GMAT 逻辑问题
16. Which of the following, if true, is the most logical completion of the argument below?
The tax system of the Republic of Grootland encourages borrowing by granting its taxpayers tax relief for interest paid on loans. The system also discourages saving by taxing any interest earned on saving. Nevertheless, it is clear that Grootland s tax system does not consistently favor borrowing over saving, for if it did, there would be no……
(A) tax relief in Grootland for those processing fees taxpayer s income, if any, that are set aside to increase that taxpayer s total savings
(B) tax relief in Grootland for the processing fees that taxpayers pay to lending institutions when obtaining certain kinds of loands.
(C) tax relief in Grootland for interest that taxpayers are charged on the unpaid balance credit card accounts
(D) taxes due in Grootland on the cash value of gifts received by taxpayers from banks trying to encourage people to open savings accounts
(E) taxes due in Grootland on the amount that a taxpayer has invested in interest-bearing savings accounts
答案A 完全不理解的说.
这个题好难啊!
题干的意思是:G的税收系统鼓励借贷,同时为这里的纳税人提供担保,以减税的形式去支付借贷的利息.而这个税收系统又不鼓励储蓄,它对储蓄所得征收利息税.然而(Nevertheless),非常清楚的是,G的税收系统并不一直偏好借贷胜于储蓄,因为如果它是这样的话,那么将不会……
题目要求找一个能在逻辑上使题干完整的选项.
请注意,题干的信息量非常大,也很绕,Nevertheless这个词非常关键,因为后面是作者的观点,正确选项必须和这个观点一致.即:正确选项的含义是G的税收系统不一直偏好借贷胜过储蓄.下面看for if it did,for表示后面说的是一个原因,要能够解释作者的观点,而这句话又是一个假设,含义是如果它偏好借贷胜过储蓄的话,那么……逻辑在这里又转了一个弯.
A选项的含义是,那么将不会有减税行为,如果有,那么这些减掉的税又会变成纳税人的储蓄.
这是个正确选项,因为作者的观点是G的税收系统不一直偏好借贷胜过储蓄,因为如果是这样的话,那么就不会有减税了,如果有任何的减税,减掉的税会变成纳税人的储蓄.这是一个合理的逻辑推论,表示G的税收系统本身存在内部的矛盾,这个系统本意是想要鼓励借贷,不鼓励储蓄,但鼓励借贷的结果却变成了储蓄增多.这正好证明了作者的观点.
