这篇文章我认为主要考了对答案范围的界定．　

１．　某些答案的范围扩大化．

The author of the passage is primarily concerned with

A.     criticizing Locke’s economic theories

B.     discounting the contribution of labor in a modern economy

C.     questioning the validity of the labor theory of value

D.     arguing for a more equitable distribution of business profits  (C)

E.      contending that employers are overcompensated for capital goods

我第一次也是选的A，　

看了答案以后发现确实是Ｃ好．Ａ中的economic theories 太笼统，　作者在此只是对labour theory

做评价，　并没有对除此以外的别的ＴＨＥＯＲＩＥＳ　做批评，　我掉到ＧＭＡＴ　陷阱里面去了．

２．　某些答案范围的缩小．

According to the author of the passage, which of the following is true of the distribution of the income derived from the total output of consumer goods in a modern economy?

A.     Workers receive a share of this income that is significantly smaller than the value of their labor as a contribution to total output.

B.     Owners of capital goods receive a share of this income that is significantly greater than the contribution to total output attributable to the use of capital goods.

C.     Owners of capital goods receive a share of this income that is no greater than the proportion of total output attributable to the use of capital goods.

D.     Owners of capital goods are not fully compensated for their investment because they pay out most of their share of this income to workers as wages and benefits.  (C)

E.      Workers receive a share of this income that is greater than the value of their labor because the labor theory of value overestimates their contribution to total output.

Ｄ　中，　this income to workers as wages and benefits.：是由owner 1/3所得ＰＡＹ是不对的．　　而由总体的2/3 PAYde1，总体的１／３是ＯＷＮＥＲ的补尝．

嗯，这句话经典！

我也掉到GMAC的陷阱里去了

文章的最后一句话,不是表明了要质疑Locke的吗?

所以应该还是反对Locke的吧?

The labor theory of value

(45) systematically disregards

the productive contribution of

capital goods-- a failing for

which Locke must bear part

of the blame.

是的,我认为AC都符合原文意思,只是,C说的范围更大些.更抽象些,所以选择C.

GMAT也存在这类题目,其实都对的,只是选择更好的.更精确的答案.

其實我想問這片文章的Q9

Q9:

Which of the following arguments would a proponent of the labor theory of value, as it is presented in the first paragraph, be most likely to use in response to the statement that “The labor theory of value systematically disregards the productive contribution of capital goods” (lines 44-47)?

             

1. The productive contributions of workers and capital goods cannot be compared because the productive life span of capital goods is longer than that of workers.
2. The author’s analysis of the distribution of income is misleading because only a small percentage of workers are also shareholders.
3. Capital goods are valuable only insofar as they contribute directly to the production of consumer goods.
4. The productive contribution of capital goods must be discounted because capital goods require maintenance.
5. The productive contribution of capital goods must be attributed to labor because capital goods are themselves products of labor.

E可以理解。但是D到底有什麽不對呢？

E意思就是disregard了，因为把他们的都归功于labor

而按照labor theory来看，一切都应该从Labor的角度来解释，所以D就不对啦~disregard不是忽略的意思，而是轻视，看轻

LOCKE只占了部分的责任，所以这里主要还是blame theory，这里谈到LOCKE也许只想qualify一下

我觉得这篇文章是典型的"指桑骂槐",驳"the labor theory of value"的目的 仍然在于批评L这个人的理论. 故选A.

文章结构很清楚:
L这个人的理论与the labor theory of value只差1% → the labor theory of value是错的 → L这个人的理论也是错的.

我认为C描述的是作者批驳L时采用的方法,而A描述的是作者的最终目的.

请问这篇文章的第7题为什么选C啊？

According to the author of the passage, which of the following is true of the distribution of the income derived from the total output of consumer goods in a modern economy?

             

1. Workers receive a share of this income that is significantly smaller than the value of their labor as a contribution to total output.
2. Owners of capital goods receive a share of this income that is significantly greater than the contribution to total output attributable to the use of capital goods.
3. Owners of capital goods receive a share of this income that is no greater than the proportion of total output attributable to the use of capital goods.
4. Owners of capital goods are not fully compensated for their investment because they pay out most of their share of this income to workers as wages and benefits.
5. Workers receive a share of this income that is greater than the value of their labor because the labor theory of value overestimates their contribution to total output.

我觉得应该选D啊，C里面的use of capital goods不是指的

capital goods (tools,

 (25)   machines, etc.),吗？既然这样，那文中说的owners of capital goods 将三分之一的钱发给员工当工资就和这里的不一致了啊
