讨论og12-22

22. Plan: Concerned about the welfare of its senior citizens, the government of Runagia decided two years ago to
increase by 20 percent the government-provided pension paid to all Runagians age sixty-fi ve and older.
Result: Many Runagian senior citizens are no better off fi nancially now than they were before the increase.
Further information: The annual rate of infl ation since the pension increase has been below 5 percent, and the
increased pension has been duly received by all eligible Runagians.
In light of the further information, which of the following, if true, does most to explain the result that followed
implementation of the plan?


(A) The majority of senior citizens whose fi nancial position has not improved rely entirely on the government
pension for their income.
(B) The Runagian banking system is so ineffi cient that cashing a pension check can take as much as three
weeks.
(C) The prices of goods and services that meet the special needs of many senior citizens have increased at a
rate much higher than the rate of infl ation.
(D) The pension increase occurred at a time when the number of Runagians age sixty-fi ve and older who were
living below the poverty level was at an all-time high.
(E) The most recent pension increase was only the second such increase in the last ten years.

答案选c。可是我觉得c也不是很准确。如果给老年人用的食品和服务的价格增加了但是增加幅度没有超过15%的话,那么老年人的生活条件应该还是变好了的呀。

C是最合理的解释了啊,它阐述了一种可能性,导致老年人生活并没变好~~

注意答案的关键词:have increased at a rate much higher than the rate of infl ation.
说的很明白,“食品和服务的价格增长率” 远远超过 “通货膨胀”!
这个答案很准确!
