Canadians now increasingly engage in “out-shopping,” which is shopping across the national border, where prices are lower. Prices are lower outside of Canada in large part because the goods-and-services tax that pays for Canadian social services is not applied.

Which one of the following is best supported on the basis of the information above?

(A) If the upward trend in out-shopping continues at a significant level and the amounts paid by the government for Canadian social services are maintained, the Canadian goods-and-services tax will be assessed at a higher rate.

(B) If Canada imposes a substantial tariff on the goods bought across the border, a reciprocal tariff on cross-border shopping in the other direction will be imposed, thereby harming Canadian businesses.

(C) The amounts the Canadian government pays out to those who provide social services to Canadians are increasing.

(D) The same brands of goods are available to Canadian shoppers across the border as are available in Canada

(E) Out-shopping purchases are subject to Canadian taxes when the purchaser crosses the border to bring them into Canada.

 

为什么A对呢？其他的错的比较明显，可是A呢？怎么就能说 加拿大人出国买东西，因为那里没有税。 --〉 这怎么就能推出接着买，加拿大本国就会提税阿？？？ 

这个结论怎么就是必然的亚???

就好比说学校做饭不好吃，我在学校吃不饱，所以去外面吃。结果我在外面吃得多了，学校厨子就说“我会把饭做的更难吃，你小子看着办。。’ 那我不是干脆就在外面包伙啦。。。。

这个思维推奇怪了.....

尝试解答下：
Prices are lower outside of Canada in large part because the goods-and-services tax that pays for Canadian social services is not applied.
这句话隐含的意思就是在加拿大这种goods-and-services tax is applied，导致价格高。而这种税是用来pay for Canadian social services的。
当加拿大人们都回避了这种税，那么必将导致偿付social services的金额减少。
A选项说的就是这个问题。如果政府在这样的情况下还要保持平衡的话，只有增加税率来弥补这个金额。

好象在哪里做到过类似的题目。应该是紫皮。

(A) If the upward trend in out-shopping continues at a significant level and the amounts paid by the government for Canadian social services are maintained, the Canadian goods-and-services tax will be assessed at a higher rate.

请注意 A的意思是，如果out-shopping的趋势保持上扬（很多人出国购物不用缴税），而政府又希望收入amount能保持，那么只能将税务rate提升了。个人理解，供参考~ BTW，楼主非常幽默 ～～～

我是这样理解滴:这里要有个常识：政府收税再进行分配。

题目说加拿大人出国买东西，因为那里没有税

A中说政府分配给sevice部们的钱不变，但是从消费者那收来的税减少（因为消费者都出国买便宜货去了），那么只能提高税率了

楼主的例子木有理解题意，我举相似例子，你看看对不对

因为学校食堂贵，所以学生都去校外小店吃，那么会有什么结果呢?

A因为学校承包的食堂每月得特向学校固定的贡，可是学生都跑了，怎么办啊。。。没办法只好再提高菜价了(才能保证同样多的钱交学校)。（食堂－政府，学生－消费者，学校－social service）

楼上二位的思路我不是没想过。 可是我有些问题， 这里说的是outshopping increase，但是未必意味着国内shopping减少。。如果国内shopping没有减少，social services 需要的钱也许会不变。文中没有说国内shopping必然减少的句子，所以A不是必要条件阿。。。

everann

A里面说了the upward trend in out-shopping continues at a significant level ，而这种购买行为是一种替代效应，会导致国内shopping减少。

FlowerJay

the upward trend in out-shopping continues at a significant level  是替代效应？木有看出来

还有就是4楼的说法。我想得和你一样。但是菜价一提高，原来是富哥们儿忍不了去吃馆子；现在又难吃又贵，弄得俺们穷哥们儿也出去吃盒儿饭了；这样就算一个馒头买1000美刀，没人买还是没有收入啊。所以没办法解决其财政问题。

同理提高税率也未必能解决题干的没钱付social services的问题。所以A怎么就是必要条件呢。。。

这个是第2层推理了也。

题目不是让你找flaw in reasoning.

人们到国外去买是因为国外买便宜，如果国外不比国内便宜的话，人们就会选择在国内买，难道不是替代效应吗？
