费费一提请教
10. In order to pressure the government of Country S to become less repressive, some legislators in Country R want to ban all exports from R to S. Companies in R that manufacture telecommunication equipment such as telephones and fax machines have argued that exports of their products should be exempted from the ban, on the ground that it is impossible for a country to remain repressive when telecommunication equipment is widely available to the population of that country.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument given by the manufacturers depends?
(A) The government of S has recently increased the amount of telecommunication equipment it allows to be imported into the country.
(B) The telecommunication equipment that would be imported into S if the exemption were to be granted would not be available solely to top development officials in S.
答案是B。

why not D?

SOORY, ADD CONDITION AS FOLLLOWING:

C) A majority of the members of R’s legislature do not favor exempting telecommunication equipment from the ban on exports to Country S.
(D) Of all exports that could be sent to Country S, telecommunication equipment would be the most effective in helping citizens of S oppose that country’s repressive government.
(E) Without pressure from Country R, the government of S would be able to continue repressing its citizens indefinitely.

对D中的most，我觉得可能有问题，不一定要most effective。

能解释一下为什么选B么？谢谢

取反就知道了。

B: 如果telecommunication equips只对top officials供应，那么就跟原题里的“widely available to the population of that country”相悖。

是说 取非+削弱 么？

做assumption题应该用这种方法么？

还是没想明白这个选项为什么是一个assumption

it is impossible for a country to remain repressive when telecommunication equipment is widely available to the population of that country

如果通讯工具在国家很普及的话，国家就不会remain repressive

BThe telecommunication equipment that would be imported into S if the exemption were to be granted would not be available solely to top development officials in S

B取非，如果是只向top development officials in S的话就不是普及了，那么国家就不会remain repressive 的结论就不成立了。

－－－－－－－－－－－－－

取非削弱是assumption这类必要条件的性质，即必要条件不成立，则原文结论一定不成立
