问题 Large national budget deficits do not cause large trade deficits. If they did, countries with the largest budget deficits would also have the largest trade deficits. In fact, when deficit figures are adjusted so that different countries are reliably comparable to each other, there is no such correlation. If the statements above are all true, which of the following can properly be inferred on the basis of them?
选项 A、Countries with large national budget deficits tend to restrict foreign trade.
B、Reliable comparisons of the deficit figures of one country with those of another are impossible.
C、Reducing a country’s national budget deficit will not necessarily result in a lowering of any trade deficit that country may have.
D、When countries are ordered from largest to smallest in terms of population, the smallest countries generally have the smallest budget and trade deficits.
E、Countries with the largest trade deficits never have similarly large national budget deficits.
答案 C
解析 该短文宣称巨额预算赤字不会造成贸易赤字。如果确实这样，一个有巨额预算和贸易赤字的国家可以减少它的预算赤字而仍然维持一个巨额的贸易赤字，因此选项(C)是正确答案；无法推出其他选项，该短文没有说任何关于国家是如何对巨额预算赤字做出反应的[选项(A)]；该短文指出不同国家的赤字数字的比较可以是比较可靠的[同选项(B)相反]；赤字规模和人口规模之间的联系[选项(D)]在该短文中没有讨论；最后，贸易赤字最大的国家有时有类似的巨额预算赤字[选项(E)]与该短文没有矛盾。
