Although the development of new infrastructure (such
public facilities as power plants, schools, and bridges ) is
usually determined by governmental planning, sometimes
this development can be planned more flexibly and realis-
(5) tically by private investors who anticipate profit from the
collection of user fees. Such profits can contribute to the
financing of more infrastructure if demand proves great
enough, whereas the reluctance of developers to invest in
such projects can signal that additional infrastructure is not
(10)needed. During the economic boom of the 1980's, for
example, the state of Virginia authorized private developers
to build a $300 million toll road. These developers obtained
the needed right-of- way from property owners, but by 1993
they still had not raised the necessary financing. The unwill-
(15)ingness of investors to finance this project does not negate
the viability of privately financed roads; rather, it illustrates
a virtue of private financing. If a road appears unlikely to
attract enough future traffic to pay for the road, then it
should not be built.

27. The passage suggests that which of the following would occur if a privately financed bridge that proved to be profitable failed after a number of years to meet the demands of traffic
(A) Private developers who financed the bridge would rely on governmental authorities to develop new infrastructure.
(B) User fees would be increased so that usage would become more costly.
(C) Governmental authorities would be reluctant to rely on private contractors to develop a new bridge.
(D) The success of the project would be jeopardized by public dissatisfaction with the project's adequacy.
(E) Profits generated by user fees would be used to help finance the construction of new infrastructure to alleviate the traffic problem.

答案选E，但是怎么也想不明白

首先确定题干意思：该文揭示，如果一座私人融资修建、赚钱盈利的桥梁，在多年以后不再能满足交通需求，那么会发生以下哪一种情况？
选E的关键根据在这句话：
Such profits can contribute to the financing of more infrastructure if demand proves great enough
即：如果需求确实足够大，此类利润可促进更多基建融资（此类利润就是指前一句提到的私人投资者通过征收使用费所获的东西）
E选项可以说是对这一观点的具体化：征收使用费所产生的利润可用于促进新的基础设施建设融资，以缓解交通问题
