标题: OG12-66纠结 [打印本页] 作者: kobe198879 时间: 2010-11-10 20:31 标题: OG12-66纠结 To protect certain fledgling industries, the government of Country Z banned imports of the types of products those industries were starting to make. As a direct result, the cost of those products to the buyers, several export-dependent industries in Z, went up, sharply limiting the ability of those industries to compete effectively in their export markets.
Which of the following conclusions about Country Z’s adversely affected export-dependent industries is best supported by the passage?
(A) Profit margins in those industries were not high enough to absorb the rise in costs mentioned above.
(B) Those industries had to contend with the fact that other countries banned imports from Country Z.
(C) Those industries succeeded in expanding the domestic market for their products.
(D) Steps to offset rising materials costs by decreasing labor costs were taken in those industries.
(E) Those industries started to move into export markets that they had previously judged unprofitable.
C选项为什么不对，答案中的those industries 指的是谁？？？我觉得应该是fledgling industries，结论应该是在国内这些企业非常成功，A选项我觉得推不出来啊？？作者: sdcar2010 时间: 2010-11-10 21:50
"Those industries" refer to "export-dependent industries in Z" since both phrases are in the same sentence.
If the export-dependent industries in Z cannot compete effectively due to the rising cost of the imported product, surely answer A describes one possible reason.作者: candywyy123 时间: 2010-11-19 21:25
这个应该是conclusion题吧（文章支持选项），但是楼上写的我看不懂也。。。作者: wyqmg2011 时间: 2011-1-21 13:29
深表同意，如果这个题归为找premise或assumption就对了，偏偏搞个draw conclusion当然思路怎么都不能搭。。。。郁闷作者: sdcar2010 时间: 2011-1-21 22:00
This is an inference question.作者: tracycd 时间: 2011-1-22 11:01
我觉得是这样的。C项里的“those industries”指的是受到贸易保护的新兴产业，与题目要求不符。题目要选的是由“export-dependent industries ”受到影响得出的结论。选项A，这些出口导向型产业在政策影响下原料成本上升就会导致竞争力下降，从而可能得出它们本身利润空间就不够大的结论。 汗我也是菜鸟一个，抛砖引玉来了作者: 20110102 时间: 2011-1-22 19:15
C选项中的thoses industries 指的是several export-dependent industries in Z 文章的结论应该是 政府的计划sharply limiting the ability of those industries to compete effectively in their export markets.
(A) Profit margins in those industries were not high enough to absorb the rise in costs mentioned above. 正确。因为如果cost变高了的话一定会影响profit margin (B) Those industries had to contend with the fact that other countries banned imports from Country Z. 这个和other countries，import 没有关系。 (C) Those industries succeeded in expanding the domestic market for their products. 无关 (D) Steps to offset rising materials costs by decreasing labor costs were taken in those industries. labor cost从头到尾都没有提过。无关。 (E) Those industries started to move into export markets that they had previously judged unprofitable. 说他们现在经营状况很难。没有提到他们之后的动向。何况装移到unprofitable更赔钱。。作者: scallet 时间: 2011-1-23 17:13

如果是Inference 类型题的话，偶的理解题干是原因，选项是结论或结果，但是你在上述的回复讲A选项是其中之一原因。是不是有点矛盾啊。比较晕......作者: sdcar2010 时间: 2011-1-23 21:15
Inference question is a Must-Be-True type of question, which is 100% true based on the stimulus. In other words, if stimulus is right, the answer for an inference question MUST be right. Choice A is 100% true based on the stimulus.作者: tintinc 时间: 2011-3-11 05:16
sdcar大大每次都一阵见血！
我选了B，从题干中sharply limiting the ability of those industries to compete effectively in their export markets 是不是错在：价格增长出口优势相应减少，但并不表明Z就100%打算出口这些产品？在A绝对正确的情况下，B就淘汰了？作者: sdcar2010 时间: 2011-3-11 05:29
There is no mention of "other countries banned imports from Country Z" in the stimulus. Therefore, B is not must be true, according to the stimulus.作者: tintinc 时间: 2011-3-11 06:57
我窘，选项不一样。我问的是老Prep cr2 选项如下
oldprep-cr2-64
64.(33999-!-item-!-188;#058&007610)
To protect certain fledgling industries, the government of country Z banned imports of the types of products those industries were starting to make.As a direct result, the cost of those products to the buyers, several export-dependent industries in Z, went up, sharply limiting the ability of those industries to compete effectively in their export markets.
Which of the following can be most properly inferred from the passage about the products whose importation was banned?
(A) Those products had been cheaper to import than they were to make within country Z's fledgling industries.
(B) Those products were the ones that country Z was hoping to export in its turn, once the fledgling industries matured.
(C) Those products used to be imported from just those countries to which country Z's exports went.
(D) Those products had become more and more expensive to import, which resulted in a foreign trade deficit just before the ban.
(E) Those products used to be imported in very small quantities, but they were essential to country Z's economy.作者: sdcar2010 时间: 2011-3-11 07:24
A is the right answer again.
There is no mention of the "intent to export" those products in the stimulus, either at present or in the future.作者: tintinc 时间: 2011-3-11 16:54

我也觉得是推断题，但是manhattan里面把它归在draw a conclusion里面了。是不是可以理解成draw a conclusion里面的推断题呢？ 另外must be true是不是可以用在很多题型呢 比如说assumption conclusion.突然想问为什么会把must be true归为一类题呢？作者: 阿七七四十九 时间: 2011-7-17 23:20
问一个关于题干的问题， the cost of those products to the buyers， went up（对于买家来说 这些产品的成本增加了), 这句话我怎么觉得应该是the cost to the buyers of those products, went up（成本 对于这些产品的卖家来说 增加了）才对呢. 当时这句话看得我迷糊就没弄明白buyers是干嘛的。 求解答呢。。。作者: Heather_Lau 时间: 2011-7-17 23:44
其实题目就是问我们从这个argument里面能得出什么样的inference.推断题推断题,至于conclusion,题目都给了. 结论是政府的那个政策导致成本上升,最终限制了某些产业在出口市场的竞争力. 因为成本上升,边际收益又不足以compensate for the increased cost, 所以在出口市场的竞争力就下降了. 所以正确答案是A. C跟题目是irrelevant的.作者: 纳寻寻 时间: 2011-8-6 00:31
关于A选项的意思我有点不理解，是说“随着cost的上涨，profit没有同样上涨来维持以前的利润水平”还是说“cost的上涨已经导致亏损了”呢？如果是后者的话，是否就不能从题干中推出这个结论呢？谢谢作者: justeva 时间: 2012-2-28 20:06
@ls cost上涨，profit随之下降，那么由于profit margins较小，就无法与其他公司竞争 并没有说是否亏损
我也是菜鸟一个，抛砖引玉来了
