真题的答案之争 - Rejected Cheese

dingrhan

这道真题的答案之争在A，C， E，到底哪个对呢？

23. Goronian lawmaker:  Goronia’s Cheese Importation Board, the agency responsible for inspecting all wholesale shipments of cheese entering Goronia from abroad and rejecting shipments that fail to meet specified standards, rejects about one percent of the cheese that it inspects.  Since the health consequences and associated costs of not rejecting that one percent would be negligible, whereas the cost of maintaining the agency is not, the agency’s cost clearly outweighs the benefits it provides.

Knowing the answer to which of the following would be most useful in evaluating the lawmaker’s argument?

A)       Are any of the types of cheeses that are imported into Goronia also produced in Goronia?

B)       Has the Cheese Importation Board, over the last several years, reduced its operating costs by eliminating inefficiencies within the agency itself?

C)       Does the possibility of having merchandise rejected by the Cheese Importation Board deter（= prevent from acting,阻吓） many cheese exporters from shipping substandard cheese to Goronia?

D)       Are there any exporters of cheese to Goronia whose merchandise is never rejected by the Cheese Importation Board?

E) How is the cheese rejected by the Cheese Importation Board disposed of

支持C, 第一遍看没有注意substandard, 看完了觉得没有选的, 后来发现了这个, 就ok了.

如果说取消了检查的, 大量的不合格的进口出现, 那最终肯定要危害消费者. AE无关.

哎呀，对呀，关键就是这个"substandard"! 我也是因为没看到这个词呀！ 狡猾狡猾！

我觉得那个substandard不是关键，没有这个，只是说这个inspection是否影响进口就可以得出结论。题设中关键的是，

Since the health consequences and associated costs of not rejecting that one percent would be negligible

它后面的whereas the cost of maintaining the agency is not，不是做题的关键。

sensornet又碰到你了。

俺们来辩论一把

whereas the cost of maintaining the agency is not为什么不是关键呢？

文章说这样的百分之一的进口拒绝不会带来不良健康后果和大的费用，而这个agency的开支就不可以忽略了

意思说这个agency开销这么大，办的事情鸡毛蒜皮。

C说agency的措施使得那些假货不敢输入substandard的东西了。

第一眼还看成了standard了，哈哈

不好意思问一下，not 后面是不是有省略什么啊

第一次读都没有懂，到这一句完全疯了，看了讨论才明白什么意思

谢谢
