同意36楼，可能是印刷错误：A中content 应该改为context---上下文

大牛查理

选E: 大家注意，涂黄部分如果替换为minor part, " Delta products, Inc., has recently switch at least partly from older technologies using fossil fuels to new technologies powered by electricity" ,这句话的感觉就是加强的反面－－削弱了。

ETS的每个字看来都是“用心良苦”啊！

B1就是陈述一个事实，要说它是背景（context）也没错，但是这样说来B2同样也是背景……

所以我觉得把问题归结于content和context的区别是行不通的

这道题到底是A还是E阿。。。nn们给个准吧。。

今天做到这题……AE好像都有理。。。

支持A,E中的bold 1是support不对，bold1仅仅是一个实际plan的陈述，没有support的作用。就像很多人喜欢吃肉能不能support肉食很有营养的食物？

支持A

觉得这段话就是由bf1阐述的这个事实中引出的一个问题的讨论，所以bf1不是support的作用而是引子一样的东西

凑一下热闹,

我支持A

理由: 如果事实是对结论的支持,那么无论结论是什么, BF1都是支持. 接下来的推理就是: BF1既是对肯定答案的支持,也是对否定的支持. 这可能不会是ETS出题的初衷.

所以,事实应该是中性的.

但是,大家还是忘了这题为好,因为的确有输入错误的可能.不过楼上各位的精彩推理,极大的体现了辩性思维,佩服!

答案E，偶当时错选A。看完反思，觉得死得其所，是共军太狡猾！BF1确认DELTA个别性——采用新技术，BF2确认普遍性——新技术比旧的省油；而结论在中间：Delta’s operation now causes less fossil fuel to be consumed than it did formerly.

aph7, today I have done this question. I agree A :

BF1 is the phenomena and topic which the debate is based on ,so it is impossible to support any of the sides. Suppose that the conclusion is opposite ,Can u say BF1 supports it.No way.

There is no matter with 普遍性 adn 个别性.

以下是引用似水年华在2004-12-9 15:33:00的发言：

the content of the conclusion of the argument is :for a given level of output, Delta's operation now causes less fossil fuel to be consumed than it did formerly, the first is not the content of the conclusion, so A is wrong.

I don't think E is perfect, either, but I can't find anything better.
