上CD一直看着各位牛人相互切磋，各种羡慕妒忌恨！提问一道OG12 RC部分的27题，除了想弄清楚，也希望听听各位可以开拓一下我的思路


27.The passage suggest which of the following about the majority of United States manufacturing industries before the high-technology development era of the 1980s
B)They experienced a major decline in profits during the 1960s and 1970s.
C)They could provide real economic benefits to the areas in which they were located.
正确答案C 错选 B


我在做题时是这样想的:看到  ......were lured away from..... through tax incentive and slick promotional effort， 那应该是由于利润下滑才需要迁移去税收优惠大的地方。看到答案觉得自己有点over think了，觉得按答案的思路在做题时应该是这样的：triumph和tragedy的对比说明能够provide benefit, 而transfer of jobs,related revenues又进一步说明了这个benefit是economic的；并且贯串全文的内在目标就是最后一段末尾的"provide jobs and foresters further entrepreneurship"(即经济利益最大化)。但是总感觉做题时无法迅速得出答案，希望各位大牛指点下啊！！
附上原文：

   During the 1960s and 1970s, the primary economic development strategy of local governments in the United States was to attract manufacturing industries. Unfortunately,this strategy was usually implemented at another community’s expense: many manufacturing facilities were lured away from their moorings elsewhere through tax incentives and slick promotional efforts. Through the transfer of jobs and related revenues that resulted from this practice, one town’s triumph could become another town’s tragedy.
   In the 1980s the strategy shifted from this zero-sum game to one called “high-technology development,” in which local governments competed to attract newly formed high-technology manufacturing firms. Although this approach was preferable to victimizing other geographical areas by taking their jobs, it also had its shortcomings : high-tech manufacturing firms employ only a specially trained fraction of the manufacturing workforce, and there simply are not enough high-tech firms to satisfy all geographic areas.
   Recently, local governments have increasingly come to recognize the advantages  of yet a third strategy: the promotion of homegrown small businesses. Small indigenous businesses are created by a nearly ubiquitous resource, local entrepreneurs. With roots in their communities, these individuals are less likely to be enticed away by incentives offered by another community. Indigenous industry and talent are kept at home, creating an environment that both provides jobs and fosters further entrepreneurship.

我觉得楼主想太复杂了，B项不对是因为根本没有在阅读里面提到有major decline。

而C项对是因为这么一句Through the transfer of jobs and related revenues that resulted from this practice, one town’s triumph could become another town’s tragedy.


重点还是在于理解第一段。第一段说了这种发展模式就是靠种种优惠，把其他地区的生产业吸引到这个地区来，那么这个地区自然就繁华啦，代价就是那个地区（生产业原来所在地区）很惨。这就是为啥作者说one town’s triumph could become another town’s tragedy.
