请教OG11VR-44, 看了解释更不明白?

44Laws requiring the use of headlights during daylight hours can prevent automobile collisions. However, since daylight visibility is worse in countries farther from the equator, any such laws would obviously be more effective in preventing collisions in those countriesIn factthe only countries that actually have such laws are farther from the equator than is the continental United States.  这句话难道不是翻译为:事实上,美国是唯一一个在远离赤道的国家中实行(白天开头灯)法律的国家。

Which of the following conclusions could be most properly drawn from the information given above?

(A)  Drivers in the continental United States who used their headlights during the day would be just as likely to become involved in a collision as would drivers who did not use their headlights

(B)  In many countries that are farther from the equator than is the continental United States poor daylight visibility is the single most important factor in automobile collisions-

(C)  The proportion of automobile collisions that occur in the daytime is greater in the continental United States than in the countries that have daytime headlight laws

(D)  Fewer automobile collisions probably occur each year in countries that have daytime headlight laws than occur within the continental United States

(E)  Daytime headlight laws would probably do less to prevent automobile collisions in the continental United States than they do in the countries that have the laws.在美国实行日间开头灯法律来防止车辆相撞的有效性可能比那些有些相同法律的国家要小。请问这里的countries that have the laws是指那些国家,又从那里获得如此信息?

Argument Construction

Situation Laws requiring the use of headlights during the daytime are more effective at preventing car collisions in countries with 10wer daylight visibility, that isin countries at greater distances from the equatorThe only countries having these laws are those located farther from the equator than is the continental US

Reasoning What conclusion can be drawn from this information? Countries with daytime headlight laws are all farther from the equator than is the continental USThe location is significant because daytime visibility is worse in those countries than it is in the continental USHow effective apreventing collisions would such laws be in the continental United States with its greater proximity to the equator? It is reasonable to conclude that such laws would be less effective at preventing collisions there than they are in the countries farther from the equator

答案是E.

这道题目很明显ETS的出题思路是说因为近赤道的国家的日间能见度要比远离赤道的国家(北美大陆)的能见度高,所以白天开车灯的法令在离赤道近的国家没有比在北美大陆(远离赤道的国家)有效防止撞车事件。我的问题是,如果我的理解正确的话,E的解释不是正好和解题思路相反?到底我那里理解错了?

黄线部分的意思应该是:
事实上,唯一实行这种法律的几个国家都比美国离赤道更远.

the only countries是有这种用法的,给个例子:

        

    

Sudan, Kenya and Egypt are the
only countries
I have been able to find where a country administers territory
on the other side of a boundary line where they technically have no sovereignty.

我的理解

题目讲的是  事故是由于能见度的问题   然后说离赤道越远能见度越差  最后说了美国离赤道的距离比那些颁布了法令的国家离赤道的距离近

所以综合考虑   要是美国实施了法令  能见度的提升肯定比那些之前的国家少  所以效果就要差一些    就是E

arcadia说得很对.偶可以用一个小Model来作点补充.
 按照题干的说法,collisions和daylight visibility是相关的,设其为C(V). 比美国离赤道更远的国家的daylight visibility为Vf,美国的是Vu,显然:
Vf<Vu  => C(Vf)>C(Vu)
通过use headlights 使daylight visibility提高到Ve,由于人的眼睛是一样的,所以Ve对任何国家都一样,此时的collisions则为C(Ve).显然:
C(Vf)-C(Ve)>C(Vu)-C(Ve)
所以,答案为E.

谢谢两位的解答.adven的翻译已经让我明白自己的错误在对黄线句意的理解有误,导致对于提干的整体理解反掉了。关键是那个than,没有仔细研究。ETS可真是够恶心的,在语法部分要求我们要看到句子的结构平行,表达正确而简洁,比较前后要一致。自己写出来的,不管是逻辑还是阅读都有那么多句子是不符合语法要求,在我看来都是需要划线改错的。
