以下是引用skyguard2000在2005-3-7 0:10:00的发言:strategy是plan的同义词转换。 E里说到situation ... must bechanged,而实际上第二种strategy就是要保持这种situation,通过assist the farmers tomodernize their farms to maintain viability, 从而 these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, 进而 preserve the land from residential development. 所以E错。
先把题目贴全:
Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development. They plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it. That plan is ill-conceived; if the farmers did sell their land , they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other bidders. On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable. But farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires. And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation srategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.
A. The first presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; the second is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection. B. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attained; the second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion. C. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes can be attained; the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion. D. The first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evaluated in the argument; the second is a judgment providing a basis for the argument’s advocacy of a particular strategy.
E. The first presents a goal that the argument endorses; the second presents a situation that the argument contends must be changed if that goal is to be met in the foreseeable future.
答案应该就是D。D非常tricky,须仔细读,strategies for achieving which are being....是修饰goal定语从句,不是presents的宾语。E选项第二句话不对,“如果X那么Y”是a judgement(论断),不是situation。
