单选题 Companies in the country of Kollontay can sell semiconductors in the country of Valdivia at a price that is below the cost to Valdivian companies of producing them. To help those Valdivian companies, the Valdivian legislature plans to set a minimum selling price in Valdivian for semiconductors manufactured in Kollontay that is ten percent greater than the average production costs for companies in Valdivian.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously threatens the success of the plan?

A、 The annual rate of inflation in Kollontay is expected to exceed ten percent within the next year.
B、 Valdivian is not the only country where companies in Kollontay currently sell semiconductors.
C、 Some Valdivian companies that sell semiconductors have announced that they plan to decrease their price for semiconductors.
D、 The government of Kollontay will also set a minimum price for selling semiconductors in that country.
E、 (E) Emerging companies in countries other than Kollontay will still be able to sell semiconductors in Valdivia at a price below that cost to Valdivian companies to manufacture them.

【正确答案】 E

【答案解析】[解析] 本题属于“为达到一个目的而提出一个方法”类型的反对。段落推理为“为了帮助Valdivia公司，要求Kollontay生产的在Valdivia销售的半导体的价格提高”。反对一般反对所提出的方法。(E)指出Kollontay以外的国家的公司仍然可以低价销售，也就质疑了“要求提高Kollontay生产的半导体价格”的可行性。
