大全2－5

5.     The city’s public transportation system should be removed from the jurisdiction of the municipal government, which finds it politically impossible either to raise fares or to institute cost-saving reductions in service. If public transportation were handled by a private firm, profits would be vigorously pursued, thereby eliminating the necessity for covering operating costs with government funds.

The statements above best support the conclusion that

(A) the private firms that would handle public transportation would have experience in the transportation industry

(B) political considerations would not prevent private firms from ensuring that revenues cover operating costs

(C) private firms would receive government funding if it were needed to cover operating costs

(D) the public would approve the cost-cutting actions taken by the private firm

(E) the municipal government would not be resigned to accumulating merely enough income to cover costs

the key is B,

however why not C? would some one please help me out???

Thx a lot!

我把would看成了could，所以理解偏了，谢谢你的提示！

请注意，此题是归纳题：

point 1:The city’s public transportation system should be removed from the jurisdiction of the municipal government, which finds it politically impossible either to raise fares or to institute cost-saving reductions in service政府应该放弃公共交通，因为政府既不能提高收益，也不能节省开支

point 2: If public transportation were handled by a private firm, profits would be vigorously pursued, thereby eliminating the necessity for covering operating costs with government funds私营能够提高收益，继而不用政府继续补贴公共交通。

point1+2===> (B) political considerations would not prevent private firms from ensuring that revenues cover operating costs政府应该让私营来用收入覆盖运营成本

这样，是不是能看出来D的偏颇之处呢？

似乎明白了。。。。谢谢
