Ethanol, a fuel derived from corn, can be used alone to power cars or
along with gasoline to reduce the amount of gas consumed. Unlike
gasoline, ethanol is easily renewable since it is primarily converted
from the sun's energy. Moreover, compared with conventional
gasoline, pure ethanol is a cleaner-burning fuel. To save energy and
reduce pollution, many individuals advocate the increased usage of
ethanol as a primary fuel source in conjunction with or in place of
gasoline.
In evaluating the recommendation to increase the use of ethanol, it
would be important to research all of the following EXCEPT:
(A) Whether the energy required to grow and process corn used as fuel is
greater than the amount of energy ultimately produced
(B) Whether more energy is saved when using ethanol in conjunction with
or in place of gasoline
(C) Whether ethanol is as efficient a fuel as gasoline
(D) Whether it is possible to produce more ethanol than is currently
produced
(E) Whether the process of growing corn for fuel would result in as much
pollution as does the production of conventional gasoline
为什么答案中两个面是说单用还是混用Ethanol会节省能源,而不是说更节省或者更耗费?并且,如果是考虑更节省或者耗费的话,也符合原文中“To save energy and reduce pollution, many individuals advocate the increased usage of ethanol as a primary fuel source in conjunction with or in place of gasoline.” 那些人说的本来就是单用与混用啊 不解
这题好像前几天有人问过,难道就是这个同一个帖子么。这题选B我认为是这个观点在文中已经讨论过的一个implicit premise thus do not need further fathom;这个题目比较怪的,另外四个选项其实全都要用到realworld knowledge,感觉这种类型的题目不像ETS的风格。Manhattan题目就是这样的,很难,难但是让你没话说,但是剑走偏锋,magoosh对Manhattan的V题目的评价很低。
