问题 A person who agrees to serve as mediator between two warring factions at the request of both abandons by so agreeing the right later to take sides. To take sides at a later point would be to suggest that the earlier presumptive impartiality was a sham. The passage above emphasizes which of the following points about mediators?
选项 A、They should try to form no opinions of their own about any issue that is related to the dispute.
B、They should not agree to serve unless they are committed to maintaining a stance of impartiality.
C、They should not agree to serve unless they are equally acceptable to all parties to a dispute.
D、They should feel free to take sides in the dispute right from the start, provided that they make their biases publicly known.
E、They should reserve the right to abandon their impartiality so as not to be open to the charge of having been deceitful.
答案B
解析 笔者让一位美国考生练习本题，他很快就选出(B)，因为他觉得(B)与段落第一句话完全吻合，只不过是变了一种说法。本题难度主要在于阅读，当阅读较难时，一般通过抓主、谓、宾来把握句子架构。第一个句子的主语是“A person”，谓语是“abandon”，宾语是“the right”。若用A表示“一个人同意做调解人”，用B表示“放弃偏袒一方的权利”，那么第一句话可以表示为A→B。而(B)的not A unless B也为“A→B”，“maintain a stance of impartiality”为第一句中的“abandon the right”的同义重现，所以(B)正确；(A)易误选，但一个人有自己的观点与是否偏袒是两码事，所以(A)不正确。
