Newspaper editorial:
In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditions harsher. Part of this effort has been to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses. However, this action is clearly counter to the governor's ultimate goal, since after being released from prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

正确答案: C

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed.
B. Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.
C. The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released.
D. Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate's subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.
E. The governor's ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime.

题目是说,政府为了减少犯罪,使监狱情况变差。其中一项措施就是不让罪犯们接受大学课程。但是呢,这样的措施是违背政府的初衷的(减少犯罪),因为接受大学课程的罪犯比没有接受课程的罪犯,在出狱以后少犯罪。

C就是说,那些想参与大学课程的人(在不参加课程以前)本身并没有高觉悟出去以后就会少犯罪。所以是因为大学课程使得他们不去犯罪了。

如果没有这个假设,那么安排不安排课程都没有关系。

结论是:(不让罪犯们接受大学课程)这种行为实际反对了政府的目的,因为在从监狱放出来之后,那些接受大学课程的罪犯犯罪率低于没接受大学课程的罪犯。

也就是说,大学课程的传授可以降低犯罪率。

对C选项取非,就是参与大学课程的人在上课前就已经觉悟到出去后少犯罪。也就是说上不上大学课程对降低犯罪率无关,从而削弱了文章的结论。

A选项说,在监狱里不能够参加大学课程这种行为不会阻止一个本来要犯罪的人去犯罪的想法。 应该是无关选项吧,因为结论讨论的是参加大学课程的事,不是不参加课程会带来什么结果。。

政府取消大学课程  这就意味着  犯人们 unable to take college courses! 这样的行为假如可以阻止一些本来参加大学课程的人要犯罪的 情况的话 不就是在降低犯罪率吗?

怎么是无关选项呢?

握手啊,我也选的是A,我的想法和你一样。
不过看了楼上的解释,感觉C的解释合理,但是就是无法理解A为什么错。

A选项:assumptiony一定是must be true, 如果这个assumption不对,不参加课程的确deter了要犯罪的人。但是这个不参加这个课程还是使罪犯出狱后犯罪率高。难以比较这两个哪一个效力更大,如果是后者效力大,那取消这个课程还是与政府的目的相悖)。。个人拙见
