参考答案

答案解析
该题为细节题。根据第三段第二、三句“0ne argument isthat voting does have significance,if not in individual impact,thenin group pressure.Because citizens collectively have the power togive or withhold votes,they directly control the term in office of e-lected officials.”可知,一个争论就是投票确实是有意义的,要么是个人影响力的关系,要么是集体压力。因为全体公民有权利投票或不投票,因此他们直接控制着被选上官员的条件。由此可推断出,人们之所以去投票是因为他们觉得他们的集体意愿会对选举有影响,故B选项最符合文意。A选项“人们去投票是因为他们认为他们有责任投票”在第三段中并没有提到.故A选项不正确。C选项“是因为想要表现每个个人的力量和影响”与文中“One argument is…if not in individual impact”不符,故C选项不正确。D选项“是因为人们不想冒失业的危险”与文中第三段最后一句“Even if the choice is…he or she must strive to avoiddispleasing the constituents to lose the job”中he or she指代的是那些被选上的人,而非选举人,故D选项与文意不符,故选B。
