问题 Many state legislatures are considering proposals to the effect that certain policies should be determined not by the legislature itself but by public referenda in which every voter can take part. Critics of the proposals argue that the outcomes of public referenda would be biased, since wealthy special-interest groups are able to influence voters’ views by means of television advertisements. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the critics’ argument?
选项 A、Many state legislators regard public referenda as a way of avoiding voting on issues on which their constituents are divided.
B、During elections for members of the legislature, the number of people who vote is unaffected by whether the candidates run television advertisements or not.
C、Proponents of policies that are opposed by wealthy special-interest groups are often unable to afford advertising time on local television stations.
D、Different special-interest groups often take opposing positions on questions of which policies the state should adopt.
E、Television stations are reluctant to become associated with any one political opinion, for fear of losing viewers who do not share that opinion.
答案 C
解析 本题把since—clause放在后面，一般表示强调。而支持重点支持段落所强调的“since wealthyspecial—interest groups are able to influence voters’views by means of television advertisements”，而选项(C)说明被富人特殊利益集团所反对的政策的拥护者无能力做广告，因此他们无法通过广告影响别人观点，所以富人这样做就有利得多。所以(C)正确。注：to the effect that．．． 大意为…… referenda n．[pl.]全民投票
