大全-1-15

Technological education is worsening. People between eighteen and twenty-four, who are just emerging from their formal education, are more likely to be technologically illiterate than somewhat older adults. And yet, issues for public referenda will increasingly involve aspects of technology.

Which of the following conclusions can be properly drawn from the statements above?

(A) If all young people are to make informed decisions on public referenda, many of them must learn more about technology.

(B) Thorough studies of technological issues and innovations should be made a required part of the public and private school curriculum.

(C) It should be suggested that prospective voters attend applied science courses in order to acquire a minimal competency in technical matters.

(D) If young people are not to be overly influenced by famous technocrats, they must increase their knowledge of pure science.（A）

(E) On public referenda issues, young people tend to confuse real or probable technologies with impossible ideals.

题目是看懂了，但就是不知道为什么选a，我选的是b，后来看看e好像也对，只是没有头绪了，还请大家帮忙睽睽

properly drawn,即题中信息是选项的充分条件.

题中有两个信息,(1),18-24岁的年轻人相比较年长的人,更technological illiterate; (2) public referenda 将运动到更多的technology

A,正确.(2)---public referenda issues将需要technological literate;年轻人缺乏,所以他们需要学习更多的technology;

B,(1)+(2)并不一定能得出"technological studies should be required "的结论,只有加上"public referenda issues是年轻人必须参与的" 这样的信息,才能得出B中的结论.

E,题中没有提到什么confuse啊,显然错.

A选项中的概念范畴没有超过原题中的范畴,只是用learn more technology重新解释了一下technology illiterate

多谢指点！有一点还不明白，画线部分是什么意思？现在想想这句好像自己没看懂

If all young people are to make informed decisions on public referenda, many of them must learn more about technology.

是因为这句没看懂么?

issues for public referenda will increasingly involve aspects of technology.

issue --- a subject or problem that is often discussed or argued about, especially a social or political matter that affects the interests of a lot of people.

informed decision --- a decision etc that is based on knowledge of a subject or situation

现在明白了不?

不好意思

If all young people are to make informed decisions on public referenda, many of them must learn more about technology.

那么这句的意思是不是，如果所有的年轻人决定公共投票，他们必须学习更多的技术

怎么还是觉得不顺呢？

怎么还是觉得不顺呢？

题目中" 公众投票的问题将牵涉到越来越多的技术问题",所以,你问的这句的意思是: 如果年轻人要充分认识公众投票,作出明智的决定,他们就必须了解更多的技术

the public referenda subject will increasingly involve more aspects of technology, so if young people want to make decisions based on knowledge of the subject, they have to learn more about technology.

这样解释是不是清楚一些?

interpreted in another way :

If young people want to learn more about public referenda and then make their decisions on this issue, they have to learn more about technology.
