单项选择题
Which of the following is NOT a form of wage erosion
Which of the following does NOT stand for the argument of deflation
A.Prices soar.
B.Debt repayment becomes more difficult.
C.Consumers are encouraged to wait for even lower prices.
D.The cost of goods falls.
答案
参考答案:A
解析: 因果关系判断。
题干要求判断与通货紧缩有必然关系的内容。文章第二段最后两句谈到通货紧缩将带来什么结果时,在倒数第二句提到选项B和C的内容,即“…cripple an economy by making debt repayment more difficult and encouraging consumers to wait for even lower prices”,在最后一句提到选项D的内容,即“…the cost of goods to both consumers and manufacturers fell in April…”。由此可见,只有选项A的内容与通货紧缩的结果无关,因此为答案项。
[解题关键] 通过信号词可判断上下文的逻辑关系。本文最后“Wage erosion partly explain why…”中why的使用,表明了前后的因果关系。
