11. (24915-!-item-!-188;#058&001837)

Radio stations with radio data system (RDS) technology broadcast special program information that only radios with an RDS feature can receive.  Between 1994 and 1996, the number of RDS radio stations in Verdland increased from 250 to 600.  However, since the number of RDS-equipped radios in Verdland was about the same in 1996 as in 1994, the number of Verdlanders receiving the special program information probably did not increase significantly.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

(A) Few if any of the RDS radio stations that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994 broadcast to people with RDS-equipped radios living in areas not previously reached by RDS stations.
(B) In 1996 most Verdlanders who lived within the listening area of an RDS station already had a radio equipped to receive RDS.
(C) Equipping a radio station with RDS technology does not decrease the station's listening area.
(D) In 1996 Verdlanders who did not own radios equipped to receive RDS could not receive any programming from the RDS radio stations that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994.
(E) The RDS radio stations in Verdland in 1996 did not all offer the same type of programming.

答案是A。谁能解释一下。谢谢。

A应该是说，1994年后建的Station很少会覆盖那些以前不能被覆盖但拥有设备的人所居住的地区。也就是说1994年以前station就已经覆盖了有设备的人所在的地区。所以有设备的人既然没变。收听的人数也没变

qianrene

就是说1994年新增加的那些电台和原来的覆盖范围是一样的，并没有扩大，所以能收听到的人还是那么多

D是重复了文中第一句话

adlinker

谢谢，我之前选的也是D
(A) Few if any of the RDS radio stations that began broadcasting in
Verdland after 1994 broadcast to people with RDS-equipped radios living
in areas not previously reached by RDS stations.
主要是这句看不懂。你能帮忙分析一下这个选项的句子结构吗？

Radio stations with radio data system (RDS) technology broadcast special program information that only radios with an RDS feature can receive.  Between 1994 and 1996, the number of RDS radio stations in Verdland increased from 250 to 600.（RDS覆盖的范围扩大了，解题的关键）  However, since the number of RDS-equipped radios in Verdland was about the same in 1996 as in 1994,（前提：配备RDS的收音机数量不变）
  the number of Verdlanders receiving the special program information probably did not increase significantly（结论：接受特别节目的人数不遍）.

配备RDS的收音机数量不变=》接受特别节目的人数不遍

由文中黄色部分可得出作者的假设是RDS覆盖范围的变化并没影响到接收特别节目的人数，即：A

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

Few if any（插入语） of the RDS radio stations（主语）
        that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994（定语从句）
        broadcast（谓语） to people with RDS-equipped radios living in areas not previously reached by RDS stations.

(A) Few（主语） if any of the RDS radio stations that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994 broadcast to people with RDS-equipped radios living in areas not previously reached（谓语） by RDS stations. A表达的意思就是有很少一部分人在RDS电台1994年开始扩张之前没有被RDS电台普及

应该是：几乎没有RDS电台（1994年后的那些）向那些人广播（那些人是之前也没有被普及进去的）

pangpangshin

嘿嘿，刚刚A分析错了，琢磨半天

Few if any（插入语） of the RDS radio stations（主语）
        that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994（定语从句）
        broadcast（谓语） to people with RDS-equipped radios living in areas not previously reached by RDS stations.

同意LS MM观点

A是说：1994年大多数有那个特殊设备的人，他们所在的地方都能收到那些电台的信号。

A直译：1994年向Verdland广播的电台（即便是有）也很少不能将信号发送到有特殊设备的人所居住的地区。

像这种双重否定的特殊句式、极其变态的表达方法，就是GMAT的最爱

(A) Few（主语） if any of the RDS radio stations that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994 broadcast （谓语） to people with RDS-equipped radios living in areas not previously reached by RDS stations.修饰地区

这题是我见过的最BT的逻辑题了，居然要考长难句，出题人心里阴暗啊!谢谢楼上两位mm帮忙，这一下就清楚多了。  如果考试有这么BT的题，只能放弃了。
