政府对囚犯严格使监狱条件更苛刻,其中一项措施是不许他们上大学课程,实际上政府的决定违背他们的最终目的,因为上了大学课程的犯人释放后要比没有上大学课程的犯人犯罪少
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?假设
(A)Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter 阻止anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed. 参加大学课程不能阻止犯罪
(B)Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population. 以前的囚犯比起一般人来不会更容易犯罪 无关
(C)The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released. 上了大学课程的囚犯放出来后并没有比其他犯人更加不容易犯罪,就是还是容易犯罪
(D)Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate’s subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does. 上高中课程没有效果,无关
(E)The governor’s ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime. 政府的目的实际上是制造声势告诉人们政府正在对于犯罪有效打击
楼上说选C,提干说上了大学课程的囚犯再次犯科的几率会变小,但实际上不一定是上了大学课程给了囚犯多大帮助,这些囚犯能够主动去上课,本身就证明他们比较自觉向上了,因而出来后改过自新的概率更大。
偶觉得这个解释的确象是正确答案但是C不是这个意思啊
偶选E,假设题就是要找出前提和结论的桥梁,现在前提和结论之间明显缺乏ultimate goal这座桥梁,加入对ultimate goal的解释后,文章就读得通了。其实做这题偶还是用的是排除法,把ABCD这4个选项看了看觉得都不是答案,最后剩下E,用取非,削弱了结论。所以选E,不过这题还真怪怪的
