大全上关于一道国防的题

lisiberry

Defense Department analysts worry that the ability of the United States to wage a prolonged war would be seriously endangered if the machine-tool manufacturing base shrinks further. Before the Defense Department publicly connected this security issue with the import quota issue, however, the machine-tool industry raised the national security issue in its petition for import quotas.

Which of the following, if true, contributes most to an explanation of the machine-tool industry’s raising the issue above regarding national security?

(A) When the aircraft industries retooled, they provided a large amount of work for tool builders.
(B) The Defense Department is only marginally concerned with the effects of foreign competition on the machine-tool industry.
(C) The machine-tool industry encountered difficulty in obtaining governmental protection against imports on grounds other than defense.
(D) A few weapons important for defense consist of parts that do not require extensive machining.
(E) Several federal government programs have been designed which will enable domestic machine-tool manufacturing firms to compete successfully with foreign toolmakers.

OA：C

想问问大家我的理解正确不，有点没自信。----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

国家安全部说：机械工业如果再萎缩下去就会影响美国的国防能力了。可是还没等国家安全部做出限制进口的决定，机械工业就以国家安全为由提出限制进口的请求。

问题：下面哪个选项可以解释机械工业的做法。

C：机械工业在进口上失去了政府的保护。且理由与国家防御没关。

问题：我理解C的前部分，但不太明白other than defense.这个地方。
是不是说机械工业为了寻求保护，虽然它寻求保护的理由与国家防御没关，但（为了某种利益）以国家安全为借口来要求限制进口呢？


麻烦各位了。

你是说你也觉得下面这个观点我们想的差不多？那就好，不然文章就有点矛盾了

机械工业为了寻求保护，虽然它寻求保护的理由与国家防御没关，但（为了某种利益）以国家安全为借口来要求限制进口

紧紧抓住结论：machine tool industry requests import quota because of national security issue.
问题问你why
也就是找出 “import quota而维护machine tool industry进而维护了national security” 的原因，即为什么要import quota


AD没有提到import，无关。BE说反了。
验证C，The machine-tool industry encountered difficulty in obtaining governmental protection against imports on grounds other than defense. 发现 哦，原来是machine-tool industry自己没有得到本国政府的经济保护，选C

我用排除法作的，我和你想的差不多。
