According to the Tristate TransportationAuthority, ** certain improvements to the main commuter rail line wouldincrease ridership dramatically. Theauthority plans to finance these improvements over the course of five years byraising automobile tolls on the two highway bridges along the route the railline serves. Although the proposedimprovements are indeed needed, the authority's plan for securing the necessaryfunds should be rejected because it would unfairly force drivers to absorb theentire cost of something from which they receive no benefit.
Which of the following, if true, would cast themost doubt on the effectiveness of the authority's plan to finance the proposedimprovements by increasing bridge tolls?
(A) Before the authority increases tolls on any ofthe area bridges, it is required by law to hold public hearings at whichobjections to the proposed increase can be raised.
(B) Whenever bridge tolls are increased, theauthority must pay a private contractor to adjust the automated toll-collectingmachines.
(C) Between the time a proposed toll increase is announcedand the time the increase is actually put into effect, many commuters buy moretokens than usual to postpone the effects of the increase.
(D)When tolls were last increased on the two bridges in question, almost 20percent of the regular commuter traffic switched to a slightly longeralternative route that has since been improved.
(E) The chairman of the authority is a member ofthe Tristate Automobile Club that has registered strong opposition to theproposed toll increase.
答案是D,我选的时候再C和D之间犹豫了半天,可还是选错了。我觉得C和D都可以cast the most doubt.

Generally scientists enter their field with thegoal of doing important new research and accept as their colleagues those withsimilar motivation. Therefore, when anyscientist wins renown
as anexpounder of science to general audiences, most other scientists conclude thatthis popularizer should no longer be regarded as a true colleague.
The explanation offered above for the low esteemin which scientific popularizers are held by research scientists assumes that
(A) serious scientific research is not a solitaryactivity, but relies on active cooperation among a group of colleagues
(B) research scientists tend not to regard ascolleagues those scientists whose renown they envy
(C) a scientist can become a famous popularizer withouthaving completed any important research
(D) research scientists believe that those who are wellknown as popularizers of science are not motivated to do important new research
(E) no important new research can be accessible toor accurately assessed by those who are not themselves scientists 答案是D,我选C。我觉得C用的是NOT+WEAKEN。可以两个都解释一下吗? 谢谢了。 |
