仔细想了想,其实这道题不难。
有点tricky是因为它用了倒着写了。如果这样子写的:
The question has been raised whether it can be concluded that for a given level of output, Delta's operation now causes less fossil fuel to be consumed than it did formerly. The answer, clearly, is yes,
since the smount of fossil fuel used to generate the electricity needed to power the new technologies is less than the amount needed to power the older technologies, provided that the level of output is held constant.
(and since)Delta products, Inc., has recently switch at least partly from older technologies using fossil fuels to new technologies powered by electricity.
那么答案则非常明显。(E) |
