支持A 一. Historian: In the Drindian Empire, censuses were conducted annually to determine the population of each village. Village census records for the last half of the 1600’s are remarkably complete. This very completeness makes one point stand out; in five different years, villages overwhelmingly reported significant population declines. Tellingly, each of those five years immediately followed an increase in a certain Drindian tax. This tax, which was assessed on villages, was computed by the central government using the annual census figures. Obviously, whenever the tax went up, villages had an especially powerful economic incentive to minimize the number of people they recorded; and concealing the size of a village’s population from government census takers would have been easy. Therefore, it is reasonable to think that the reported declines did not happen.
In the historian’s argument, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
- The first supplies a context for the historian’s argument; the second acknowledges a consideration that has been used to argue against the position the historian seeks to establish.
- The first presents evidence to support the position that the historian seeks to establish; the second acknowledges a consideration that has been used to argue against that position.
- The first provides a context for certain evidence that supports the position that the historian seeks to establish; the second is that position.
- The first is a position for which the historian argues; the second is an assumption that serves as the basis of that argument.
- The first is an assumption that the historian explicitly makes in arguing for a certain position; the second acknowledges a consideration that calls that assumption into question.
做的时候也想到了这题,犹豫要不要选E,但后来还是觉得A好 这题看似BF1也只是罗列fact,但注意红字部分,其实是有加强的. 再看我们现在讨论的32题,BF1纯粹就是一个fact,所以两者的类比不成立 二. 个人也觉得A中的content要是改成context会更好一点,但看了anyname对于identifies的理解,觉得content也可以勉强接受 请各位指正```(不过现在我倒是比较怀疑那个content是打错了) |
