问题 1 . In the aftermath of a worldwide stock-market crash, Country T claimed that the severity of the stock-market crash it experienced resulted from the accelerated process of denationalization many of its industries underwent shortly before the crash. Which of the following, if it could be carried out, would be most useful in an evaluation of Country T’s assessment of the causes of the severity of its stock-market crash?

选项 A、Calculating the average loss experienced by individual traders in Country T during the crash.
B、Using economic theory to predict the most likely date of the next crash in Country T.
C、Comparing the total number of shares sold during the worst days of the crash in Country T to the total number of shares sold in Country T just prior to the crash.
D、Comparing the severity of the crash in Country T to the severity of the crash in countries otherwise economically similar to Country T that have not experienced recent denationalization.
E、Comparing the long-term effects of the crash on the purchasing power of the currency of Country T to the immediate, more severe short-term effects of the crash on the purchasing power of the currency of Country T.

答案D

解析 (D)中提出的比较将有助于评价T国对该国股市下跌严重程度的解释。如果那些除了最近的非国有化,其他经济条件与T国类似的国家下跌的严重程度至少是一样大,那么就削弱了T国的解释。然而如果这些国家下跌的严重程度比T国小,就支持了该解释。因此,(D)是正确答案。选项(A)、(C)和(E)是好的选择,因为每项只关心衡量T国下跌的严重程度,没有对下跌原因的假想提出评估。T国下一次下跌的时间与评论这样的假想无关,因此,(B)不合适。
