65. (


Sales of telephones have increased dramaticallyover the last year. In order to take advantage of this increase, MammothIndustries plans to expand production of its own model of telephone, whilecontinuing its already very extensive advertising of this product.




Which of the following, if true, provides mostsupport for the view that Mammoth Industries cannot increase its sales oftelephones by adopting the plan outlined above?







(A) Although it sells all of the telephones thatit produces, Mammoth Industries' share of all telephone sales has declined overthe last year.




(B) Mammoth Industries' average inventory oftelephones awaiting shipment to retailers has declined slightly over the lastyear.




(C) Advertising has made the brand name of MammothIndustries' telephones widely known, but few consumers know that MammothIndustries owns this brand.




(D) Mammoth Industries' telephone is one of threebrands of telephone that have together accounted for the bulk of the lastyear's increase in sales.




(E) Despite a slight decline in theretail price, sales of Mammoth Industries' telephones have fallen in the lastyear.







这个为什么选E呢?我在A 和E里面犹豫。A错是因为这个公司已经卖光了所有的telephone,所以增加生产可以提高销售额吗?

该题为weaken,题目说plan to expand production of its own model of telephone,then Sales of telephones will increase.
A:share declined并不意味着sales declined。如果去年占10%,今年占9%,但是今年因为整个市场卖的tel多,那其实sale还是增加了。

哦,A我明白了!谢谢

但是我在想这个E啊,为什么可以从去年的信息推出今年增加生产也不能增加销售额呢?去年可能生产量不够啊?

我也觉得 为什么能从去年的SALES 下降 能说明 今年SALES不能升高

因为去年大家的telephone sales: “dramatically” - 大大提高了, 而 MammothIndustries自己的电话机,降价大甩卖了结果还销售下降,说明不好卖啊,人家都销售额暴涨了,你降价了还卖不出去,今年如果还继续扩大生产,自然不是正确的解决方法。

价格下跌为什么一定就是甩卖呢?也许是因为去年供应量大了,所以价格自然略有下跌
