News paper reviews of film adaptations of well-known books or plays frequently concentrate on the adaptation’s fidelity. Granted, many people go to such films wanting to see a version of th e original. However, reviewers do a poor job by taking his approach , since faithfulness to the original is irrelevant to the film’s own artistic merit.

Which of the following , if true, most seriously weakens the argument/
a) the central purpose of newspaper reviews of films is to enable readers to find oujt whether they would enjoy seeing the film.
b) Often the attemp to capitalize on a well-known novel’s fame by making a film version backfires, since a long novel’s narrative must be overly compressed to fit a film
c) A film’s artistic merit does not depend on the film s’s relationship to other works of art.
d) Newspaper reviews of films that are not adaptations of well-known books or plays tend to concentrate on issues relevant to the film’s artistic merit
e) Film producers expect adaptations of well-known originals to be more financially successful than other films

16. The axis of Earth’s daily rotation is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit at an angle of roughly 23 degrees. That angle can be kept fairly stable only by the gravitational influence of Earth’s large, nearby Moon. Without such a stable and moderate axis tilt, a planet’s climate is too extreme and unstable to support life. Mars, for example, has only very small moons, tilts at wildly fluctuating angles, and cannot support life.
If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true on the basis of them?
(A) If Mars had a sufficiently large nearby moon, Mars would be able to support life.
(B) If Earth’s Moon were to leave Earth’s orbit, Earth’s climate would be unable to support life.
(C) Any planet with a stable, moderate axis tilt can support life.
(D) Gravitational influences other than moons have little or no effect on the magnitude of the tilt angle of either Earth’s or Mars’s axis.
(E) No planet that has more than one moon can support life

请问A错在何处？B我认为不对啊。B说Earth’s climate would be unable to support life.而文章只说了unstable to support life，因此我认为B不对啊？请指教。谢谢。

11. Whenever a French novel is translated into English, the edition sold
in Britain should be in British English. If the edition sold in Britain
were in American English, its idioms and spellings would appear to
British readers to be strikingly American and thus to conflict with the
novel's setting.

The recommendation is based on which of the following assumptions?


A The authors of French novels are usually native speakers of
French.
B A non-British reader of a novel written in British English will
inevitably fail to understand the meanings of some of the
words and idioms in the novel.
C No French novel that is to be sold in Britain in English translation
is set in the United States.
D A British reader of a British novel will notice that the idioms and
spellings used in the novel are British.
E Most French novels are not translated into both British English
and American English.
