The difficulty with the proposed high-speed train line is that a used plane can be bought for one-third the price of the train line, and the plane, which is just as fast, can fly anywhere. The train would be a fixed linear system, and we live in a world that is spreading out in all directions and in which consumers choose the freewheel systems (cars, buses, aircraft), which do not have fixed routes. Thus a sufficient market for the train will not exist.

Which of the following, if true, most severely weakens the argument presented above?

正确答案: C

112. The difficulty with the proposed high-speed train line is that a used plane can be bought for one-third the price of the train line, and the plane, which is just as fast, can fly anywhere. The train would be a fixed linear system, and we live in a world that is spreading out in all directions and in which consumers choose the free-wheel systems (cars, buses, aircraft), which do not have fixed routes.Thus a sufficient market for the train will not exist.

Which of the following, if true, most severely weakens the argument presented above?

(A) Cars, buses, and planes require the efforts of drivers and pilots to guide them, whereas the train will be guided mechanically.

(B) Cars and buses are not nearly as fast as the high-speed train will be.

(C) Planes are not a free-wheel system because they can fly only between airports, which are less convenient for consumers than the high-speed train’s stations would be.

(D) The high-speed train line cannot use currently underutilized train stations in large cities.

(E) For long trips, most people prefer to fly rather than to take ground-level transportation.

这道题之前也有讨论过,但没有结果,这道题的正确答案是C。其实在选择的时候根据感觉也一下子就能选出来,但知这C是不是直接说文中premise的信息有错误呢?削弱不是不应该说premise本身的错误吗? 这里怎么回事呢?

个人这么理解的,题目中说的是the free-wheel systems (cars, buses, aircraft), which do not have fixed routes. 也就是把do not have fixed routes定位成了the free-wheel systems (主要是为了和火车相比较)。所以C中反驳的我觉得并不是前提,而是the free-wheel systems不仅仅指轨道,还有别的方面,这样就把这个定义扩大了,那这个推导人们喜欢the free-wheel systems所以铁路不存在就不成立了。
感觉说的有点乱。。。。。不知道你能理解不

谢谢你的回答,那啥脑子没转过来,题目说 the free-wheel systems (cars, buses, aircraft),c说的是 Planes are not a free-wheel system,不就和文章说的不一样了吗~我的理解是前提是1.飞机便宜而且飞得快2是 free-wheel systems四通八达 结论是火车没市场,请问哪里错了,谢谢啦

我也不太明白了,C反驳的就是虽然飞机没有轨道但是它也不是那么方便因为需要机场啥的。其实根本不用加那句 Planes are not a free-wheel system,对吧。。。

弱弱的说一句其实我就是没看懂这个帖,才发帖的,那个贴里讨论到最后就变成我们还是不纠结这个问题比较好。所以。。。。。。

The argument says the train is not as good as flight.

C said flight doesn't help either.

So C weakens the argument.

Got it?

C不是直接驳斥了你的前提2吗
