42.   
Editorial:

Regulations recently imposed by the government of Risemia call for unprecedented reductions in the amounts of pollutants manufacturers are allowed to discharge into the environment.  It will take costly new pollution control equipment requiring expensive maintenance to comply with these regulations.  Resultant price increases for Risemian manufactured goods will lead to the loss of some export markets.  Clearly, therefore, annual exports of Risemian manufactured goods will in the future occur at diminished levels.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument in the editorial?

(A) The need to comply with the new regulations will stimulate the development within Risemia of new pollution control equipment for which a strong worldwide demand is likely to emerge.

(B) The proposed regulations include a schedule of fines for noncompliance that escalate steeply in cases of repeated noncompliance.

(C) Savings from utilizing the chemicals captured by the pollution control equipment will remain far below the cost of maintaining the equipment.

(D) By international standards, the levels of pollutants currently emitted by some of Risemia's manufacturing plants are not considered excessive.

(E) The stockholders of most of Risemia's manufacturing corporations exert substantial pressure on the corporations to comply with environmental laws.

答案为A

请问选项C为什么不对呢？？谢谢

我觉得A说的其实和题干也有出入，题里不是说会对manufactured goods的出口有影响吗？机器设备本身的出口和出口货物是出口的两个分支，如果题里问的是总出口量不管是啥，那我觉得OK。。。但是别的选项都更不能削弱，所以只有选A了。请问我的思路对吗？

Resultant price increases for Risemian manufactured goods will lead to the loss of some export markets.
Clearly, therefore, annual exports of Risemian manufactured goods will in the future occur at diminished levels.



政府的监管要求降低企业向自然环境的污染排放数量。遥想达标必须配备昂贵的新的污染控制设备。导致企业产品的价格上升，出口造成损失。企业的年报中出口应该是减少的状态。

文章推理：监管-〉成本上升—〉产品价格上升—〉出口下降



Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument in the editorial?



(A) The need to comply with the new regulations will stimulate the development within Risemia of new pollution control equipment for which a strong worldwide demand is likely to emerge.

正确，兼管会促使污染控制设备的生产并且出口，所以对出口并没有影响。

(B) The proposed regulations include a schedule of fines for noncompliance that escalate steeply in cases of repeated noncompliance.

罚款对出口并没有直接的影响

(C) Savings from utilizing the chemicals captured by the pollution control equipment will remain far below the cost of maintaining the equipment.

加强，省得钱比安装成本要少，因此总成本还是要上升，促进出口下降

(D) By international standards, the levels of pollutants currently emitted by some of Risemia's manufacturing plants are not considered excessive.

和出口没有直接的关系

(E) The stockholders of most of Risemia's manufacturing corporations exert substantial pressure on the corporations to comply with environmental laws.

只是说遵守法律和出口并无直接关系
