个人认为这道题不选A而选择B的几个原因:
1. 看前辈选A有说到定位原文: it would be an egregious error to equate the monopolistic producer with bountiful expenditures on research
这个处恰恰证明了不选A,原因有2:
(1)作者对monopolistic industry 去produce the inventions没有信心。
而原文说:it would be an egregious error to equate the monopolistic producer with bountiful expenditures on research 这不是同意替换。
monopolistic industry = the monopolistic producer这是对的
但是produce the inventions 不等于 bountiful expenditures on research
若A要正确,就得有个assumption: bountiful expenditures on research = produce the inventions
(2)A选项原文:
has little confidence inthe ability of monopolistic industry to produce the important inventions of thefuture
这里体现的是作者质疑monopolistic industry的produce the important inventions 的能力(ability),作者不是质疑大公司有没有能力去做,而是大公司有能力却不去做。原文给了大公司不去做的几点原因:tend to operate morecomfortably in stable and secure circumstances, and their managerialbureaucracies tend to promote the status quo and resist the threat implicit inchange. Moreover, in some cases, industrial giants faced with little or nocompetition seek to avoid the capital loss resulting from obsolescence bydeliberately obstructing technological progress.
2. 我选B的原因:
对应原文:There are those who consider it questionable that thesedefense-linked research projects will either improve our standard of living ordo much to protect our diminishing resources. B选项:would rather see the federal government spend money on social servicesthan on the defense establishment social service替换improve our standard of living 虽然 虽然这个选项没有明确说出这个是作者的观点,但是A选项的错误之处太明显。所以选了B.
