GWD 17-9 令人困惑的一题

Q9:

Press Secretary: Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties. They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts. But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors. So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?

1. Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.
2. The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.
3. The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.
4. The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.
5. Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.

答案是B, 我选了e, 我还是觉得是对的，请求帮助，脑子转不过弯了？？？

这题是支持总统的，认为他是公正的。clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.

B The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party

认为那些预定的工程，后来被认为浪费的，不是在总统的党派控制的区域内。

不是刚好说明总统是偏袒自己的党派，认为总统不是公正的，是一个削弱。

E 是我唯一可以找到一定假设关系的。

请高手指点迷津。

E肯定不对，因为取非之后，REPORT被在野党认为是中立的，是加强，更加说明总统的公正，没有削弱结论。

B取非后：被认定有污染的项目通常在执政党管辖内，好象也是加强啊。不懂

C I think the answer is D. And 4th floor is right, E is very wrong. In order for E to be right, we have to change:

Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective(subjective) assessments of government projects.

D取非：The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the

President’s party were generally more expensive than the projects canceled

in districts controlled by opposition parties。

还是加强啊，说明总统削减自己的项目金额高啊。不懂。

knight9514

似乎懂了，哎。

B取非后：被认定有污染的项目通常在执政党管辖内。结果总统居然取消的项目90%都是

反对党的。说明他有偏见。

要是考试也这状态...
