TEST 10 19. Industrialists from the country Distopia were accused of promoting the Distopian intervention in the Arcadian civil war merely to insure that the industrialists’ facilities in Arcadia made substantial profits during the war. Yet this cannot be the motive since, as the Distopians foresaw, Distopia’s federal expenses for the intervention were eight billion dollars, whereas, during the war, profits from the Distopian industrialists’ facilities in Arcadia totaled only four billion dollars. Which of the following, if true, exposes a serious flaw in the argument made in the second sentence above? (A) During the Arcadian war, many Distopian industrialists with facilities located in Arcadia experienced a significant rise in productivity in their facilities located in Distopia. (B) The largest proportion of Distopia’s federal expenses is borne by those who receive no significant industrial profits. (C) Most Distopian industrialists’ facilities located in Arcadia are expected to maintain the level of profits they achieved during the war. (D) Distopian industrialists’ facilities in Arcadia made substantial profits before the events that triggered the civil war.(B) (E) Many Distopians expressed concern over the suffering that Arcadians underwent during the civil war. 答案选B。不明白这个选项在哪里攻击到材料了? 材料第一句是说, Industrialists from the country Distopia在战争期间攫取暴利;第二句则反驳说由于战争期间expenses大于profit,所以根本没有暴利这一说。 B选项的意思是expenses很大程度上是由那些没有获取多少profit的来承担。这个是不是就意味着那些没有承担多少expenses的反而因此而获得profit了?
