1. Below is an excerpt from a letter that was sent by the chairman of a corporation to the stockholders.
A number of charges have been raised against me, some serious, some trivial. Individuals seeking to control the corporation for their own purposes have demanded my resignation. Remember that no court of law in any state has found me guilty of any criminal offense whatsoever. In the American tradition, as you know, an individual is considered innocent until proven guilty. Furthermore, as the corporation’s unbroken six-year record of growth will show, my conduct of my official duties as chairman has only helped enhance the success of the corporation, and so benefited every stockholder.
Which of the following can be properly inferred from the excerpt?
(A) The chairman believes that all those who have demanded his resignation are motivated by desire to control the corporation for their own purposes.
(B) Any misdeeds that the chairman may have committed were motivated by his desire to enhance the success of the corporation.
(C) The chairman is innocent of any criminal offense.
(D) The corporation has expanded steadily over the past six years.
(E) Any legal proceedings against the chairman have resulted in his acquittal.

答案D.    我觉得C对.  由红色部分的出.

以前番茄NN解释如下:

这题按中国人的思路应该是很好理解c为什么错的
例如，我们判断一个人的肤色不一定是要脱光了她的衣服才知道的，那只是她本身的一种属性
同理，贪污没有并不一定是要等查出来才知道，只要曾经贪过，那我们说他是贪鬼就没有问题，不能说没有查出来，她就不贪了，这个逻辑可是错误的

可我觉得应该按文中逻辑推理, 怎么能用常识呢?  文中的推理得出这个人innocent.

困惑
