花了半个小时,终于明白了一点:不能太绝对!
195. A proposed change to federal income tax laws would eliminate deductions from taxable income for donations a taxpayer has made to charitable and educational institutions. If this change were adopted, wealthy individuals would no longer be permitted such deductions. Therefore, many charitable and educational institutions would have to reduce services, and some would have to close their doors.
The argument above assumes which of the following?
(A) Without the incentives offered by federal income tax laws, at least some wealthy individuals would not donate as much money to charitable and educational institutions as they otherwise would have. (B) Money contributed by individuals who make their donations because of provisions in the federal tax laws provides the only source of funding for many charitable and educational institutions. (C) The primary reason for not adopting the proposed change in the federal income tax laws cited above is to protect wealthy individuals from having to pay higher taxes. (D) Wealthy individuals who donate money to charitable and educational institutions are the only individuals who donate money to such institutions. (E) Income tax laws should be changed to make donations to charitable and educational institutions the only permissible deductions from taxable income.
我总认为A,B,D都可以算是ASSUMPTION,都合理.想了半天,发现提干中"many charitable and educational institutions would have to reduce services, and some would have to close their doors"和A中:"...least some wealthy individuals would not donate ..."是相一致的.
而B中:"...provides the only source of ..."和D中:"...are the only individuals who are the only individuals who ..."说法太绝对了,不和题目中的说法一致.
所以,明白了ETS出题还是有一定讲究的:不能太绝对!
