T-9-Q33.
                

Which of the following, if true , most logically completes the passage?

 

A recent poll found that over 80 percent of the residents of Nalmed Province favored a massive expansion of the commuter rail system as a means of significantly easing congestion on the province’s highways and were willing to help pay for the expansion through an increase in their taxes. Nevertheless, the poll results indicate that expansion of the rail system, if successfully completed, would be unlikely to achieve its goal of easing congestion, because        .

 

1. most of people in favor of expanding the rail system reported less congestion during their highway commute as the primary benefit they would experience.
                   正确

2. of the less than 20 percent of residents not counted as favoring the expansion, about half claimed to have no opinion one way or the other.

3. the twice-daily periods of peak congestion caused by people commuting in cars have grown from about an hour each to almost two and a half hours each in the past 20 years.

4. expanding the commuter rail system will require the construction of dozens of miles of new railroads.

5. the proposed expansion to the commuter rail system will make it possible for some people who both live and work at suburban locations to commute by rail.

这道题argue的是能否通过建设轨道交通减轻高速公路的压力，因此只有a选项符合题意

A说，赞成轨道交通系统扩充的大部分人报告说她们（从这个扩充计划中）的主要收益是公路上（可以因此而）减少的拥挤。换句话说，大部分人都倾向于使用公路交通。这样这个铁路扩充计划对于减少公路上的拥挤就没有多少用了。

我看了之后，觉得既然大多数人的主要收益来自于减少的拥挤，那么这个扩充计划如果成功的话，肯定会减少拥挤，并且取得成功，而不是像原文结论所说的不会成功的缓解交通压力呀？前后有矛盾呀。请各位大虾指教。

Ａ是说大部分人都倾向于公路交通，所以铁路人会少很多→不会很拥挤,所以铁路的扩充并非对症下药，是缺乏意义的

That means most of advocators think they will experience a situation with less congestion in the future.If all people in the city thinking in the same way ,what would happen ?Maybe all of them will drive their cars onto the highway since they think there would be less congestion there.Then the program will be failed.

Choice A is correct, because the expansion plan can ease the congestion on the rail highway, but not on the highway -road system. Most supporters appear to have mistakened the two concepts: mistake rail highway for road highway. In this sense, the plan cannot help the goal.

谢谢了哈，看题失误。

嘿嘿～这是行走钢索姐姐说的那个题目．．．是选Ａ～～～选项好难读的啊．．．我认识的几个人都选错了

Vidal.P

意思大概懂了，很多人是看不懂 A的表述，我觉得可以分成2部分，
1、 most of people（主语） in favor of expanding the rail system（补语） reported（谓语）
2、［宾语从句+倒装］less congestion during their highway commute as the primary benefit they would experience

改回来是：
most of people in favor of the rail system / reported / thery would experience less congestion (as the primary benefit) during their highway commute.
