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 cashews 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?

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 cashews 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 paints 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.


为什么选E呢,完全没想明白....取消出口关税,farmer就能把更多unprocessed cashew卖到国外赚更多利润,结论:urban更多人失业,问削弱???E说的不是种其他作物的农民利润少了于是进城,而城里processing plants进的unprocessed少了,这不会更多人失业,加强么......
哪里有问题了.............求求求求打脸!感谢!

k地对于未加工的cashew nuts出口实行高税额,为了确保这些nuts能卖给国内的加工厂。
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.
楼主,这句不是减税是增税啊。
然后以下为个人的理解:
removing the tariff would seriously hamper the government‘s effort to reduce urban unemployment over the next five years.结尾句中,给出了个结论,说如果去税的话,会阻碍减少失业率。所以对这句的同义句是:要有税的话,(注意这里用的是the tariff,是the进行修饰的,是前面出现过的a high tariff on export.) ,会不阻碍减少失业率。
所以这样看来,即使最后的结论句有个however,但是从句子意思上来看还是还是支持施加出口关税的。
好的,我们再来看选项。
题干问的是weaken,weaken很重要一点就是,不能导致结论中的情况。根据前面的分析,结论中的情况是:“要有税的话,(注意这里用的是the tariff,是the进行修饰的,是前面出现过的a high tariff on export.) ,会不阻碍减少失业率。” 这样的话,要选择的出来的结果(要weaken)“是会阻碍城里人减少失业率。”

A.   Some of the by-products of processing cashews are used formanufacturing plants and plastics    说一些副产品被用来生产工厂和塑料。这同结论中减少失业率没啥关系。
B.    Other countries in which cashews are processed subsidizetheir processing plants    其他国家怎么样,跟本国减少国内城市人口的失业率的结论没关系。
C.   More people in kernland are engaged in farming cashews thanin processing them    K地的人越来越懂的从事生产腰果,而不是加工腰果。这里的试讲了K地的人的一种工种的变化。1)没体现出失业率有啥关系2)没直接与城里的就业率发生关系
D.   Buying unprocessed cashews at lower than world marketprices enables cashew processors in kernland to sell processed nuts atcompetitive prices说买低于国际市场价格的未加工的腰果使得处理腰果的人能够以一个很有优势的价格卖出去加工过的坚果。这个的实施主体,没有直接说明是farmers还是urban。 所以这也对于结尾句的结论没啥影响。
E.    A lack of profitable crops is driving an increasing numberof small farmers in kernland off their land and into the cities这句说由于没有有利可图的作物可以种植,使得越来越多的K地的小农们,离开他们的土地,涌入城中。       这些啥也没事可做的人,还涌入城里了,那么城里的失业率会受到影响,所以这对结论句是有影响的(可能是正,也可能是负)。好,我们继续分析。如果这些人涌入城里,潜在的会增加失业率,这就跟刚才分析的部分(见反黄) 。  就是说要找的是“会阻碍城市失业率降低”=增加城市失业率或维持现有失业率。所以就选这个选项啦。


做完本题,提醒楼主,其实也是提醒我自己,因为我这道题目也做错了,1) 要仔细阅读,不能理所应当的看见however这类的词就直接认为是什么态度了,需要根据语义进一步判断。2) 同一个名词的指代需要上前文找一下,比如这里说的tariff, 用了the定冠词,说明前面是已经对这个tariff有了限定,就不能够直接理解为,新的别的tariff,而应该向前寻找到这个究竟是什么样的tariff.

额,一不小心打了这么多字。
嗯,以上为个人意见,如果有不妥之处,还请各位牛牛指出。
