42.   (33427-!-item-!-188;#058&006865)

 

Editorial:

 

Regulations recently imposed by the government of Risemia call for unprecedented reductions in the amounts of pollutants manufacturers are allowed to discharge into the environment.  It will take costly new pollution control equipment requiring expensive maintenance to comply with these regulations.  Resultant price increases for Risemian manufactured goods will lead to the loss of some export markets.  Clearly, therefore, annual exports of Risemian manufactured goods will in the future occur at diminished levels.

 

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument in the editorial?

 

(A) The need to comply with the new regulations will stimulate the development within Risemia of new pollution control equipment for which a strong worldwide demand is likely to emerge.

(B) The proposed regulations include a schedule of fines for noncompliance that escalate steeply in cases of repeated noncompliance.

(C) Savings from utilizing the chemicals captured by the pollution control equipment will remain far below the cost of maintaining the equipment.

(D) By international standards, the levels of pollutants currently emitted by some of Risemia's manufacturing plants are not considered excessive.

(E) The stockholders of most of Risemia's manufacturing corporations exert substantial pressure on the corporations to comply with environmental laws.

 

答案为A

请问选项C为什么不对呢？？谢谢

C是support,不是weaken

政府的监管要求降低企业向自然环境的污染排放数量。遥想达标必须配备昂贵的新的污染控制设备。导致企业产品的价格上升，出口造成损失。企业的年报中出口应该是减少的状态。

文章推理：监管-〉成本上升—〉产品价格上升—〉出口下降

 

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument in the editorial?

 

(A) The need to comply with the new regulations will stimulate the development within Risemia of new pollution control equipment for which a strong worldwide demand is likely to emerge.

正确，兼管会促使污染控制设备的生产并且出口，所以对出口并没有影响。

(B) The proposed regulations include a schedule of fines for noncompliance that escalate steeply in cases of repeated noncompliance.

罚款对出口并没有直接的影响

(C) Savings from utilizing the chemicals captured by the pollution control equipment will remain far below the cost of maintaining the equipment.

加强，省得钱比安装成本要少，因此总成本还是要上升，促进出口下降

(D) By international standards, the levels of pollutants currently emitted by some of Risemia's manufacturing plants are not considered excessive.

和出口没有直接的关系

(E) The stockholders of most of Risemia's manufacturing corporations exert substantial pressure on the corporations to comply with environmental laws.

只是说遵守法律和出口并无直接关系

谢谢~~~东咯

我觉得A说的其实和题干也有出入，题里不是说会对manufactured goods的出口有影响吗？机器设备本身的出口和出口货物是出口的两个分支，如果题里问的是总出口量不管是啥，那我觉得OK。。。但是别的选项都更不能削弱，所以只有选A了。请问我的思路对吗？

只好把设备制造也作为制造业的一种.只能那么理解,要抛开price,利润这2个概念,因为设备制造也会存在污染的情况~设备制造刺激了需求增加了出口,不考虑是否自己赚钱,就是一味的追求出口数量, (难不成在暗指中国),这些题目出的都不严谨~很多的漏洞

我跟4楼有相同的想法。goods和equipment不是同一个物品，而这里的出口明显是说goods的出口，而A中是说equipment的出口。所以A就被我直接认定为无关选项了。。。  

题一做多C就特别容易看反，我就烦了这毛病。细心程度跟不上了，白瞎我还是处女座呢。。。

我觉得 equipment 是   goods 里面的一种。

这个解释的很好：

(C) Savings from utilizing the chemicals captured by the pollution control equipment will remain far below the cost of maintaining the equipment.

正：利用污染控制設備所截取的化學物質可以幫我省下的錢低於維修該設備的錢(ex：原本製造需要的化學物質需要花$40->購買污染控制設備可以幫我生成免費的化學物質並省下$40->但卻要花$100來維修這個污染設備->代表,即使我現在少花$40在買化學物質上,維修設備花了$100, 我的成本相較於購買之前還是增加了$60啊)->代表製造商購買污染控制設備真的可能會增加其製造成本->產品價格會因此增加,進而損失部分出口市場,減少每年從R製造並出口的產品

反：利用污染控制設備所截取的化學物質可以幫我省下的錢高於維修該設備的錢(ex：原本製造需要的化學物質需要花$150->購買污染控制設備可以幫我生成免費的化學物質並省下$150->但要花$100來維修這個污染設備->代表,雖然維修設備花了$100, 購買該機器設備可以幫我省下150的化學資源成本費,我的成本相較於購買之前減少了$50)->代表製造商購買這項設備有可能可以減少製造成本->產品價格就不會增加,也不損失部分出口市場,每年從R製造並出口的產品就不會減少

推清楚！
