19. Industrialists from the country Distopia were
accused of promoting the Distopian intervention in
the Arcadian civil war merely to insure that the
industrialists' facilities in Arcadia made substantial
profits during the war. Yet this cannot be the motive
since, as the Distopians foresaw, Distopia's federal
expenses for the intervention were eight billion
dollars, whereas, during the war, profits from the
Distopian industrialists’ facilities in Arcadia totaled
only four billion dollars.

Which of the following, if true, exposes a serious
flaw in the argument made in the second sentence
above?

(A) During the Arcadian war, many Distopian
industrialists with facilities located in Arcadia
experienced a significant rise in productivity
in their facilities located in Distopia
(B) The largest proportion of Distopia's federal
expenses is borne by those who receive no
significant industrial profits.
(C) Most Distopian industrialists' facilities located
in Arcadia are expected to maintain the level
of profits they achieved during the war.


(D) Distopian industrialists' facilities in Arcadia
made substantial profits before the events
that triggered the civil war.
(E) Many Distopians expressed concern over the
suffering that Arcadians underwent during
the civil war.

SECTION 11- 6
6. F: We ought not to test the safety of new drugs on
  sentient animals, such as dogs and rabbits. Our
  benefit means their pain, and they are equal to
  us in the capacity to feel pain.

G: We must carry out such tests; otherwise, we
  would irresponsibly sacrifice the human lives
  that could have been saved by the drugs.

Which of the following, if true, is the best objection
that could be made from F's point of view to coun-
ter G's point?
(A) Even though it is not necessary for people to
use cosmetics, cosmetics are also being tested
on sentient animals.
(B) Medical science already has at its disposal a
great number of drugs and other treatments
for serious illnesses.
(C) It is not possible to obtain scientifically ade-
quate results by testing drugs in the test tube,
without making tests on living tissue.
(D) Some of the drugs to be tested would save
human beings from great pain.
(E) Many tests now performed on sentient animals
can be performed equally well on fertilized
chicken eggs that are at a very early stage of
development.

ANSWER E
为什么A 不对啊？
E只是说了MANY，并没有说ALL的TEST啊！

答案就应该是B.因为文中指出国家的花费超过商人们的收入,因此,利润不是商人们的动机,政府也就更不可能被商人们鼓动因此干涉他国的内战.B说明商人的利润和国家的收入是不相关的,国家花费巨大而商人得利,因此,这个对动机的否定是站不住脚的.而C的不足在于,即使商人的动机在于此后的获利,它还是没有解释原文中用国家支出和企业获利来衡量得失的缺陷.
