A.accounted for B.for C.grounds
A.Railroads justify rate discrimination against captive shippers on the 【T1】______that
B.another railroad is competing【T2】______the business
C.the top four railroads【T3】_______under 70 percent
In recent years, railroads have been combining with each other, merging into super systems, causing heightened concerns about monopoly.As recently as 1995,【T4】______of the total ton-miles moved by rails.Next year, after a series of mergers is completed, just four railroads will control well over 90 percent of all the freight moved by major rail carriers.
Supporters of the new super systems argue that these mergers will allow for substantial cost reductions and better coordinated service.Any threat of monopoly, they argue, is removed by fierce competition from trucks.But many shippers complain that for heavy bulk commodities traveling long distances, such as coal, chemicals, and grain, trucking is too costly and the railroads therefore have them by the throat.
The vast consolidation within the rail industry means that most shippers are served by only one rail company.Railroads typically charge such "captive" shippers 20 to 30 percentmore than they do when【T5】______.Shippers who feel they are being overcharged havethe right to appeal to the federal government’s Surface Transportation Board for rate relief, but the process is expensive, time consuming, and will work only in truly extreme cases.
【T6】______in the long run it reduces everyone’s cost.If railroads charged all customers the same average rate, they argue, shippers who have the option of switching to trucks or other forms of transportation would do so, leaving remaining customers to shoulder the cost of keeping up the line.It’s theory to which many economists subscribe, but in practice it often leaves railroads in the position of determining which companies will flourish and which will fail."Do we really want railroads to be the arbiters of who wins and who loses in the marketplace?" asks Martin Bercovici, a Washington lawyer who frequently represents shipper.
【T4】
选项
答案
C
解析
空格前一句的意思为:近年来,各个铁路公司都一直在进行合并而成为超级系统,这引起了人们对垄断的日益关注。空格后一句的意思为:明年,经过一系列的合并之后,这四条铁路将控制主要货运公司全部运输货物的90%以上。故空格所在句的意思应为:在1995年四条最大的铁路运输量不到总吨英里数的70%。所以,C项符合题意。
