问题 Keith: Compliance with new government regulations requiring the installation of smoke alarms and sprinkler systems in all theaters and arenas will cost the entertainment industry $ 25 billion annually. Consequently, jobs will be lost and profits diminished. Therefore, these regulations will harm the country’s economy. Laura: The $ 25 billion spent by some businesses will be revenue for others. Jobs and profits will be gained as well as lost. Laura responds to Keith by______.
选项 A、demonstrating that Keith’s conclusion is based on evidence that is not relevant to the issue at hand
B、challenging the plausibility of the evidence that serves as the basis for Keith’s argument
C、suggesting that Keith’s argument overlooks a mitigating consequence
D、reinforcing Keith’s conclusion by supplying a complementary interpretation of the evidence Keith cites
E、agreeing with the main conclusion of Keith’s argument but construing that conclusion as grounds for optimism rather than for pessimism
答案C
解析 Keith认为新法规的实施将会导致失业和利润下滑，从而损害国家的经济。Laura指出当一个产业受损失时，其他提供实施该法规所需要货物和服务的产业将会受益。我们要思考的是：Laura在反驳时使用了什么策略?很明显，Laura使用了相同的证据，遵守新法规得耗资250亿美元，但得出了完全不同的结论。Keith注重某一个产业的损失，而Laura则看到了其他产业的收益。通过指出Keith没有提及的一个因素，她比较正面地评价了该法规所产生的后果。(C)为正确答案，因为Laura指出Keith没有考虑到在这种情况下，一个产业的损失意味着其他个产业将会由此而受益，正确地表明了Laura在驳斥时所使用的策略。(A)不正确，因为Laura接受了Keith的证据，并且她自己也使用该证据，并指出某些产业花费的250亿美元会使其他的相关产业受益。(B)不正确，因为Laura没有质疑Keith的证据，她使用相同的证据来支持自己的论断。(D)不正确，因为Laura否认Keith的观点，而不是支持他的结论。当Keith指出失业和利润下滑损害经济时，Laura指出工作和利润减少的同时也会有所增加。(E)不正确，因为Laura并没有同意Keith的新法规会损害经济的观点，相反她辩论说其他产业的收益将会补偿该产业的损失。
