题目选项分析

Kernland imposes a high tariff on the export of unprocessed cashew nuts in order to ensure that the nuts are sold to domestic processing plants. If the tariff were lifted and unprocessed cashews were sold at world market prices, more farmers could profit by growing cashews. However, since all the processing plants are in urban areas, removing the tariff would seriously hamper the government's effort to reduce urban unemployment over the next five years.

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

【选项】A lack of profitable crops is driving an increasing number of small farmers in Kernland off their land and into the cities.

选项是否正确?

K国征了一个很高的税,针对出口未处理的坚果,目的是让坚果卖给本国处理厂。
(也就是说,如果不征税,农民就把坚果卖给外国人了。可能是外国人处理坚果比本国更便宜吧,政府征税是为了扭曲市场。那这个税是向谁征呢?肯定向出口未处理坚果的人征收。谁出口未处理的坚果?当然是农民。所以这个税是向农民征收的。)If the tariff were lifted and unprocessed cashews were sold at world market prices, more farmers could profit by growing cashews.
如果税取消了,没处理过的坚果卖给外国人了,农民会赚更多。
(这里lift是取消的意思。就算不知道这个意思也没关系,根据上文也能推断出来。税增加对农民不可能有好处。)However, since all the processing plants are in urban areas, removing the tariff would seriously hamper the government’s effort to reduce urban unemployment over the next five years.
然而,处理坚果的厂家都在城市里,取消税之后失业率就上去了。
(取消税收=>农民把坚果给外国人处理=>本国处理厂没活儿了=>城市居民失业)E是说,利润不足的话,农民就进城。利润不足是因为政府继续征税。农民进城所以失业率会更高。换言之,E的意思是说:如果政府继续征税,失业率会更高。失业率高是不好的。所以E的意思是说,征税是“不好”的。因此E是weaken。
