T-9-Q2

Kernland imposes a high tariff on the export of unprocessed cashew nuts in order to ensure that the nuts are sold to domestic processing plants. If the tariff were lifted and unprocessed cashew were sold at world market prices, more farmers could profit by growing cashews. However, since all the processing plants are in urban areas, removing the tariff would seriously hamper the government‘s effort to reduce urban unemployment over the next five years.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

A.Some of the by-products of processing cashews are used for manufacturing plants and plastics

B.Other countries in which cashews are processed subsidize their processing plants

C.More people in kernland are engaged in farming cashews than in processing them

D.Buying unprocessed cashews at lower than world market prices enables cashew processors in kernland to sell processed nuts at competitive prices

E.A lack of profitable crops is driving an increasing number of small farmers in kernland off their land and into the cities

答案：E，没看懂~”however,后那句话与前面有什么关系~

学海无涯啊

注意这里的失业率是城市的失业率（urhan unemployment rate)
E的意思是即使升高tariff, 城市失业状况也可能不会有改观，因为升高的关税会导致种植c的利润下降，从而促使大批农民兄弟涌入城市，造成失业人口增加。

小橘子

我怎么觉得E反而是在加强原命题呢？
我觉得应该是C啊答案

就是说不会导致失业率下降是因为更多的人从事的是种植而不是生产

为了使农民把C卖在国内，政府对此加了关税。如果取消这种关税，使农民可以将C卖到国际市场，农民会由此获得大量的收益。但是因为生产所用的机器都是在城市里，因此移走关税会阻碍政府降低失业率的这种努力。

直接的答案有两个方面可以去想，一是移走关税不会导致影响失业率；第二，如果保持关税，会使失业率上升。不管如何，都要和失业率沾边，而失业率和什么有关呢，是人数。

HOWEVER就是转折啊，前面一句说的是移走关税的好处，HOWEVER后说的是移走关税的坏处。

E选项：缺少可获利的C，会导致大量的人涌入城市。这个选项至少说到了人数的多少，因此是可以的。
