D.   Natural weathering will continue to be a more significant cause of the deterioration of Machu Picchu than tourist traffic

题目说cable car ==>a large increase in tourism ==>accelerate the deterioration of a site，而D引出他因来消弱结论不是么？

第一感觉也是D

carolinelmf

A项是毫不搭伽的，原居民有什么关联呢？这里的两个要素是cable和危害，E项正确地把它们联系起来了。

ricee

A/E感觉都不好啊。

原文：开车对人有危险->造缆车->游客大量增长->加速毁坏遗迹。 结论：造缆车肯定会伤害遗迹

要求削弱。

A - 每天坐缆车去遗迹的游客比原住民少 - 无关比较

E - 缆车会替代现在严重毁坏遗迹的旅游巴士。可是，根据原文，造缆车是出于对人身安全的考虑，没说缆车本身对遗迹的毁坏就一定小啊。

（难道是说，提出了这个论据，对方就一定得再动脑子找个证据证明缆车本身对遗迹的伤害不一定比旅游巴士对遗迹的伤害小？OMG，原来所谓逻辑就是大家来找茬！）

From my point of view, choice A is better than E. Since E just states that cable car can diminish the damage caused by the tour buses, but from the information above we could not know whether damage could be caused by cable car. So it is not a good choice. While on the other hand, choice A states that the population is not large enough to destory the site.

Absolutely E is the answer.

 the tour buses whose large wheels and corrosive exhaust at present do significant damage to the site---- significant damage

cable car is certain to result in harm to the ruins----- only harm to the ruins.

the "harm" is less serious and is different to damage. plus, the damage is significant. Therefore, the cable car is better than the tour bus.

A. it has nothing to do with the resident population

B. support the arguement

C.D, irrelative to the question.

BTW, the question is asking us to argue that the cable car should instead of the tour bus. Read the question carefully!!!

pls don't think too mush useless, some upstairs.

Vote for E!

As long as you could challenge the conclusion of the argument, the answer is right.

The conclusion is "installation of a cable car is certain to result in harm to the ruins", so a evidence for "not necessarily result in harm" is sufficient to challenge the argument. You don't have to follow the reasoning line of the original argument--"the tourist polulation"

So, E is definately the answer.

顶E！

以下是引用kathleen在2005-7-28 12:37:00的发言：

我也同意选A

此题的结论是由于使用cable car导致游客人数增加而使环境更加恶化.在这个结论中作者想要强调的应该是游客人数增加这一原因是主要因素,所以(A)选项中说游客人数实际上并没有增加反而减少了,正好削弱了题目中的结论.

而(E)选项看似正确,但仔细分析后会发现和原问结论应该是无关的

请NN们指导

我也同意这位同学的说法，

 However, since the presence of large numbers of tourists tends to accelerate the deterioration of a site, installation of a cable car is certain to result in harm to the ruins.

可否请NN详细解释一下E项的解释和文、题目中结论所说的恶化原因有什么联系？

cable car导致游客多，damage了ruin。削弱：cable car替代大巴减少了damage。结论最大。
我还选过C,名胜古迹,过度推理厉害了。
