6.? Advertisement: For sinus pain, three out of four hospitals give their patients Novex. So when you want the most effective painkiller for sinus pain, Novex is the one to choose. Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the advertisement’s argument? (A) Some competing brands of painkillers are intended to reduce other kinds of pain in addition to sinus pain. (B) Many hospitals that do not usually use Novex will do so for those patients who cannot tolerate the drug the hospitals usually use. (C) Many drug manufacturers increase sales of their products to hospitals by selling these products to the hospitals at the lowest price the manufacturers can afford. (D) Unlike some competing brands of painkillers, Novex is available from pharmacies without a doctor’s prescription. (E) In clinical trials Novex has been found more effective than competing brands of painkillers that have been on the market longer than Novex. 答案D. 文中是从医院的使用Novex来的出结论的, 可是D说得是Novex在药店有卖. 这样好像有点out of scope吧, 怎么能weaken呢?
再恶狠狠看了题目一回,问题出在对three out of four hospitals give their patients Novex的理解,我以为医院给病人药,只有医生开处方一个途径,其实也许老外不是,医院give their patients medicine可以是处方的也可以是非处方的,如果这样,就能理解了
我觉得呢,D说Novex is available from pharmacies without a doctor’s prescription.,没有医生的处方,病人不敢要这个药的,即使医院愿意给这些药,但是也没说一定有效用啊,所以呢,没处方,Novex is the one probably not to choose
