看完题干之后觉得正确选项应该是“补贴不能抵消物价上涨的影响”这一类的(其实这是正常的想法是吧?),所以看到price就认定这个选项,想都没想in times of inflation是什么意思 潜意识地认为c应该是they buy goods whose prices tend to rise faster than the inflation rate之类的意思,就错选了>_< 倒地
the government of Runagia decided two years ago to increase by 20 percent the government-provided pension paid to all Runagians over 65.Inflation in the intervening period has been negligible, and the increase has been duly (适当;合适;适度) received by all eligible Runagians.
是指的indivudually pension paid to 老人都涨了20%,还是 总的pension funding for all the 老人增加了20%.
我在文中看到Inflation in the intervening period has been negligible.还以为是个implication,说inflation被忽视了。然后看到C就毫不犹豫选了,由于有先入为主的关系,看到E也没反应过来。前后三道ASSUMPTION的题都错了,但其他两道事后仔细看还能选出正确答案,唯独这道仔细看也没用。
