When a polygraph test is judged inconclusive, this is no reflection on the examinee. Rather, such a judgment
means that the test has failed to show whether the examinee was truthful or untruthful. Nevertheless, employers
will sometimes refuse to hire a job applicant because of an inconclusive polygraph test result.
Which of the following conclusions can most properly be drawn from the information above?
(A) Most examinees with inconclusive polygraph test results are in fact untruthful.
(B) Polygraph tests should not be used by employers in the consideration of job applicants.
(C) An inconclusive polygraph test result is sometimes unfairly held against the examinee.
(D) A polygraph test indicating that an examinee is untruthful can sometimes be mistaken.
(E) Some employers have refused to consider the results of polygraph tests when evaluating job applicants.
我选择E,在题干的末句理解为,雇主有时会依据test ,那么就是说并不是雇主一直都会这样,即(有时候)有的雇主不会参考TEST 的结果。书中对E的解释是Information about employers who do not consider polygraph tests is irrelevant to the discussion.
题目中是some employers refuse to hire a job applicant because of test results,雇主基于测试结果的判断而不雇用。
而E是refuse to consider the results.雇主不考虑测试结果,正好相反。作者: tingting520 时间: 2010-7-8 06:43
