问题 From a certain farming region, trucks can carry vegetables to market in New Mexico in two days for a total cost of $ 300. A train will carry the vegetables there in four days for $200. If reducing time in transit is more important to the owner of the vegetables than is reducing the shipping bill, he or she will send the vegetables by truck. Which of the following is an assumption made in the passage above?

选项 A、Vegetables can be sold more profitably when shipped by train than by truck.
B、Other than speed and cost, there are no significant differences between truck and train transportation from the farming region to New Mexico.
C、The time required to ship vegetables by train from the farming region to New Mexico could be reduced to two days if the price for this service were raised.
D、Most owners of vegetables in the region are more concerned with shipping costs than with the time involved in shipping vegetables to market.
E、Transportation of vegetables by truck is worth at least $ 200 per day to owners of the vegetables in the farming region.

答案B

解析 本题由一个数据事实而进行推理:“若时间比费用更重要,则用卡车运输。”那么这个推理暗含的假设是:“时间和费用”是最主要的考虑因素或惟一的因素”?而选项(B)恰好表明“除了时间和费用以外没有别的原因影响选择”,即典型的“除了隐含的假设A以外没有别的因素影响B”,所以(B)正确。
