58。
Teresa: Manned spaceflight does not have a future, since it cannot compete economically with other means of accomplishing the objectives of spaceflight.

Edward: No mode of human transportation has a better record of reliability: two accidents in twenty-five years. This manned spaceflight definitely has a positive future.

Which of the following is the best logical evaluation of Edward's argument as a response to Teresa's argument?

A. It cites evidence that, if true, tends to disprove the evidence cited by Teresa in drawing her conclusion.
B. It indicates a logical gap in the support that Teresa offers for her conclusion.
C. It raises a consideration that outweighs the argument Teresa makes.
D. It does not meet Teresa's point because it assumes that there is no serious impediment to transporting people into space, but this was the issue raised by Teresa.
E. It fails to respond to Teresa's argument because it does not address the fundamental issue of whether space activities should have priority over other claims on the national budget.

答案是D, 为什么？Teresa 没有raised the issue吗。


107。
George Bernard Shaw wrote:" That any sane nation, having observed that you could provide for the supply of bread by giving bakers a pecuniary interest in baking for you, should go on to give a surgeon a pecuniary interest in cutting off your leg is enough to make one despair of political humanity."
Shaw's statement would best serve as an illustration in an argument criticizing which of the following?

A. Dentists who perfrom unnecessary dental work in order to earn a profit
B. Doctors who increase their profits by specializing only in diseases that affect a large percentage of the population
C. Grocers who raise the price of food in order to increase their profit margins
D. Oil companies that decrease the price of their oil in order to increase their market share
E. Bakers and surgeons who earn a profit by supplying other people's basic needs

答案是A.不太理解，谢谢大家帮忙指教。

58、好象没有一个对的。象样点的就只有D、E。但D中的 this was the issue raised by Teresa.与原文不符。E中的claims on the national budget. 原文也没说私人不能给钱。
107、若政治象某人给钱医生让他砍掉某人的腿，那这种国家的政治会让人对政治的人性绝望。也就是说，骗了人还让人开心、感谢，这种东西的存在真让人绝望了。

原题确实是：but this was the issue raised by Teresa.
T的观点是：Manned spaceflight cannot compete economically with other means of accomplishing the objectives of spaceflight。 THAT IS，there is SOME serious impediment to transporting people into space：“economically”.
而E回避了这个问题，提出了其他原因，暗示E认为there is NO serious impediment to transporting people into space。所以说这个是issue of E的asuumption.

是的,楼上的说法完全正确,58是E.
