A major network news organization experienced a drop in viewership in the week following the airing of a controversial report on the economy. The network also received a very large number of complaints regarding the report. The network, however, maintains that negative reactions to the report had nothing to do with its loss of viewers. 一个很大的网络新闻机构在播出了关于经济的争议性报告之后，观众数量下降了。而且这个网络还收到了很多关于那个报告的控诉。然而，那个网络机构认为对那个报告的负面反应并不是造成观众大量流失的原因。
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the network’s position?
以下哪一项，如果成立的话，可以支持网络机构的观点?
(A) The other major network news organizations reported similar reductions in viewership during the same week.
其他的网络新闻机构在同一个周内经历了相同的观众的下降。
(B) The viewers who registered complaints with the network were regular viewers of the news organization’s programs.
那些对这个报告提出控诉的观众都是经常看那个新闻节目的观众。
(C) Major network news organizations publicly attribute drop in viewership to their own reports only when they receive complaints about those reports.
只有当新闻机构受到关于那些报告的控诉的时候，他才会把观众的下降归因于那个报告。
(D) This was not the first time that this network news organization has aired a controversial report on the economy that has inspired viewers to complain to the network.
这并不是这个新闻机构第一次因为播放了有争议性的经济报告而收到控诉。
(E) Most network news viewers rely on network news broadcasts as their primary source of information regarding the economy.
大部分的网络新闻的观众通常会把网络播放的新闻作为他们获得经济相关信息的首要信息来源。
解释：这是一道加强题，加强的观点是并不是因为播放了有争议性的经济报告而造成观众数量的下降。形似加强实则削弱。
A 这说明其他新闻机构都经历了观众数量的下降，也就是说观众数量的下降也就是说那个新闻机构的观众数量下降并不是由于报道了有争议性的经济报告，而是大趋势所致，他因削弱。正确。
B 是不是经常看的观众无关，无关选项。
C 这是更加说明观众数量的下降是由于有争议性的经济报道。
D 虽然提出了同因，但是没有说之前观众的数量有没有下降。
E 是不是首要信息来源并不重要，无关选项。 |
