感觉这个题B选项理由有点牵强,
(B) The number of automobiles built by Deluxe each year has not increased sharply since 1970.
文章没有任何地方暗示生产数量同durability of automobiles有什么必然联系。生活常识中也不见得可以得出这种结论。如果说没有增长可以支持durability of automobiles,我倒是觉得D选项中的前半部分D) Since 1970, Deluxe has made fewer changes in the automobiles it manufactures可以支持durability of automobiles。 所以,本人觉得这个题目出得不是很好。请大家指正。谢谢。
12. An advertisement designed to convince readers of the great durability of automobiles manufactured by the Deluxe Motor Car Company cites as evidence the fact that over half of all automobiles built by the company since 1970 are still on the road today, compared to no more than a third for any other manufacturer.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the advertisement’s argument?
(A) After taking inflation into account, a new Deluxe automobile costs only slightly more than a new model did in 1970.
(B) The number of automobiles built by Deluxe each year has not increased sharply since 1970.
(C) Owners of Deluxe automobiles typically keep their cars well maintained.
(D) Since 1970, Deluxe has made fewer changes in the automobiles it manufactures than other car companies have made in their automobiles.(B)
(E) Deluxe automobiles have been selling at relatively stable prices in recent years.
