GWD6--Q4

In the past the country of Siduria has relied heavily on imported oil.  Siduria recently implemented a program to convert heating systems from oil to natural gas.  Siduria already produces more natural gas each year than it burns, and oil production in Sidurian oil fields is increasing at a steady pace.  If these trends in fuel production and usage continue, therefore, Sidurian reliance on foreign sources for fuel should decline soon.

 

 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

 

 

1. In Siduria the rate of fuel consumption is rising no more quickly than the rate of fuel production.
2. Domestic production of natural gas is rising faster than is domestic production of oil in Siduria.
3. No fuel other than natural gas is expected to be used as a replacement for oil in Siduria.
      
4. Buildings cannot be heated by solar energy rather than by oil or natural gas.
5. All new homes that are being built will have natural-gas-burning heating systems.

我当时做的时候在A/C当中犹豫，最后选了A.

C我理解为，将C取非就是“除了天然气，还有其他燃料能够作为SIDURIA石油的替代品”。但是政府已经说了implemented a program to convert heating systems from oil to natural gas.。是不是这样就等于削弱原文前提啊。。

请NN们指教

C 选项是指除了天然气之外没有其他的能源可以替代。  取非，有其他能源可以替代原能源。 但是没有说明这个其他能源的来路，可能是来自外国进口的，也能是国内自产的。
因此，不能削弱原题目。

我思路比较直接一点，就是说既然这个国家想要不依赖进口能源，那么必须要保证在未来国内的供给可以不断满足国内的消费，也就是消费增长的速度要慢于生产增长的速度。这样才能保证不进口。
