比如这题：

GWD1-Q3:

A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price.  Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product.  But large profits on the mew product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the mew product’s capabilities.  Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.

 

In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

 

1. The first is an assumption that forms the basis for a course of action that the argument criticizes; the second presents the course of action endorsed by the argument.

2. The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy.

3. The first is an assumption that has been used to justify a certain strategy; the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that assumption.

4. The first is a consideration raised in support of a strategy the argument endorses; the second presents grounds in support of that consideration.

5. The first is a consideration raised to show that adopting a certain strategy is unlikely to achieve the intended effect; the second is presented to explain the appeal of that strategy.

我选的C 但是答案是B

有哪位高手能指点一下 consideration和 assumption到底如何区别？

谢谢了！

consideration=原因，缘由，论据是也

具体意思不要看了

中间有个BUT，最后有个总结陈词之类的标志

看选项：

A认为两句之间没转折，干掉

B认为两句之间有转折，留着

C同B

D同A

E同A

BC开比

第一句明显在BECAUSE之后，当然选B

此题做完

今天也做了下这个题目！感觉理解不太一样！我主要是从语意上来分析答案！列在这里！供后来者参考！
A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price.  Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product.  But large profits on the mew product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the mew product’s capabilities.  Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
一个产品能够展示出超于其他竞争产品的明显技术优势就可以获得一个较高的价格。因为技术的优势很容易被超越，所以公司总司希望在产品具备优势时能够取得最大的利润，所以大多数的公司在拥有这类产品的时候都是按照产品市场能够承受的最大价值来定价。但是新产品上的巨大利润会促使竞争对手很快的获得同等能力的产品。那么，获得产品长期最大价值的策略就是在定价上要低于最大的价格。
1）The first is an assumption that forms the basis for a course of action that the argument criticizes; the second presents the course of action endorsed by the argument.

翻译：第一部分是关于这篇争论批判观点的行为形成过程的臆测，第二部分展示了这篇争论支持观点的行为过程，

分析：从语义上来看，前半部分是没有问题的，正是因为技术容易被超越所以公司在定价上采取最高定价，但第二部分却存在问题，第二部分是说按照最大价格定价的后果，并没有说定低价的过程。所以这个选项PASS!

2)The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy.

翻译：第一部分是解释某种策略产生的分析，第二部分是采取这种策略提出的质疑。

分析：虽然语意表达上与原文不完全一致，但逻辑上的意思没什么差异。所以作为正确选项！

3)The first is an assumption that has been used to justify a certain strategy; the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that assumption.

翻译：第一部分用来评判某种策略的假设，第二部对于该种假设提出质疑。

分析：第一部分只是陈述了一种观点并没有做出评判，所以关键点在JUSTIFY，故该选项PASS!
4)The first is a consideration raised in support of a strategy the argument endorses; the second presents grounds in support of that consideration.

翻译：第一部分提出文章支持的观点，第二部分为其提供论据；

分析：逻辑上明显的错误，PASS!
5)The first is a consideration raised to show that adopting a certain strategy is unlikely to achieve the intended effect; the second is presented to explain the appeal of that strategy.

翻译：第一部分提出对于采用某种策略达不到预期策略的思考，第二部分解释某种策略的意图；

分析：原文并没有说出这个意思，故PASS!
