59. A certain mayor has proposed a fee of five dollars perday on private vehicles entering the city, claiming that the fee will alleviatethe city's traffic congestion. The mayorreasons that, since the fee will exceed the cost of round-trip bus fare frommany nearby points, many people will switch from using their cars to using thebus.
Which of the following statements, if true, provides thebest evidence that the mayor's reasoningis flawed?
(A) Projected increases in the price of gasoline willincrease the cost of taking a private vehicle into the city.
和结论无关,张冠李戴。没有提到私家车和摆渡车的比较
(B) The cost of parking fees already makes itconsiderably more expensive for most people to take a private vehicle into thecity than to take a bus.
正确,说明并不是这个费用导致私家车成本少过摆渡车,是别的原因,错误因果
(C) Most of the people currently riding the bus do notown private vehicles.
和本来就乘坐摆渡车的人无关
(D) Many commuters opposing the mayor's plan haveindicated that they would rather endure traffic congestion than pay afive-dollar-per day fee.
反对前提,是说人们反对收钱和结论无关
(E) During the average workday, private vehicles ownedand operated by people living within the city account for twenty percent of thecity's traffic congestion.
20%是少部分,并且文章并没有将workday单独提出来。
想问下B选项的正确性,
cost of parking fee本来是个无关的插入概念,然后又说parking使vehicle费用上升,如果再加上进入费,不就更加远远高于take a bus 的费用了么?这样人们会选择bus来节约费用,于是不是支持了mayor的论点么? 个人感觉这个选项插入了新概念而且还不是一部推理就能达到结论,一般这种选项错的比较多吧,求指教B选项对错和理由,谢谢
另外,如果B是不对的,本来觉得E比较靠谱,但是那个20%成了少数…… |
