单选题 Why should the government, rather than industry or universities, provide the money to put a network of supercomputers in place? Because there is a range of problems that can be attacked only with the massive data-managing capacity of a supercomputer network. No business or university has the resources to purchase by itself enough machines for a whole network, and no business or university wants to invest in a part of a network if no mechanism exists for coordinating establishment of the network as a whole.
Which one of the following indicates a weakness in the argument?

A、 It does not furnish a way in which the dilemma concerning the establishment of the network can be resolved.
B、 It does not establish the impossibility of creating a supercomputer network as an international network.
C、 It fails to address the question of who would maintain the network if the governments, rather than industry or universities provides the money for establishing it.
D、 It takes for granted and without justification that it would enhance national preeminence in science for the government to provide the network.
E、 (E) It overlooks the possibility that businesses or universities, or both, could cooperate to build the network.

【正确答案】 E

【答案解析】[解析] 本题段落论述所犯的一个致命的逻辑错误就是认为对某个个体适用的原则，对包含这个个体的整体或整体的一部分也适用。单个企业或学校不具有购买整个网络的机器的财力，但是多个企业，多个学校或多个企业与多个学校联合就有可能具备购买整个网络的财力。因此上述论述忽视了企业或大学或它们两者可以合作建设网络的可能性，也即选项(E)为正确答案。(A)、(B)、(C)和(D)都与本题的论述无关。
