GWD-TN-11 #3 关于答案的疑问

T-3-Q3.
            

Scientists
have made genetic modifications to cotton to increase its resistance to insect
pests. According to farmers’ report, the amount of insecticide needed per acre
to control insect pests was only slightly lower for those who tried the
modified seed than for those who did not. Therefore, since the modified seed
costs more than ordinary seed without producing yields of higher market value,
switching to the modified seed would be unlikely to benefit most cotton farmers
economically.

Which
of the following would it be most useful to know in order to evaluate the
argument?

A.     
Whether farmers who tried the modified cotton seed had ever
tried growing other crops from genetically modified seed.

B.      
Whether the insecticides typically used on ordinary cotton
tend to be more expensive than insecticides typically used on other crops.

C.     
Whether for most farms who grow cotton it is their primary
crop

D.     
Whether the farmers who have tried the modified seed planted
as many acres of cotton, on average, as farmers using the ordinary seed did.

E.      
Whether most of the farmers who tried the modified seed did
so because they had previously had to use exceptionally large quantities of
insecticide.

那位牛牛行行好, 幫小弟解一下此題

感激不盡!!

这题是一道乘法题目，评估题的关键是正确答案做两极回答时，一端可以加强，一端可以削弱，当用于COTTON的农药是天价时，PER ACRE少一点点，用乘法乘出来也是很大的数字，这样也是划算的。

关键我觉得一般如果题目中提到PER ACRE之类的概念，就应该用到乘法。如果选E的话，也许农药量是有差别，你说得不错，可是万一，这种农药的价格很便宜的话，即使从100降到50也是没什么特别大的经济效益的，（数量是不等于经济的）

不知楼主觉得这个回答如何

版主能给个原始讨论帖的连接么，逻辑的题号实在不好搜！谢谢！

这个题选E

3．  结论说换新种子的话不划算

E 说那些现在用新种子的人以前都尝试使用杀虫剂和旧种子的方法
                è
                肯定是正因为会saving money，这些farmers才会转而使用新种子（结合1. 思考）

D 无关，因为文章说的是per acre, 与种多少无关
B无关
