以下是引用wikeypig在2003-9-14 17:20:00的发言:19. It is widely assumed that a museum is helped finan-
cially when a generous patron donates a potential
exhibit. In truth, however, donated objects require
storage space, which is not free, and routine conser-
vation, which is rather expensive. Therefore, such gifts
exacerbate rather than lighten the demands made on
a museum's financial resources.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?
(A) To keep patrons well disposed, a museum will
find it advisable to put at least some donated
objects on exhibit rather than merely in storage.
(B) The people who are most likely to donate valu-
able objects to a museum are also the people
who are most likely to make cash gifts to it.
(C) A museum cannot save money by resorting to
cheap storage under less than adequate con-
ditions, because so doing would drive up the
cost of conservation.
(D) Patrons expect a museum to keep donated
objects in its possession rather than to raise
cash by selling them.
(E) Objects donated by a patron to a museum are
often of such importance that the museum
would be obliged to add them to its collec-
tion through purchase if necessary.
答案是E。不懂!
