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, seceral export-dependent industries in Z, went up,sharply limiting the ability of the industrues to compete effectively in their export markets.

which of the following can be most properly infrred 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

不是很明白意思：sharply limiting the ability of the industrues to compete effectively in their export markets. 指的是fledgling industries 还是export-dependent industries?

cost of those products to the buyers ,指的是卖出的价格，还是生产产品的成本？

楼主下次贴全题目哦

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.

94. 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 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.

这个industries指的是export-dependant industries。cost of those products to the buyers是指买这些产品的买主付出的价格，这些价格对买主来说，也就是他们的成本了。

举个例子

Z 城为了保护新兴起的录音机生产厂家，禁止进口录音机。结果录音机售价升高，使得出口录音机的厂商在国际市场上处于不利地位。

原来进口的比当时国内生产的录音机价格低。（有可能是一样的价格，只不过禁止进口之后才抬高的价格）

应该是原来进口的比现在国内生产的价格低吧？

Those products had been cheaper to import than they were to make within country Z’s fledgling industries.

应该是are?

没有啊。我觉得是比较过去的状态才是合适的。在没有禁止进口之前，Z国进口X商品是由于X商品的价格比本国生产此类商品的新兴企业低。

95.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. A

(E) Those industries started to move into export markets that they had previously judged unprofitable.

那请问A中的absorb the cost mentioned above作何解释？

OG上说代表了absorb the price increase，但price increase不是买者承担的吗？为什么要说those industries did not have sufficiently high profit margins to enable them to absorb the price increase???

这道题关键在于分清两个industries代表的是不同的industries（一个是fledgling industries，另一个是export-dependent industries)。

我觉得不对，这里的the cost of those products to the buyers指的是采购成本，而buyer指的就是several export-dependent industries in Z。

我是这么理解的：因为要保护新兴企业（言下之意就是新兴企业的产品竞争不过进口产品）所以限制进口，因此导致价格上升（出口商的采购成本增加），也就导致降低了在国际市场上的竞争里。
