Editorial:
Regulations recently imposed by the government of Risemia call for unprecedented reductions in the amounts of pollutants manufacturers are allowed to discharge into the environment. It will take costly new pollution control equipment requiring expensive maintenance to comply with these regulations. Resultant price increases for Risemian manufactured goods will lead to the loss of some export markets. Clearly, therefore, annual exports of Risemian manufactured goods will in the future occur at diminished levels.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument in the editorial?
(A) The need to comply with the new regulations will stimulate the development within Risemia of new pollution control equipment for which a strong worldwide demand is likely to emerge.
(B) The proposed regulations include a schedule of fines for noncompliance that escalate steeply in cases of repeated noncompliance.
(C) Savings from utilizing the chemicals captured by the pollution control equipment will remain far below the cost of maintaining the equipment.
(D) By international standards, the levels of pollutants currently emitted by some of Risemia's manufacturing plants are not considered excessive.
(E) The stockholders of most of Risemia's manufacturing corporations exert substantial pressure on the corporations to comply with environmental laws.
问题分析:
A说实行新的法规将会刺激其他需求量增长,明显说的是这块肥肉没了但是另外一块肥肉出现,留着。
B说这些新的法规包含了什么内容,没说,干掉。
C说用这种环保设备的成本将会低于维护这个设备的成本,文章没提过这个比较,干掉。
D说现在这些工厂的排放物不超标,没提,干掉。
E说公司董事局向公司施压要求公司符合新的法规,明显是在原文事件基础之上加了一些东西的错误答案,原文说过这个选项的后半部分信息,但是整体意思原文没有体现,错误答案的迷惑性就在于当我们把这个错误答案断章取义的时候我们取的义经常是原文提过的。
