149. The cotton farms of Country Q became so productive that the market could not absorb all that they produced. Consequently, cotton prices fell. The government tried to boost cotton prices by offering farmers who took 25 percent of their cotton acreage out of production direct support payments up to a specified maximum per farm.

 

The government’s program, if successful, will not be a net burden on the budget. Which of the following, if true, is the best basis for an explanation of how this could be so?

 

(A) Depressed cotton prices meant operating losses for cotton farms, and the government lost revenue from taxes on farm profits.

 

(B) Cotton production in several counties other than Q declined slightly the year that the support-payment program went into effect in Q.

 

(C) The first year that the support-payment program was in effect, cotton acreage in Q was 5% below its level in the base year for the program.

 

(D) The specified maximum per farm meant that for very large cotton farms the support payments were less per acre for those acres that were withdrawn from production than they were for smaller farms.

 

(E) Farmers who wished to qualify for support payments could not use the cotton acreage that was withdrawn from production to grow any other crop. A

COTTON在Q国家种的如此之丰收,导致市场消化不了这么多的COTTON,所以COTTON 的价格下跌了。为了应对,政府给肯把25%的土地弃置的农民一个直接的最大花的经济补偿.

问题就是,政府这样做,并不会遭到预算上的损失。

WHY

A 因为COTTON价格的下跌给政府带来了损失,因此政府这样的行动是有效的。也就是说这部分支出的钱可以通过COTTON价格的回升来弥补。因此总预算还是平衡了。

该题目如何理解?怎么不选择D?

试着解释看看

棉花生产过剩 -> 棉花价格下降

政府补助à棉花减产 -> 棉花价格上升

解决: The government’s program, if successful, will not be a net burden

on the budget.

正向解释就是 棉花价格上升 ->政府税收增加

正确答案 A 就是反向解释 棉花价格下降 ->政府税收减少

D 对大地主每英亩的补助 比 小地主少

跟 government’s net burden 无关
