大全-7-20

20.   One analyst predicts that Hong Kong can retain its capitalist ways after it becomes part of mainland China in 1997 as long as a capitalist Hong Kong is useful to China; that a capitalist Hong Kong will be useful to China as long as Hong Kong is prosperous; and that Hong Kong will remain prosperous as long as it retains its capitalist ways.

If the predictions above are correct, which of the following further predictions can logically be derived from them?

(A) If Hong Kong fails to stay prosperous, it will no longer remain part of mainland China.

(B) If Hong Kong retains its capitalist ways until 1997, it will be allowed to do so afterward.

(C) If there is a world economic crisis after 1997, it will not adversely affect the economy of Hong Kong.

(D) Hong Kong will be prosperous after 1997.（B）

One analyst predicts that Hong Kong can retain its capitalist ways after it becomes part of mainland China in 1997 as long as a capitalist Hong Kong is useful to China; that a capitalist Hong Kong will be useful to China as long as Hong Kong is prosperous; and that Hong Kong will remain prosperous as long as it retains its capitalist ways.

这是一道归纳题。

a capitalist Hong Kong is useful—>Hong Kong can retain its capitalist ways

Hong Kong is prosperous—>a capitalist Hong Kong will be useful

it retains its capitalist ways—>Hong Kong will remain prosperous

综合起来：

prosperous<—>retains capitalist，互为充要条件。

所以，如果到97年为止能保持资本主义，那么HK就会持续繁荣；持续繁荣又导致能够保持资本主义。所以选B。

恩恩~谢谢~

之前我选错了D……
