Summary:
3% of all equipped with detectors
33% of vehicles caught speeding equipped with detectors
Conclusion: drivers who use detectors are more likely to speed regularly than those who don't
Author has made a leap between speeding only occasionally and getting (unluckily) caught vs. speeding regularly - but the rest of the argument does not actually mention anything about the frequency of speeding of various groups. It may be obvious that the more often you speed, the more chances you have to get caught - but the argument does not spell this out.
Choice A does not address author's conclusion - he's contending that drivers who choose to use detectors do so because they plan to speed regularly. This choice says that whether someone has a detector has a bearing on whether s/he gets caught - which may be true in the real world, but it does not answer this question.
Choice B addresses this leap that the author makes about the frequency of speeding. If drivers who are ticketed are likely to exceed the speed limit regularly, then the 33% of vehicles caught speeding with detectors will fall into this category of people who are more likely to speed regularly. Remember, again, that it may be obvious that the more often you speed, the more likely you are to get caught - but the argument doesn't literally spell it out, and that's the point. The author is just assuming this point is true without spelling it out.
所以这题的gap是“超速被罚款”和结论里的“regularly超速”之间的gap吧
题目说了33%超速被罚款的人装了雷达,结论却是装了雷达的人更经常超速
-->因为超速被罚款不等于经常超速,也有可能一些倒霉的人第一次超速就被罚款了,所以gap就是超速被罚款的人比没有被罚款的人更regularly超速-->B
Ron:"drivers who speed" 不等于 "drivers who receive speeding tickets". / for instance, you have to think of, say, "murderers" and "people convicted of murder" as COMPLETELY DIFFERENT unless the passage states their equivalence. |
