GWD-17-Q39

In Gandania, where the government has a monopoly on tobacco sales, the incidence of smoking-related health problems has risen steadily for the last twenty years. The health secretary recently proposed a series of laws aimed at curtailing tobacco use in Gandania. Profits from tobacco sales, however, account for ten percent of Gandania’s annual revenues. Therefore, Gandania cannot afford to institute the proposed laws.

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

A.All health care in Gandania is government-funded.

B.Implementing the proposed laws is not likely to cause a significant increase in the amount of tobacco Gandania exports.

C.The percentage of revenue Gandania receives from tobacco sales has remained steady in recent years.

D.Profits from tobacco sales far surpass any other single source of revenue for the Gandanian government.

E.No government official in Gandania has ever previously proposed laws aimed at curtailing tobacco use.

文章：吸烟让人生病，但政府不愿立法禁烟，因为烟草收入占国民收入10%.
A.削弱。吸烟导致国民生病，而医疗费用由政府买单
B/C/D/E都无关

葛佳

医疗有政府买单， 就可以支付的
就直接削弱结论
对么？

做这样weaken的题目，主要是找哪个选项削弱结论。

结论是：Therefore, Gandania cannot afford to institute the proposed laws. 政府不会建立法律。

削弱之后：政府会建立法律。

A：健康保险靠政府买单，吸烟的疾病又引起了健康问题，可以推出政府会遏制出钱为国民健康买单的状况，所以会建立法案。

B：关键词：tobacco Gandania exports。“出口”和结论无关。

C：可以视作加强。因为来自香烟的收入增加，那么政府不会建立法律，和结论一致。

D：any other single source of revenue和结论无关。其他行业的收入利润少和政府禁烟不禁烟没关系。

E：这个虽然看上去削弱结论，但是事实上推理错误。因为以前不代表现在，虽然从来没有禁烟过，但是不代表政府以后不这样做。其实等你做多了逻辑题，看到这个就会直接排除了。

根本上这还是关于profit的题, profit=revenue-cost， tobacco带来的revenue减少，但related heal problem也减少了，也就是cost减少了。government receives less revenuse and correspondingly pays less cost, so that the proposal is affordable.

葛佳

政府为了 减少problems  支付All health care  从而达到cost 减少， --》 profit 增加

？？？

because health care is government funded, reduced tobacco consumption will lead to fewer heal-related problems, so that the money the goverment spends to cure them is reduced.

个人感觉

A 是经过两层推理的答案，所以有点不好理解

BCDE确实无关
