GWD-10-Q29：GWD-2-14

Smithtown
                University’s fund-raisers succeeded in getting donations from 80 percent of the potential donors they contacted.  This success rate, exceptionally high for university fund-raisers, does not indicate that they were doing a good job.  On the contrary, since the people most likely to donate are those who have donated in the past, good fund-raisers constantly try less-likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base.  The high success rate shows insufficient canvassing effort.

 

Which of the following, if true, provides more support for the argument?

 

A.      Smithtown
                University’s fund-raisers were successful in their contacts with potential donors who had never given before about as frequently as were fund-raisers for other universities in their contacts with such people.

B.       This year the average size of the donations to Smithtown
                University from new donors when the university’s fund-raisers had contacted was larger than the average size of donations from donors who had given to the university before.

C.      This year most of the donations that came to Smithtown
                University from people who had previously donated to it were made without the university’s fund-raisers having made any contact with the donors.

D.      The majority of the donations that fund-raisers succeeded in getting for Smithtown
                University this year were from donors who had never given to the university before.

E.       More than half of the money raised by Smithtown
                University’s fund-raisers came from donors who had never previously donated to the university.

 

答案是A，我选的是C，大部分donation是自己找上门来的，并非contact的结果，不就support了contact不sufficient吗

我的体会哈，看了N多大侠的讨论得出的，大家随便看看，顺便帮我点评点评？

文章说S大学筹钱高的成功概率说明S大学的筹钱者did not do a good job. 因为高的成功概率说明 insufficient canvassing effort（游说不努力的意思）。
A项support说这些筹钱者没有像其他大学的筹钱者那样频繁的接触那些以前没有捐款的人——正好是说这些筹钱者游说不努力。
C项说那些筹钱者没有联系过的人都来捐款，反映不了S大学筹钱者did not do a good job 这个事实。

A:SmithtownUniversity’s fund-raisers were successful in their contacts with potential donors who had never given before about as frequently as were fund-raisers for other universities in their contacts with such people.
一样频繁啊，所以楼上理解错了


我开始也选的C
后来仔细想想，还是A有理
文章这一句是判断依据：On the contrary, since the people most likely to donate are those who have donated in the past, good fund-raisers constantly try less-likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base.
什么是好的fund-raisers，就是那些try less-likely prospects的人。
看A，如果 smithtown 的fund-raisers跟其他学校接触的人一样多，而smithtown的成功率高，说明他们没去找less-likely prospects，从而他们不是good fund-raisers。要把这句话理解成成功率低的是good fund-raisers的判断标准

我觉得This success rate, exceptionally high for university fund-raisers是重点，A表明了他们的donation是以前捐过的人捐的，而对于以前没捐过的，这所大学其实和其他大学是一样的。所以表明contact不sufficient。事实上我一开始也选了C，可能C不如A好的原因就是因为没有和其他学校比。

哪位NN能帮忙确认一下我的思路对不对，谢谢了。

I don't think the "official" answer is correct.

A is obviously not supporting the argument. A means Smithtown U actually is not bad, or at least at the same level, in contacting donors who had never donated before.

A means S University's job is just so so which means "not a good job".

So A is the choice.

Actually only choice A mentions the donors who had never given before. Others only mentions the donars who had given to the university before.

我选的是C希望得到解释为什么答案是A？

我觉得C有点偷换概念的味道。题目一直讨论的是联系谁（未捐款过的/捐款过的）----来表示他们是不是good raiser，而C选项讨论的是without contact，与讨论点无关。。。

不知道能不能这么理解

又仔细看了一遍原文第一句~有点道理哦~
