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.

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～～）

时间有限的情况下，逻辑用有关无关排除法更快，就算是瞎蒙正确率也会比较高。比如本题，关键词是avg hourly wage和three years（有这么具体的时间给出一定是线索，参考lawyeer大牛说的具体性）：

首先排除BE，features和next few years和原文完全没有任何关系

其次排除AD，因为AD只说到numbers，和hourly wage没有联系上

对于A还有其他的排除因素：第一A有一个at least as much as，原文只说到increased, decreased，并没有提到amount；其次A和three years没有联系

剩下C：avg hours，和avg hourly wage完美对应，而且出现了填补gap的新概念。three years，和原文的three years完美对应。

就算不看每个选项的意思，瞎蒙C，也正确啦。

我这两天做GWD，基本都稳定在一套错15道

有的时候，阅读错的多，有的时候语法

不过我心态还不错，会继续努力的。

还有10天就开学了，要加油！

队友们，考虑到我们这里有东部的，西部的，中部的，国内的。那我们每周的m群聚暂定于美东时间每周日晚9点如何？半个小时候的讨论应该就差不多了。
西部和东部是不是差3个还是4个小时？我也糊涂了……一会查查。
