答案是B,不是E,我就是不知道啊!

victorliu

我觉得应该选E。

题目中说技术创新对于政治人物来说是好事，但是伦理方面的new idea往往会来带麻烦。

A.只说了好处，把麻烦也概括到好处里面去了。
B.说对别人奖罚分明，但是题目中应该是对政治人物本身来说。
C.觉得不太相关吧
D.说新技术的用处常常被用来打击当权者，和题目意思相反
E.说很多有新的伦理方面想法的人也会迫于政治的压力而隐藏自己的观点。为什么呢？答案就在题目中，因为新的政治观点常常会带来麻烦。所以我觉得因该选E。

今天是偶刚接触GMAT的第二天，所以还是请牛牛们来给个答案吧！

选什么？？B嘛？？

SuJie0481010

People who have political power tend to see new technologies as a means of extending or protecting their power, whereas they generally see new ethical arguments and ideas as a threat to it. Therefore, technical ingenuity usually brings benefits to those who have this ingenuity, whereas ethical inventiveness brings only pain to those who have this inventiveness.

Which one of the following statements, if true, most strengthens the argument?

(A) Those who offer new ways of justifying current political power often reap the benefits of their own innovations.

(B) Politically powerful people tend to reward those who they believe are useful to them and to punish those who they believe are a threat.

(C) Ethical inventiveness and technical ingenuity are never possessed by the same individuals

(D) New technologies are often used by people who strive to defeat those who currently have political power.

(E) Many people who possess ethical inventiveness conceal their novel ethical arguments for fear of retribution by the politically powerful.
