51. People who have political power tend to see new technologies as a means of extending or protecting their power, whereas they generally see new ethical arguments and ideas as a threat to it. Therefore, technical ingenuity usually brings benefits to those who have this ingenuity, whereas ethical inventiveness brings only pain to those who have this inventiveness.
Which one of the following statements, if true, most strengthens the argument?
(A) Those who offer new ways of justifying current political power often reap the benefits of their own innovations.
(B) Politically powerful people tend to reward those who they believe are useful to them and to punish those who they believe are a threat.
(C) Ethical inventiveness and technical ingenuity are never possessed by the same individuals
(D) New technologies are often used by people who strive to defeat those who currently have political power.
(E) Many people who possess ethical inventiveness conceal their novel ethical arguments for fear of retribution by the politically powerful.

Answer is B. Why is E wrong?

==================
52. Birds need so much food energy to maintain their body temperatures that some of them spend most of their time eating. But a comparison of a bird of a seed-eating species to a bird of a nectar-eating species that has the same overall energy requirement would surely show that the seed-eating bird spends more time eating than does the nectar-eating bird, since a given amount of nectar provides more energy than does the same amount of seeds
The argument relies on which one of the following questionable assumptions
(A) Birds of different species do not generally have the same overall energy requirements as each other
(B) The nectar-eating bird does not sometimes also eat seeds
(C) The time it takes for the nectar-eating bird to eat a given amount of nectar is not longer than the time it takes the seed-eating bird to eat the same amount of seeds
(D) The seed-eating bird does not have a lower body temperature than that of the nectar-eating bird
(E) The overall energy requirements of a given bird do not depend on factors such as the size of the bird, its nest-building habits; and the climate of the region in which it lives

The answer is C. why are D/E wrong?

NN们帮我看看呀!谢谢!!!

51,people 喜欢科技是因为科技能够给他们带来好处，那怎么才能体现出这种喜欢呢，呵呵，PEOPLE会REWARD科技，这不就加强了这些人的确是喜欢科技吗
E 有一个很明显的错误，MANY，大多看到这种词在加强的时候都是有问题的，几乎可以直接略去这个选项，削弱嘛还可以看看。

52，有两种鸟，一种吃nectar，一种吃seed，因为NECTAR的个大，所以能量多，那么两种鸟因为所需能量相同，所以吃NECTAR只需要较少的NECTAR就可以了。
OK，说到这里都是对的，但问题也出来了，作者怎么可以从个数的多少推出所需时间的多少呢，这就是他的问题所在。
D中所说的温度和上述问题有什么关系呢，同样E中的内容也没有什么关系，一定是找出原文推理中的空缺才是最重要的

51.还请仔细说说E有什么问题,谢谢!!!
那是不是"many"换成"MOST"就对了呢?(就可支持了呢?)

52.懂了,谢谢!!!

最好就是换成ALL了
只要其中有一个坏事的就有反例了，那还怎么加强啊

我觉得对于51题，原因People who have political power tend to see new technologies as a means of extending or protecting their power, whereas they generally see new ethical arguments and ideas as a threat to it. 结果Therefore, technical ingenuity usually brings benefits to those who have this ingenuity, whereas ethical inventiveness brings only pain to those who have this inventiveness.讲得是有政治权利得人处理问题的方法（主观得东西） B答案是一个支持结论的例子。E讲的这些人和原文得逻辑推理没有关系。

希望大家批评指正
