题目如下: 93. Commentator: The theory of trade retaliation states that countries closed out of any of another country’s markets should close some of their own markets to the other country in order to pressure the other country to reopen its markets. If every country acted according to this theory, no country would trade with any other.
The commentator’s argument relies on which of the following assumptions?
(A) No country actually acts according to the theory of trade retaliation. (B) No country should block any of its markets to foreign trade. (C) Trade disputes should be settled by international tribunal. (D) For any two countries, at least one has some market closed to the other. (E) Countries close their markets to foreigners to protect domestic producers.
结论是If every country acted according to this theory, no country would trade with any other. 你想想,这个结论在什么情况下不成立?根据premise,必须存在关闭市场的情况,才可能导致这个结果吧。如果没有关闭市场的情况,那么这个结论就不成立了。所以答案是D。对于任意两个国家,至少有一个国家关闭自己对另一个国家的一些市场。对D取非的话,只要有两个国家,它们彼此间都不对对方关闭市场,那么它们之间的trade就可以继续进行,对吧?所以答案选D。
