5. 题目问：什么样的人最容易被审查？   

    已知：1985年之后被审查过但没有出现错误者最不会被审查。

   B. 1986年被审查但没有发现错误（因为他的错误已经在报税之前被其律师更正了）

        所以，这人不会被审查。不选 B.

   D.1984年被审查过，但没发现错误。

        1984年，早于1985年，过期了， 查！  所以， D 对。

18. 1987年之前，Alpha 公司的收益最好。

    自从1987年，Beta 公司试图赶超 Alpha 公司，于是 Beta 参加了销售研讨会。 Alpha 公司没参加该研讨会。

    但是，Beta 公司的收益就是不如 Alpha 公司。

    所以，critics 说，是研讨会有问题。

E. 即使 sales have risen 20%, 但是并不能驳斥 critics 的假设 “since 1987, revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees attended consultant-led seminars were lower than revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees did not attend such seminars.“ 所以不能驳斥 critics 的结论。所以，E 错。

A.  I don't know how to explain it. so...

A说只有87年前销售最好的公司才没参加SEMINAR。也即有参加SEMINAR的公司销售（收入）低于没参加SEMINAR的公司的原因是没参加的公司本来销售就好，有参加SEMINAR的公司销售实际是有提高的，知识还没赶得上销售最好的公司。即不是SEMINAR没效果。
