13. In 1712 the government of Country Y appointed a censor to prohibit the publication of any book critical of Country Y’s government; all new books legally published in the country after 1712 were approved by a censor. Under the first censor, one half of the book manuscripts submitted to the censor were not approved for publication. Under the next censor, only one quarter of the book manuscripts submitted were not approved, but the number of book manuscripts that were approved was the same under both censors. If the statements in the passage are true, which one of the following can be properly concluded from them?
A. More books critical of Country Y’s governments were published before the appointment of the first censor than after it.
B. The first censor and the second censor prohibited the publication of the same number of book manuscripts.
C. More book manuscripts were submitted for approval to the first censor than to the second.
D. The second censor allowed some book manuscripts to the published that the first censor would have considered critical of Country Y’s government.
E. The number of writers who wrote unpublished manuscripts was greater under the first censor than under the second.
为什么是C
题读的不是很明白
帮个忙 谢谢
14. If the government increases its funding for civilian scientific research, private patrons and industries will believe that such research has become primarily the government’s responsibility. When they believe that research is no longer primarily their responsibility, private patrons and industries will decrease their contributions toward research. Therefore, in order to keep from depressing the overall level of funding for civilian scientific research, the government should not increase its own funding.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies?
A. Governments should bear the majority of the financial burden of funding for civilian scientific research.
B. Any increase in government funding would displace more private funding for civilian scientific research than it would provide.
C. Private donations toward research are no longer welcomed by researchers whose work receives government funding.
D. Civilian scientific research cannot be conducted efficiently with more than one source of funding.
E. funding for civilian scientific research is currently at the highest possible level.
为甚么是B
谢谢
Y 任命了一个censor阻止那些批评Y政府的书publish。
第一个censor任职期间，上交的手稿中50%的书被发表了
第二个censor 任职期间，上交的手稿中25%没有通过——》推出 有75%的被发表了
又说了第二个被发表的和第一个被发表的书一样多
设： 第一次上交了A份手稿，第二次上交B份手稿——》50%A=75%B ; A: B=3: 2
所以就是C 啦，第一次上交的手稿大于第二次上交的手稿
14.题目应该能读的懂吧，注意最后一句话：Therefore, in order to keep from depressing the overall level of funding for civilian scientific research, the government should not increase its own funding.
为了阻止总体funding level 的下降。试想一下，如果政府增加的funding 和private减少的funding数量一样，总日funding level 就没有变化了。 所以一定是政府增加的funding 比 private减少的funding 少，导致整个funding level 下降了，所以才会采取措施，好好体会 in order to 后面的～～～～

对于第14题，原文的逻辑关系是这样：
government 增加(A) -> private 减少（B） -> funding 减少（C）。
另有一个隐含条件：C = A + B。
选项B正好在A、B与C之间建立了联系。如果选项B成立，那么C= A+B会减小，题目中的推导就正确了。
