GWD-2-18

Last year all refuse collected by Shelbyville city services was incinerated.  This

incineration generated a large quantity of residue ash.  In order to reduce the amount

of residue ash Shelbyville generates this year to half of last year’s total, the city has

revamped its collection program.  This year city services will separate for recycling

enough refuse to reduce the number of truckloads of refuse to be incinerated to half

of last year’s number.  

Which of the following is required for the revamped collection program to achieve its aim?

A.        This year, no materials that city services could separate for recycling will be incinerated.

B.        Separating recyclable materials from materials to be incinerated will cost Shelbyville

less than half what it cost last year to dispose of the residue ash.

C.        Refuse collected by city services will contain a larger proportion of recyclable

materials this year than it did last year.

D.       The refuse incinerated this year will generate no more residue ash per truckload

incinerated than did the refuse incinerated last year.

E.        The total quantity of refuse collected by Shelbyville city services this year will be

no greater than that collected last year

E今年总的垃圾数量将不比去年多。无关

A 从可循环垃圾中被分离出来的材料将不会被焚烧。？？

B从垃圾中分离可循环垃圾将会花费去年残渣处理的一半成本。？？

D.今年垃圾的焚烧不比去年多产生残渣。？？

看着ABD都有道理。请赐教，谢谢！

我的发贴没人回复，是我的格式或什么有问题吗？这道题在链结中也没有讨论除了给出答案。因为我是第一次提问，所以还不太知道应该如何做？谢了！

enough refuse to reduce the number of truckloads of refuse to be incinerated to half

of last year’s number.  

结论是有关多少车REFUSE以便总数减到去年一半.

A 从可循环垃圾中被分离出来的材料将不会被焚烧。？？

分离出来的材料都是有用的了当然不算REFUSE了,也就不占TURCKLOAD了,无关

B从垃圾中分离可循环垃圾将会花费去年残渣处理的一半成本。？？

题目只说多少车,不需要考虑成本,无关.

D.今年垃圾的焚烧不比去年多产生残渣。？？

如果多了,就影响结论了

我支持D, 因为如果每卡车产生的ash不一样了原文的结论也就变了

Last year all refuse
        collected
by Shelbyville city services was incinerated. 
This incineration generated a large quantity of residue ash.  In order to reduce the amount of residue ash
Shelbyville generates this year to half of last year’s total, the city has revamped its collection program.  This year city services will separate for
recycling enough refuse to reduce the number of truckloads of refuse to be
incinerated to half of last year’s number.
                

今年市政府要將垃圾分類,回收足夠的可再生垃圾量,以降低垃圾焚燒量到去年的一半.

            

Which of the following is required for the revamped collection
program to achieve its aim?

A.       
This year, no materials that city
services could separate for recycling will be incinerated.

B.        
Separating recyclable materials from materials to be incinerated will cost
Shelbyville less than half what it cost last year to dispose of the residue
ash.

C.       
Refuse collected by city services will contain a larger proportion of
recyclable materials this year than it did last year.

跟去年相比,今年回收的垃圾中有一大部分是可回收垃圾. (這裡沒有提到是否降低送往焚化爐的垃圾數量,我覺得這裡說明不足成為支持結論的前提,因為訊息不完整)

D.       
The refuse incinerated this year will generate no more residue ash per
truckload incinerated than did the refuse incinerated last year.

今年每車送往焚化廠焚燒的垃圾,跟去年相比,將不會產生灰燼 (因為沒有多餘垃圾灰燼要處理,所以可以當成是結論成立的前提)

這是我的看法.

E.        
The total quantity of refuse collected
by Shelbyville city services this year will be no greater than that collected
last year.
