标题: 大全-13-12请教OTHER THAN

12.   A researcher studying drug addicts found that, on average, they tend to manipulate other people a great deal more than nonaddicts do. The researcher concluded that people who frequently manipulate other people are likely to become addicts.


Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the researcher’s conclusion?


(A) After becoming addicted to drugs, drug addicts learn to manipulate other people as a way of obtaining drugs.


(B) When they are imprisoned, drug addicts often use their ability to manipulate other people to obtain better living conditions.


(C) Some nonaddicts manipulate other people more than some addicts do.


(D) People who are likely to become addicts exhibit unusual behavior patterns other than frequent manipulation of other people.


(E) The addicts that the researcher studied were often unsuccessful in obtaining what they wanted when they manipulated other people.


答案是A,原来就是在A和D中摇摆,我选择D应该是我没有理解好OTHER THAN的意思,D中的OTHER THAN是指除了...还有..., 而我的理解是有......除了....,究竟OTHER THAN是包括自己还是不包括自己,请教清晰的理论思路,谢谢。比较傻的问题.

是反对因果关系颠倒的典型题,A指出manipulating others是果而非因。other than应该是"不同于,除了"的意思,不论是包括还是不包括自己,D都没有指出原逻辑的错误,仅仅反对其结论,所以一定不正确。
