Electric utilities pay less for low-quality coal per ton delivered

than for high-quality coal. Yet more low-quality coal than high-quality coal must be burned to generate the same amount of electricity. Moreover, per ton of coal burned, low-quality coal generates more ash than does high-quality coal, and the disposal of ash is becoming more and more expensive.


The considerations above, if true, most strongly support which of the following claims?



    A. A coal-burning utility might not be assured of benefiting economically by always adhering to the policy of keeping its overall coal purchasing costs as low as possible.

    B. In those regions where the cost of disposing of coal ash is negligible, it is more expensive for coal-burning utilities to use high-quality coal than low-quality coal.

    C. Transportation costs represent a smaller proportion of the cost per delivered ton for low-quality coal than for high-quality coal.

    D. It is no less expensive to dispose of a ton of coal ash that results from the burning of high-quality coal than it is to dispose of a ton of coal ash that results from the burning of low-quality coal.

    E. In regions where coal-ash disposal is the least expensive, reserves of low-quality coal are likely to decline at a faster rate than are reserves of high-quality coal.

答案:
A
低質(zhì)煤的價
格比高質(zhì)煤低。但產(chǎn)生相同電力需要更多低質(zhì)煤。低質(zhì)煤燃燒后產(chǎn)生更多灰,處理這些灰也更貴。 結(jié)論題 A. 總用低質(zhì)煤的政策使買煤成本低可能不能保證獲利; 符合邏輯鏈,原文后半部分對此給出了充分解釋,正確 B. 在處理煤灰成本小的地方,用高價煤更貴;沒考慮產(chǎn)生電力需要更多低質(zhì)煤的因素,排 C. 談低質(zhì)煤和高質(zhì)煤的運輸成本占比的比較;原文沒提運輸成本,無關(guān)比較,排 D. 高質(zhì)煤和低質(zhì)煤燃燒后的每噸煤灰處理成本相當;原文沒提到每噸灰的處理成本,排 E. 在煤灰處理成本低的地方,低質(zhì)煤的儲存量下降更快;無根據(jù)推理,排
