旧PREP PART2 28题

Hutonian Government Official:Federal law requires truck drivers to take a long break after driving for ten hours, but truck drivers frequently do not comply.Since the public rest areas along our highways cannot accommodate all the drivers needing a break, we plan to build more rest areas to increase the rate of compliance.

Hutonian Business Representative:But if the parking lots around our businesses are considered, there are more than enough parking places.

Which of the following, if true about Hutonia, would provide a reason for persisting with the government official's plan despite the objection?

(A) Public parking areas are evenly distributed along the highways.

(B) Truck drivers are most likely not to comply with the federal law if the total time required for a trip exceeds ten hours by less than an hour.

(C) In comparison to public rest areas, private parking lots near highways tend to be time-consuming for drivers to reach.

(D) Even when rest areas are available, some truck drivers park in places, such as highway access ramps, where their trucks are likely to cause accidents.

(E) Some public parking areas, particularly those on heavily traveled roads, are substantially larger than others.
按C中所说的，文章中的parking lots around our businesses就是private parking lots吗？而且Hutonian Business Representative说那句话的意思是说他们附近的停车场多，卡车司机可以到他们的停车厂来休息吗？我认为他想说的是停车场并没有那么少，像他们公司附近的停车场就绰绰有余了。到底怎么解释C呢？

楼主这个帖子应该分在逻辑板块哦

解决这个题要理解business representative 的意思：如果把私人停车场扩建了的话，就能提供充足甚至多余的parking places。

C选项的意思是，司机到达私人停车场的太费时间，基本都不肯来，停车位仍然不够，所以政府还是要扩建停车场地。


以下摘自manhattan论坛：

note the prompt:
...provide a reason for persisting with the government official's plan despite the objection?

--> this means that we have to show that the objection is invalid.

if choice (c) is true, then the most probable interpretation is that truckers will not take advantage of this option for the same reason they aren't taking advantage of it now -- because the private parking lots are too far away. in this case, since the private parking lots already exist and the truckers aren't using them for the reason stated here, we can throw away the objection

这么说来Hutonian Business Representative:  But if the parking lots around our businesses are considered, there are more than enough parking places.中的parking lots around our businesses 是指private parking？
