Shirla: In figure skating competitions that allow amateur and professional skaters to compete against each other, the professionals are bound to have an unfair advantage. After all, most of them became professional only after success on the amateur circuit.
Ron: But that means that it’s been a long time since they’ve had to meet the more rigorous technical standards of the amateur circuit.
Which of the following is most likely a point at issue between Shirla and Ron?
选项
A、Whether there should be figure skating competitions that allow amateur and professional skaters to compete against each other
B、Whether the scores of professional skaters competing against amateurs should be subject to adjustment to reflect the special advantages of professionals
C、Whether figure skaters can successfully become professional before success on the amateur circuit
D、Whether the technical standards for professional figure skating competition are higher than those for amateur figure skating competition
E、Whether professional figure skaters have an unfair advantage over amateur figure skaters in competitions in which they compete against each other
答案
E
解析
To answer this question, we must identify a point on which Shirla and Ron disagree.
Shirla argues that because professional figure skaters who compete against amateur skaters will already have had success on the amateur circuit, the professionals will have an unfair advantage over the amateurs.
Ron, on the other hand, points out that this means that it has been a long time since the professionals have had to meet the more rigorous technical standards of the amateur circuit.
What that indicates is that Ron is countering Shirk’ s reason for thinking that professional figure skaters would have an unfair advantage. However, it is not clear whether Ron is suggesting that amateurs now have an advantage or whether professionals and amateurs would be on a relatively equal plane. It is only clear that Ron disagrees with Shirk’ s claim about professionals having an unfair advantage.
A Shirla believes that professionals would have an unfair advantage. It therefore seems reasonable to conclude that she would oppose figure skating competitions that allow amateur and professional skaters to compete against one another. Nevertheless, she does not specify this and so we cannot be certain. That said, it is even less clear what Ron would say about such competitions. Note that it is unclear where Ron stands with regard to which group actually holds an advantage, if either.
B It is unclear whether Shirla would say that the scores of professional skaters competing against amateur skaters must be adjusted to reflect the professionals’ advantage. It is possible, after all, that Shirla would instead argue that there should be no such competition at all. Ron, on the other hand, simply disagrees with the claim that professionals have an unfair advantage.
C Shirla believes that professional figure skaters will have initially competed on the amateur circuit before becoming professional. There is no indication that Ron disagrees with this.
D Ron believes that the technical standards for professional figure skating competitions are lower, not higher, than those for amateur figure skating. There is no indication that Shirla disagrees with this.
E Correct. Shirla believes that professional figure skaters would have an unfair advantage in competitions with amateur figure skaters; Ron disagrees with this belief.
The correct answer is E.
