2026 考研英语易错题：因果逻辑关系辨析
阅读以下段落，回答问题：
The decline in traditional book publishing has often been attributed solely to the rise of digital reading platforms. While e-books and audiobooks have undoubtedly altered consumer habits, this explanation overlooks other critical factors. The increasing cost of paper and printing materials has squeezed profit margins for publishers, making smaller titles financially unviable. Additionally, shifts in educational policies have reduced mandatory reading lists in schools, directly impacting youth book consumption. These interconnected issues have collectively contributed to the industry’s challenges, beyond just digital disruption.
The passage suggests that the main cause of the decline in traditional book publishing is:
A. The complete replacement of physical books by digital formats
B. A combination of economic pressures and systemic changes
C. Reduced educational emphasis on traditional reading practices
D. Rising production costs in the publishing industry
解析：
本题考查对段落中因果逻辑关系的准确判断，需识别核心原因与次要因素的区别。
- 段落开篇指出 “仅将传统图书出版业衰退归因于数字阅读平台兴起” 的观点存在局限，随后通过 “While” 让步承认数字阅读的影响，转而强调被忽视的关键因素：一是纸张和印刷材料成本上升压缩利润（经济压力），二是教育政策变化减少学校必读清单（系统变革）。
- 文中明确提到 “这些相互关联的问题共同导致了行业挑战”，说明衰退是多重因素叠加的结果，选项 B “经济压力与系统变革的结合” 准确概括了这一核心因果关系。
- 干扰项 A（数字格式完全替代实体书）与文中 “undoubtedly altered” 但非唯一原因的表述矛盾；C（教育对传统阅读重视下降）和 D（出版业生产成本上升）均为单一因素，仅属于 “interconnected issues” 中的一部分，未能涵盖全部原因。
答案：B
