为神马D不对呢。。。。

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
Concerned about financial well-being of its elderly citizens, the government of Runagia decided two years ago to increase by 20 percent the government-provided pension paid to all Runagians over 65.  Inflation in the intervening period has been negligible, and the increase has been duly received by all eligible Runagians.  Nevertheless, many of them are no better off financially than they were before the increase, in large part because ________.
A.    They rely entirely on the government pension for their income
B.    Runagian banks are so inefficient that it can take up to three weeks to cash a pension check
C.    They buy goods whose prices tend to rise especially fast in times of inflation
D.    The pension was increased when the number of elderly Runagians below the poverty level reached an all-time high
E.    In Runagia children typically supplement the income of elderly parents, but only by enough to provide them with a comfortable living

同学,这道题很明显是E。 分析:政府pension提高20%,inflation影响极少,所有符合要求的老人确保得到。但是大多数no better off financially than they were before the increase。为什么?  D 答案 The pension was increased when the number of elderly Runagians below the poverty level reached an all-time high。pension原文已经说了提高了20%,这是百分之百的事实。但是D答案解释在哪种情况下提高,无关!!

我的理解是,因为人口增多了很多,所以分到每个人的就少啊

TOP

每个符合要求的老人都得到了。并不会因为人多而收到的少

TOP

为什么明显选E啊 求解
children都是从elderly那里获得补贴,但是这些钱仅仅只能提供给他们刚好合适的生活,并不能说明孩子一定会找他们elderly parents要钱啊 求指错

TOP

children后面不是有个副词么...typically...就说明一般情况下children都是从elderly parents那里supplement

TOP

E的意思你好像理解错了,说的应该是孩子们给他们的上年纪的父母经济支援,但是只到让他们能过上比较舒适生活的程度...所以这些老人还是得到了政府的补偿但是孩子给的就少了呗

c嘛~
我觉得这题目算是一个paradox,pension上涨,间歇的性的inflation可忽略,分配合理,导致结果却是生活质量没有改善。
a:完全依赖政府补助,无关选项。
b:略有影响,但是准确来说还是无关选项,因为拿到钱的快慢不决定生活质量的好坏
c:正确,因为他们买的那些商品在通货膨胀期间价格上涨特别快,改变了题目中的一个参数,既通货膨胀是有影响的,直接解释了paradox。
d:无关选项,不管贫困老年人是否达到新高,与题干中的结论无关。
e:children's supplement,新的元素,但是对解释paradox没有作用

c是错的,文章里面说的通货膨胀的影响可以忽略不计……e的话以前是小孩给老人钱,如果老人能拿到的钱多了,那么小孩子也就没必要再补贴给老人了,所以老人拿到的钱其实还是没变
