标题: GWD6-Q20求救!!! [打印本页] 作者: coffeeqoo 时间: 2012-3-26 16:14 标题: GWD6-Q20求救!!! Five years ago, as part of a plan to encourage citizens of Levaska to increase the amount of money they put into savings, Levaska’s government introduced special savings accounts in which up to $3,000 a year can be saved with no tax due on the interest unless money is withdrawn before the account holder reaches the age of sixty-five. Millions of dollars have accumulated in the special accounts, so the government’s plan is obviously working. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. A substantial number of Levaskans have withdrawn at least some of the money they had invested in the special accounts. B. Workers in Levaska who already save money in long-term tax-free accounts that are offered through their workplace cannot take advantage of the special savings accounts introduced by the government. C. The rate at which interest earned on money deposited in regular savings accounts is taxed depends on the income bracket of the account holder. D. Many Levaskans who already had long-term savings have steadily been transferring those savings into the special accounts. E. Many of the economists who now claim that the government’s plan has been successful criticized it when it was introduced.作者: xn8510 时间: 2012-3-26 19:11
答案是什么呢?是B么?作者: coffeeqoo 时间: 2012-3-26 19:16
是D,我选的也是B~作者: xn8510 时间: 2012-3-26 20:42
哦~~我想,似乎应该这样理解: 首先,要弄清题目的逻辑链:政府计划鼓励居民增加储蓄—因为special accounts里积聚了许多钱(原因)—所以,政府的计划(鼓励居民增加储蓄)明显地实现了。 逻辑链也可以这样写:因为special accounts里汇集了许多dollars—所以,便可认为居民增加了储蓄。
关于选项B: “已经将钱存入另一个免税账户的居民,并不能将钱转到special accounts里”。其实,单独看,该选项也是对的。但是放在这里,与原文内容无关。因为,它只是指出了该plan的一个弊端,与上面的逻辑链并无关系,也不能推翻上面的逻辑链。因此,可以认为是无关选项。 如果将原文的首句话改为:...a plan to enable citizens of L to increase the amount of money they put into the special accounts.... B选项就对了。
