Several industries have recently switched at least partly from older technologies powered by fossil fuels to new technologies powered by electricity. It is thus evident that less fossil fuel is being used as a result of the operations of these industries than would have been used if these industries had retained their older technologies.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?
(A) Many of the industries that have switched at least partly to the new technologies have increased their output.
(B) Less fossil fuel was used to manufacture the machinery employed in the new technologies than was originally used to manufacture the machinery employed in the older technologies.
(C) More electricity is used by those industries that have switched at least partly to the new technologies than by those industries that have not switched.
(D) Some of the industries that have switched at least partly to the new technologies still use primarily technologies that are powered by fossil fuels.
(E) The amount of fossil fuel used to generate the electricity needed to power the new technologies is less than the amount that would have been used to power the older technologies.
答案是E项,可是E项为什么说fossil fuel generate electricity呢?older technologies powered by fossil fuel和new tech powered by electricity 应该新旧技术各自依靠的power不一样么?大神求指导啊! 作者: jane.seeker 时间: 2013-8-12 15:53
我觉得题目的意思是旧技术靠的是fossil fuel,新技术靠的是electricity,但是题目种隐藏了一个前提,就是electricity是要靠fossil fuel产生的,所以能不能减少fossil fuel的使用量就得比较旧技术所需的fossil fuel和electricity所需的fossil fuel作者: 拧发条喵 时间: 2013-8-12 16:04
Several industries have recently switched at least partly from older technologies powered by fossil fuels to new technologies powered by electricity. 几家工厂将部分以化石燃料为动力的旧技术更新为使用电力的新技术
It is thus evident that less fossil fuel is being used as a result of the operations of these industries than would have been used if these industries had retained their older technologies.
这说明了这些工厂使用新技术减少了化石燃料的使用
E.The amount of fossil fuel used to generate the electricity needed to power the new technologies is less than the amount that would have been used to power the older technologies.
新技术使用电力,而火力发电使用的化石燃料< 旧技术使用的化石燃料
如果旧技术要使用100吨燃料,新技术要100度电力,但如果发电100度需要花掉120吨燃料,结论就不成立,反之成立。
