FEIFEI 107

107. Because of the recent transformation of the market, Quore, Inc., must increase the next two years, or it will certainly go bankrupt. In fact, however, Quore’s production structure is such that if a 10 percent productivity increase is possible, then a 20 percent increase is attainable.

If the statements above are true, which one of the following must on the basis of them also be true?

A.       It is only Quore’s production structure that makes it possible for Quore to survive the transformation of the market.

B.        Quore will not go bankrupt if it achieves a productivity increase of 20 percent over the next two years.

C.        If the market had not been transformed, Quore would have required no productivity increase in order to avoid bankruptcy.

D.       Because of the transformation of the market, Quore will achieve a productivity increase of 10 percent over the next two years.

E.        If a 20 percent productivity increase is unattainable for Quore, then it must go bankrupt.

【正确答案】E

【解题思路】

本题的类型是归纳类，即如果原文正确，可以得出什么结论或推出什么。

可简化题干的表述为：

transformation of the market（A）→Q increase its production（B）

Q not increase its production（非B）→Q will go bankrupt

3 Q increase 10%   ----->   Q  increase  20%

可是我认为E也不正确啊，因为 a 20 percent productivity increase is unattainable for Quore  可以推出 10％ increase  is  unattainable .

可是不能增加10％并不代表不增加啊。 也就不能利用   2  的Q not increase its production（非B）→Q will go bankrupt得出E啊◎

题干是说如果不增长就要go bankrupt，但是没说必须要增长多少才能避免破产，所以我认为“换句话说,达不到20%,公司就破产了”这个说法不成立。

原来是题干不全，补全了就明白了：
