Below is an excerpt from a letter that was sent by the chairman of a corporation to the stockholders. A number of charges have been raised against me, some serious, some trivial. Individuals seeking to control the corporation for their own purposes have demanded my resignation. Remember that no court of law in any state has found me guilty of any criminal offense whatsoever. In the American tradition, as you know, an individual is considered innocent until proven guilty. Furthermore, as the corporation’s unbrokensix-yearrecord of growth will show, my conduct of my official duties as chairman has only helped enhance the success of the corporation, and so benefited every stockholder. Which of the following can be properly inferred from the excerpt? (A) The chairman believes that all those who have demanded his resignation are motivated by desire to control the corporation for their own purposes. (B) Any misdeeds that the chairman may have committed were motivated by his desire to enhance the success of the corporation. (C) The chairman is innocent of any criminal offense. (D) The corporation has expanded steadily over the past sixyears. (E) Any legal proceedings against the chairman have resulted in his acquittal.
大全给的答案是D。
我觉得D必然是错的啊~~~~题干“unbrokensix-yearrecord of growth ” 只是说六年不破的成长记录,却不能反映公司“expanded steadily”啊。 这个steadily实在太······
另外,C为什么不对? 前面已经说“no court of law in any state has found me guilty of any criminal offense ” ,接着又说“considered innocent”,那么理应 可以推导出这个人是innocent的啊?
