问题 Even though most universities retain the royalties from faculty members’ inventions, the faculty members retain the royalties from books and articles they write. Therefore, faculty members should retain the royalties from the educational computer software they develop. The conclusion above would be more reasonably drawn if which of the following were inserted into the argument as an additional premise?

选项 A、Royalties from inventions are higher than royalties from educational software programs.
B、Faculty members are more likely to produce educational software programs than inventions.
C、Inventions bring more prestige to universities than do books and articles.
D、In the experience of most universities, educational software programs are more marketable than are books and articles.
E、In terms of the criteria used to award royalties, educational software programs are more nearly comparable to books and articles than to inventions.

答案E

解析 该短文得出结论,在考虑教职员工工作成就的版税时,软件应当同书和文章一样对待,而不是同发明一样对待。该结论要求一个补充的前提,说明软件在相关方面,与书和文章比比与发明比有更大的可比性。选项(E)提供了这种前提,并因此成为正确答案。选项(A)、(B)、(C)和(D),相反地,每一项都描述了软件和发明之间[选项(A)和(B)],或发明与书和文章之间[选项(C)],或软件与书和文章之间[选项(D)]的区别,但是都没有在发明软件与书和文章之间建立起要求的联系。
