9-Q28:
Editorial in Krenlandian Newspaper:
Krenland’s steelmakers are losing domestic sales because of lower-priced imports, in
many cases because foreign governments subsidize their steel industries in ways that are
banned by international treaties. But whatever the cause, the cost is ultimately going to
be jobs in Krenland’s steel industry. Therefore, it would protect not only steel companies
but also industrial employment in Krenland if our government took measures to reduce
cheap steel imports.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the editorial’s argument?
A. Because steel from Krenland is rarely competitive in international markets, only a
very small portion of Krenlandian steelmakers’ revenue comes from exports.
B. The international treaties that some governments are violating by giving subsidies
to steelmakers do not specify any penalties for such violations.
C. For many Krenlandian manufacturers who face severe international competition
in both domestic and export markets, steel constitutes a significant part of their
raw material costs.
D. Because of advances in order-taking, shipping, and inventory systems, the cost of
shipping steel from foreign producers to Krenland has fallen considerably in
recent years.
E. Wages paid to workers in the steel industry in Krenland differ significantly from
wages paid to workers in many of the countries that export steel to Krenland.
Answer: C
原文推理:因为低价的进口钢原材挤掉了K地钢原材生产商的市场,使K地钢铁业失业增多。所以如果政府减少低价钢原材进口,就可减少失业。
C说K地钢原材价格构成了钢材加工品价格的主要部分。在这情况下,如果限制低价钢原材进口,就等于提高钢加工品价格,使钢材加工品竞争力减少,导致更多的失业。从而WEAKEN结论。
我还是不懂!!我还是不懂·
1,竞争力减少,为什么会导致更多的失业?
2.哪里有说导致更多的失业?
唉,反正就是不知道到底是怎么削弱的,看了解释还是晕,有加重倾向。钢原才是什么?
3,划横线的句子不懂。 |
