【OG20-P576-657题】
Economist: Tropicorp, which constantly seeks profitable investment opportunities, has been buying and clearing sections of tropical forest for cattle ranching, although pastures newly created there become useless for grazing after just a few years. The company has not gone into rubber tapping, even though greater profits can be made from rubber tapping, which leaves the forest intact. Thus, some environmentalists argue that Tropicorp’s actions do not serve even its own economic interest. However, the initial investment required for a successful rubber-tapping operation is larger than that needed for a cattle ranch; there is a shortage of workers employable in rubber-tapping operations;and taxes are higher on profits from rubber tapping than on profits from cattle ranching.
Consequently, the environmentalists’ conclusion is probably wrong.
In the economist’s argument, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles?
-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

题型:boldface
原文大意:Thus+BF1+however+consequently+BF2
逻辑链:第一段前面的Thus说明第一段是对前文的一个结论,且是environmentalists的argument,后面however表示转折,第二段的consequently带领了另一个结论,说第一段environmentalists的结论不对。
选项解析:
A. 第一段支持了经济学家的结论,第二段质疑了这个结论。第一段不是经济学家的结论,是环境学家的结论,排除
B. 第一段论述了经济学家的结论,第二段支持了这个结论。第一段不是经济学家的结论,排除
C. 第一段支持了环境学家的结论,第二段论述了那个结论。第一段没有支持,本身就是结论,排除
D. 第一段论述了环境学家的结论,第二段论述了经济学家的结论。正确
E. 每段都支持了经济学家的结论。两个都不是支持,都本身就是结论,排除

C.The first supports the conclusion of the environmentalists’ argument E.Each supports the conclusion of the economist’s argument 两个黑体都是结论,不能用support,只有条件才是去support别人的argument或conclusion
