第3题：
2. Which of the following is implied in the first paragraph?
［A］ People used to be forced to work under whips.
［B］ The author dislikes the function of politics in economy.
［C］ Incentives are always less available than regulations.
［D］ People have an instinct of working less and getting more.
本题考查推理引申。第一段第二句提到，要找到一种新的经济激励手段来取代传统的饥饿处罚。该段第三句分析了饥饿处罚不再起作用的社会原因，即，这个新社会将经济与政治混为一谈，否认经济秩序的自治权。因此作者对于政治对经济的干预是反感的，［B］在第一段中有所暗示。这种暗示在第二段第一句中“我承认对于社会某个部门可能拥有劳动力管理的最终权力感到恐惧”得到了证实。［A］是根据文中出现的whip（鞭）一词编造出来的选项。其实，whip在本文中是比喻用法，指的是“激励、鞭策手段”。文中只提到incentives，但未将它与regulations作比较，［C］错误。［D］在文中未涉及。
