2.(24069-!-item-!-188;#058&000703)

Downtown Villieu was once a flourishing business district, but most Villieu-area businesses are now located only in the suburbs.The office buildings downtown lack the modern amenities most business operators demand today.To lure more businesses downtown, Villieu officials plan to have several modern office buildings constructed and to offer reduced local tax rates to any business that leases space in a new downtown building.

Which of the following, if true, most threatens the plan's likelihood of success?

(A) Most of the businesses currently located in downtown Villieu have long-term leases on the space they occupy there.

(B) The existing office buildings in downtown Villieu have, on average, a much higher vacancy rate than do office buildings in Villieu's suburbs.

(C) The local tax rates in Villieu's suburbs are significantly lower than downtown Villieu's proposed rate for businesses that lease space in the new office buildings.

(D) Most of the businesses that currently lease office space in downtown Villieu also lease office space in Villieu's suburbs.

(E) With the new office buildings, downtown Villieu would have a greater amount of modern office space than any other downtown business district in the region.

答案是C 想不通啊。。。。

这个题的意思是说，郊区的business发达，downtown没有那么繁华，为了让downtown繁华起来，政府决定减税，但问题是需要比较，减税过后的税率是不是比郊区的低，如果原来downtown的tax rate是11% 减税后是8%,而郊区本身就是5%，那么减税是无效的。矛盾主体是tax rate，选项中应包含tax rate 这一矛盾主体

题目里面有几个目的
【1】.To lure more businesses downtown, Villieu officials plan【 2】.to have several modern office buildings constructed and【3】. to offer reduced local tax rates to any business that leases space in a new downtown building.、
到底是哪个目的。？

nanisoga · 发表于 2010-5-31 21:13:59

lure more business downtown是目的，reduce tax rate 是手段

那也是两个手段啊？
一个是建房子另一个是减税啊
否定两个手段的做法是不对的都可以视为答案吧？

不对，建了房子，可以没人进来，进不进来的关键在于 tax rate，需要用tax rate去刺激，矛盾的主体是tax rate，建房子是一个措施，为了保证吸引到的business有地方，而吸引business还要靠 tax rate

nanisoga ，谢谢
好厉害击中要害。我有时候做题没有找到核心内容，把握不准确。请指教

可是我的理解是，to have several modern office buildings 来解决The office buildings downtown lack the modern amenities 这件事情啊……为什么跟房子设计外观没关系呢？？？我选的是B，也没想通……

这题我也做错了。后来一想这样的: tax 低了人就一定会来，而房子多了人不见得会来。所以key point还是tax

求各位NN帮忙呀~为什么我选的是A呢。就是因为现在的在suburb的business与他们在suburb的place有长期的lease，所以不能搬回到urban中，就会削弱tax incentive的效果，从而削弱了计划呀。。。
想法C选项，虽然说urban的tax rate比suburb的高，但是plan会decrease这个tax呀，为什么会是答案呢

求解救~~
