刚开始也选择了C,也在文中看到了E的定位,即括号里面的(by these countries' standards),选择的时候我这么想:难道这么个举足轻重的小地方就是这个e选项的定位?? 事实证明我的想法错误了,地方虽小,可是很多GMAT题目就是考察你对这么一两个词的把握,而且C的easier明显不对。。。。以后要注意,找到定位了就要毫不犹豫地选择,不要想定位是否在文章中有很重要的角色。。。
关于D选项, 我有一个问题,原文中关于"“rational expectations” theory 提到"that inflation is caused by workers’ and employers’ expectations", ...most economists agree that tight monetary and fiscal policies, ..., are necessary to decelerate inflation. , 这表明如果是由于workers’ and employers’ expectations引起的通胀要通过tight monetary and fiscal policies来解决. 但下文中又说"Unfortunately, because this approach fails to deal with the underlying causes of inflation, wage and price controls eventually collapse, ...这句话表明, 由于没搞清通胀的成因, 而错误的选择了wage and price control, 所以失败了. 我的理解是, 选择wage and price control的理由是以为通胀由于worker和employers的expectataion引起, 但事实证明方法错了, 是因为没有对症下药,也就是说通胀并非由于workers’ and employers’ expectations引起. 所以没弄清楚D为啥错, 虽然我也认为E更好. 请指教. ....不知道各位能否看懂我再说什么......

回复一下这个一年多前的楼。。。 题目问的是high inflation in the US和E countries differer from inflation elsewhere。。。不是问这个high inflation怎样怎样~~
I have no doubt about the answers here. I am a bit confused about the author's attitude about this passage .Can we discuss about it?
1. Does he support most economists view that tight monetary and fiscal policies are necessary? I think yes.
2. But any relevance between this question and the first question the author raised in the beginning of the passage "Is it possible to decrease inflation without causing a recession and its concomitant increase in unemployment?" which one is the key question of the passage?
3. Is the example cited to support the adoption of tight monetary and fiscal policies? I think yes. The author argues that only such policies can solve the problem other than controlling the wages. But I don't see the relevance about the first question mentioned earlier either.
Anybody helps? Thanks.

I have the same feeling about the passage with you. When i read the passage, I was doubting why the author raise that question ? Dose he wants to give a good method to solve that problem perfectly ? But all he developed after that question is irrelevant to what i thought. I think the first question can be omitted from the passage without distorting the meaning that the author intends to circulate.
题目中强调“differed from inflaction elsewhere”: The passage suggests that the high inflation in the United States and many European countries in the 1980’s differed from inflation elsewhere in which of the following ways?
但是原文中“(by these countries' standards)”看不出这是区别于其他国家的地方。
为什么不注意“by only”呢?many European countries and the United States conquered high (by these countries’ standards) inflation, but only by applying tight monetary and fiscal policies that sharply increased unemployment.
这个不是暗含说明,其他国家不是by only么?这样以来,不就是differed from elsewhere的地方么?
