20. Despite the approach of winter, oil prices to indus- trial customers are exceptionally low this year and likely to remain so. Therefore, unless the winter is especially severe, the price of natural gas to indus- trial customers is also likely to remain low.
Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the conclusion above?
(B) The industrial users who consume most natural gas can quickly and cheaply switch to using oil instead.
答案选B 我不是很理解 题目中并没有就OIL 和GAS进行比较啊
而且他的最后结论说 unless the winter is especially severe, the price of natural gas to indus- trial customers is also likely to remain low 那么隐含意思就是说,如果冬天很冷的话 那么, gas的价格也是会上涨的
那么,和B中的描述有什么关系
因果题, 结果是"工业用户的天然气价格会保持低水平"
找原因: 如果工业用户如果可以便宜地迅速转换使用石油, 天然气公司就会采用保持低价格的策略, 防止天然气的工业用户 去使用石油. 这就是(B)中隐含的答案. 因为天气不能决定价格, 供求关系才是决定价格的重要因素.
