.A recent poll found that over 80 percent of the residents of Nalmed Province favored a massive expansion of the commuter rail system as a means of significantly easing congestion on the province’s highways and were willing to help pay for the expansion through an increase in their taxes. Nevertheless, the poll results indicate that expansion of the rail system, if successfully completed, would be unlikely to achieve its goal of easing congestion, because       .
         A.    most of people in favor of expanding the rail system reported less congestion during their highway commute as the primary benefit they would experience.
         B.    of the less than 20 percent of residents not counted as favoring the expansion, about half claimed to have no opinion one way or the other.
        C.    the twice-daily periods of peak congestion caused by people commuting in cars have grown from about an hour each to almost two and a half hours each in the past 20 years.
        D.    expanding the commuter rail system will require the construction of dozens of miles of new railroads.
        E.    the proposed expansion to the commuter rail system will make it possible for some people who both live and work at suburban locations to commute by rail.


答案是A。我不理解啊。我选的E。虽然我知道E里面有个“some”不好 但是比起A来还是make sense的吧

这个题我也是不是很明白，我只能是根据答案，推测解释。
它题目的意思是大多数人希望通过修建铁路系统来缓解道路压力，并且表示愿意出钱。为什么人们认为修建铁路可以缓解阻塞，因为乘客分流了，一部分人去坐火车了，开汽车的自然少了。但是调查却说修建铁路并不能缓解压力，因为什么？我认为就是开汽车的人没有减少，虽然火车是分流了一部分乘客，但是由于大多数的市民花了钱就想要体验上下班不堵的感觉，反而造成了开车人数的增加，使得道路状况没有缓解。
至于E，我觉得最多只是解释分流的作用，不是支持就是无关，没有说明为什么开车的人没减少。

谢谢 谢谢

其实很简单, 虽然80%的人希望扩张建铁路, 愿意增加自己的赋税支持这个项目,但他们这些人并不会自己乘城际火车上班,毕竟开车自由度,时间都相对方便的多.所以将会造成铁路修了,没人乘的局面,所以会失败.

E选项铁路的扩张对于上下班在城际间乘火车可能性本身是没错，但和前面unlikely to achieve goal是没有什么关系的，相反还是有可能“achieve goal", 所以自然不能选。

做逻辑题目，尽量从题目出发理解，而不是看着选项生扣。

仅仅根据题目猜测：投赞成票的人自己本来就不受影响，所以投票没意义。

然后看答案，恰好A就是这个意思， 后面几个选项就随便浏览了一下。

看了一些牛牛们的帖子后，自己得出的感想~

文章目的：ease congestion On the highway。
A.    most of people in favor of expanding the rail system reported less congestion during their highway commute as the primary benefit they would experience.
注意during their highway commute as the primary benefit they would experience. 大概解释：作为他们能得到的主要好处在高速路上的时候。   也就是说这些人本来就不想走railway，所以就算railway建好了，他们也是不走的，只是希望railway的建造能减少一些人跟他们挤highway，所以ease congestion on highway的目的不能达到。

B.    of the less than 20 percent of residents not counted as favoring the expansion, about half claimed to have no opinion one way or the other.   无关其他人是否有意见
C.    the twice-daily periods of peak congestion caused by people commuting in cars have grown from about an hour each to almost two and a half hours each in the past 20 years.   无关过去20年讨论将来。
D.    expanding the commuter rail system will require the construction of dozens of miles of new railroads.  造这个system会要求新路的建造。也与题干没有关系。看成congestion~~桑心~~
E.    the proposed expansion to the commuter rail system will make it possible for some people who both live and work at suburban locations to commute by rail.  无关受益人群
