标题: OG-104, thank you!
D, the best answer, is the first one that I excluded ;)

OG104 kEY: (D.)

Spending on R&D by US businesses for 1984 showed an increase of about 8
percent over 1983 level. This increase actually continued a downward trend
evident since 1981-when outlays for R&D increased 16.4 percent over 1980
spending. Clearly, the 25 percent tax credit enacted by Congress in 1981,
which was intended to promote spending on R&D, did little or nothing to
stimulate such spending.

The conclusion of the argument above cannot be true unless which of the
following is true?

D. In the absense of the 25 percent tax credit, business spending for
R&D after 1981 would not have been substantially lower than it was.

E. Tax credits marked for specific investments are rarely effective in
including businesses to make those investments.

D is just another way to demonstrate 'which was intended to promote spending on R&D, did little or nothing to stimulate such spending'.

谢谢chipmunk! 明白。

题目一个否定结论，问题中又是一个否定句，再加上一个unless，彻底绕晕。翻译成中文写在纸上以后，才搞清楚到底是问25%有用还是没用。

没有25%的税时，企业花在科研和开发的费用并不比原来的低。对吗？
==》25%的税没有用。

BTW，这种题目是假设的一种问法。

(D) In the absence of the 25% tax credit, business spending for research and development after 1981 would not have been substantially lower than it was............"it was" 指代的是增长率还是83年的投入值?) 我认为是83年的投入值. 如果这样,D就不是很严谨.

如果D答案改写为 In the absence of the 25% tax credit, the increase rate of business spending for research and development after 1981 would not have been substantially lower than it was. ,那么,我认为D答案更严谨.

请各位指点

请各位指点

改写后意思不对,因为虚拟语气的意思是"如果没有税收减免,spending比实际高",不是比其他年度高,我知道你理解成"边际"的概念啦

我觉得这道题在考试时候迅速的判断:连接spending和tax credit的答案只有D~~~

作者: allen0018 时间: 2006-5-23 16:09

作者: glgry 时间: 2006-9-29 09:53

D项有错：“would not have been substancially lower"中的not应该去掉。解释中重复了D项的意思，“would be even lower"。这样才能理解。

Please disregard the upper note.

我的理解

D: 没有25%的税时，企业花在科研和开发的费用并不比原来的低==有25%的税时, 企业花在科研和开发的费用still比原来的低==》25%的税did little or nothing to stimulate such spending

tax credit:

a direct reduction in tax liability (not dependent on the taxpayer's tax bracket)

作者: melior 时间: 2007-4-7 08:14
A tax credit is an amount of money on which you do not have to pay tax.

作者: easy4meeeeee 时间: 2007-7-12 18:57

Without the 25% tax, it would not be lower, means, even with the 25%tax, it will be lower. So, answer D closely match the conclusion:

did little or nothing to stimulate such spending.

我就是不明白, 这样的答案算assumption 题的哪一类答案呢. 架桥肯定不是, 排除它因吗?

作者: wldragon6 时间: 2007-8-30 21:45

我的理解是：

题目中说的是花费在R&D上的经费的比例是在逐年下降的，但D中说的是花费应该指的是数量而非比例吧。不知道我这么理解对不对？

我觉得D是加强，E才是假设。

晕了～～
