※ 引述《scont ( )》之铭言:
: 75. (33198-!-item-!-188;#058&007254)
: In the year following an eight-cent increase in the federal tax on a pack of
: cigarettes, sales of cigarettes fell ten percent. In contrast, in the year
: prior to the tax increase, sales had fallen one percent. The volume of

: of cigarettes.

: a significant amount.
: B. The information available to consumers on the health risks of smoking
: remained largely unchanged in the period before and after the tax increase.
: C. Most consumers were unaware that the tax on cigarettes was going to
: increase.
: D. During the year following the cigarette tax increase, many consumers had
: less income, in inflation-adjusted dollars, than they had had in the previous
: year.
: E. During the year after the tax increase, there was a greater variety of

: ANS:(B)
: 我想问一下 题目主要不是在讨论税跟销量的关系吗?为什麽会跟危害健康有关?
: 感谢回答~
该题要问的是strengthen
b选项讲的是消费者不论是在税增加前或增加後,所能得到的、关於抽菸会导致健康风险
的资讯并没有太大改变
换句话说,会影响销售量的不是其他的原因(资讯),而是题目所说的增税的关系
所以strengthen该题主旨
