The argument depends on assuming which of the following?
A. Apart from development related to the pipeline, there will be no new industrial development around the lake that will create renewed pollution in its waters.
B. There is no reason to believe that the leak-preventing technology would be ineffective when installed in the pipeline in Lake Konfa . C. The bottom of the lake does not contain toxic remnants of earlier pollution that will be stirred into the water by pipeline construction. (答案~~~)
D. Damage to the lake’s fish populations would be the only harm that a leak of oil from the pipeline would cause.
E. The species of fish that are present in Lake Konfa now are the same as those that were in the lake before it was affected by pollution.
D选项:pipeline漏油带来的唯一harm是危害鱼群。 首先:根据题干,不会发生漏油(provided this technology is effective),该选项与题干相违背 其次:会不会只对鱼群危害和该fear是否有道理无关
C选项:河底没有有毒残漏,这样安装pipeline时就不会二次污染了。
注意的是: the planned construction of an oil pipeline might revive pollution这里其实可以分为两层意思 一层是“泄露的污染”,根据题干已经派出 一层是“安装时带来的污染”,即C选项作者: DUKB24 时间: 2012-5-14 23:01
注意推理的题干中说given the method is effective...这里作者已经assume油是不可能漏的,LZ好好体会下整个推理链的书写,这个才是crack CR的核心啊
