Q40:
From 1973 to 1976, total LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> consumption of cigarettes increased 3.4 percent,
and total sales of chewing tobacco rose 18.0 percent. During the same period, total
LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> population increased 5.0 percent.
If the statements above are true, which of the following conclusions can be properly drawn?
A. LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> manufacturers of tobacco products had higher profits in 1976 than in 1973.
B. Per capita consumption of cigarettes in the LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> was lower in 1976 than in 1973.
C. The proportion of nonsmokers in the LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> population dropped slightly between 1973 and 1976.
D. United States manufacturers of tobacco products realize a lower profit on cigarettes than on chewing tobacco.
E. A large percentage of United States smokers switched from cigarettes to chewing tobacco between 1973 and 1976.
我的思路:在这段期间内,抽cigarette的人增加了3.4%(比平均增加人口少)chewing tobacco的人增加18%(比平均增加人口多)所以除了增加的人口里都chewing tobacco外,抽cigarette的人应该会有一些转移到chewing tobacco,才会造成 tobacco的人口增加这么多,不是吗?? |
