Q43. Laws requiring the use of headlights during daylight hours can prevent automobile collisions. However, since daylight visibility is worse in countries farther from the equator, any such laws would obviously be more effective in preventing collisions in those countries. In fact. the only countries that actually have such laws are farther from the equator than is the continental United States.

Which of the following conclusions could be most properly drawn from the information given above?

(A) Drivers in the continental United States who used their headlights during the day would be just as likely to become involved in a collision as would drivers who did not use their headlights.

(B) In many countries that are farther from the equator than is the continental United States, poor daylight visibility is the single most important factor in automobile collisions.

(C) The proportion of automobile collisions that occur in the daytime is greater in the continental United States than in the countries that have Daytime headlight laws.

(D) Fewer automobile collisions probably occur each year in countries that have daytime headlight laws than occur within the continental United States.

(E) Daytime headlight laws would probably do less to prevent automobile collisions in the continental United States than they do in the countries that have the laws.

大全-Ⅰ-7.    Whenever a major airplane accident occurs, there is a dramatic increase in the number of airplane mishaps reported, a phenomenon that may last for as long as a few months after the accident. Airline officials assert that the publicity given the gruesomeness of major airplane accidents focuses media attention on the airline industry and the increase in the number of reported accidents is caused by an increase in the number of news sources covering airline accident, not by an increase in the number of accidents.
Which of the following, if true, would seriously weaken the assertions of the airline officials? D
(A) The publicity surrounding airline accidents is largely limited to the country in which the crash occurred.
(B) Airline accidents tend to occur far more often during certain peak travel months.
(C) News organizations do not have any guidelines to help them decide how severe or how close an accident must be for it to receive coverage.
(D) Airplane accidents receive coverage by news sources only when the news sources find it advantageous to do so.
(E) Studies by government regulations show that the number of airplane flight miles remains relatively constant from month to month.

Since daylight visibility is worse in countries farther from the equator, any such laws would obviously be more effective in preventing collisions in those countries.

Meaning: the farther from equator, the more effective the law to prevent collisions.

The only countries that actually have such laws are farther from the equator than is the continental United States.

Meaning: US does not have this law. The law exists in countries farther from the equator than the US does.

E) is right since it points out that the law would be less effective in US than in those countries who are farther from the equator than US and who have the law.

谢谢不过还是不理解，原文说防止collosions.然而只有白天可见度差的即离赤道远的地方才能使之有效。远离赤道的国家中只有US，那么E：这个law在US防止事故上其实不那么有用。意思相反了啊？应该是有效才对啊，因为US离赤道很远啊。

summer虾

题目：法律要求在白天使用headlights，防止collosions.然而只有白天可见度差的即离赤道远的地方才能使之有效。远离赤道的国家中只有US怎样怎样
E：这个law在US防止事故上其实不那么有用。
妈妈米哦肿么翻译都别扭。
题目这句话要理解the only countries that actually have such laws are farther from the equator than is the continental United States.
E中的do less与之呼应
