75. (33198-!-item-!-188;#058&007254) In the year following an eight-cent increase in the federal tax on a pack of cigarettes, sales of cigarettes fell ten percent. In contrast, in the year prior to the tax increase, sales had fallen one percent. The volume of cigarette sales is therefore strongly related to the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes. Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument above? A. During the second year after the tax increase, cigarette sales increased by a significant amount. B. The information available to consumers on the health risks of smoking remained largely unchanged in the period before and after the tax increase. C. Most consumers were unaware that the tax on cigarettes was going to increase. D. During the year following the cigarette tax increase, many consumers had less income, in inflation-adjusted dollars, than they had had in the previous year. E. During the year after the tax increase, there was a greater variety of cigarettes on the market than there had been during the previous year. 增加了8分钱税,但是香烟销售下降10%,对比没增税之前只下降1%,说明征税有用。问加强?B选项再说关于香烟有害身体健康对于那些经常吸烟的人的影响没变化,在征税之后,言下之意应该是说吸烟者不是因为吸烟有害身体健康才减少吸烟,而是确实因为税收 我想知道为什么D不行呢 ,收入少了征税高了所以买的人就少了啊 销售不就下降了么~ -- by 会员 livdl (2012/2/1 10:34:47)
D证明烟的购买量下降是因为人民收入而不是税收。所以非但不加强反而削弱。看清楚题目中的结论与税收有关,所以想要加强他的两种方法是提供进一步支持税收的论据,或者排除他因。B正确是因为排除了他因。D是提供了她因所以削弱。 |
