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?
A. In Siduria the rate of fuel consumption is rising no more quickly than the rate of fuel production. B. Domestic production of natural gas is rising faster than is domestic production of oil in Siduria. C. No fuel other than natural gas is expected to be used as a replacement for oil in Siduria. D. Buildings cannot be heated by solar energy rather than by oil or natural gas. E. All new homes that are being built will have natural-gas-burning heating systems. A -- fule 是指natrual gas 和 oil。如果A取非,燃料总消耗增长量快于燃料总生产量,那么不管是natrual gas 还是oil 都需要进口。 B 2种能源产量多少不能决定进出口 还要考虑consumption. C -- 取非。就说会有另外一种类型的fule可以替代oil,这样就会减少哪个国家的燃料压力。所以只会加强原命题。 D. 取非 building更可以被太阳能加热相对于Oil Gas. 所以不需要那么多Gas, 能源需要量少 不需要进口 加强 E.取非 所有新建building都没有oilsystem 就更需要石油 更要进口. 加强 而且新建builiding本身范围太小 不能作为判断标准。  |
