Questions 10-11 are based on the following.

From time to time, the press indulges in outbursts of indignation over the use of false or misleading information by the U.S. government in support of its policies and programs. No one endorses needless deception. But consider this historical analogy. It is known that Christopher Columbus, on his first voyage to the New World, deliberately falsified the log to show a shorter sailing distance for each day out than the ships had actually traveled. In this way, Columbus was able to convince his skeptical sailors that they had not sailed past the point at which they expected to find the shores of India. Without this deception, Columbus’s sailors might well have mutinied, and the New World might never have been discovered.

10.   The author of the passage above assumes each of the following EXCEPT:

(A) Government deception of the press is often motivated by worthy objectives.

(B) Without government deception, popular support for worthwhile government policies and programs might well fade.

(C) Attacks on the government by the press are often politically motivated.

(D) Deception for deception’s sake should not be condoned.（C）

(E) A greater good may sometimes require acceptance of a lesser evil.

10.why answer D is false?

11.   Which of the following is the main weakness of the historical analogy drawn in the passage above?

(A) The sailors in Columbus’s crew never knew that they had been deceived, while government deception is generally uncovered by the press.

(B) A ship’s log is a record intended mainly for use by the captain, while press reports are generally disseminated for use by the public at large.

(C) The members of a ship’s crew are selected by the captain of the ship, while those who work in the press are self-selected.

(D) The crew of a ship is responsible for the success of a voyage, while the press is not responsible for the use others make of the factual information it publishes.（E）

(E) In a democracy, the people are expected to participate in the nation’s political decision making, while the members of a ship’s crew are expected simply to obey the orders of the captain.

帮你推  

我也想问第10题为什么选c不选d

fair_sword

10题, AB, CD各为同类假设,你给他们取非一下就看出来了,

D取非Deception for deception’s sake should be condoned,削弱, 其他类似

但是C取非,对于结论没有削弱,C是无关选项.

amacd

Questions 10-11 are based on the following.

From time to time, the press indulges in outbursts of indignation over the use of false or misleading information by the U.S. government in support of its policies and programs（说明政府使用这些欺骗手段是为了支持自己的policies and programs, 但没有考虑到人民，而人民有权利要求修改政府制定的政策）. No one endorses needless deception. (在一个民主国家里,政府不需要欺骗民众,因为人民应当参与到政策制定和修改的过程中)But consider this historical analogy. It is known that Christopher Columbus, on his first voyage to the New World, deliberately falsified the log to show a shorter sailing distance for each day out than the ships had actually traveled. In this way, Columbus was able to convince his skeptical sailors that they had not sailed past the point at which they expected to find the shores of India. Without this deception, Columbus’s sailors might well have mutinied, and the New World might never have been discovered.

11.   Which of the following is the main weakness of the historical analogy drawn in the passage above?
(A) The sailors in Columbus’s crew never knew that they had been deceived, while government deception is generally uncovered by the press.
        首先船员们是否never knew，我们不知道，他们可能后来知道了！其次，政府的deception是否generally uncovered，我们也不知道
(A)  A ship’s log is a record intended mainly for use by the captain, while press reports are generally disseminated for use by the public at large.
比较用途无关
(B)  The members of a ship’s crew are selected by the captain of the ship, while those who work in the press are self-selected.
跟船员是否由船长选择的无关，这不能排除他们就不会发动暴乱
(D) The crew of a ship is responsible for the success of a voyage, while the press is not responsible for the use others make of the factual information it publishes.
船员和成功航行可能有关系，但是the press和其发布的信息一样有关系（E）
(E) In a democracy, the people are expected to participate in the nation’s political decision making, while the members of a ship’s crew are expected simply to obey the orders of the captain.
指出了区别，船员是要遵守船长的指挥；而政府不能命令人民遵照它的意志
