看了这么多讨论，终于明白了E正确！

Youknowme

综合前人的讨论,偶也说说对这个题的理解吧,偶是超级菜菜菜鸟,还恳请各位高手指点.

Question 10:

Environmentalist: The use of snowmobiles in the vast park north of Milville creates unacceptable levels of air pollution and should be banned.

Milville business spokesperson:   Snowmobiling brings many out-of-towners to Milville in winter months, to the great financial benefit of many local residents.  So, economics dictate that we put up with the pollution.

Environmentalist: I disagree:  A great many cross-country skiers are now kept from visiting Milville by the noise and pollution that snowmobiles generate.

Environmentalist responds to the business spokesperson by doing which of the following?

整个文章的线索:E说s creates pollution;M说s brings benefit,so put up with the pollution;E disagree M. 因为skiers kept from  visiting by pollution这样就意味着来的人少了,befefit的优势从何谈起呢?有力地驳斥了M所说的benefit

A. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome can derive from only one set of circumstances 反对一个假设即满意结果的得到仅从一系列的环境因素

B. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome反对一个假设即满意的结果小于消极的方面所产生的结果.

C. Maintaining that the benefit that the spokesperson desires could be achieved in greater degree by a different means 主张S所希望的benefit在很大程度上通过其他的方式达到.文中并未提及.

D. Claiming that the spokesperson is deliberately misrepresenting the environmentalist’s position in order to be better able to attack it   提出S故意误解E的观点,文中并未提及

E. Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain group of people actually benefited those people      否认了S所说游客带来的benefit让人受益

所以选E

明白了。

A.only one set of circumstances，无

B. certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome这是Environmentalist的观点，不是spokeman的观点；反

C. in greater degree by a different means，无

D.    misrepresenting the environmentalist’s position in order to be better able to attack it，无

E.     Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain group of people actually benefited those people：S说因为经济利益考虑，所以污染就忍忍；E说不同意，因为污染，某些人就没来；分析E的weaken方向，就是直接否定S的假设

三无一反一正确，这是CR选项的基本特征

e is right, cause b is oppersite with what the spokesperson said, E对是因为 Denying that an effect  actually benefited those people--就是说由于人都不来了，所以无法实现对那些人有益的效果,  而且这个选项好就好在DENY 一词用的很好.  做GMAT 时要培养一定的做题感觉, 对正确选项要有很好的识别, 就象狒狒老师说过的他根本不动阅读语法的规则,就是凭感觉选择的，因为他见过太多的正确表述了,所以我们也要在做题时积累对正确答案的感觉,你们觉得呢?

E，环境学家没有否定，而只能说削弱了an effect。B意思是说：challenging an assumption:经济利益大于污染。相对而言，B较合适。

我选择A.

E错误的原因和ztlbox说的一样.

Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain group of people actually benefited those people

作者没有反驳 吸引游客会带来经济利益, 而是指出 污染会赶走另外一批人(skier)

所以作者承认effect的确是好的.

如果答案这么写，恐怕E就对了。

"out-of-towners to Milville 来了之后, 好事没干多少，反而破坏经济"

大家说A无关, 主要是
                        one set of circumstances, 但这里circumstances是

the conditions that affect a situation, action, event etc的意思, 理解为conditions.

意思就是只要有一个conditions, 就能desire outcome.

正好指出文中忽略了其他conditions的错误.

promising

确信应该选择A.

支持选E
