The technological conservatism of bicycle manufacturers is a reflection of the kinds of demand they are trying to meet.  The only cyclists seriously interested in innovation and willing to pay for it are bicycle racers.  Therefore, innovation in bicycle technology is limited by what authorities will accept as standard for purposes of competition in bicycle races.

 

Which of the following is an assumption made in drawing the conclusion above?

 

(A) The market for cheap, traditional bicycles cannot expand unless the market for high-performance competition bicycles expands.

(B) High-performance bicycles are likely to be improved more as a result of technological innovations developed in small workshops than as a result of technological innovations developed in major manufacturing concerns.

(C) Bicycle racers do not generate a strong demand for innovations that fall outside what is officially recognized as standard for purposes of competition.

(D) The technological conservatism of bicycle manufacturers results primarily from their desire to manufacture a product that can be sold without being altered to suit different national markets.

(E) The authorities who set standards for high-performance bicycle racing do not keep informed about innovative bicycle design.

答案是C  我不东  请教！！！

     首先简化一下题目的conclusion: innovation limited by racer's standard  (就是说bicycle的创新功能将被限制在自行车赛选手为了比赛需要而要求的一些标准上)

   简化下C选项：racer do not favor the innovations that are not considered standard. (自行车选手不会喜欢那些跟比赛需要的标准之外的创新功能）

你仔细想想，如果C不成立的话，比如你可以把C取反（就是说如果这个假设不成立），然后你再去看conclusion,明显削弱了，所以C是正确选项。

The technological conservatism of bicycle manufacturers is a reflection of the kinds of demand they are trying to meet.  The only cyclists seriously interested in innovation and willing to pay for it are bicycle racers.  Therefore, innovation in bicycle technology is limited by what authorities will accept as standard for purposes of competition in bicycle races.

Which of the following is an assumption made in drawing the conclusion above?


(A) The market for cheap, traditional bicycles cannot expand unless the market for high-performance competition bicycles expands.



(B) High-performance bicycles are likely to be improved more as a result of technological innovations developed in small workshops than as a result of technological innovations developed in major manufacturing concerns.



(C) Bicycle racers do not generate a strong demand for innovations that fall outside what is officially recognized as standard for purposes of competition.



(D) The technological conservatism of bicycle manufacturers results primarily from their desire to manufacture a product that can be sold without being altered to suit different national markets.



(E) The authorities who set standards for high-performance bicycle racing do not keep informed about innovative bicycle design.

首先，假设题，判断是否有否定句
有
那么A C E入选，其他淘汰
其次，搞清楚原文因果，Bicycle racers  strong demand authorities 三者之间原文已经给出了完整的因果关系，所以答案一定是否定其他与这三个概念相关的可能性
读选项，E high-performance 无关词排除 A  cheap, traditional bicycles 无关词排除
选择C
最后验证C与原文意思是否贴切
贴切
最终选定C

毛毛怪

这道题是这样的，首先前提条件是使用创新的自行车设备的人只有自行车选手。结论是政府就限制自行车的设计，要求其只可以根据比赛要求来设计。那么前提不可以推出这个结论，因为缺少附加条件，就是自行车选手喜欢用的就是比赛需要的那些设备，而对以外的创新设备没有需求。C选项就是这个附加条件，取非他就使文章削弱了。

我觉得 最好的方法是：找到逻辑对象！

第一个是technology conservatism与demand关系，

第二个是bicycle racers interest in innovation，bicycle racers与 innovation关系

结论是innovation limit to standard，即innovation跟standard的关系。

所以，应该补充一个bicycle racers 与 technology demand关系！

请教各位大牛，这样的思路是否正确？

This CR exhibits a language shift.

The premise is about X: BICYCLE RACERS.
The conclusion is about Y: COMPETITION.

The assumption is that X is connected to Y: that BICYCLE RACERS care only about innovation that is accepted as standard for purposes of COMPETITION.

Only answer choice C links BICYCLE RACERS to COMPETITION:

The argument assumes that BICYCLE RACERS do not generate a strong demand for innovations that fall outside what is officially recognized as standard for purposes of COMPETITION.

The correct answer is C.
