Q40:



Insect infestations in certain cotton-growing regions of the world have caused dramatic



increases in the price of cotton on the world market. By contrast, the price of soybeans



has long remained stable. Knowing that cotton plants mature quickly, many soybean



growers in Ortovia plan to cease growing soybeans and begin raising cotton instead,



thereby taking advantage of the high price of cotton to increase their income significantly,



at least over the next several years.





Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the plan’s chances for success?





A. The cost of raising soybeans has increased significantly over the past several



years and is expected to continue to climb.



B. Tests of a newly developed, inexpensive pesticide have shown it to be both



environmentally safe and effective against the insects that have infested cotton



crops.



C. In the past several years, there has been no sharp increase in the demand for



cotton and for goods made out of cotton.



D. Few consumers would be willing to pay significantly higher prices for cotton



goods than they are now paying.



E. The species of insect that has infested cotton plants has never been known to



attack soybean plants.



Answer: B



可是我觉得应该是C

很容易理解。


虫灾造成价格上升,B说


B. Tests of a newly developed, inexpensive pesticide have shown it to be both



environmentally safe and effective against the insects that have infested cotton



crops


这虫灾很容易就被解决了,因此价格很快就会跌,完美的削弱。

C讲的将来和农民对未来的期望 没关系   过去怎么样也不能说未来会怎么样,GMAT题这种情况都不要考虑!
