[Critical Reasoning]
试题详情
题目：
Criminologist: Some legislators advocate mandating a sentence of life in prison for anyone who, having twice served sentences for serious crimes, is subsequently convicted of a third serious crime. These legislators argue that such a policy would reduce crime dramatically, since it would take people with a proven tendency to commit crimes off the streets permanently. What this reasoning overlooks, however, is that people old enough to have served two prison sentences for serious crimes rarely commit more than one subsequent crime. Filling our prisons with such individuals would have exactly the opposite of the desired effect, since it would limit our ability to incarcerate younger criminals, who commit a far greater proportion of serious crimes.
In the argument as a whole, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
选项:
A、The first is a conclusion that the argument as a whole seeks to refute; the second is a claim that has been advanced in support of that conclusion.
B、The first is a conclusion that the argument as a whole seeks to refute; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.
C、The first is the main conclusion of the argument; the second is an objection that has been raised against that conclusion.
D、The first is the main conclusion of the argument; the second is a prediction made on the basis of that conclusion.
E、The first is a generalization about the likely effect of a policy under consideration in the argument; the second points out a group of exceptional cases to which that generalization does not apply.
答案:
B
提问：
对boldface题就没有建立起做题思路，是应该按照阅读的跳读来做吗？
因为：两个黑体句子之间，就算有however，也不一定是相反；所以每次都不放心的将原文中每句话读个大概。
这种做法会比较浪费时间吗？有没有更简单的方法？

这道题我的思路是前面那个句子提出的观点，后面肯定是反驳它的，因为有however这个词的存在，所以A和D可以排除。然后看到C选项中说前面那个句子是这个argument的main conclusion，但是很显然however后面的内容才是文章的主要观点，所以C也可以被排除。剩下B和E，我不是很清楚该怎么选择了。希望老师能给予指导，谢谢！
