题目信息

Editorial:In Ledland, unemployed adults receive government assistance. To reduce unemployment, the government proposes to supplement the income of those who accept jobs that pay less than government assistance, thus enabling employers to hire workers cheaply. However, the supplement will not raise any worker's income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed. Therefore, unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement.


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

A:The government collects no taxes on assistance it provides to unemployed individuals and their families.
B:Neighboring countries with laws that mandate the minimum wage an employer must pay an employee have higher unemployment rates than Ledland currently has.
C:People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.
D:The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level.
E:People sometimes accept jobs that pay relatively little simply because they enjoy the work.

正确答案: C:People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.

作者:在L地,失业会得到政府援助。为了减少失业率,政府建议给那些收入低的人也给补助,以便让雇佣者得到雇佣。但是这样的话,他工不工作都能得到这么多,因此没有得到雇佣的人就不会受到经济刺激,想要去工作。(但是,这种对从业低收入人群的补助将不会把从业人员的收入提高到政府救援以上,因此,失业人员将不会有任何接受那些使他们有资格获得政府补助的职位的经济动力。)

Which of the following, if true about Ledland, most seriously weakens the argument of the editorial? 削弱作者的观点,也就是说计划可能是有效的(事实上,文章的逻辑是说 反正低收入工作加上政府补助也不会比没有工作的失业人员领取的政府援助要多,所以低收入工作对这个政策不会有反应)

A The government collects no taxes on assistance it provides to unemployed individuals and their families. 政府对那些失业的个人和家庭所提供的援助不收取任何税收 收不收税,无关选项

B Neighboring countries with laws that mandate the minimum wage an employer must pay an employee have higher unemployment rates than Ledland currently has.邻国怎么样(R国法律规定给最低工资,它的失业率比L高) 无关选项

C People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed. 已经被雇佣的人再找新工作的时候比没有工作的人容易得到高工资的工作。那么你刚开始找到低工资的工作后,就可以再去找更高的工作,而此时你拿到的钱不是最低(比较绕的一个逻辑链)(C说,有工作再找工作时会找到高工资,所以赶紧找工作,这样以后就能拿高工资工作了 这就是一个激励让失业的人去找工作)

D The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level. 失业人员每年所获得政府援助相较于政府所定义的贫困水平还要低 无关选项

E People sometimes accept jobs that pay relatively little simply because they enjoy the work. 

人们有时会简单的因为他们喜欢一份工作而选择这份工作,尽管这份工作的收入会相对比较低;(和激励无关哦 )
