Q19:
Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development.  They plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it.  That plan is ill-conceived:  if the farmers did sell their land, they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other bidders.  On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable.  But farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires.  And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.

In the argument as a whole, the two boldface proportions play which of the following roles?

A. The first presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; the second is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection.
B. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attained; the second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion.
C. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes can be attained; the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion.
D. The first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evaluated in the argument; the second is a judgment providing a basis for the argument’s advocacy of a particular strategy.
E. The first presents a goal that the argument endorses; the second presents a situation that the argument contends must be changed if that goal is to be met in the foreseeable future.

答案是D, 但小弟認為是B, 不知大家有何看法

我是这么读原文的：

环境组织想干些什么事情，他们计划通过什么做什么。
这个计划不令人信服：如果农民怎么着了；此外，这些农民还会干嘛干嘛。
然而，耕地不能养活他们，如果农场继续保持不现代化的话，而且大部分的农民缺乏现代化所需的金融资源。这也就是为什么……。

问的是两个斜体字之间的关系。明显第二个斜体字是说明第一句话为什么不信服的一个原因。而第二句话后面转折是原文的观点，明显作者并没有认为这个计划不令人信服；所以b是显然错误的；

A中，第二句话的作用说错了，应该是说明计划不令人信服的原因，而不是决绝认为这个计划不令人信服的原因；

 1.那句意思就是"第二句为整篇argument提倡的那种策略提供了一个基础，”（也就是提供了一个论据的意思）

2、the first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evaluated in the argument.（这句中的which就是指goal,也就是说第一句是goal,实现goal的strategies是在整篇argument中被评价的）

感謝楼主的回覆 不過 還是不大明白 原因如下

1)judgement在"the second is a judgement providing a basis for the argument's advocacy of a particular strategy"是代表什麼意思呢 一般來說judgement意思是說判斷,決定的意思吧

2)再者, 方案二一直到了文中的最後一句才出現 那答案D裡的前半怎麼能說the first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evaludated in the argument呢

請指教

环境组织希望保护 WWA 的环境，免受居民的开发。方案一：买地。这个方法是很差的，

因为：1、农民会把地卖个出价最高的人（开发的人会出价最高，所以环境组织买不到地），

2、如果种地是可行的，农民压根就不卖地。但如果农民unmodernized,种地就不可行，

而modernization的必要条件是 financial resources.  方案二（文中的a more

sensible preservation）帮助农民modernize their farms

所以文中说方案二更可行，因为帮助农民modernize their farms， 农民就不卖地，那么

就禁止了residential development

所以第一句是总的goal,并且有两种strategies在探讨，第二句是反对方案一、支持方案二的
