以下是引用thinkpad在2003-7-17 14:42:00的发言:1. Despite the approach of winter, oil price to industrial cutomers are exceptionally low this year and likely to remain so. Therefore, unless the winter is especialy severe, the price of natural gas to industrial customers is also likely to remain low.
Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the conclusion above?
a) Long-term weather forecasts predict a mild winter.
b) The industrial users who consume most natural gas can quickly and cheaply switch to using oil instead.
c) The largest sources of supply for both oil and natural gas are in subtropical regions unlikely to be affected by winter weather.
d) The fuel requirements of industrial users of natural gas are not seriously affected by the weather.
e) Oil distribution is more likely to be affected by severe winter weather than is the distribution of natural gas.
问题:这道题我选了e, 和新东方给的答案不同。请大家指正我的错误。为了不干扰大家的思路,我先不说新东方的答案。
2. Caterpillars of all species produce an identical hormone called 'juvenile hormone' that maintains feeding behavior. Only when a caterpillar has grown to the right size for pupation to take place does a special enzyme halt the production of juvenile hormone. This enzyme can be synthesized and will on being ingested by immatune caterpillars, kill them by stopping them from feeding.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the view that it would not be advisable to try to eradicate agricultral pests that go through a caterpillar state by spraying croplands with the enzyme mentioned above?
a) Most species of caterpillar are subject to some natural predation.
b) Many agricultural pests do not go through a caterpillar state.
c) Many agriculturally beneficial insects go through a caterpillar state.
d) Since caterpillars of different species emerge at different times, several sprayings would be necessary.
e) Although the enzyme has been synthesized in the laboratory, no large-scale production facilites exist as yet.
我想选e,同样和新东方答案不同,请大家说说我这道题又是哪里想的不对?
