124. The local board of education found that, because the current physics curriculum has little
direct relevance to today’s world, physics classes attracted few high school students. So to
attract students to physics classes, the board proposed a curriculum that emphasizes
principles of physics involved in producing and analyzing visual images.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest reason to expect that the proposed
curriculum will be successful in attracting students?
(A) Several of the fundamental principles of physics are involved in producing and
analyzing visual images.
(B) Knowledge of physics is becoming increasingly important in understanding the
technology used in today’s world.
(C) Equipment that a large producer of photographic equipment has donated to the high
school could be used in the proposed curriculum.
(D) The number of students interested in physics today is much lower than the number of
students interested in physics 50 years ago.
(E) In today’s world the production and analysis of visual images is of major importance in
communications, business, and recreation.

答案：E，B为何不对呢？

谢谢。

The local board of education found that, because the current physics curriculum has little
direct relevance to today’s world这一句仔细看看,这是前提. B说的违反前提.

以前的物理可不吸引人，是因为与today’s world没有什么关系；
而BOARD为了吸引学生，要加入producing and analyzing visual images的物理；
而答案E正好联系上了二者，producing and analyzing visual images与today’s world关系紧密。

OG124：为什么不是A呢？

文章结论：So to attract students to physics classes, the board proposed a curriculum that emphasizes principles of physics involved in producing and analyzing visual images.是不是暗含了一个前提：involved in producing and and analyzing visual images的some principles of physics 是存在的？

A选项：Several of the fundamental principles of physics are involved in producing and analyzing visual images.不是正好证明这个assumption是正确的，从而support这个结论吗？ 我的思路是不是很怪异？
