Ronald: According to my analysis of the national economy, housing prices should not increase during the next six months unless interest rates drop significantly.
Mark: I disagree. One year ago, when interest rates last fell significantly, housing prices did not increase at all.
It can be inferred from the conversation above that Mark has interpreted Ronald’s statement to mean that
(A) housing prices will rise only if interest rates fall
(B) if interest rates fall, housing prices must rise
(C) interest rates and housing prices tend to rise and fall together
(D) interest rates are the only significant economic factor affecting housing prices
(E) interest rates are likely to fall significantly in the next six months
答案选B。

这种题目一直是我的死穴来的。B选项貌似是Ronald的Point。所以，其实该题意思是Mark如何解读Ronald的意见么？

Ronald说：housing prices should not increase during the next six

months unless interest rates drop significantly （必要条件）

有两种解释：

#1： 如果利率没有大幅下调，房价就不会上涨

#2：如果房价上涨了，那么利率一定大幅下调了。

Mark理解成：如果利率大幅下调了，房价一定上涨，这是充分条件，和必要

条件不一样。
答案A才是和Ronald说的一样的，都是必要条件。

我也觉得题目好疑惑啊
Mark has interpreted Ronald’s statement to mean that，到底是Mark mean 还是Ronald mean 呢
