OG V分册上一个小题

32. A recent spate of launching and operating mishaps with television satellites led to a corresponding surge in
claims against companies underwriting satellite insurance. As a result, insurance premiums shot up, making
satellites more expensive to launch and operate. This, in turn, had added to the pressure to squeeze more
performance out of currently operating satellites.
Which of the following, if true, taken together with the information above, best supports the conclusion that the
cost of television satellites will continue to increase?
(A) Since the risk to insurers of satellites is spread over relatively few units, insurance premiums are
necessarily very high.
(B) When satellites reach orbit and then fail, the causes of failure are generally impossible to pinpoint with
confidence.
(C) The greater the performance demands placed on satellites, the more frequently those satellites break
down.
(D) Most satellites are produced in such small numbers that no economies of scale can be realized.
(E) Since many satellites are built by unwieldy international consortia, inefficiencies are inevitable.

Underwrite在这里大致就是保险公司承保的疑似，另外投行承销IPO之类的似乎也可以用这个词。
大意：最近电视卫星的故障导致对承保卫星的保险公司的理赔要求大量增加，因此，保费增加，导致卫星的发射和维护更加昂贵（大致相当于今年你的车多出了几次事故要保险公司赔的多了，下年的保费就要增加了）。这样就会导致现有的卫星的负荷进一步增加（天上卫星因为事故少了，因为贵，可能发射的也少了）。加强：电视卫星的成本还将继续增加
A：保费为何高，对文中条件的进一步解释
B：如何确定故障，确定故障的准确度与成本无直接关系
C: 卫星负荷越大，死机的频率就越高（死机越多，理赔越多，保费越多，成本更高，剩下的越少，负荷更大，恶性循环）
D：规模经济与否与文中所述的发射运营成本无关，
E：效率是否高无关，与D相似

谢谢 我刚开始看不懂题目 于是就晕了  阅读对CR真是重要啊呜呜 我还有3天就2战了

另外在其他地方查了一下

underwrite

v.承保；写在……下面；给……保险

此题关键是看懂题目。我也是没看懂原文一句话。就选了D

恶性循环题其实是fill the gap特殊的一种形式：

题干解释：条件得到结论的关系
题目问：如何结论再得到条件

选项一定是在补充资料或者提炼宏观理论说去说明结论里的概念如何得到条件中的概念

结论 satellites performance
条件 satellites misharps

只有C选项在解释这个
