各位大大好!请问一道阅读题
Policymakers must confront the dilemma that fossil fuels continue to be anindispensable source of energy even though burning them produces atmosphericaccumulations of carbon dioxide that increase the likelihood of potentiallydisastrous global climate change. Currently, technology that would capture carbon dioxide emitted by powerplants and sequester it harmlessly underground or undersea instead of releasingit into the atmosphere might double the cost of generating electricity. Butbecause sequestration does not affect the cost of electricity transmission anddistribution, delivered prices will rise less, by no more than 50 percent. Research into better technologies forcapturing carbon dioxide will undoubtedly lead to lowered costs.
Sample Multiple-choice Questions — Select One Answer Choice
1. The passage implies which of the following about the current costof generating electricity?
A. It is higher than it would be if bettertechnologies for capturing carbon dioxide were available.
B. It is somewhat less than the cost of electricity transmission anddistribution.
C. It constitutes at most half of the delivered price of electricity.
D. It is dwelt on by policymakers to the exclusion of other costsassociated with electricity delivery.
E. It is not fully recovered by the prices charged directly toelectricity consumers.
Answer: C
答案没问题。不过不明白A哪里不对,不是“现在的成本比 好的技术被应用 时高”即“如果好的技术被应用,现在的成本会降低”的意思吗?
多谢多谢!
