Question 18:

Last year all refuse collected by Shelbyville city services was incinerated.  This

incineration generated a large quantity of residue ash.  In order to reduce the amount

of residue ash Shelbyville generates this year to half of last year’s total, the city has

revamped its collection program.  This year city services will separate for recycling

enough refuse to reduce the number of truckloads of refuse to be incinerated to half

of last year’s number.  

Which of the following is required for the revamped collection program to achieve its aim?

A.      This year, no materials that city services could separate for recycling will be incinerated.

B.      Separating recyclable materials from materials to be incinerated will cost Shelbyville

less than half what it cost last year to dispose of the residue ash.

C.      Refuse collected by city services will contain a larger proportion of recyclable

materials this year than it did last year.

D.      The refuse incinerated this year will generate no more residue ash per truckload

incinerated than did the refuse incinerated last year.

E.      The total quantity of refuse collected by Shelbyville city services this year will be

no greater than that collected last year.

Answer:

请问划线的是什么意思，偶看不懂这里，偶猜D,

iceboy

I choose E.

I pick D. Underlined part means that they are going to incinerate as much as half the number of truckloads of refuse as last year. For example, if last year 10 truckloads were incinerated, 5 will be this year.

I agree D.

For E, no matter the total refuse increse or decrese this year, the question already told us that "the number of truckloads is the half of last year's number"

虽然我没有看懂这句话，可是E是一个比较明显的ETS迷惑选项。

请问NN，跟我说说这个划线的结构。还是不明白，这个里面的separate是什么的干活？

This year city services will separate 难道是this year city serivces 将分离 for...有点怪怪的！

我理解这句话的意思是：city services 将分拣出足够的可回收垃圾（这部分垃圾是不需要焚烧的）从而把需要焚烧的垃圾量减少到去年的一半。

我选e。因为如果今年的垃圾是去年的2倍的话，那么不可能焚烧的垃圾灰是去年的一半。

opeman

我选Ｄ　其实ＤＥ都不好选　很搞

Ｅ有一个问题　因为题目说该政策会分出足够多的垃圾去做回收　以使ＡＳＨ减少为去年的一半　所以即使今年垃圾量增加（Ｅ）　只要他们增加可回收的垃圾　他们就可以使ＡＳＨ的量减少到去年的一半

然而　如果Ｄ选项为真　即使再多的垃圾被回收　如果ＡＳＨ产生的数量远超过去年的　那么回收再多也无法预期今年的总产生量是否会大于去年的一半　所以政策会失败

请大家继续讨论

绝对的D,这是个假设题。3，4楼已经说的很清楚了。请对D,E各自取非。

对E: The total quantity of refuse collected by Shelbyville city services this year will be greater than that collected last year.

无关。既使增加100倍，也只焚烧去年的一半的trackload。

但是如果每tracklaod增加一倍，........

这里我补充一点。真的E是ETS常用的一个诡计。扎一看，特别象。假设的验证一定要取非，。

tulipmontreal

我选D

E 不对 因为那个垃圾PROGRAM的影响 收集的垃圾(包含不用焚烧的垃圾)可以很多 但要保证PORGRAM的执行需要保证产生的灰不超过去年.
