问题 The function of government is to satisfy the genuine wants of the masses, and government cannot satisfy those wants unless it is informed about what those wants are. Freedom of speech ensures that such information will reach the ears of government officials. Therefore, freedom of speech is indispensable for a healthy state. Which one of the following, if true, would NOT undermine the conclusion of the argument?
选项 A、People most often do not know what they genuinely want.
B、Freedom of speech tends ultimately to undermine social order, and social order is a prerequisite for satisfying the wants of the masses.
C、The proper function of government is not to satisfy wants, but to provide equality of opportunity.
D、Freedom of speech is not sufficient for satisfying the wants of the masses: social order is necessary as well.
E、Rulers already know what the people want.
答案 D
解析 读题时注意问题目的中的“NOT”。本题的结论为，言论自由是一个国家健康发展的一个必要条件。(D)说明言论自由不是一个国家健康发展的充分条件，因此从某种程度上对本题的结论构成了支持，因此(D)为正确答案。本题的逻辑关系为，在言论自由的条件下，人民能自由表达他们的需求，政府官员从而能了解到人民的需求，然后政府就可以根据人民的需求来履行它的功能。由此可以推出，如果人民不知道它们真正需要什么，那么给予他们言论自由对一个国家的健康发展来说是没用的；如果政府已经知道了人民的真正需求，那么在没有言论自由的条件下，政府照样可以正确履行它的功能。因此(A)、(E)均对本题的结论构成了反对，为错误选项。选项(B)、(C)通过找他因对本题的结论构成了反对，因此也是错误选项。
