问题 People cannot be morally responsible for things over which they have no control. Therefore, they should not be held morally responsible for any inevitable consequences of such things, either. Determining whether adults have any control over the treatment they are receiving can be difficult. Hence in some cases it can be difficult to know whether adults bear any moral responsibility for the way they are treated. Everyone, however sometimes acts in ways that are an inevitable consequence of treatment received as an infant, and infants clearly cannot control, and so are not morally responsible for, the treatment they receive. Anyone making the claims above would be logically committed to which one of the following further claims?
选项 A、An infant should never be held morally responsible for an action that infant has performed.
B、There are certain commonly performed actions for which no one performing those actions should ever be held morally responsible.
C、Adults who claim that they have no control over the treatment they are receiving should often be held at least partially responsible for being so treated.
D、If a given action is within a certain person’s control that person should be held morally responsible for the consequences of that action.
E、No adult should be held morally responsible for every action he or she performs.
答案 E
解析 本题的结论是：从道义上讲，人们不能对他们无法控制的事情负责。文中又提及，每一个成年人都有无法控制他们行为的时候。由以上两点我们很容易进一步推出没有哪位成年人应该对他的或她的每一个行为都负道义上的责任，也即(E)为正确答案；(D)是段落中的结论的逆命题，因此不一定正确；(A)选项过于绝对化；(B)和(C)都提及了短文中未涉及的新内容，因此都是错误选项。
