问题 Although computers can enhance people’s ability to communicate, computer games are a cause of underdeveloped communication skills in children. After-school hours spent playing computer games are hours not spent talking with people. Therefore, children who spend all their spare time playing these games have less experience in interpersonal communication than other children have. The argument depends on which of the following assumptions?

选项 A、Passive activities such as watching television and listening to music do not hinder the development of communication skills in children.
B、Most children have other opportunities, in addition to after-school hours, in which they can choose whether to play computer games or to interact with other people.
C、Children who do not spend all of their after-school hours playing computer games spend at least some of that time talking with other people.
D、Formal instruction contributes little or nothing to children’s acquisition of communication skills.
E、The mental skills developed through playing computer games do not contribute significantly to children’s intellectual development.

答案C

解析 本题推理为对比推理。因为计算机游戏导致儿童交流技巧发展水平低,所以把所有闲暇都用来玩游戏的孩子比其他儿童有更少的人际交流经验。论据当中并未涉及其他儿童,而论点中涉及儿童时,一定要对论据中未涉及的对象做一个假设。(C)指出其他儿童至少花费了一部分时间交流,且(C)中的“spend at least some of…”与段落中的all相对应,所以做了一个很好的假设,因此(C)正确;(A)易误选,但(A)要想成为一个假设,结论(论点)必须变为“玩游戏阻碍人际交流的发展”,所以(A)为无关选项。
