2.A group of scientists studying calcium metabolism in lab rats discovered that removing the rats' having substantially lowr than normal levels of calcium in their blood. This discovery led the scientists to hypothesize that the level of the function of the parathyroid glad is to regulate the level of calcium in the blood by raising that level when if falls below the normal range. In a further experiment, the scientsts removed not only the prathyroid glad but also the adreanal gland from rats. They made the surprising discovery that the level of calcium in the rats' blood decreased much less sharply than when the parathyroid gland alone was removed.
Which one of the following if true explains the surprising discovery in a way most consistent with the scientists' hypothesis?
A. The adrenal gland acts to lower the level of calcium in the blood.
B. The adrenal gland and the parathyroid gland play the same role in regulating calcium blood levels.
C. The absence of a parathyroid gland causes the adrenal gland to increase the level of calcium in the blood.
D. E are irrelatived choices.
ANSWER IS A. B 有什么不对呢? 如果ADRENAL GLAND 的作用与PARATHYROID 的不一样, 原文不就被削弱了么?
