Q10.       p2-cr      3.    (24117-!-item-!-188;#058&000708)

 

Northern Air has dozens of flights daily into and out of Belleville
                Airport, which is highly congested.  Northern Air depends for its success on economy and quick turnaround and consequently is planning to replace its large planes with Skybuses, whose novel aerodynamic design is extremely fuel efficient.  The Skybus' fuel efficiency results in both lower fuel costs and reduced time spent refueling.

 

Which of the following, if true, could present the most serious disadvantage for Northern Air in replacing their large planes with Skybuses?

 

(A) The Skybus would enable Northern Air to schedule direct flights to destinations that currently require stops for refueling.

(B) Aviation fuel is projected to decline in price over the next several years.

(C) The fuel efficiency of the Skybus would enable Northern Air to eliminate refueling at some of its destinations, but several mechanics would lose their jobs.

(D) None of Northern Air's competitors that use Belleville
                Airport are considering buying Skybuses.

(E) The aerodynamic design of the Skybus causes turbulence behind it when taking off that forces other planes on the runway to delay their takeoffs.

答案是E， 不知道怎么解释 ？

e是说,Skybus的设计,会在起飞时候导致涡流,这种行为会延迟后面飞机的起飞

而原文有一句,Northern Air depends for its success on economy and quick turnaround,注意quick turnaround,很明显E在weaken这个词了
