※ 引述《heystranger (卍旷世巨鲁霸气登台卍)》之铭言:
: Electric utilities pay less for low-quality coal per ton delivered than for
: high-quality coal. Yet more low-quality coalthan high-quality coal must be
: burned to generate the same amount of electricity. Moreover, per ton of coal
: burned,low-quality coal generates more ash than does high-quality coal, and
: the disposal of ash is becoming more and more expensive.
: The considerations above, if true, most strongly support which of
: the following claims?
: (A) A coal-burning utility might not be assured of benefiting economically
: by always adhering to the policy of keeping its overall coal purchasing
: costs as low as possible.
: (B) In those regions where the cost of disposing of coal ash is negligible,
: it is more expensive for coal-burning utilities to use high-quality
: coal than low-quality coal.
: (C) Transportation costs represent a smaller proportion of the cost per
: delivered ton for low-quality coal than for high-quality coal.
: (D) It is no less expensive to dispose of a ton of coal ash that results
: from the burning of high-quality coal than it is to dispose of a ton of
: coal ash that results from the burning of low-quality coal.
: (E) In regions where coal-ash disposal is the least expensive, reserves of
: low-quality coal are likely to decline at a faster rate than are
: reserves of high-quality coal.
在处理 coal disposal 最便宜的 "地区"
并没有翻转题目的事实:
coal disposal cost: low quality coal > high quality coal
所以无法确认 low quality coal 是否会较快消耗
: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
: 小弟资质愚钝不解答案为何是A,这题做了快10分钟...超难选择答案最後选了E
: 再回过头看A,我的理解A:购买低成本无法保证带来经济利益(不知道这大意对不对)
: 可是原文我找不到一个conclusion明确表明low quality就是不实用
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
题目就是要请你推结论,当然不会明确写出来
且此题考虑的并不完全是在讨论实用性,而是以经济效率来考虑
: 只有隐性的自己心里认为这个low quality不实用,与其说support,我怎麽觉得这题更
: 像assumption? 请大大指教!
题目资讯: cost: low quality coal 有优势
efficiency: high quality coal 有优势
disposal of ash: high quality coal 有优势
--> low quality 不见得有经济上的优势 (答案 (A))
我猜想你的疑点大概是,题目并没有明确指出,
high quality coal 和 low quality coal 总成本的优劣
但按照写作逻辑来看,先提出 low quality coal 的优势
而後再提其劣势,并举出两点,
当然自然而然得到答案 (A)- low quality coal 不见得有经济优势
且 (A) 的答案是相当保守,使用 "might",
并没有很武断的说总成本会较高
这答案当然不是 assumption - assumption 在推理过程属於"原因"的部分
而此题答案是需要题目条件来"支持"
这样问吧,你自己觉得是题目 support 答案 (drawn conclusion),
还是答案 (assumption) support 题目?
我想前者应该更符合一般思考的逻辑
