OG12-----CR 38 求解！！

which of the following best completes the passage below?

The computer industry's estimate that it loses millions of dollars when users illegally copy programs without paying for them is greatly exaggerated.Most of the illegal copying is done by people with no serious interst in the programs.Thus,the loss to the industry is quite small,because____________________________

(A)many users who illegally copy programs never find any use for them

(B)most people who illegally copy programs would not purchase them even if purchasing them were the only way to obtain them(??????问题来了)

(C)even if the computer industry received all the revenue it claims to be losing,it would still be experiencing financial difficulties

(D)the total market value of all illegal copies is low in comparison to the total revenue of the computer industry

(E)the number of programs that are frequently copied illegally is low in comparison to the number of programs available for sale

答案是B 本来选对了后来看了OG的解释后迷糊了弄不清D答案为什么不对
OG是这样解释的：This comparison is faulty: the loss is not being considered in the context of total industry revenues but in the context of total sales of programs.
这是什么意思啊？这么奇怪希望大虾们给与指导！

就是没有可比性的意思吧。

loss of illegally copy programs应该和total sales of programs进行比较，而不是total revenue of the industry(D选项）

电脑公司认为很多人非法下载了它的软件使他亏了
但事实上是其实很多非法下载的人基本是对这个软件没兴趣的
就算他收费也没几个人会买

我觉得B也不对啊他只说非法拷贝的人中大多数不会购买但是没说非法拷贝的人数多不多啊如果有一万个人非法拷贝其中九千个不会购买那公司的损失也是很多的啊

呼唤高人解答！！！

你这样理解就钻牛角尖了，你只要从题目所给信息去解答，比如说most不会买，意思就是very few会买，基本就是negligible,critical thinking很少会用绝对词，比如none of them。

A我就是想不通，能解释下吗？
既然那些用COPY PROGRAMS的没发现软件的用处，自然就不会买呗，说明不是目标客户呀，为啥就不对呢？莫非我又自HIGH了。。。
