The average hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland has long been significantly lower than that in neighboring Borodia. Since Borodia dropped all tariffs on Vernlandian televisions three years ago, the number of televisions sold annually in Borodia has not changed. However, recent statistics show a drop in the number of television assemblers in Borodia. Therefore, updated trade statistics will probably indicate that the number of televisions Borodia imports annually from Vernland has increased. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? A. The number of television assemblers in Vernland has increased by at least as much as the number of television assemblers in Borodia has decreased. B. Televisions assembled in Vernland have features that televisions assembled in Borodia do not have. C. The average number of hours it takes a Borodian television assembler to assemble a television has not decreased significantly during the past three years. D. The number of televisions assembled annually in Vernland has increased significantly during the past three years. E. The difference between the hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland and the hourly wage of television assemblers in Borodia is likely to decrease in the next few years. 没懂!!! -- by 会员 zjqswmm (2009/12/20 20:02:38)
这题真绕。。应该是C吧。
原题说Vernland的电视劳工费用一直比Borodia低。 自从三年以前Borodia把进口的关税给取消之后, Borodia国内电视的销量没变。 但是最近的数据显示Borodia的劳工数量下降了, 所以Borodia从Vernland的进口数量一定上升了。。。
如果销量没变, 只要Borodia本国的产量没变的话, 那进口数量是不会上升的。。。所以C说, 每个劳工做电视的时间没变, 那么说如果工人数量下降, 那本国产量就下降了,所以进口的数量会更多。。。。(本文没谈到其他国家, 所以就当世界就这俩国家, Borodia的进口就只从Vernland来~~) |
