问题 In the country of Laurelia, legal restrictions on the sale of lock-picking equipment were relaxed ten years ago, and since then Laurelia’s burglary rate has risen dramatically. Hence, since legally purchased lock-picking equipment was used in most burglaries, reintroducing strict limits on the sale of this equipment would help to reduce Laurelia’s burglary rate. Which of the following, if true, gives the strongest support to the argument?
选项 A、Laurelia’s overall crime rate has risen dramatically over the last ten years.
B、There is wide popular support in Laurelia for the reintro-duction of strict limits on the sale of lock-picking equipment.
C、The reintroduction of strict limits on the sale of lock-picking equipment in Laurelia would not prevent legitimate use of this equipment by police and other public safety officials.
D、Most lock-picking equipment used in Laurelia is fragile and usually breaks irreparably within a few years of purchase .
E、The introduction five years ago of harsher punishments for people convicted of burglary had little effect on Laurelia’s burglary rate.
答案 D
解析 支持题型要寻求一个选项，使得结论成立的可能性增大，因此在很多情况下用结论关键词定位答案。本题结论为“重新引入对销售该设备的严格限制将有助于减少Laurelia国的盗窃发生率”，关键词为“equipment”。(D)指出这种设备易坏，说明重新引入此设备的限制确实能够起到减少犯罪的作用，即使那些拥有此设备的盗窃犯不久以后也不会再拥有该设备，支持了本题的结论；(A)无关；(B)、(C)虽有此关键词，但起不到支持作用；(E)易误选，但除了限制以外的方法不起作用并不能支持此方法能够起作用。
