[Critical Reasoning]

试题详情

题目:

In the year following an eight-cent increase in the federal tax on a pack of cigarettes, sales of cigarettes fell ten percent.  In contrast, in the year prior to the tax increase, sales had fallen one percent.  The volume of cigarette sales is therefore strongly related to the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes.
 
The argument above requires which of following assumptions?

选项:

A、During the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes did not increase by as much as it had during the year prior to the tax increase.
B、The one percent fall in cigarette sales in the year prior to tax increase was due to a smaller tax increase.
C、The pretax price of a pack of cigarettes gradually decreased throughout the year before and the year after the tax increase.
D、For the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes was not eight or more cents lower than it had been the previous year.
E、As the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes rises, the pretax price also rises.

答案:

D

提问:

觉得ACDE都讲的是pretax price的变化, 原文只讲了税的变化,销售的下降和销售下降是因为税后价格,没讲到 pretax price, B 讲的是销售下降和tax变化的关系,沾边,所以选了。 听了以前录音的意思好像是说B的smaller tax increase 是相对比那1%的销售下降而说的,所以这样还否定了税是导致销售下降的因素,但是我读题时觉得smaller tax increase是相对eight-cent increase in tax说的,跟原文逻辑结构一致。 老师 这个思路有什么问题? 这个题光看沾边幅度大小选不出正确答案,考试中要怎么办
