•2. GWD17-Q9: （CD-9 Q10）
                

•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? （B)

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

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

C.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.

D.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.

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

当时做这题我似乎选E了，但想想确实应该选B

A、C是无关选项，D中high way projects和other projects谁更expensive题干中也并没提到，E中nonpartisan auditor's reports are not regarded by the opposition parties从题干中也不能推出（因为题干并没说opposition parties对nonpartisan audior的观点如何评价，nonpartisan auditor's reports只是用作一个例子证明president的决定的公正性）

题中先说president's cancellations是一个vindicative desire，并证明the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.就证明被cancel掉的projects是在opposition parties的districts中，而不是在president's party的districts中，也就是B选项

看了stavan的推理似乎觉得我对于B正确性的推理似乎有点问题，看来我只能做排出法，哈哈~~
