The recent decline in the value of the dollar was triggered by a prediction of slower economic growth in the coming year. But that prediction would not have adversely affected the dollar had it not been for the government's huge budget deficit, which must therefore be decreased to prevent future currency declines.
这道题的逻辑是这样的:经济增速放缓的预测导致了最近的货币贬值。但是如果由于不是政府的大量预算赤字,这个预测不会有这种影响,因此,必须减少赤字来阻止货币贬值。要weaken的就是这个结论。
反过来说,就是预算赤字不应该为货币贬值负责。
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the conclusion about how to prevent future currency declines?
(A) The government has made little attempt to reduce the budget deficit.无关。只是说了政府没怎么做努力。一个statement而已。
(B) The budget deficit has not caused a slowdown in economic growth.这个选项的错误在于给出了一个assumption:预算赤字→经济增长放缓,然后结合原文,经济增长放缓→货币贬值,然后weaken。BUT,这个assumption是不存在的,不要自己infer。
(C) The value of the dollar declined several times in the year prior to the recent prediction of slower economic growth.一个statement,无关。
(D) Before there was a large budget deficit, predictions of slower economic growth frequently caused declines in the dollar's value.在此之前,经济放缓的预测已经导致货币贬值了,说明不是赤字的问题。
(E) When there is a large budget deficit, other events in addition to predictions of slower economic growth sometimes trigger declines in currency value.还是间接说明了预算赤字导致了货币贬值,只不过不是由于经济放缓引起的,不能weaken。 |
