Q40.

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?

 

1. Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.

2. The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.

Answer :B

Q40.

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. 

新闻发言人：有许多评论认为总统最近对一些高速公路项目的取消是一个针对对立党派所控制的众议院选区的一个报复行为。

They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.

They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.

他们把“90%的被取消项目来自那些地区”拿出来作为一个证据。

  But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors. 

但是所有被取消的项目也被一篇由无党派审计员所写的报告认为是一种浪费。

So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.

 所以总统的选择是由可靠的预算方针导向的，不是党派政治斗争。

3. 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.

4. 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.
