First-time computer buyers buying PXC home computers typically buy models that cost much less and have a smaller profit margin per computer than do PXC computers bought by people replacing their computers with more powerful models. Last year PXC's profits from computer sales were substantially higher than the previous year, although about the same number of PXC computers were sold and the prices and profit margins for each computer model that PXC sells remained unchanged.
If the statements above are true, which of the following is most strongly supported by them?
PXC's competitors raised the prices on their computers last year, making PXC computers more attractive to first-time computer buyers.
The number of people buying PXC computers who also bought PXC computer-related products, such as printers, was larger last year than the previous year.
Among computer buyers who bought a PXC computer to replace their existing computer, the proportion who were replacing a computer made by a competitor of PXC was greater last year than the previous year.
The proportion of PXC computers bought by first-time computer buyers was smaller last year than the previous year.
PXC's production costs for its computers were lower last year than they had been the previous year.
原文:(price和profits)第一次购买的人<二次购买的人(replacing their computers)。数量没变,利润增加,说明二次购买的人多了,第一次购买的人比例少了。看清楚问题,which of the following is most strongly supported by them?就是由原文得出结论。
正确D,去年首次购买PXC电脑的比例比前年有所下降。【很简单,不该错】错选C,由原文是不能得出竞争者情况的!
审选项错误。

这个长难句可以的。
嗨,这题又错在没有仔细读全所有C的内容,想当然了。made by a competitor of PXC ,明显不是在跟自己比。
看错选项了
类比
已知:第一次买PXC的人比以旧换新PXC的花的少
去年PXC卖的电脑和以前一样多,价格、利润率也没有变,电脑本身的销售额(划重点!!)的利润却上涨了
增强,解释两年有什么不同
A、PXC对手价格上调(暗示PXC应该卖电脑更多),因此PXC吸引着第一次买电脑的人,吸引≠买,与利润无关
但从这个选项,可以得到小tip:
“已知:第一次买PXC的人比以旧换新PXC的花的少”也许是突破口
B、PXC电脑周边产品销量提升,与PXC电脑本身无关
C、以旧换新的人,买PXC对手的比率超过前几年,削弱
这个选项,tip又出现了!!
D、The proportion of PXC computers bought by first-time computer buyers was smaller last year than the previous year.
很漂亮的回答,CORRECT
E、生产成本降低,与销售额无关
这道还是很tricky的,处处都是坑
关于B,文中有提及边际效益也没有增加

题目讲了number没变price没变profit margin没变,怎么可能选到e,认真读题
没有看清问题,是总结题而不是解释原因题。。。
第一句话要看懂才能做对。首次购买 PXC 家用电脑的购买者通常会购买价格低得多、每台电脑的利润率小于 PXC 电脑的型号,后者是人们用功能更强大的型号替换自己的电脑。
文章前提说的是第一次买电脑的人买的电脑利润低,没说第一次买px电脑的人买的电脑利润低。
读题要仔细!
比起那些买PXC是为了更换老型号的消费者,PXC的初次购买者往往选择更便宜,每台利润更低的型号。
去年PXC公司的利润比前年更高,尽管卖出去的电脑总数量,和每台电脑的利润保持不变。
choice d, 去年被PXC初次购买者占到的比重低于前年。correct
从问题问从文中可以得到什么,信息一定是基于原文的!
怎么可以错选e呢。。每个产品:price不变,cost下降,profit margin肯定是上升
为什么B不对呢
题目需要我们解释的是Last year PXC's profits from computer sales were substantially higher than the previous year. B项与computer sales无关,属于无关选项

第一次买电脑的人与其他不同的是:
他们会买pwc便宜的model
去年然而,这部分的first buyer变少了,买好机子贵机子的人多了,电脑总量不变,但平均单价上升,所以利润上升
演绎推理
错选C,看漏了 made by a competitor of PXC
显然可以推知是第二次买家买的高利润产品更多了,第一次电脑比例下降
同错选C,也是把competitors看漏了。。。。

第一次买电脑的人买PXC电脑中价格低利润低的。第二次买的都是性能好更高利润的。去年PXC利润大大增长,尽管卖的电脑数量和单台利润没变化。
去年第一次买家买的PXC电脑比例比前年小;因原文说总数不变,单台利润不变,但利润增长,显然可以推知是第二次买家买的高利润产品更多了,第一次电脑比例下降
每种型号的边际利润没变,卖的电脑数量没变,但是总利润上升.说明利润大的电脑型号卖的多,利润小的电脑型号卖的少(也就是第一次买电脑的人少了)
