Prep T2-37

Test2-37. (32151-!-item-!-188;#058&006653)

The use of radar detectors in commercial vehicles was banned because commercial truck and bus drivers were using these devices to drive faster than the posted speed limit without fear of arrest. Since drivers of noncommercial vehicles also use radar detectors and since speeding decreases safety for any vehicle, use of radar detectors should also be banned in noncommercial vehicles to increase safety.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument above?

(A) The average noncommercial-vehicle driver is involved in less long-distance driving than is the average commercial-vehicle driver.
(B) In many places airplanes or helicopters are used rather than radar to locate vehicles traveling faster than the posted speed limit.
(C) The ban on radar detectors in commercial vehicles has been effective in deterring them from speeding.
(D) Traffic accidents involving a truck or bus generally pose a greater threat of injury or death than do other accidents.
(E) Radar detectors are sometimes set off by devices other than the law enforcement devices that the radar detectors were built to detect.

Ans:(C)


(C)偵測雷達裝置對商業駕駛的有效不一定對非商業駕駛的有效
各位覺得呢?
我選了(E)
不過我不是很懂(E)的意思?

E選是無關選項
E選說，雷達偵測器有時會偵測到law enforcement device以外的device而大響

C選項後半段的解釋 “不一定對非商業駕駛的有效”其實是你自己的看法
在本題中的推論正是因為A現象（商業用車） 所以推論到B現象（非商業用車）
所以C選項正式延續這樣的推論
對於商業用車有用→所以對非商業用車也有用
C看似無關，其實這正是CR的考點，
所有的推論接要從題目中推出，不可以夾雜自己的看法

(E) Radar detectors are sometimes set off by devices other than the law enforcement devices that the radar detectors were built to detect.

誰可以翻譯呢? 這句話我不是頂懂.

set off 作何解釋?? 出發,動身, 使爆炸? 全都怪怪的.

set off: to make an alarm start ringing (longman)

ex: Smoke from a cigarette will not normally set off a smoke alarm

請問這題D選項錯在何處呢??

[Huang Hsin-Yi]

D是無關選項
有卡車的交通事故比較有受傷的風險

結論: 應該禁止noncommercial vehicles 裝測速器
原因:commercial vehicles裝了測速器事故發生率更高,因為他們開的更快
要支持原因
