新GRE小短文阅读练习题三十六
. Which of the following most logically completes the argument?Alivia's government has approved funds for an electriciy-generation
project based on the construction of a pipeline that will carry water from
Lake Cylus, in the mountains, to the much smaller Lake Tifele, in a nearby
valley.The amount of electricty generated will be insufficient by itself to
justify the project's cost, even if the price of imported oil---Alivia's pri-
mary source of electricty---increases sharply.Nonetheless, the pipeline
project is worth its cost, because
Athe price of oil, once subject to frequent sharp increases, has fallen
significantly and is now fairly stable
B the project could restore Lake Tifele, which is currently at risk of
drying up and thus of being lost as a source of recreation income
for Alivia
C the government of Alivia is currently on excellent terms with the gov-
ernments of most of the countries from which it purchases oil
D it would cost less to generate electriciy by moving water from Lake
Cylus to Lake Tifele than to do so by moving water from Lake Cylus
to another valley lake
E Alivian officials do not expect that the amount of electricty used in
Alivia will increase substantially within the next ten years
