Q32:
Newspaper editorial:
In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditions harsher. Part of this effort has been to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses. However, this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal, since after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
- A Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed.
- B Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.
- C The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released.
- D Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate’s subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.
- E The governor’s ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime.
答案是C,但是对A能不能这么理解:
小混混们本来要犯罪,结果想到现在进去了就不能上学了,蹲几年青春就废了,深感关系重大,于是他们就不犯罪了,从而不让犯人上学期到了阻吓的目的,减少了犯罪
小报评论员没有看到这个可能性,所以做了一个不存在的assumption
thnx
