Q21:

Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development.  They plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it.  That plan is ill-conceived:  if the farmers did sell their land, they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other bidders.  On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable.  But farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires.  And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.

In the argument as a whole, the two boldface proportions play which of the following roles?

1. The first presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; the second is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection.
   
2. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attained; the second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion.
   
3. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes can be attained; the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion.
   
4. The first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evaluated in the argument; the second is a judgment providing a basis for the argument’s advocacy of a particular strategy.
   
5. The first presents a goal that the argument endorses; the second presents a situation that the argument contends must be changed if that goal is to be met in the foreseeable future.

Answer is D;

这道题是GWD2的21题，我考试中居然遇到了！居然在一次考试中遇到两遍！！居然两遍的原文和以上题目的原文一模一样！！！居然两遍黑体字的位置和以上题目黑体字的位置都不一样！！！！居然两道题10个答案完全不一样！！！！！不是ETS疯了就是我考试的电脑闹病毒了：（ 可想而知我有多郁闷了，不过说实话考前这道题就没有100%懂，也怪自己。

所以，再次把这道题贴出来，希望NN能把每一句话的作用依照答案逐一列出来，以便再次碰到这道题的CDer们成竹在胸。

bryan0806兄讲的很清楚全文结构

首先第一句是Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development. 读完全文后应该就知道这是环境组织和作者的目标

然后环境组织plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it.  然而作者对于这个strategy不以为然（That plan is ill-conceived:）以下提出两点evaluations(即4楼mariezhu提出的那两点)1.if the farmers did sell their land, they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other bidders. 2.On the other hand(由此可看出这是第二点), these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable.（只要那些地还可耕种farmer就不会卖地）

所以他要那些地仍然可耕种 但是 farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires.

farmers 需要financial resources modernization requires

所以他提议And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.

我在想这题再长点可以当阅读考了
