74. Governments have only one response to public criticism of socially necessary services: regulation of the activity of providing those services. But governments inevitably make the activity more expensive by regulating it, and that is particularly troublesome in these times of strained financial resources. However, since public criticism of childcare services has undermined all confidence in such services, and since such services are socially necessary, the government is certain to respond.

Which one of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?

(A) The quality of child-care will improve.

(B) The cost of providing child-care services will increase.             Key

(C) The government will use funding to foster advances in child-care.

(D) If public criticism of policy is strongly voiced, the government is certain to respond.

(E) If child-care services are not regulated, the cost of providing childcare will not increase.

虽然用排除法看出了 B,但是文章啥意思不太懂啊

政府对社会需要服务的批评只有一个反映,就是调整或者说是规范提供服务的活

动,但不可避免的,在规范这些活动的过程中会使这些活动变得更昂贵,这也是在财

政紧张期间的一个难题.然而公众对childcare的批评,已经损坏了公众对这个服务

的信心,而且这个服务是社会需要的,所以政府一定要这项服务采取行动

问能推出什么.

b说提供child care的成本要增加,是由governments inevitably make the

activity more expensive by regulating it,这句推出来的

明白了.谢谢楼上指点.

第一次读文章的时候对response的理解不够到位;

以为response只是口头上说说,其实应该是采取行动
