问题 The fire that destroyed the Municipal Building started before dawn this morning, and the last fire fighters did not leave until late this afternoon. No one could have been anywhere in the vicinity of a fire like that one and fail to notice it. Thomas must have seen it, whatever he now says to the contrary. He admits that, as usual, he went from his apartment to the library this morning, and there is no way for him to get from his apartment to the library without going past the Municipal Building. The main conclusion of the argument is that

选项 A、Thomas was in the vicinity of the fire this morning.
B、Thomas claimed not to have seem the fire.
C、Thomas saw the fire this morning.
D、Thomas went directly from his apartment to the library this morning.
E、Thomas went by the Municipal Building this morning.

答案 C

解析 读明白问题永远最重要,本题让寻找可以作为论述的main conclusion的选项,所以(C)正确。Thomas今天早晨从他的公寓出发去了图书馆,而市政大楼是Thomas从公寓到图书馆的必经之路,因此我们可以推出,Thomas今天早晨从市政大楼前经过,但它只是论述前提的一个推论,所以(E)不可能为正确选项;因为黎明前是一个很笼统的时间概念,单从此我们很难判定Thomas是在火灾发生前还是在火灾发生后经过了市政大楼,因此(A)、(B)二选项都是不一定正确的结论,(D)不能从段落中合理地推出,因此为错误选项。
