正确答案:
A:Most people buy hybrid cars for reasons other than to save money in the long run.
P: 国会通过了法案,削减混合车的税收优惠。(潜台词:买混合车会更贵) C:接下来几年混合车的销量会有下降。 假设了:价格上涨导致销量下降。 我们的目标是要削弱:说明价格上涨不会导致销量下降 或者 直接说明销量不会下降 A: 人们买车的不是因为经济因素(潜台词:贵不贵不会太影响销量),攻击了假设,削弱了文章 我错选了D:油在接下来几年预测降低(目标是说明混合车价格和销量的关系,我说油价并跟文章没有什么关系,因为不能评价价格和销量的关系,就算有关,油价下降=买油车的人多=买混合车的人少,第一,其中两个等号相当于两个假设,都不能确定假设能被支持。第二,就算假设都成立,说明的也是油价跟混合车的销量关系,不是混合车价格和销量的关系,无关)
