以下摘自费费宝典详解版:
112. Older United States automobiles have been identified as contributing disproportionately to global air pollution. The requirement in many jurisdictions that automobiles pass emission-control inspections has had the effect of taking many such automobiles out of service in the United States, as they fail inspection and their owners opt to buy newer automobiles. Thus the burden of pollution such older United States automobiles contribute to the global atmosphere will be gradually reduced over the next decade.
Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. It is impossible to separate the air of one country or jurisdiction from that of others, since air currents circle the globe.
B. When automobiles that are now new become older, they will, because of a design change, cause less air pollution than older automobiles do now.
C. There is a thriving market for used older Untied States automobiles that are exported to regions that have no emission-control regulations.
D. The number of jurisdictions in the United States requiring automobiles to pass emission-control inspections is no longer increasing.
E. Even if all the older automobiles in the United States were retired from service, air pollution from United States automobiles could still increase if the total number of automobiles in use should increase significantly.
The passage draws the conclusion that the share of pollution of such older US automobiles will be gradually reduced over the next 10 years. The simple reason provided is that these cars will be eliminated from the roads in the US. However, by pointing out that these cars will be used in other countries through a market exporting them to other regions, Choice C disproves the righteousness of the argument.
A, even if we cannot separate the air, it is still easy to calculate the quantity of pollution before emitting the pollution. A cannot weaken the conclusion.
B, the passage is talking about THAT part of pollution from old cars. B does not bear on the topic.
D, even if the number is not increasing, the old cars in those already passed will be put out of road. D does not weaken the conclusion.
E. The passage is focusing on THAT part of pollution from old cars. E does not bear on THAT part of pollution from old cars.
