10. In order to pressure the government of Country S to become less repressive, some legislators in Country R want to ban all exports from R to S. Companies in R that manufacture telecommunication equipment such as telephones and fax machines have argued that exports of their products should be exempted from the ban, on the ground that it is impossible for a country to remain repressive when telecommunication equipment is widely available to the population of that country.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument given by the manufacturers depends?

A.    The government of S has recently increased the amount of telecommunication equipment it allows to be imported into the country.
B.    The telecommunication equipment that would be imported into S if the exemption were to be granted would not be available solely to top development officials in S.
C.    A majority of the members of R’s legislature do not favor exempting telecommunication equipment from the ban on exports to Country S.
D.    Of all exports that could be sent to Country S, telecommunication equipment would be the most effective in helping citizens of S oppose that country’s repressive government.
E.    Without pressure from Country R, the government of S would be able to continue repressing its citizens indefinitely.
答案是B~

取非，如果说通过允许而进入S国的通讯设备仅仅限于高层官员，那还是不能满足前面所提到的民众广泛运用通讯设备来达到less repressive的目的，所以算B

真的很好

题目的意思说 为了使S国的政府较少的镇压，一些R国的立法者希望禁止所有从R国到S国的出口。R国制造远程沟通设备例如电话和传真机的公司主张他们的产品应该被避免这种禁止，因为当一个国家广泛使用远程沟通设备时，他不可能继续保持镇压。

B就是说R出口的这些设备不会仅仅被S国高官使用，也就是说可以被普通民众所用，这样才能达到原文说的telecommunication equipment is widely available to the population
