本题实质是两个事物是否可比较。涉及4个因素。film industrial, video game industrial, game renters, game salers.
salers声称rent这种方式损害了他们的利益,然后搬出电影行业的立法为据,注意一个词“until one year”。这是解题的关键。 题干又臭又长,实质就是支持renters反驳salers。 因为salers妄图引用film行业的规则来证明自己,那么仅仅找出这两个行业的不同的点即可。选项C明显属于这个范畴,围绕解题关键until one year做文章,充分说明了video game行业自身的特点,证明film行业的立法用到这个行业是unfair的,不公正之处就是C项描述的,人们对于game喜新厌旧,超过一年的老游戏is unappealing
b/c people will have no more interest to play video games after one year of its release, then the game rental stores will lose money. Hence, it is not good to compare the market of video games with that of films.
Press Secretary:Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors.So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?
Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.
The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.
The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.
The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.
Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.
答案为B,我不明白。请高手指教。

Fearing competition from stores that rent video games for home use, owners of stores that sell video games lobbied for protective legislation.Citing as a precedent legislation that postpones home film rentals until one year after general release to theaters, the video sellers proposed as an equitable solution a plan that would postpone rental of any video game until it had been available for sale for one year.
Which of the following, if true, would support an objection by owners of video rental stores that the fairness of the proposed legislation is not supported by the precedent cited?
Although the daily rental fee for home use of films is generally the same as that for video games, the average rental period for a video game is longer than that for a film.
Film rentals for home use tend to particularly strong during the first year after a film has been made available for both sale and rental at video rental stores.
Most people are interested in playing only the latest video games and tend to find video games that have been available for over a year unappealing whether they have played them before or not, whereas films maintain their appeal far longer after their release.
People who rent video games tend to play them by themselves, whereas people who rent films invite friends and neighbors to watch.
A slight decline in revenues from films that have been recently released in theaters has been attributed to the growing market for rentals of films for home use.
