66. To protect certain fledgling industries, the government ofCountry Zbanned imports of the types of products
those industries were starting to make. As a direct result, the cost of those products to the buyers, several
export-dependent industries in Z, went up, sharply limiting the ability of those industries to compete effectively
in their export markets.
Which of the following conclusions about Country Z's adversely affected export-dependent industries is best
supported by the passage?
(A) Profit margins in those industries were not high enough to absorb the rise in costs mentioned above.
(B) Those industries had to contend with the fact that other countries banned imports from Country Z.
(C) Those industries succeeded in expanding the domestic market for their products.
(D) Steps to offset rising materials costs by decreasing labor costs were taken in those industries.
(E) Those industries started to move into export markets that they had previously judged unprofitable.


A中说Profit margins 。。 were not high enough  to absorb the rise in costs·
可是成本上升也不一定要代表就要赔本吧
相比较而言A最好，但是A的逻辑也不是最严密的~对不？

答案是A？

我的理解是，前提：成本上升，企业竞争力大大削弱。
试想如果企业分毫未损，那么边际收益是可以cover掉成本上升带来的损失的。但现在企业竞争力大大削弱，说明边际收益不足以弥补。
感觉答案还是比较certain的。

说说我对题目的理解（不知道对不对）。
1.先看问题， 说明这题是must be true/most support 的类型。
2. 题干里有as a direct result.那么就抓紧这个Conclusion. the cost of the products to the serveral export-dependent went up, limited the ability to compete in the export market.（有个limit这个词，说明这个direct result不好）
3. 看选项（找选项中说明这个不怎好的，而且和cost 还有limited ability 有关的选项）  
A. not high,,,cost...有关，留下。
B banned...(题里说limited， banned 严重了） 不要。
C， succeeded in expanding(和题干语气完全不一样，答案应该是不怎么好的）， 不要。
D. rising cost, decreasing labor... 有和cost 有关，留下。
E. unprofitable 有关，留下。

所以现在剩下了A,D,E.
E, 说了原文中没有的东西， move into export market. 和题的类型不符。 错。

A,D.
A, 题干说cost of product to buyers went up. 选项说profit margins not high enough to absorb the rise cost. 看上去有联系。
D。 decreasing labor? 和buyer 没什么联系吧。 错了。

所以答案是 A。
