有人因为一个动词，将一道逻辑题的题意曲解得七零八落，不忍卒读，特发此帖： 先看这道题： Kernland imposes a high tariff on the export of unprocessed cashew nuts in order to ensure that the nuts are sold to domestic processing plants. If the tariff were lifted and unprocessed cashews were sold at world market prices, more farmers could profit by growing cashews. However, since all the processing plants are in urban areas, removing the tariff would seriously hamper the government’s effort to reduce urban unemployment over the next five years.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. Some of the by-products of processing cashews are used for manufacturing paints and plastics.
B. Other countries in which cashews are processed subsidize their processing plants.
C. More people in Kernland are engaged in farming cashews than in processing them.
D. Buying unprocessed cashews at lower than world market prices enables cashew processors in Kernland to sell processed nuts at competitive prices.
E. A lack of profitable crops is driving an increasing number of small farmers in Kernland off their land and into the cities. 看看下面这篇官方文摘及其对应中文翻译： As a member of WTO， China Government consents to lower the import tariff， to lift the non-tariff barriers gradually， so the influences of entering WTO are multi-faced. 作为WTO正式成员，中国政府承诺逐步降低进口关税、逐步取消非关税壁垒，因 此，入世对中国烟草业的影响是多方面的。 The European Commission has urged France to lift its ban on imports of British beef.欧盟已经催促法国取消英国牛肉进口限制。 还有谁对于lift有疑问吗？竟然有人因为这个词将题目曲解得七零八落，真的难以理解。 某位号称GMAT名师的人说这题目弄错了，说就是因为这个lift这个词错了！ 简直让人笑掉大牙！ 还是想说那句话：GMAT主要目的不是考英文，并不代表最基本的英文功底都不需要！
