OG 67 ?

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.

答案是E,不懂B为什么不对?    还有OG上关于B的解释什么意思?   B貌似的确可以support的
B It does not matter how much fossil fuel was used to manufacture the older technologies originally.
Th at 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 technologies had not occurred.


似乎点睛之笔是“the result of the continued operation",  这又是啥意思?

文章问strengthen这个argument: 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
B说的是生产制造新旧机器的问题,而不是新旧机器在以后生产产品当中的消耗问题

题目中提到的fossil fuels power 新旧technology的问题,而B中却说道了manufacture的问题,所以解释中才出现了it does not matter这样的话吧~~楼主觉得这样解释可以吗?这题我也有点朦~~

B探讨的是生产新旧机器需要多少fossil fuel, 与以后operations要用多少fossil fuel没有关系
