大全-1-13

13.   While Governor Verdant has been in office, the state’s budget has increased by an average of 6 percent each year. While the previous governor was in office, the state’s budget increased by an average of 11.5 percent each year. Obviously, the austere budgets during Governor Verdant’s term have caused the slowdown in the growth in state spending.

Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the conclusion drawn above?

(A) The rate of inflation in the state averaged 10 percent each year during the previous governor’s term in office and 3 percent each year during Verdant’s term.

(B) Both federal and state income tax rates have been lowered considerably during Verdant’s term in office.

(C) In each year of Verdant’s term in office, the state’s budget has shown some increase in spending over the previous year.

(D) During Verdant’s term in office, the state has either discontinued or begun to charge private citizens for numerous services that the state offered free to citizens during the previous governor’s term.（A）

(E) During the previous governor’s term in office, the state introduced several so-called “austerity” budgets intended to reduce the growth in state spending.

E为什么不对呢,说明现在消费的削减是前任政府的政策的作用....请NN帮忙

同问E项

同因但不同果，不是很好的反对吗？

E这个选项自己演绎太多了吧，选项里从没说到前任实施的“austerity” budgets 作用一直持续到Governor Verdant执政的时候啊。

我想问的是，D选项错在哪里？前任免费的SERVICE，他现在收费或者取消了，不就节省开支了吗？

恭候NN指教！！

(C) In each year of Verdant’s term in office, the state’s budget has shown some increase in spending over the previous year.

--C中的"some increase"（有一些增长）跟原文中的“增长缓慢”吻合，不冲突

(D) During Verdant’s term in office, the state has either discontinued or begun to charge private citizens for numerous services that the state offered free to citizens during the previous governor’s term.

--budget 分为收入与支出两部分。结论说的是：budget减少从而导致政府开支（state spending）增长的缓慢。D只说了收入可以得到增加，但与开销（spending）的关系不知道（收入多开销不一定也多）。因此不具有明确的因果关系

(E) During the previous governor’s term in office, the state introduced several so-called “austerity” budgets intended to reduce the growth in state spending.

--1、本题说的是现政府，跟以前政府的做法没有关系;

2、就算是有关系，E中的intended to reduce也没有说清楚austere budgets到底有没有reduce the growth in spending

3、而且就算是reduce了，也只能是加强结论：严格的预算导致了开销增长的缓慢。

Agree..

in addition, in C) Verdant compared with himself each year..

"in spending over the previous year"   -- so year 2 is more than year 1 in spending, year 3 is more than year 2...therefore not correct anser

丑得老婆哭

还是不明白A为什么对

同问

我的理解是 原文结论：紧缩的预算导致了开销增长的缓慢

A中说了通货膨胀这个因素，根据前面的数字计算结果，Governor Verdant 是6-3=3，previous governor 是11.5-10=1.5也就是说实际上，财政预算并没有减少，所以不是紧缩的预算导致了开销增长的缓慢，从而削弱了结论。

是这样的马，还是觉得有点别扭
