An assumption is something taken for granted. Everyone makes assumptions--you have to in order to say anything. As a critical reader, you need to determine what the assumption is and then decide whether you agree or disagree with the assumption. Once you decide, your attitude toward the argument will change. Careful, honest writers know what their assumptions are and lay the most important ones out for all to judge. Hidden assumptions may be all right for humor or fairly harmless in topical journalism, but they can be dangerous in serious written argument. Important assumptions should be explicit and detailed, for then the reader can judge their validity. If you do not agree with a writer’s assumptions, then you will never agree with his/her arguments,
As indicated above, an assumption is a belief that we take for granted as a basis for an assertion, All kinds of statements rely on assumptions--questions, commands, promises, and assertions. The simple command "Pass the salt" is based on several assumptions, including that the salt can be passed, that you can pass it, and that I have the right to ask you to pass it. Some assumptions are unexpressed. We would be the joke of the neighbourhood if we went around articulating our assumptions every time we asked someone to pass the salt. We get into trouble, however, when we fail to recognize important assumptions that subtly guide our thoughts. Sophocles said, "Reason is God’s crowning gift to man." A statement like this seems innocent enough. When we think about it, we easily recognize that he was basing the statement on two major assumptions: (1) that man has a mind, and (2) that God exists. Hidden in the statement, however, are some subtle assumptions that we may or may not support, including; (1) God is a personal force capable of making a gift; (2) reason is a more important gift than heart, soul, or body; and (3) woman’s mind is not a gift of God. Once we articulate these assumptions, we might disagree. (339) [br] What can we infer from the passage?
选项
A、A good writer should clearly state all his assumptions.
B、Once we find assumptions, we will find the writer’s problems.
C、We need not clearly express our assumptions in oral communication.
D、Major assumptions are important for both the writer and the reader.
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。在四个选项中,B、C两项是文中所没有涉及的话题,也不可能成为要推理得出的结果。 A,D两项是与主题相关的话题,文章在第一段的三、四句首先强调了研究假设对读者的重要性,紧接着第五句提到对作者的重要性。因此,最全面的回答应该是D。
