Shirla: In figure skating competitions that allow amateur and professional skaters to compete against each other, the professionals are bound to have an unfair advantage. After all, most of them became professional only after success on the amateur circuit.
Ron: But that means that it’s been a long time since they’ve had to meet the more rigorous technical standards of the amateur circuit.
Which of the following is most likely a point at issue between Shirla and Ron?
Whether there should be figure skating competitions that allow amateur and professional skaters to compete against each other
Whether the scores of professional skaters competing against amateurs should be subject to adjustment to reflect the special advantages of professionals
Whether figure skaters can successfully become professional before success on the amateur circuit
Whether the technical standards for professional figure skating competition are higher than those for amateur figure skating competition
Whether professional figure skaters have an unfair advantage over amateur figure skaters in competitions in which they compete against each other
shirla说professionals有优势,ron反驳说但这意味着他们已经很长时间没有达到业余比赛更严格的技术标准了。意思就是没优势。所以两人在说这样的比赛公不公平,谁有优势A说两者是否应该一起比赛,无关Bprofessionals分数是否应该调整去反应专业的优势,分数调整无关 C说变成professionals的事,无关 D professional figure skating competition 和 amateur figure skating competition 谁的 technical standards 更高,无关 只有E说了他俩比赛时 professionals有没有优势
完了中文都看不懂了
应该不是很长时间没有达到,而是很长时间不需要去达到更严格的技术标准(long time since they have to meet the more...)

S说有优势 R说无优势----讨论是否有优势
排除D:
题目已经明确说了业余赛要求更高(since they’ve had to meet the more rigorous technical standards of the amateur circuit)。
就不用再问专业赛是否比业余赛的标准更高了【重复条件】
S说有优势 R说无优势----讨论是否有优势
问题是在问:这两人在讨论的点在哪里。她两在讨论的是职业选手和业余选手放一起比赛到底公不公平。
A 是否需要有这样的比赛。 重点不在需不需要这样的比赛,而在赛制公不公平。
B 职业选手的打分要怎样怎样。不是分数的事。
C 是否在业余比赛成功前就能成为职业选手。无关
D 对职业选手的技术标准是否高于业余选手的技术标准。无关
E 在同样的比赛里边,职业选手是否比业余选手占优势。
Shirla argues that because professional figure skaters who compete against amateur skaters will already have had success on the amateur circuit, the professionals will have an unfair advantage over the amateurs.
Ron, points out that this means that it has been a long time since the professionals have had to meet the more rigorous technical standards of the amateur circuit.
Ron is countering Shirla's reason for thinking that professional figure skaters would have an unfair advantage.
