[求助]GWD 26-4 感觉答案不对

CCAML

答案给的是C. 明明B对呀。

Consumers planning to buy recreational equipment tend to buy higher quality, more expensive equipment when the economy is strong than when it is weak. Hill and Dale is a business that sells high-quality, expensive camping and hiking equipment in Boravia. Although all the signs are that Boravia’s

economy is now entering a period of sustained strength, the managers of the business do not expect a substantial increase in sales.

Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest justification for the managers’ judgment?

A.   A significant proportion of Hill and Dale’s sales are made to customers who enter the store in order to buy one particular item but, once there, find other items to buy as well.

B.    In Boravia when the economy is strong, those who might otherwise go camping tend to take vacations overseas.

C.   The economic upturn is likely to allow Boravia’s national parks, where most of the camping and hiking is done, to receive extra funding to improve their visitor facilities.

D.   Advances in materials technology have led to the development of hiking and camping equipment that

is more comfortable and lightweight than before.

E.    Many people in Boravia not only are committed to preserving the country’s wilderness areas but also

are interested in spending some time in them.

我同意B。

我觉得C估计是想表达，因为公园提供的措施好了，所以人们就不用自己再去买装备了，但是facilities实在是太模糊了，不足以从C中得到这里的facilities就是装备这个结论。

题目是找到能够解释经理想法的选项，也就是能够解释——虽然经济形势好，但是野营用品的销量可能会下滑。

B说大家会去国外野营，不是还是说他们会买用品吗？削弱选项

C说野营地出现问题，所以大家可能会选择其他的recreational equipments了，那么这个店的销量就会下滑了。

B说的是take vacations overseas，没有说take camp overseas.  渡假和野营有质的区别。

C说的是 公园的facilities会变得更好。哪里有说“出现问题？？？？”

CCAML

通过B表达的意思是大家有钱去国外度假 （带着用具去国外野营的可能性极小，即使去国外野营，用具也多半是在当地租），就不去camping了，不去camping,就不用买设备了。所以销量不会增加。支持经理的观点。

facility 通常是指道路，护栏，公共设施什么的。Camping本身用的设备，公园是不提供的。至少在美国是如此。

cllcchocolat

我觉得主要是在于对C当中那句话的理解

B.    In Boravia when the economy is strong, those who might otherwise go camping tend to take vacations overseas. (只是说出国度假，又没说不用hiking和camping的东东了，可能人家去国外hiking和camping呢，除非你能假设他们出国不用这些)

C.   The economic upturn is likely to allow Boravia’s national parks, where most of the camping and hiking is done, to receive extra funding to improve their visitor facilities. （关键在于highlight的这句话，说了national parks是camping和hiking的主要地方，这些地方的设施和装备在经济好的时候由extra fund,那么个人去买这些equipment就相对少了，对原文作出了解释）

又做到这题,觉得答案就是B, 之前不知道为什么没看到otherwise go camping...

阴险啊！C对了。

1. not all people go vacation overseas.

2. visitor facilities=野营登山装备

owenwei

我个人觉得B更好

B明确指出这些人不去野营，去干别的了

C没有明确建立high-quality, expensive camping and hiking equipment 和visitor facilities这间的联系，给人的感觉是公园花了钱改善了设施，so what?

TonyGe

c right.

those otherwise go camping,tend to take vacations overseas. 他们本来就不想camping

vistior facilities = 装备

选B 同志 注意了！

以下是引用TonyGe在2009/9/19 22:55:00的发言：

c right.

选B 同志 注意了！

B中的otherwise说的就是，如果经济不好就会去camping，经济好了就不会去。

C visitor facilities ，是指，饮水设施提供，服务设施提供，道路设施提供等。
