16. A violin constructed to have improved sound would sound different from the best-sounding existing violins.To professional violinists, a violin that sounds different from the best-sounding existing violins sounds less like a violin and therefore worse than the best-sounding existing violins.fficeffice" />

答案是D,这题我是猜对的,看不太懂题目再说什么…

17. The fact that several of the largest senior citizens’ organizations are constituted almost exclusively of middle-class elderly people has led critics to question the seriousness of those organizations’ commitment to speaking out on behalf of the needs of economically disadvantaged elderly people.

Which of the following generalizations, if true, would help to substantiate the criticism implicit in the statement above?

(D) Middle-class elderly people are more likely to join organizations than are economically disadvantaged elderly people.

(E) People usually join organizations whose purpose is to further the economic, political, or social interests of their members. 答案是E,為什麼要選E不能選D [em09]

第16题题干问Would be the best supported by those statements是归纳题，归纳题可以用无关词排除法，A中amateur violinists 文中没有提到，排除，B中supervise没有提到，C中several centuries错误的时间状语，E中everyone 文中没有提到，排除。请高手指点。fficeffice" />

17题中削弱题形，d答案中用了比较，文中根本就没有比较的概念。d错。e中的答案刚好削弱了原文的结论。同因异果。 16题归纳题的关键是不用关心文章的推倒结构，只抓文章的信息。e中说construct a violin that sounds better than the best-sounding existing violins 对于除了专业小提琴手外的所有人来说是可能的。题目中就没给过这样的信息。文中只提到Professional violinists are the only accepted judges of the sound quality of violins.所以e错。
