【OG20-P584-684题】

Petrochemical industry officials have said that the extreme pressure exerted on plant managers during the last five years to improve profits by cutting costs has done nothing to impair the industry's ability to operate safely. However, environmentalists contend that the recent rash of serious oil spills and accidents at petrochemical plants is traceable to cost-cutting measures.

Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest support for the position held by industry officials?

A

The petrochemical industry benefits if accidents do not occur, since accidents involve risk of employee injury as well as loss of equipment and product.
分析A选项
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

B

Petrochemical industry unions recently demanded that additional money be spent on safety and environmental protection measures, but the unions readily abandoned those demands in exchange for job security.
分析B选项
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

C

Despite major cutbacks in most other areas of operation, the petrochemical industry has devoted more of its resources to environmental and safety measures in the last five years than inthe preceding five years.
分析C选项
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

D

There is evidence that the most damaging of the recent oil spills would have been prevented had cost-cutting measures not been instituted.
分析D选项
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

E

Both the large fines and the adverse publicity generated by the most recent oil spill have prompted the petrochemical industry to increase the resources devoted to oil-spill prevention.
分析E选项
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

题型：provide the strongest support for... 加强题 

加强的内容：the position held by industry officials（industry officials的观点）或者从另一角度来看是削弱题，他因削弱了environmentalists的观点

方法：搭桥加强 或 排他加强

逻辑链：cost-cutting measures（plant）-  operate safely


A. The petrochemical industry benefits if accidents do not occur. 如果不发生事故，石油化工厂会获益。这是探讨事故对获利的影响，而我们是在探讨cost-cutting measures对事故和安全问题有没有影响，无关。

B. 核心部分：but the unions readily abandoned those demands in exchange for job security 为了保障工作job security，保住饭碗，放弃对安全措施和环保措施方面加大资金投入。就是说工厂为了cut cost减低成本而牺牲了安全，削弱结论，方向反了。

C. 近五年和过去五年相比，尽管工厂cut了most other areas of operation其他领域的开支，但是在环保和安全措施上反而投入了更多的资源。也就是说这个cost-cutting measures削减的是除了safe安全性以外的其他一些运行成本，所以environmentalists说的这些accident根本就跟cost-cutting measures无关，他因削弱了environmentalist的结论，也感觉是搭桥，加入了major cutbacks in most other areas of operation，增强了officials的结论。

D. 虚拟语气，if cost-cutting measures had not been instituted, the most damaging of the recent oil spills would have been prevented 如果这个mesures没有建立起来的话，这些accidents就可以避免，那不就是说你这些mesures就是会导致accidents咯，不就是反驳了officials的结论，削弱，方向反了。

E. oil spill使得工厂去加大对预防石油泄漏的投入，也就是说明了之前的投入少嘛，cost-cutting measures这个cut掉了关于安全方面的投入，所以才导致accident（oil spill），所以后期才要去increase the resources devoted to oil-spill prevention，削弱officials的结论，方向反了。

请问 last five years 和 the preceding five years 有啥区别吗？不都是过去五年的意思吗？

官员观点：消减成本的pressure没有威胁工厂安全所以正确选项应该要体现成本削减与安全之间的关系 C：工厂虽然削减成本，但同时在提升安全措施——直接增强

浪逐曲奇

厂官认为，削减成本没有损害安全运营能力。环境主义者认为最近的事故就是降成本导致的。我觉得可以从两方面想，期待大家批评建议。一方面，要增强厂官，原来又有环者反驳厂官，那么就削弱环者的反驳，事故发生不是因为降成本损害了安全运营能力。另一方面，不看环者，只看厂官，能不能这样想我也不清楚，直接说并没有影响安全运营能力，安全方面没有比过去差。
