200.Damaged nerves in the spinal cord do not regenerate themselves naturally, nor even under the spur of nerve-growth stimulants. The reason, recently discovered, is the presence of nerve-growth inhibitors in the spinal cord. Antibodies that deactivate those inhibitors have now been developed. Clearly, then, nerve repair will be a standard medical procedure in the foreseeable future.
Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubt on the accuracy of the prediction above?
(A) Prevention of the regeneration of damaged nerves is merely a by-product of the main function in the human body of the substances inhibiting nerve growth. (B) Certain nerve-growth stimulants have similar chemical structures to those of the antibodies against nerve-growth inhibitors. (C) Nerves in the brain are similar to nerves in the spinal cord in their inability to regenerate themselves naturally. (D) Researchers have been able to stimulate the growth of nerves not located in the spinal cord by using only nerve-growth stimulants. (E) Deactivating the substances inhibiting nerve growth for an extended period would require a steady supply of antibodies.
答案是 A。不明白: Deactivate 了the inhibitors,那inhibitors 的 by-product也就被抑制住了啊。怎么是削弱呢?
262.Instead of blaming an airline accident on pilot error, investigators should find out why the error was made by analyzing airplane design, airline management, and pilot-training programs. For only then can changes be made to ensure that the same type of error does not recur and cause another accident. Which of the following is a presupposition of the argument above?
(A) Pilot error is not a contributing factor in most airline accidents. (B) Airline companies themselves should be the agents who investigate airline accidents. (C) Stricter government regulation of airline companies will make air travel significant safer. (D) Investigators of airline accidents should contribute to the prevention of future accidents. (E) Most pilots who make errors in flying will repeat their errors unless they are retrained.
答案是D, 我选了 A。感觉D象是废话,多说掉的。
