　　思考题：

　　The rule by the Canadian court is called “historic” mainly for _____

　　法庭的判决被成为是历史性的，主要原因是：

　　(A) the compensation for justices in damages.

　　(法官们损失的赔偿)(这个选项太魔幻了吧!完全不对。)

　　(B) the sum of money involved with awarding.

　　(赔偿的金额)(不是主要原因!)

　　(C)the profits being put before court’s decision.

　　(利润被放到了法庭的决定之前)(这是偷换!)

　　(D) the concern about public health and responsibility.

　　(正确答案)

　　有的时候没有套路反而成为了一种套路，但是最好的办法就是以不变应万变，找到文中线索句：最后一句：not just for the compensation for victims but also for public health and accountability". Not just for… but for…but for= mainly for!所以 public health and accountability= public health and responsibility 完美替换!
