35. Because of increases in the price of oil and because of government policies promoting energy conservation, the use of oil to heat homes fell by 40 percent from 1970 to the present, and many homeowners switched to natural gas for heating. Because switching to natural gas involved investing in equipment, a significant switch back to oil in the near future is unlikely.
The prediction that ends the passage would be most seriously called into question if it were true that in the last few years.
答案D中的OIL 应改为GAS吧,因为题中没有题与OIL相关的设备问题。谢谢。
(D) the cost of equipment to heat homes with oil has fallen sharply, while the price of heating with oil has fallen below the price of heating with natural gas
91. Leachate is a solution, frequently highly contaminated, that develops when water permeates a landifill’s site. If and only if the landfill’s capacity to hold liquids is exceeded does the leachate escape into the environment, generally in unpredictable quantities. A method must be found for disposing of leach ate. Most landfill leachate is sent directly to sewage treatment plants, but not all sewage plants are capable of handling the highly contaminated water.
这里的是污水处理厂吧,而不是植物。个人观点。
原文说:“Leachate(浸析液)是一种水渗透过垃圾填埋地后生成的溶液,这种溶液通常是高度污染的。当且仅当超出垃圾填埋的容水能力时(A),Leachate会泄露到外界环境中(B)。必须找到一种处理L的方法。许多L被送去用于污水灌溉,但不是所有的污水灌溉的植物都有能力处理这种被高度污染的水”。
原文中If and only if A then B(从B可推出A);选项E为If not A then not B(非A推非B)正确 |
