As one who has always believed that truth is our nation’s surest weapon in the propaganda war against our foes, I am distressed by reports of “disinformation” campaigns by American intelligence agents in Western Europe. In a disinformation campaign, untruths are disseminated through gullible local journalists in order to damage the interests of our enemies and protect our own. Those who defend this practice say that lying is necessary to counter Soviet disinformation campaigns aimed at damaging America’s political interests. These apologists contend that one must fight fire with fire. I would point out to the apologists that the fire department finds water more effective.
10.The author of the passage above bases his conclusion on which of the following?
(A) A circular definition of “disinformation”
(B) An example of the ineffectiveness of lying as a weapon in the propaganda war
(C) An analogy between truth and water
(D) An appeal to the authority of the fire department (E) An attack on the character of American intelligence agents in Western Europe
11.The author’s main point is that
(A) although disinformation campaigns may be effective, they are unacceptable on ethical grounds
(B) America’s moral standing in the world depends on its adherence to the truth
(C) the temporary political gains produced by disinformation campaigns generally give way to long-term losses
(D) Soviet disinformation campaigns have done little to damage America’s standing in Europe(E) disinformation campaigns do not effectively serve the political interests of the United States
我发现我发错了。。。。。。。。。。 不好意思。。。。。。。。。。 你刚才做的那两题是D和C，能再做现在这两题么？？ 谢谢~~ Questions 10-11 are based on the following.
Partly because of bad weather, but also partly because some major pepper growers have switched to high-priced cocoa, world production of pepper has been running well below worldwide sales for three years. Pepper is consequently in relatively short supply. The price of pepper has soared in response: it now equals that of cocoa.
其实这题的逻辑还是比较清晰的：
天气+组要的pepper商家转向cocoa→p供不应求→价格上涨
10.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?（其实就是must be true题型）
(A) Pepper is a profitable crop only if it is grown on a large scale.
(B) World consumption of pepper has been unusually high for three years.
(C) World production of pepper will return to previous levels once normal weather returns.
(D) Surplus stocks of pepper have been reduced in the past three years.（供不应求→库存量减少）（D）
(E) The profits that the growers of pepper have made in the past three years have been unprecedented.（没有任何信息表明这一点）
11.Some observers have concluded that the rise in the price of pepper means that the switch by some growers from pepper to cocoa left those growers no better off than if none of them had switched; this conclusion, however, is unwarranted because it can be inferred to be likely that（其实削弱题型，削弱转业者其实不应该转业）
(A) those growers could not have foreseen how high the price of pepper would go（对结论没有影响）
(B) the initial cost involved in switching from pepper to cocoa is substantial（之前的转业费用高，可是关于之后cocoa的利润才是有可能削弱结论的数据）
(C) supplies of pepper would not be as low as they are if those growers had not switched crops
(D) cocoa crops are as susceptible to being reduced by bad weather as are pepper crops（无关）（C）
(E) as more growers turn to growing cocoa, cocoa supplies will increase and the price of cocoa will fall precipitously（out of scope）
