问题 单项选择题

为了缓解城市交通拥挤的状况,市长建议对每天进入市区的私人小汽车收取5元的费用。市长说,这个费用将超过乘公交车进出市区的车费,所以很多人都会因此不再开车上班,而改乘公交车。 以下哪项如果为真,最严重地削弱了市长的结论

A.汽油价格的大幅上涨将增加开车上下班的成本。

B.对多数自己开车进入市区的人来说,在市区内停车的费用已经远远超过了乘公交车的费用。

C.多数现在乘公交车的人没有私人汽车。

D.很多进出市区的人反对市长的计划,他们宁愿承受交通阻塞也不愿交那5元钱。

E.在一个平常工作日,住在市区内的人的私人汽车占了交通阻塞时汽车总量的20%。

答案

参考答案:B

解析: 题干中市长的建议建立在这样一个假设的基础之上,即如果在市区停车费用超过乘公交车进出市区的车费,那么很多人就会不再开车上下班,而改乘公交车。如果B项为真,则市长的这一假设就不成立,因而其结论就会被大大削弱。

As I   38  I smelt a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman close to me, he was smiling and his nice sky – blue eyes searched for   39  .

To sit in the restaurant and   40  up, they had to buy something. When the young casher at the counter asked what they wanted to order, one of them said coffee because that was all they could   41  . I smiled and asked the casher for two more breakfast meals on two   42  plates. Then I walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the plates on the table and   43   the blue – eyed little man’s cold hands with my hands. With tears in his eyes, he said. “Thank you”. I noticed that all the   44  in the restaurant were set on me at that time.

I returned to college and   45   a paper about this story as my project to the instructor. She read it and though highly of my project. Just then I realized in my own way I had   46   the people at the restaurant, my friend, the instructor, and every person that shared the classroom.
