唉，实在找不到啊！

11. An electric-power company gained greater profits and provided electricity to consumers at lower rates per unit of electricity by building larger-capacity more efficient plants and by stimulating greater use of electricity within its area. To continue these financial trends, the company planned to replace an old plant by a plant with triple the capacity of its largest plant.

The company’s plan as described above assumed each of the following EXCEPT:

(A) Demand for electricity within the company’s area of service would increase in the future.

(B) Expenses would not rise beyond the level that could be compensated for by efficiency or volume of operation, or both.

(C) The planned plant would be sufficiently reliable in service to contribute a net financial benefit to the company as a whole.

(D) Safety measures to be instituted for the new plant would be the same as those for the plant it would replace.（D）

(E) The tripling of capacity would not result in insuperable technological obstacles to efficiency.

我怎么觉得这些都是assumption啊？

我当时也觉的没有选项选,但是相比较而言,D最无关.因为Safety measures并不是

公司考虑要不要建的原因, 考虑该不该建的话,只应该考虑利润的问题. 而且,既然这

个安全措施如D所说是和以前的一样的话,那么就更不应该作为一个考虑原因了.

不知道我这样说清楚没有

支持楼主

此外除了D以外其他都是客观因素即不以该电厂意志为转移的或者要改变需要很大代

价的。而且CAPACITY都TRIPLE了还用一样的安全措施好象有点说不过去呀！

safety measures我觉得相关啊

请nn解答

我觉得是不是可以这么想:

题目中提出的是To ensure the financial trend... 关键在于trend上面. ABCE都是和新工厂的长期运营有关的,唯独D,safety measures应当是建厂初期的一次投入,就是redundancy cost, 和以后的financial trend 是无关的.所以选D.

请教, 谢谢!

可是我觉得一般cr题目不会在这方面绕吧 这样的话...

如果深究起来，safety measures 也能说就是一次投入啊

... thx！
