Columnist: Until very recently, Presorbin and Veltrex, two medications used to block excess stomach acid, were both available only with a prescription written by a doctor. In an advertisement for Presorbin, its makers argue that Presorbin is superior on the grounds that doctors have written 200 million prescriptions for Presorbin, as compared to 100 million for Veltrex. It can be argued that the number of prescriptions written is never a worthwhile criterion for comparing the merits of medicines, but that the advertisement’s argument is absurd is quite adequately revealed by observing that Presorbin was available as a prescription medicine years before Veltrex was.
In the columnist’s argument, the two highlighted portions play which of the following roles?
选项
A、The first is a claim that the columnist’s argument seeks to clarify; the second states a conclusion drawn about one possible interpretation of that claim.
B、The first identifies the conclusion of an argument that the columnist’s argument is directed against; the second states the main conclusion of the columnist’s argument.
C、The first states the main conclusion of the columnist’s argument; the second states a conclusion that the columnist draws in defending that conclusion against an objection.
D、The first identifies an assumption made in an argument that the columnist’s argument is directed against; the second states the main conclusion of the columnist’s argument.
E、The first is a claim that has been offered as evidence to support a position that the columnist opposes; the second states the main conclusion of the columnist’s argument
答案
B
解析
A.The first is a claim that the columnist’s argument seeks to clarify;the second states a conclusion drawn about one possible interpretation of that claim.第一句话是专栏作家想要澄清的声明;第二句话陈述了一个可能解读那个声明的结论。解析: clarify表示支持顺承的关系。专栏作家在第二个黑体句子中反驳了第一句话,因此分号前错误,不选。
B.The first identifies the conclusion of an argument that the columnist’s argument is directed against;the second states the main conclusion of the columnist’s argument.第一句话指出了专栏作家想要直接反对的结论;第二句话陈述了专栏作家的主要结论。
解析:第一句确实是一个结论,同时在第二个黑体句中反驳了这个结论,分号前正确;第二句话也确实是专栏作家的观点。该选项正确。
C.The first states the main conclusion of the columnist’s argument;the second states a conclusion that the columnist draws in defending that conclusion against an objection.第一句话陈述了专栏作家的主要结论;第二句话陈述了专栏作家用来反对一项反驳的结论。
解析:第一句是广告商的结论,而非专栏作家的。该选项不选。
D.The first identifies an assumption made in an argument that the columnist’s argument is directed against;the second states the main conclusion of the columnist’s argument.第一句指出了专栏作家直接反对的一个假设;第二句陈述了专栏作家的主要结论。
解析:assumption等于原因,而第一句是专栏作家要反对的结论。该选项不选。
E.The first is a claim that has been offered as evidence to support a position that the columnist opposes;the second states the main conclusion of the columnist’s argument.第一句是支持专栏作家所反对的观点的一项证据;第二句陈述了专栏作家的主要结论。
解析:第一句是结论,并非证据,分号前错误。该选项不选。
