这两题看不懂为什么选那些答案，希望牛人们帮我解答一下，谢谢了！

61. Investigators concluded that human failure was not responsible for the fatal airplane crash last August, and since that time new and more stringent rules for identifying and reporting mechanical problems have been in effect. That accounts for the fact that reports of airplane mechanical problems have increased in frequency by 50 percent since last August. （C）

Which one of the following is an assumption underlying the argument in the passage?

(A) Airplane travel is still relatively safe, despite the increase in reported mechanical problems.

(B) Mechanical problems in airplanes have increased dramatically since last August.

(C) Mechanical problems in airplanes have not increased by 50 percent since last August.

(D) Airlines are less reluctant to report mechanical problems than they previously were.

(E) Mechanical problems in airplanes have become easier to detect since last August.

75. Advertisers are often criticized for their unscrupulous manipulation of people’s tastes and wants. There is evidence, however, that some advertisers are motivated by moral as well as financial considerations. A particular publication decided to change its image from being a family newspaper to concentrating one sex and violence, thus appealing to a different readership. Some advertisers withdrew their advertisements from the publication, and this must have been because they morally disapproved of publishing salacious material. (C)

Which one of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument?

(A) The advertisers switched their advertisements to other family newspapers.

(B) Some advertisers switched from family newspapers to advertise in the changed publication.

(C) The advertisers expected their product sales to increase if they stayed with the changed publication, but to decrease if they withdrew.

(D) People who generally read family newspapers are not likely to buy newspapers that concentrate on sex and violence.

(E) It was expected that the changed publication would appeal principally to those in a different income group.

75.原文是说有些广告商不是为了赚钱而是出于道德的考虑而撤销在改版成色情暴力杂志上登广告。而C是说广告商认为他们的销售会因撤销广告而下降，但是仍旧撤销广告的刊登，正好迎合原文的结论。

61题我用排除法做，只有C最可能了，具体原因也说不好。

(C) The advertisers expected their product sales to increase if they stayed with the changed publication, but to decrease if they withdrew.

这句话不是翻成：“广告商认为他们的产品销售会上升如果他们仍然和改变后的出版商合作，但是会下降如果他们推出。”吗？

怎么会是你的那种翻译呢？

还有61题目为什么不能选A呢？

怎么得出的E答案呢？

2.     Ann: All the campers at Camp
                    Winnehatchee go to Tri-Cities
                        High School

Bill: That’s not true. Some Tri-Cities students are campers at Camp
                    Lakemont.

Bill’s answer can be best explained on the assumption that he has interpreted Ann’s remark to mean that

(A) most of the campers at Camp
                    Lakemont come from high schools other than Tri-Cities

(B) most Tri-Cities
                    High School students are campers at Camp
                        Winnehatchee

(C) some Tri-Cities
                    High School students have withdrawn from Camp
                        Lakemont

(D) all Tri-Cities High School students have withdrawn from Camp Lakemont（E）

(E) only campers at Camp
                    Winnehatchee are students at Tri-Cities

以下是引用0198在2006-8-29 22:44:00的发言：

(C) The advertisers expected their product sales to increase if they stayed with the changed publication, but to decrease if they withdrew.

这句话不是翻成：“广告商认为他们的产品销售会上升如果他们仍然和改变后的出版商合作，但是会下降如果他们推出。”吗？

怎么会是你的那种翻译呢？

还有61题目为什么不能选A呢？

你翻译的没错啊，所以即便他们知道销售会下降，但是还是选择了退出，说明了他们考虑到了MORAL的因素啊。如果单纯考虑利润就会留下了。

61题的A说飞机还是安全的，但是原文没有强调这点，只是说飞机失事不是人为的失误，无关选项。

怎么排除E选项呢？

问题是要一个CONCLUSION that depends on both information, 而E没有体现出原文的第一句话。

怎么得出的E答案呢？

2.     Ann: All the campers at Camp
     Winnehatchee go to Tri-Cities
      High School

Bill: That’s not true. Some Tri-Cities students are campers at Camp
     Lakemont.

Bill’s answer can be best explained on the assumption that he has interpreted Ann’s remark to mean that

(A) most of the campers at Camp
     Lakemont come from high schools other than Tri-Cities

(B) most Tri-Cities
     High School students are campers at Camp
      Winnehatchee

(C) some Tri-Cities
     High School students have withdrawn from Camp
      Lakemont

(D) all Tri-Cities High School students have withdrawn from Camp Lakemont（E）

(E) only campers at Camp
     Winnehatchee are students at Tri-Cities
      High School

ANN的意思是说所有的CW都去了TC。而BILL误认为是所有的TC都来自于CW。

E也是说只有来自于CW的才是TC的学生，和原文BILL的想法一致。
