关于GMAT阅读的作者意图题

笨蛋鸟

Many people believe that because wages are lower in developing countries than in developed countries, competition from developing countries in goods traded internationally will soon eliminate large numbers of jobs in developed countries. Currently, developed countries' advanced technology results in higher productivity, which accounts for their higher wages. Advanced technology is being transferred ever more speedily across borders, but even with the latest technology, productivity and wages in developing countries will remain lower than in developed countries for many years because developed countries have better infrastructure and better-educated workers. When productivity in a developing country does catch up, experience suggests that wages there will rise. Some individual firms in developing countries have raised their productivity but kept their wages (which are influenced by average productivity in the country's economy) low. However, in a developing country's economy as a whole, productivity improvements in goods traded internationally are likely to cause an increase in wages. Furthermore, if wages are not allowed to rise, the value of the country's currency will appreciate, which (from the developed countries' point of view) is the equivalent of increased wages in the developing country. And although in the past a few countries have deliberately kept their currencies undervalued, that is now much harder to do in a world where capital moves more freely.

The primary purpose of the passage is to

• A
  
  identify the origin of a common misconception
  
  
• B
  
  discuss the implications of a generally accepted principle
  
  
• C
  
  present information relevant in evaluating a commonly held belief
  
  
• D
  
  defend a controversial assertion against a variety of counterarguments
  
  
• E
  
  explain under what circumstances a well-known phenomenon occurs
  
  
  

这种题就让我很懵圈，不知道作者的意图到底是什么，不像观点对比或者问题解决那么明显，也没办法准确的知道问题里面的现象或者替他的这种概述词汇哪个是对的，求大佬帮忙！

关于此题，GmatLa的大神是这样分析的:
主旨题目

考点：


主旨（Main idea）
旨在考察我们对文章整体的把握程度，对文章的结构的分析能力和把控能力，以及对作者逻辑的判断。

文章的主要意思在上面已经提到了，这里不再赘述。



选项分析：

A选项： 验证一个共同的误解的起源。作者没有明确说明第一句是个误解，行文中也没有说明这个论证的起源。

B选项：讨论一个大家都接受的原理的含义。作者没有说明第一句暗含什么，只是说明这是大家的一个看法，下面的文章通篇都在说这个看法相关的一些信息。

C选项：Correct. 展示评估一个大众看法的相关信息。作者在后文其实暗含第一句提到的说法有些不妥，因为只要产量上升，原则上发展中国家的工人工资也会上升。所以是在评估第一段所提到的说法。

D选项：保护一个有争议的论断以免受众多的反对意见。相反的，作者在文中颇有偏向反对第一句表明的观点的意思。

E选项：解释在什么时候一个众所周知的现象会产生。文章中没有提及某种现象，就算把第一句的内容勉强当作现象，后文也并没有描述这个现象是怎么产生的。
