GWD-9-Q12:
A mosquito bite can transmit to a person the parasite that causes malaria, and the use of mosquito nets over children’s beds can significantly reduce the incidence of malarial infection for children in areas where malaria is common. Yet public health officials are reluctant to recommend the use of mosquito nets over children’s beds in such areas.
Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest grounds for the public health officials’ reluctance?

A.    Early exposure to malaria increases the body’s resistance to it and results in a lesser likelihood of severe life-threatening episodes of malaria.
B.    Mosquito bites can transmit to people diseases other than malaria.
C.    Mosquito nets provide protection from some insect pests other than mosquitoes.
D.    Although there are vaccines available for many childhood diseases, no vaccine has been developed that is effective against malaria.
E.     The pesticides that are most effective against mosquitoes in regions where malaria is common have significant detrimental effects on human health.


答案是A，不明白是什么意思？？为什么能成为原文的假设？


GWD-9-Q28:

Editorial in Krenlandian Newspaper:
Krenland’s steelmakers are losing domestic sales because of lower-priced imports, in many cases because foreign governments subsidize their steel industries in ways that are banned by international treaties. But whatever the cause, the cost is ultimately going to be jobs in Krenland’s steel industry. Therefore, it would protect not only steel companies but also industrial employment in Krenland if our government took measures to reduce cheap steel imports.

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

A.    Because steel from Krenland is rarely competitive in international markets, only a very small portion of Krenlandian steelmakers’ revenue comes from exports.
B.    The international treaties that some governments are violating by giving subsidies to steelmakers do not specify any penalties for such violations.
C.    For many Krenlandian manufacturers who face severe international competition in both domestic and export markets, steel constitutes a significant part of their raw material costs.
D.    Because of advances in order-taking, shipping, and inventory systems, the cost of shipping steel from foreign producers to Krenland has fallen considerably in recent years.
E.     Wages paid to workers in the steel industry in Krenland differ significantly from wages paid to workers in many of the countries that export steel to Krenland.

答案选C，我没有弄明白题目中的几个概念，manufacturer和steelmakers 以及steel industries 是一个概念吗？C的逻辑是什么？我选的是D

谢谢大家了！~~

我来回答下钢铁这个题吧：
K国的钢铁在丧失市场，因为进口的钢铁便宜，为什么进口便宜呢，因为别的国家给补贴了K国没有给。
题干：K国政府采取措施挽救K国钢铁 ，因为钢铁最终和工作岗位挂钩，所以政策肯定同时保护了就业率。
C： K国挽救钢铁业，禁止了外国进口的话， 国内考钢铁进行生产的工厂就必须要买K国本土的钢铁了，那么就贵了（前文说进口的钢铁便宜），这样大部分的制造业成本压力就大了， 对就业率是不利的。 所以WEAKEN.

欢迎探讨！

用排除法可以选A，A的意思是提早接触疟疾能够产生抗体，避免日后更严重的致命疟疾。

C的逻辑是K国钢铁业的主要问题是原材料成本过高，也就是说并不是冗员或者高工资问题导致K国钢铁业的困境。因此K国钢铁业不景气不会导致工人下岗或者降薪。
D选项是说近年来进口钢材价格大幅下跌，strengthen而非weaken题目。

越说越晕了~

题目的意思就是由于lower-price imports，K 国国内的钢铁企业不景气。
所以，政府对imports 采取措施能保护本国的钢铁业和就业问题。

要削弱文章，C的意思是对大型企业而言，钢铁成本占了成本很大一部分。这样一来，岂不是说钢铁成本才是钢铁业不景气的关键，那不是加强了文章？

可能我没有听明白你的意思~抱歉，看看我表达清楚了我的疑问没有

我觉得选C是说 reduce cheap steel imports的话就会导致Krenland国内manufactures的成本增加（steel的价格在他们的成本中占很大的部分），而这些manufactures又要面对国内外激烈的竞争。应该是说 reduce cheap steel imports不利于国内manufactures的发展，这个manufactures应该是跟钢铁业相关的制造业。

应该不是这样吧
文章最后不是说政府要reduce the imports才能保护国内企业吗？你这样是不是理解反了？

lcj2003kit

reduce the imports是保护国内的钢铁业，但是另一方面还要考虑国内的钢铁相关行业的的成本问题撒。要是reduce cheap steel imports的话，国内与钢铁相关的制造业的成本就高了，这部分企业就无法面对国内外的竞争。。。。我觉得是这样的意思。

我不赞同这个观点

请看原文，不是说steel占了很大的成本，而是steel占了原材料成本中很大的一部分，那假设原材料成本跟劳动力相比差不多或者小于劳动力（当然，现实情况下不太可能），那就不能weaken了

chenxuleon

本题是一个充分必要条件型的结论：Therefore, it would protect not only steel companies but also industrial employment in Krenland if our government took measures to reduce cheap steel imports.
题干推出的是：进口钢材价格上升——>钢铁企业受到保护+钢铁相关产业就业率上升
而C选项推出的是： 进口钢材价格上升——>钢铁相关产业受损——>相关产业就业率下降，因此weaken了结论。

引用h5641对于Q28的解释：
一個小陷阱: manufacturers  (只能說 我們對字的敏感度 還不夠高, 尤其在1分鐘之內...>__< )
這個 manufacturers 不是指 steelmakers, 而是利用 steels 為原物料的 manufacturers.

原題推論:

降低 steels 的價格 ---> 造成國內steelmakers 的銷售下滑 + unemployment 上升 + 失去競爭力

要 weaken 這個推論 就是:  降低 steels 的價格 ---> 造成 賴以steels 為原料的 manufacturers 獲利上升 + 可能的 employment 增加 + 增加競爭力

所以 答案C 符合

Hope helps~
