Certain governments subsidize certain basic agricultural products in order to guarantee an adequate domestic production of them. But subsidies encourage more intensive farming, which eventually leads to soil exhaustion and drastically reduced yields.

The situation above is most nearly similar to which one of the following situations with respect to the relationship between the declared intent of a government practice and a circumstance relevant to it?

(A) Certain governments subsidize theaters in order to attract foreign tourists. But tourists rarely choose a destination for the theatrical performances it has to offer.

(B) Certain governments restrict imports in order to keep domestic producers in business. But, since domestic producers do not have to face the full force of foreign competition, some domestic producers are able to earn inordinately high profits.

(C) Certain governments build strong armed forces in order to maintain the sort of discipline and morale that keeps armed forces strong, those forces must be used in actual combat periodically.

(D) Certain governments reduce taxes on business ventures are not always as successful as their owners hoped.

(E) Certain governments pass traffic laws in order to make travel safer. But the population-driven growth in volumes of traffic often has the effect of making travel less safe despite the passage of new traffic laws.


答案是C。 怎么也想不通。
简直怀疑我的ELSAT中是不是漏了几句话。
照我的理解，上文说的 intention 和 result 之间的关系，是一种适得其反的关系。C怎么也看不出来。不过好像其它的选项也看不出来。

那位大牛给指点指点吧。先谢谢了。

[face=Verdana]You are right on, something lost in (C) as bolded and the right one should be:

(C) Certain governments build strong armed forces in order to forestall armed conflict. But in order to maintain the sort of discipline and morale that keeps armed forces strong, those forces must be used in actual combat periodically.[/face]

番茄炒蛋

呵呵，这题开始我也想了很久，不过
to maintain the sort of discipline and morale that keeps armed forces strong, those forces must be used in actual combat periodically.
你对题目的分析是对的，
你看C中写了，建立军队的目的是维持秩序嘛，可后面又是actual combat ，这不就是搞反了吗
再想想，应该能想通的
