離2021考研還有140多天時間，***老師的每日一句一直陪伴著大家，下面一起來看下2021考研***每日一句:第173句。

今天的句子：

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.

思考題：

According to those who support mergers, railway monopoly is unlikely because ________.

[A] cost reduction is based on competition

[B] services call for cross-trade coordination

[C] outside competitors will continue to exist

[D] shippers will have the railway by the throat

詞匯突破：

have somebody by the thoat : 卡住某人的脖子

allow for 帶來

cross-trade coordination 跨行業的協調

substantial 相當大的

今天題目的解析：

1.Supporters of the new super systems argue that these mergers will allow for substantial cost reductions and better coordinated service.

新的超級系統的支持者認為這些合并將會帶來(allow for)大幅的費用降低和更好的協調服務

2.Any threat of monopoly, they argue, is removed by fierce competition from

trucks.

他們認為任何由壟斷所帶來的威脅都被來自卡車的競爭給消除了。

3.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.

但是很多貨主卻抱怨道對于需要長途運輸的大宗商品，比如煤炭，化學品和糧食;有卡車運輸就太貴了。這樣一來鐵路就卡住了他們的脖子。(這里是個比喻，表示這些貨主受制于鐵路行業)

According to those who support mergers, railway monopoly is unlikely because ________.

那些支持合并的人認為，鐵路行業的壟斷是不可能的，因為_______.

精確定位只能到第二句!第一句雖然也是支持合并的人的觀點，但是沒有談到壟斷啊!所以

[A] cost reduction is based on competition

(費用的降低是基于競爭的)

[B] services call for cross-trade coordination

(服務需要跨行業的協調)

A和B我真的不會選!

對D選項我更是要呵呵了!

[D] shippers will have the railway by the throat

(貨主將會卡住鐵路的脖子)

且不說誰卡誰的脖子，定位就錯了啊!

問的是支持者的觀點，第三句是貨主的觀點!

我肯定不會選!

但是我也知道大家在考場上還做不到第一步就能排除ABD，

那我就只希望你們在最后選擇的時候問一問自己：我有沒有精確定位!我有沒有尊重題干!

[C] outside competitors will continue to exist

直接對應第二句：competition from trucks= outside competitors

來積累個替換句吧：

原文：Any threat of monopoly, they argue, is removed by fierce competition from trucks.

選項：According to those who support mergers, railway monopoly is unlikely because outside competitors will continue to exist.
