Ronald: According to my analysis of the national economy, housing prices should not increase during the next six months unless interest rates drop significantly.
Mark: I disagree. One year ago, when interest rates last fell significantly, housing prices did not increase at all.
It can be inferred from the conversation above that Mark has interpreted Ronald’s statement to mean that
(A) housing prices will rise only if interest rates fall
(B) if interest rates fall, housing prices must rise
(C) interest rates and housing prices tend to rise and fall together
(D) interest rates are the only significant economic factor affecting housing prices(B)
(E) interest rates are likely to fall significantly in the next six months 按照答案来看这题提干难道是在问R在说什么?? 谢谢~
能啊,可以按照这个思路,R说的只是一般性的情况,是generalization,而M说的one year ago 是一个特例,特例和一般情况并不一定相等(作文argument就有这个思路)。可见M 的理解就R说的这个generalization就一定是这样,是在任何情况下都一定符合的……不知道我有木有表达清楚囧……= =
