14. Which of the following, if true, best completes the argument below?

Comparisons of the average standards of living of the citizens of two countries should reflect the citizens’ comparative access to goods and services. Reliable figures in a country’s own currency for the average income of its citizens are easily obtained. But it is difficult to get an accurate comparison of average standards of living from these figures, because______

(A) there are usually no figures comparing how much of two different currencies must be spent in order to purchase a given quantity of goods and services

(B) wage levels for the same job vary greatly from country to country, depending on cultural as well as on purely economic factors

(C) these figures must be calculated by dividing the gross national product of a country by the size of its population

(D) comparative access to goods and services is only one of several factors relevant in determining quality of life（A）

(E) the wealth, and hence the standard of living, of a country’s citizens is very closely related to their income

Eventually I figured it out. Thank you very much.

average standards of living ---reflects---access to goods and services;(premise or principle)

average income in native currency can be easily get---, BUT harder to use these figures for average standards of living because... (we can expect the answer must explain that something particularly with the value of natice currency is wrong...),

with this information in mind, it is easy to find that A is the best one.

还是不太明白啊

第一句话是在说 comparisons应该反映出人们获取货物和服务的情况 吗？

是comparison-->access吗？

那为什么D不对啊

Reliable figures in a country’s own currency for the average income of its citizens are easily obtained. But

be aware with the word "but", I think when you see the first sentence here, you may relate the answer to the "currencies"

呃，好像有点想明白了

这样理解对吗？

access是comparisons的充分条件

有了access就确保了comparisons的accurate了

是这样吗？

所以D错
