问题 Mayor: Four years ago when we reorganized the city police department in order to save money, critics claimed that the reorganization would make the police less responsive to citizens and would thus lead to more crime. The police have compiled theft statistics from the years following the reorganization that show that the critics were wrong. There was an overall decrease in reports of thefts of all kinds, including small thefts. Which of the following, if true, most seriously challenges the mayor’s argument?

选项 A、When city police are perceived as unresponsive, victims of theft are less likely to report thefts to the police.
B、The mayor’s critics generally agree that police statistics concerning crime reports provide the most reliable available data on crime rates.
C、In other cities where police departments have been similarly reorganized, the numbers of reported thefts have generally risen following reorganization.
D、The mayor’ s reorganization of the police department failed to save as much money as it was intended to save.
E、During the four years immediately preceding the reorganization, reports of all types of theft had been rising steadily in comparison to reports of other crimes.

答案A

解析 本题为反对题型,上面推理是:统计资料表明包括小偷小摸在内的各种偷盗报告普遍减少,因此4年前的重组有效,属于“B,A”型。反对多用“有他因”来反对。(A)指出当警察局被认为不负责时,偷盗的受害者不愿意向警察局报告偷盗事故,从而说明了偷盗报告减少是有其他原因的,所以(A)反对了结论;(B)为明显支持选项;(C)探讨的是其他城市情况,与我们讨论的城市无关;(D)与“重组有效与否”无关;(E)探讨的是“重组之前的4年”而非“4年之前的重组”,所以也为无关选项。
