一道GWD， 选什么？

这道题来自GWD，答案存在不同版本，大家觉得C还是B？

1.      Consumers planning to buy recreational equipment tend to buy higher quality, more expensive equipment when the economy is strong than when it is weak. Hill and Dale is a business that sells high-quality, expensive camping and hiking equipment in Boravia. Although all the signs are that Boravia’s economy is now entering a period of sustained strength, the managers of the business do not expect a substantial increase in sales.

Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest justification for the managers’ judgment?

A)       A significant proportion of Hill and Dale’s sales are made to customers who enter the store in order to buy one particular item but, once there, find other items to buy as well.

B)       In Boravia when the economy is strong, those who might otherwise go camping tend to take vacations overseas.

C)       The economic upturn is likely to allow Boravia’s national parks, where most of the camping and hiking is done, to receive extra funding to improve their visitor facilities.

D)       Advances in materials technology have led to the development of hiking and camping equipment that is more comfortable and lightweight than before.

E)       Many people in Boravia not only are committed to preserving the country’s wilderness areas but also are interested in spending some time in them.

简单来说。我觉得是C。题目先给了普遍的观点，然后介绍了个特例。接着说特例不完全符合这个观点。答案一定是别的因素造成了这个现象。

B不对是因为题目说的是买贵的设备和经济发展状况的关系。而B并没有涉及到。而且，就算camping不卖，还可以卖hiking的呀。camping和海外旅游有什么矛盾？虽然这不是这道题要说的，但是路基是在荒谬。

C 是说因为经济好，去camping的地方已经提供了很好的设备了，那谁还会去买呢？所以解释原题中的现象。

给个例子，瑞典有个国家公园可以camping,好像是花大概相当于100欧或者200欧，它给你一套很好的帐篷，生火的设备，睡袋。。。以及够吃一个星期的食物。你什么都不用买。假如你在瑞典，你选不选C?当然这只是个例子，不要转牛角尖。真的要说去瑞典是国外旅游，花200欧也是钱。。。那这题没法做了

另，这camping的东东好的可不是200欧，前两天刚去看看，好像要再乘10。

我选B。不仅C没说visitor facilities就是camping and hiking equipment，而且很难想象公园会给每个游客提供camping and hiking equipment，太奢侈啦。

我觉得lawyer说的是关键。vistor facilities是否包括camping和hiking,但请看原文插入语，, parks, where most of the camping and hiking is done。从这里，我认为是说的是相关的设施。否则说话就太没有连贯性了。

如果vistor facilities是我说得那样，请问lawyer,C是否正确？

另，买一套贵的设备租给游人挺合适的。比如我说的，2000欧的帐篷，租10次就收回成本了，当然这是简单的算。而且，瑞典那个鬼地方就是有个专门camping的地方提供全套设备，我哥们叫我跟他去，我怕被恶狼呀，熊呀什么的给吃了，就没去。基于此原因，我认为去那是花200欧给公园当饲料。呵呵，题外话。

1.如果C没有该插入语，那就更没关系，谁知道是什麽公园，有没有人在那里CAMPING AND HIKING。

2.如果相关设施，也没关系，因为相关设施无关。推理只关心camping and hiking equipment即可。

3.至于买设备租给客人，那是另外的话题，和原文推理无关。

综上所述，还是选B吧！ 嘻嘻...

只是，题外话，真正考试时看到这题的话，很容易仓促下把A当成无关选项排出掉... 不知有什么好办法，除了细心再细心，仔细再仔细以外...

肯定是C，B没有说vacation oversee用不用recreational equipment！没有明确，就不能说不用！

这题做到过，不选C就只能头撞显示器了。
