TPO29第三篇閱讀 the history of waterpower
Q11 The discussion of the history of electric power production in paragraph 6
supports which of the following?
B.Turbines using Benoit Fourneyron's design were eventually used to generate
electric power.
C.Benoit Fourneyron quickly applied Michael Faraday's discovery about electric
fields to acquire a patent for a new and more efficient waterwheel.
想請問板友們哪裡可以看得出來答案B呢??
我很想選C~~~~
附上原文
The growth of the electric-power industry was the result of a remarkable series
of scientific discoveries and developments in electrotechnology during the
nineteenth century, but significant changes in what we might now call hydro(wa
ter) technology also played their part. In 1832, the year of Michael Faraday's
discovery that a changing magnetic field produces an electric field, a young
French engineer patented a new and more efficient waterwheel. His name was
Benoit Fourneyron, and his device was the first successful water turbine. (The
word turbine comes from the Latin turbo: something that spins). The waterwheel
, unaltered for nearly 2000 years, had finally been superseded.

題目
There was much debate on the relative efficiencies of different types of water
wheels.▉The prriod from about 1650 until 1800 saw some excellent scientific
and technical investigations of different designs.▉They revealed output power
s ranging from about 1 horsepower to perhaps 60 for the largest wheels and con
firmed that for maximum efficiency, the water should pass across the blades as
smoothly as possible, and fall away with minimum speed, having given up almost
all of its kinetic energy.▉(They also proved that, in priciple, the overshop
wheel, a type of wheel in which an overhead stream of water powers the wheel,
should win the efficiency competition.)▉
答案是A
請問如何判斷啊??????我總覺得沒有一個適合的
