A recent report determined that although only 3 percent of drivers on Maryland highways equipped their vehicles with radar detectors, 33 percent of all vehicles ticketed for exceeding the speed limit were equipped with them. Clearly, drivers who equip their vehicles with radar detectors are more likely to exceed the speed limit regularly than are drivers who do not.
The conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following assumptions?
78. A recent report determined that although only 3 percent of drivers on Maryland highways equipped their vehicles with radar detectors, 33 percent of all vehicles ticketed for exceeding the speed limit were equipped with them. Clearly, drivers who equip their vehicles with radar detectors are more likely to exceed the speed limit regularly than are drivers who do not. The conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following assumptions? (A) Drivers who equip their vehicles with radar detectors are less likely to be ticketed for exceeding the speed limit than are drivers who do not. (B) Drivers who are ticketed for exceeding the speed limit are more likely to exceed the speed limit regularly than are drivers who are not ticketed.(KEY) (C) The number of vehicles that were ticketed for exceeding the speed limit was greater than the number of vehicles that were equipped with radar detectors. (D) Many of the vehicles that were ticketed for exceeding the speed limit were ticketed more than once in the time period covered by the report. (E) Drivers on Maryland highways exceeded the speed limit more often than did drivers on other state highways not covered in the report.
A到B (A装雷达易B被罚): Those whoe has radar detector are more likely than those who do not to be ticketed for speeding. Here we are comparing the chances to be ticketed with or without radar detector, not the ABSOLUTE number of people to be ticketed.

您看我这么理解您的意思对不对哈:1,短文中说although only......,.......。文章意思不是在强调数字的问题,而是想说装雷达的人 超速的可能性大,所以才用了although only。 2,因为第一句话后半句“33 percent of all vehicles ticketed for exceeding the speed limit were equipped with them” 说的是超速罚款的,所以自然是“A装雷达的”和"B被罚的"比较,因为这句话要强调的是装雷达超速的可能性大,所以自然是“A到B (A装雷达易B被罚)”
确实使用这种三段法 但是楼上解释的应该不对(因为stimuli里面写了ticketed for exceeding the speed limit),看OG的解释(from a particular example to a genneralization about the regular drinving behavior)可以知道: A:在一次“最近的”“一短时间内的”调查报告的结果中显示装radar的超速多 B:这个particular结果显示了regular的行为(B) C: 装radar的regular超速
