OG 12-CR 67

Several industries have recently switched at least partly from older technologies powered by fossil fuels to new technologies powered by electricity. It is thus evident that less fossil fuel is being used as a result of the operations of these industries than would have been used if these industries had retained their older technologies.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the  argument above?
(A) Many of the industries that have switched at least partly to the new technologies have increased their output.
(B) Less fossil fuel was used to manufacture the machinery employed in the new technologies than was originally used to manufacture the machinery employed in the older technologies.
(C) More electricity is used by those industries that have switched at least partly to the new technologies than by those industries that have not switched.
(D) Some of the industries that have switched at least partly to the new technologies still use primarily technologies that are powered by fossil fuels.
(E) The amount of fossil fuel used to generate the electricity needed to power the new technologies is less than the amount that would have been used to power the older technologies

答案选E完全没有问题,我当时自己选的是E,不过后来分析选项的时候,
发现(B)也可以起到削弱作用啊,使用新技术生产使用的fossile fuel比使用老技术使用的少,
而答案的解释:it does not matter how much fossil fuel was used to manufacture the older techonoogies originally. That has no bearing on whether more fossil fuel would have been expended as a result of the continued operation of the industries if the partial switch to newer techonologies had not occurred.
不懂!
求NN解释,OG答案是什么意思以及为什么B不起削弱作用!
谢谢大家帮帮忙!

楼主可能看走眼了。。。。b说的是生产机器啊。。。。

哦!
意思是,原文没有提到技术的作用是produce machinery,但是B选项把技术缩小到produce machinery,无关,是么?

原文:(工厂)如果运用新的技术,则less fossil fuel.

B: manufacture the machinery employed in the new technologies
生产(新技术下要用的/老技术)机器所用的fossil fuel :不管fuel是多了还是少了跟工厂都无关,它不用自给自足.就像织布厂不用自己生产织布机吧.那生产织布机能不能节约资源就与织布厂无关.

懂了,谢谢!

这题不是加强题吗?为什么楼主讨论削弱?还有,E答案要怎么理解它strengthen the argument?

B的意思是:制造出新技术使用的机器,比制造老技术使用的机器用油少。
所以,这个选项跟问题——新技术是否比老技术更省油无关。

我同意楼上的。所以说,厂A生产new tec machinery, 厂B 废除旧tec,改用new tec。厂A生产new tec machinery用多少Fossil fuel 与厂B 是否用less fossil fuel 无关。
