3.As part of our program to halt the influxof illegal immigrants, the administration is proposing the creation of anational identity card. The card would be available only to U.S. citizens and to registeredaliens, and all persons would be required to produce the card before they couldbe given a job. Of course, such a system holds the potential, however slight,for the abuse of civil liberties. Therefore, all personal information gatheredthrough this system would be held strictly confidential, to be released only byauthorized personnel under appropriate circumstances. Those who are incompliance with U.S.laws would have nothing to fear from the identity card system.In evaluating the above proposal, a personconcerned about the misuse of confidential information would be most interestedin having the author clarify the meaning of which of the following phrases? (A) “allpersons” (line 5) (B) “howeverslight” (line 7) (C) “civilliberties” (line 8) (D) “appropriatecircumstances” (line 11) (D)(E) “U.S. laws” (line 2) 没大看懂。。求翻译+解题思路,多谢了!! -- by 会员 fairytale17 (2012/3/5 20:23:16)
Argument的大意是: 作为制止非法移民计划的一部分,当局打算推出一种全国身份证。这种证件只有美国公民和登记过的外国人可以拿到,只有先拿到这个证才可以工作。当然,这样的体系也存在着或多或少的一种公民权力的滥用。因此,所有通过这个系统搜集到的个人信息必须严格保密,被授权的人只有在合适的场合才能获取。那些非法移民就不用为这个身份证系统担心了。
思路: 首先定位结论,上面加粗体的那句话。 然后,问题中说的对于担心个人信息泄露的人,他关心的是信息获取的途径,重点关注结论。 结论中有两个conceptions need to be clarified,一个是“authorized personnel”,另一个是“appropriate circumstances”。 看选项,发现D选项符合。 我觉得这题用Prephrase方法比较好,也更快。
个人意见,期待更多人的讨论,以及NN们的解答~~ |
