In the country of Veltria, the past two years' broad economic recession has included a business downturn in the clothing trade, where sales are down by about 7 percent as compared to two years ago. Clothing wholesalers have found, however, that the proportion of credit extended to retailers that was paid off on time fell sharply in the first year of the recession but returned to its prerecession level in the second year. Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the change between the first and the second year of the recession in the proportion of credit not paid off on time? (A) The total amount of credit extended to retailers by clothing wholesalers increased between the first year of the recession and the second year. (B) Between the first and second years of the recession, clothing retailers in Veltria saw many of their costs, rent and utilities in particular, increase. (C) Of the considerable number of clothing retailers in Veltria who were having financial difficulties before the start of the recession, virtually all were forced to go out of business during its first year. (D) Clothing retailers in Veltria attempted to stimulate sales in the second year of the recession by discounting merchandise. (E) Relatively recession-proof segments of the clothing trade, such as work clothes, did not suffer any decrease in sales during the first year of the recession. 这道题错选了A。 思路如下： 题目问的是为什么在经济不好，衣服卖不动的情况下，第一年零售商还不上钱第二年就能还上了。讲的是零售商还钱的问题。 当时留下的是A,C,D 排除D是因为觉得，即使刺激销售量衣服打折也不能说明能还上钱。可能打折卖1块，纵使家当全卖了也不够。 排除C是因为觉得， 那些本身经济状况就很差的在第一年被淘汰掉以后，剩下的那些没说经济状况如何啊，如果也不咋地，第二年还是得淘汰啊。 A选项当时觉得，即使credit extended，对pay off on time也无太大用处，但最起码跟原文意思接近。所以选了A。

请问数学老师 条件2为什么成立 谢谢老师

老师您好，这道阅读理解不会做，用定位的方法读了原文也没太懂为什么选D

文章的最后一句话回答了这个问题，也就是C选项，我不懂为什么正确答案是B

ken老师你好，这道题目我的思路是设97、98、99依次为a、b、c，根据题目得出b=C+y; b=a+x。条件1）x>y，可以得出a<c。 第二个条件不太懂。而且这道题目的开始的的less、 more in 1999，这些术语我转化成公式就浪费了半个小时，想问老师有没有更高效的解决办法？

请数学老师讲解下思路

麻烦老师给我讲解一下这一题，通过The body…was that of the man ，身体是那个男人的一部分，而不是身体是那个男人。这个点排除ABC. DE关于时态部分不是很清晰

请数学老师解答下第三个为什么不行

请数学老师帮我解答下，再讲下怎么画图 谢谢老师

麻烦老师给我辨析一下图1和图2，关于图1那题当时选错之后机构老师给我解答的是40 to 44 million years 是一个时间区间，不能用estimate at 因为 at 有精确到某个点的意味。那么图2的正确答案是不是因为3.47 billion years 是一个精确的年份所以要用 at 。。

麻烦老师给我解答一下这题，这题BUT后面主要想表达的核心语意是 家庭用电少于百分之一和家里面的电仍然是由蜡烛提供。我觉得B 顺着读下去也能表达这个语意，就是 我觉得AB 都能表达这个语意，关于两者的差异我不是很清晰 麻烦老师帮我辨析一下
