Q32:
Newspaper editorial:
In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on criminals and making prison conditions harsher. Part of this effort has been to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses. However, this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal, since after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed.
B. Former inmates are no more likely to commit crimes than are members of the general population.
C. The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released.
D. Taking high school level courses in prison has less effect on an inmate’s subsequent behavior than taking college-level courses does.
E. The governor’s ultimate goal actually is to gain popularity by convincing people that something effective is being done about crime.
這題有兩個答案....A跟C...到底是哪個答案對?
我個人認為C錯的原因在於「 ......not already less likely than other inmates to commit...... 」
not less不是等於more?
因此句意變成囚犯在獄中有唸大學的比沒有唸的在出獄後更容易犯罪?
這跟原題的意思剛好相反吧?

我認為這題的答案是C 沒錯.
The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released.
C選項的意思是說 有修大學課程的inmate 在修課前並沒有比沒有修課的inmate還要不可能犯罪, 也就是說 他們犯罪的可能性在修課前是一樣的, 但是有修課的inmate 就有差異了--
有上過課的inmate相對較不易犯罪.

in c
The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses (有修大學課程的)inmate were not already less likely(不是可能性較低==> 也就是說 :可能性相當亦或更高) than other inmates to commit crimes (( after being released. ))
我的理解是醬 , 跟你的理解 有出入. 請你幫我看一下好嗎 ? 3Q

Hi 魚:
Sorry for making it confused.
My interpretation of this sentence is the possiblity of committing crime for those who took college-level courses is not relatively lower than those who did not take the courses. In other words, the possiblity may be even higher. Your interpretation is right. By the way, I regard "already" as a key word when interpretating the meaing of this sentence. Did you notice that?? It indicates that those two groups are fare to be compared with in terms of possiblity of comming crimes since none of them is less likely to commit crime before taking college courses. --"not alrealy less likely to "
If my interpretation is wrong, please kindly correct me.

A的意思是說服刑期間無法進修大學課程的人不可能阻止他繼續犯罪。引伸-->有進修就不會犯罪(這句的意思希望我沒記錯，因為下課時有點精神不濟)
C的意思是說上過課的受刑人出獄後犯罪的可能性高於沒上過課的人(這句話的解釋是我去問老師的)
所以答案不該是C

同意Grace的解釋,這一題很典型考比較基準必須起碼相同
題目最後的結論為受過課的受刑人犯罪率比較低
問建立在何者假設上??
答案C說明那些選擇要授課的受刑人(並非表示授課後,文中有chose的字眼)其犯罪率本身並沒有比較低...因為若授課前就已經犯罪率比較低,那麼很難說是因為授課的效果而造成犯罪率低
我覺得這一題跟OG中收看電視暴力孩童的那一題很像...做個參考!!

我沒看清楚原句
應該把上過課改成選擇上課
選擇上課的受刑人出獄後犯罪的可能性不會降低

我對 A 的句意有質疑 !
A 的意思應該是 "把不能進修"當成一項逞罰 ,並不能阻赫犯罪率
也就是說----> 警告犯人說 " 以後沒有在獄中進修的福利嚕" ,並不能降低犯罪率
A選項引申的意思 ,不應該是james說的引伸-->有進修就不會犯罪 ,而是=>犯人對能不能進修這項福利,不是十分在意

Behemoth \$m[1]:這題我選a
c就像大家說的,多了個not,所以是錯的
a說不上大學課沒辦法降低犯罪率,所以可當支持結論的前提
而結論是說governor的方法---不上大學課,會有反效果,無法降低犯罪率
其實a就是結論再說一遍囉~
媽媽咪啊 (d3)
我的腦袋有問題嗎 ??????!!!!!!
Ａ 的意思應該是說 犯人不在乎在獄中能不能繼續求學吧
若Ａ為正確選項
邏輯為 ：
假設 ： ＸＸ之狼不在乎獄中能不能繼續求學 (拍謝這題一直讓我想到XX之狼 (H) )
結論 ： 所以 , 頒布獄中求學的禁令與政府的goal (降低犯罪率)相牴觸
這什麼邏輯啊
A 擔然是錯誤滴

這裡應該不是"把不能進修當作一項懲罰"喔
而是說服刑期間沒有進修大學課程的人是無法阻止他出獄後繼續犯罪
也就是說 沒有進修-->出獄後會犯罪，
引身為 有進修-->出獄就不會犯罪
希望我沒把徐天后解釋給我聽的意思誤解了(因為我只是問老師這兩句的意思個別為何？)在聽完翻譯後，我覺得答案是A
