Many United States companies have, unfortunately,
made the search for legal protection from import
competition into a major line of work. Since 1980 the
United States International Trade Commission (ITC)
(5) has received about 280 complaints alleging damage
from imports that benefit from subsidies by foreign
governments. Another 340 charge that foreign compa-
nies “dumped” their products in the United States at
“less than fair value.” Even when no unfair practices
(10) are alleged, the simple claim that an industry has been
injured by imports is sufficient grounds to seek relief.这句话应该怎么理解？
Contrary to the general impression, this quest for
import relief has hurt more companies than it has
helped. As corporations begin to function globally, they
(15) develop an intricate web of marketing, production, and
research relationships, The complexity of these relation-
ships makes it unlikely that a system of import relief
laws will meet the strategic needs of all the units under
the same parent company.

56. It can be inferred from the passage that the minimal basis for a complaint to the International Trade Commission is which of the following?我题目不是很明白，蓝色部分究竟是什么意思？
(A) A foreign competitor has received a subsidy from a foreign government.
(B) A foreign competitor has substantially increased the volume of products shipped to the United States.
(C) A foreign competitor is selling products in the United States at less than fair market value.
(D) The company requesting import relief has been injured by the sale of imports in the United States.
(E) The company requesting import relief has been barred from exporting products to the country of its foreign competitor.

Thanks in advance........

题目： the minimal basis for a complaint to the International Trade Commission is which of the following? 要向此机构the International Trade Commission抱怨的最低限度的事情是什麽？basis可以理解为facts or things。就是改写原文中的 the simple claim。

Even when no unfair practices are alleged, the simple claim that an industry has been injured by imports is sufficient grounds to seek relief.

that 子句：一个已经遭受进口货品之破坏的产业，就已经是足够的理由去诉求救济。

即使没有不法情事发生，我想应该指前面的1.外国政府补助 2.削价倾销。就是造成竞争不平等的事情。所以ABC选项排除，E则是文章未提及的。

对照选项，选项就是改写 an industry has been injured by imports：The company requesting import relief has been injured by the sale of imports in the United States.

一点看法，互相交流
