2.GWD25-Q2. In twomonths, the legal minimum wage in the country of Kirlandia will increase fromfive Kirlandic dollars(KD5.00) Per hour to KD5.50 per hour. Opponents of thisincrease have argued that the resulting rise in wages will drive the inflationrate up. In fact its impact on wages will probably be negligible, since only avery small proportion of all Kirfandic workers are currently receiving lessthan KD5.50 per hour. Which ofthe following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? A.Most people in Kirlandia who are currently earning theminimum wage havebeen employed at theircurrent jobs for less than a year. B.Some firms in Kirlandia have paid workers considerably lessthan KD5.00per hour, in violation ofKirlandic employment regulations. C.Many businesses hire trainees at or near the minimum wagebut mustreward trained workers bykeeping their paylevels above the paylevelof trainees. D.The greatest growth in Kirlandia’s economy in recent yearshas been in those sectors where workers earn wages that tend to be much higherthan the minimum wage. E. Thecurrent minimum wage is insufficient for a worker holding only one job to earnenough to support afamily,evenwhen working full time at that job.
文章: 1. 法定最低工资提高到5.5, 2.反对者说 工资提高会导致inflation rate提高, 3.事实是, 只有小部分worker的工资低于5.5
结论: 最低工资提高的影响可以忽略不计, (意思就是说 因为大部分工人工资都不低于5.5, 所以实际工资没提高)
问削弱
看了很多帖子,发现大家都在对b和c纠结。可为什么我会觉得是E呢??
我的想法是这样的:工人依靠现在的最低工资仅仅做一个工作是无法维持生计的,即使在全职的情况下。
言下之意是拿最低工资的工人要活下来就得做不止一项工作,拿不止一份工钱,所以最低工资上升了,虽然拿最低工资的人少,但拿的份数多啊,工人们拿的钱就翻倍增长啦,所以就可能产生通胀。。。
大家来驳斥我吧!让我知道我的思路的问题在哪!

楼主,我觉得你说的这个情况呢,如果不是放在这个逻辑里,完全有可能实现的。但是你别忘了,你是在做逻辑题,要削弱的是原文的逻辑链。原文的逻辑链是:只有少部分人拿低于5.5的工资,所以影响是很小的。 你上面的思路已经偏离轨道啦~~~~~ |
