Mass transit authorities in large cities are struggling with deficits. Riders complain about delays and breakdowns, cuts in service, and fares higher than they are accustomed to paying. For all these reasons and because the price of gasoline is still not prohibitive, the number of passengers using public transportation has fallen, adding to the deficits.
Which of the following statements about the relationship between the number of riders using public transportation and the price of gasoline is best supported by the passage above?
(A) As the price of gasoline rises, the number of riders using public transportation rises.
(B)Even if the price of gasoline rises, the number of riders using public transportation will continue to decline.
(C) If the price of gasoline rises to a prohibitive level, the number of riders using public transportation will rise.
(D)The majority of riders using public transportation do not use gasoline; hence, fluctuatioins in gasoline prices are unlikely to affect the number of riders using public transportation.
(E) The price of gasoline is always low enough to make private transportation cheaper than public transportation; hence, fluctuations in gasoline prices are unlikely to affect the number of riders using public transportation.
正解:C
网上分析如下:若用A1表示delays and breakdowns, A2表示cuts in service, A3表示fares higher, A4表示the price of gasoline is still not prohibitive, B表示the number of passengers has fallen。则由题干中“For all these reasons and because the price of gasoline is still not prohibitive, the number of passengers using public transportation has fallen”可推出:A1 A2 A3 A4均是B的必要条件... (为什么???)
我的疑惑在于:
“for A, B” 或 “because A, B”的句型中, 为何是B->A而非A->B(即为何A是B的必要条件)?
本题中,B的出现完全可以是由A1A2A3A4以外的其他原因引起的啊..
