问题 The recent decline in the value of the dollar was triggered by a prediction of slower economic growth in the coming year. But that prediction would not have adversely affected the dollar had it not been for the government’ s huge budget deficit, which must therefore be decreased to prevent future currency declines. Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the conclusion about how to prevent future currency declines?

选项 A、The government has made little attempt to reduce the budget deficit.
B、The budget deficit has not caused a slowdown in economic growth.
C、The value of the dollar declined several times in the year prior to the recent prediction of slower economic growth.
D、Before there was a large budget deficit, predictions of slower economic growth frequently caused declines in the dollar s value.
E、When there is a large budget deficit, other events in addition to predictions of slower economic growth sometimes trigger declines in currency value.

答案D

解析 该论述假设一个特定的预测只有在伴随有巨额预算赤字时才会引起货币贬值,由于选项(D)指出这项预测在没有巨额预算赤字时也能引起货币贬值,选项(D)是正确答案。一种方法没有充分地执行并不代表该方法是无效的。因此,选项(A)不合适。由于没有提到经济增长放缓的发生,什么引起的这次放缓是无关的,因此,选项(B)不合适。由于(C)支持预算赤字是货币贬值的潜在原因,(C)不合适。选项(E)不合适,因为它支持必须减少预算赤字的论述。
