请陆老师回答一下。这一题我错选了B。取yes,就是收入来自于commuter的是有季节性波动的。意思不就是旅游旺季,人多拥挤,commuter就会到港口来坐ferry,旅游淡季,人少,commuter就还是toll road不会来港口,支持原文;取no,就是没有季节性波动,说明无论是旅游旺季还是淡季,拥不拥挤,搭乘不搭乘ferry都不会影响commuter来不来这里吃饭,驳斥原文。 而C选项说的是港口吸不吸引tourist,但是原文argument说的是通过将commuter直接带到港口来增加收入,这和tourist有什么关系呢?感谢老师解答。

请陆老师回答一下。这一题我选了A,为什么正确答案是E。我首先判断第一句话是pre-evidence,第二句话是counter argument,第三句话的黑体字是conclusion,后半句是premise。 我觉得因为第一个黑体字是“all automobile dealers…”也是属于数据的,第二句话反驳了critics的观点。所以选了A。
