Last year,suppor for the social and behavioral sciences repr

Last year,suppor for the social and behavioral sciences represented only about three percent of the govenment's total budget for research fund in the United States.Thus,the particularly sharp reductions imposed on such programs this year seem dictated not by financial constraints but by social philosophy.Which of the following is an assumption on which the conclusion of the passage above is based?(A) The government funds allocated for research in the social and behavioral sciences are not sufficient for the work that needs to be done.(B) The social and behavioral sciences are as valuable as the physical and biological sciences.(C) The current reductions will stop research in the social and behavioral sciences.(D) Government funding is the primary source of research money in the United States.(E) Three percent is an insignificant portion of the government's total budget for research funds.(E)Board member:As a longtime member of the college's board of trustees,I believe that the board has functioned well in the past because each of its members has had a broad range of experience and interests.Thus,if in the future and members are elected primarily to press for a particular policy,such as reducing tuition,the board will function less well.In drawing the conclusion above,the board member must have been making which of the following assumptions?(C) The board functions well because its members are primarily interested in particular academic policies rather than in financial policies such as the level of tuition.(E) Each of the people who would be elected to the board primarily to press for a particular policy lacks a broad range of experience or interests.标准答案为(E),为什么不可以选(C)?Although the ratio of physicians to total population is about tthe same in the United States and Canada,the United States has 33 percent more surgeons per capita.Clearly,this is the reason people in the US undergo 40 percent more operations per capita than do Canadians.The explanation given above rests on an assumption that(A) patients in the US do not have a greater need for surgery than do patients in Canada.(B) the population of the US is not larger than that of Canada.(C) US patients sometimes travel to Canada for certain kins of surgery.(D) general preactitioners in the US do not as arule examine a patient who is a candidate for surgery before sending the patient to surgeon.(E) there are no unnecesssary surgical operations performed in Canada.标准答案为(A)
