我觉得如果D要更准确的话,第一个boldface的地方应该把Theyplan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who ownit.也加进去,这样才符合D选项的“Thefirst presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are beingevaluated in the argument”。 这点就是让我觉得D不完美的地方。从本质上来说,第一句话真的只提了目标而已,后面讲了两个stragety,第一个持负评价,第二个持正平价。 一点看法。供参考。
Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development. Theyplan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who ownit. That plan is ill-conceived: if the farmers did sell their land,they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbidany other bidders. On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable. Butfarming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, andmost of the farmers lack the financial resources modernizationrequires. And that is exactly why a more sensible preservationstrategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to theextent needed to maintain viability.
In the argument as a whole, the two boldface proportions play which of the following roles?
Thefirst presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; thesecond is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection.
Thefirst presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attained;the second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion.
The first presents a goal that the argument concludes can be attained; the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion.
Thefirst presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are beingevaluated in the argument; the second is a judgment providing a basisfor the argument’s advocacy of a particular strategy.
Thefirst presents a goal that the argument endorses; the second presents asituation that the argument contends must be changed if that goal is tobe met in the foreseeable future.
