72. Large national budget deficits do not cause large trade deficits. If they did, countries with the largest budget deficits would also have the largest trade deficits. In fact, when deficit figures are adjusted so that different countries are reliably comparable to each other, there is no such correlation.
If the statements above are all true, which of the following can properly be inferred on the
basis of them?
(A) Countries with large national budget deficits tend to restrict foreign trade.
(B) Reliable comparisons of the deficit figures of one country with those of another are
impossible.
(C) Reducing a country’s national budget deficit will not necessarily result in a lowering of
any trade deficit that country may have.
(D) When countries are ordered from largest to smallest in terms of population, the smallest
countries generally have the smallest budget and trade deficits.
(E) Countries with the largest trade deficits never have similarly large national budget
这是一归纳题,countries的national budget deficits 和trade deficits怎样的关系,问题比然围绕这个展开;C和结论there is no such correlation最符合。C也有national budget deficits 和trade deficits核心词。

topic: A high -/-> B high <=> A,B don't have correlation with regard to number
solution: reduce A -/-> reduced B <=> A,B no such correlatioin
notes: it's a loose relationship, be careful to eliminate those strict definition. therefore, E, which use 'never' should be wrong.作者: templars 时间: 2011-2-15 06:49
