我觉得这道题用词用得那叫一个精辟:
186.
Offshore oil-drilling operations entail an
unavoidable(表明通过什么方法都不能避免)risk of an oil spill, but importing oil on
tankers
presently(表明通过某某方法在未来是可以避免的,正如A)entails an even greater such risk per barrel of oil. Therefore, if we are to
reduce the risk of an oil spill without curtailing our use of oil, we must invest more in offshore
operations and import less oil on tankers.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?
(A) Tankers can easily be redesigned so that their use entails less risk of an oil spill.
(B) Oil spills caused by tankers have generally been more serious than those caused by
offshore operations.
(C) The impact of offshore operations on the environment can be controlled by careful
management.
(D) Offshore operations usually damage the ocean floor, but tankers rarely cause such
damage.
(E) Importing oil on tankers is currently less expensive than drilling for it offshore.
