本题为什么不选择D 答案是A 一直没看明白 望各位牛牛们给小弟解惑。。。。。。最好帮助我翻译一哈
虽然不是大神 但感觉好像有点懂。。
这道题是问下列哪个选项可以得到题目的支持 也就是说这句话得符合题目的结论
A选项可能本身读起来就有点复杂。。
主语应该是“ The number of people for whom seeing an excerpt of a book in a magazine provides an adequate substitute for reading the whole book” 它是和后面的”the number for whom the excerpt stimulates a desire to read the book“比较
所以A选项的意思是说看了摘录就觉得已经够了不用再看书的人少于看了摘录就激起了看书愿望的人 这就可以推出题目的结论——出版之前发表摘录能刺激销售增长
D选项的那个按比例什么的和题目有点irrelevant
你再琢磨琢磨?
