Exports of United States wood pulp will rise considerably during this year. The reason for the rise is that the falling value of the dollar will make it cheaper for paper manufacturers in Japan and Western Europe to buy American wood pulp than to get it from any other source.
Which of the following is an assumption made in drawing the conclusion above?
Factory output of paper products in Japan and Western Europe will increase sharply during this year.
The quality of the wood pulp produced in the United States would be adequate for the purposes of Japanese and Western European paper manufacturers.
Paper manufacturers in Japan and Western Europe would prefer to use wood pulp produced in the United States if cost were not a factor.
Demand for paper products made in Japan and Western Europe will not increase sharply during this year.
Production of wood pulp by United States companies will not increase sharply during this year.
P:美元价值下降使得日本和东欧购买美国的木头,而不是通过其他渠道
C:美国木头出口量增加
assumption:加强
B选项中提出美国木头的质量对日本和东欧是合适的,所以他们会购买,增强了原来的设定
D选项提到的需求不会急剧增加,感觉一开始理解成结果了,而不是用于加强的假设,
原文结论 美国树木出口量将会增加
premise 美元贬值 日本生产纸的厂家会买美国的树木而不买别的resorces
结论的假设 产品质量可以 因此便宜了 外国会购入 质量不行 外国不会购买
产量快速增加——对这个结论 米有影响
如果不管成本愿意使用美国产品——不管成本 那么这个原因就不成立 不是前提假设
it does not make any assumption regarding what the relative importance of cost and other factors might be. For this reason, it neither assumes nor
implies what might happen in the case that cost is not a significant factor.
是因为说成本不是因素,否定前提了吗
如果他们不在乎成本,那么不管美国的木材是贵还是便宜他们都会买,而不是因为降价所以加大采购量。这个选项可以看成削弱。
不在乎成本--木材降价也不会加大采购量--削弱结论,而不是推出结论:他们会加大采购量必需的一个因素。
prefer是对比出来的,除非原文给出美国产品与其他国家产品在价格无明显差距时,日本工厂进口这些国家产品的比例。登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
D.In fact, if such an increase were to occur, it would be even more likely that exports of
U.S. wood pulp would increase this year if U.S. wood pulp became internationally more competitive on price this year.
