CR695(assumption类)
City council member: Demand for electricity has been increasing by 1.5 percent a year, and there simply is no more space to build additional power plants to meet future demand increases. We must therefore begin to curtail usage, which is why I propose passing ordinances requiring energy-conservation measures in all city departments.
城市委员会成员:对电力的需求一年以1.5%持续增长,而且已经没有额外的空间去建立发电站去满足未来对电力的需求。因此,我们必须开始缩减电力使用,这正是为什么我建议要通过在城市所有部门实行电力节能措施的法案。 解析:这道题需要我们去找出文中proposal的假设,假设类题目要注意做题步骤。首先,正确的假设类题目的答案一定是与文中infer内容相关,且能支持infer的内容。其次,我们可以用“取非”的方案去检验答案是否正确。
The city council member`s proposal assumes which of the following?
A. Existing power plants do not have the capacity to handle all of the projected increase in demand for electricity.
现存的发电站没有能力去应对所有的电力预计增加度,这说明如果现有的发电站都无法增加电量供应(即无法满足未来电量的增加),且没有空间建立新的发电站,那么确实只能节能了,能够支持上述的proposal。该选项为正确答案。
B. No city departments have implemented energy-conservation measures voluntarily.
没有政府部门自愿采取节能措施,与文章infer内容无关,可排除。
C. Passing ordinances designed to curtail electricity usage will not have negative economic consequences for the city.
通过该项法案并不会对城市的经济造成负面影响,本文proposal主要是跟未来电力供求不均相关,并未涉及到经济方面的影响,故排除。
D. Residential consumers are not responsible for the recent increases in demand for electricity.
最近电力需求增加并不是由于居民用电需求造成的,与推断内容无关,可排除。
E. City departments that successfully conserve energy will set a good example for residential and industrial consumers of electricity.
成功节能的政府部门会为居民和工厂用电做出一个好的榜样,与文中推断内容无关,可排除。更多关于出国留学考试的个性化问题敬请咨询新航道官网
