我刚开始也不明白,后来想清楚了。 文中scheduled flights 和airplane是两回事。通常,1架飞机一天可以执行若干次航班。 也就是说,如果问题中提到的被取消的9个航班是应该由1、2个飞机来执行的,那么很有可能是由于机械故障。但如果被取消的9个航班是应该由2个以上的飞机来执行,而该航空公司每天最多有1、2个飞机出现机械故障,那么有可能是天气原因等等造成的。
23. On a certain day, nine scheduled flights on Swift Airlines were canceled. Ordinarily, a cancellation is due to mechanical problems with the airplane scheduled for a certain flight. However, since it is unlikely that Swift would have the mechanical problems with more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day, some of the nine cancellations were probably due to something else. The argument depends on which one of the following assumptions? A.More than one or two airplanes were scheduled for the nine canceled flights. B.Swift Airlines has fewer mechanical problems than do other airlines of the same size. C.Each of the canceled flights would have been longer than the average flight on Swift Airlines. D.Swift Airlines had never before canceled more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day. E.All of the airplanes scheduled for the canceled flights are based at the same airport. LS曾经解释过(dreambuilder),可是还是不明白为什么选A。 具体的解题思路是什么呀?(FF给与的解释很含糊)谢谢! -- by 会员 huadan (2010/1/14 16:32:41)
