新东方蓝皮书下册Test 23 Section IV

Sasha: Handwriting analysis should be banned in court as evidence of a person's character: handwriting analysts called as witnesses habitually exaggerate the reliability of their analyses.

法庭应该禁止用笔迹分析作为关于人性格的证据：所谓的笔记分析专家习惯性地夸大分析结果的可靠性。

Gregory: You are right that the current use of handwriting analysis as evidence is problematic. But this problem exists only because there is no licensing board to set professional standards and thus deter irresponsible analysts from making exaggerated claims. When such a board is established, however, handwriting analysis by licensed practitioners will be a legitimate courtroom tool for character assessment.

没错，目前法庭上将笔迹分析作为证据是有问题的。但是这个问题存在的唯一原因是因为没有没有建立一个专业的licence board,制定相关的专业标准，从而遏制不负责任的分析家做出夸大的评论。一旦这个board成立起来以后，持有执照的board成员作出的性格分析就能成为合法的法庭工具了。

26. Which one of the following,if true, would provide Sasha with the strongest counter to Gregory's response?

(A) Courts routinely use means other than handwriting analysis to provide evidence of a person's character.
(B) Many people can provide two samples of their handwriting so different that only a highly trained professional could identify themas having been written by the same person.
(C) A licensing board would inevitably refuse to grant licenses to some responsible handwriting analysts for resasons having nothing to do with their reliability.
(D) The only handwriting analysts who claim that handwriting provides reliable evidence of a person's character are irresponsible.
(E) The number of handwriting analysts who could conform to professional standards set by a licensing board is very small.

 

答案是D。没有明白这个答案的意思，是说，只有那些声称笔迹能提供关于人性格的可靠证据的是不负责任的吗？

那把这个答案代到G的话里面，“thus deter irresponsible analysts ( handwriting analysts who claim that handwriting provides reliable evidence of a person's character) from making exaggerated claims. 是让笔迹专家不要说笔迹分析是可靠的吗？那是不是就从侧面说明笔迹分析是没有必要的呀。

晕了

G认为：只要set professional standards ，就能deter irresponsible analysts from making exaggerated claims。

（G认为在set professional standards 的前提下，handwriting provides reliable evidence of a person's character ）

题目问the strongest counter to Gregory's response（对强烈对G言论的反驳）

(D) The only handwriting analysts who claim that handwriting provides reliable evidence of a person's character are irresponsible.

（只要handwriting analysts who claim that handwriting provides reliable evidence of a person's character ，都是不负责任的，即不正确的，这完全否定了G在一定前提前提条件下认为存在的可能性）

D答案争锋相对，直接否定G的言论，因此是最强烈的驳斥。

many thanks!

一直都没有搞明白这个the only....是个啥结构.

crusoecrusoe

the only  算不上结构。（限定被修饰词）

Only the 算倒装结构。（限制前半句话）

其他only的结构为：

If only A, then B 即  A->B

Only if A, then B 即  B->A
