原文：  Even more than mountainside slides
    

       of mud or snow, naturally occurring
forest

    

       fires promote the survival of aspen
trees.

    

Line       Aspens’ need for fire may seem illogical

    

  (5)      since aspens are particularly vulnerable

    

to fires; whereas the
bark of most trees

    

consists of dead
cells, the aspen’s bark

    

is a living,
functioning tissue that—along

    

with the rest of the
tree—succumbs quickly

     (10)      to
fire.

题目：The
author of the passage refers to “the bark of most trees” (line 6) most likely in
order to emphasize the

    

 

    

A.   vulnerability of aspens to damage from fire
when compared to other trees

    

B.   
rapidity with which trees other than aspens
succumb to destruction by fire

    

C.  
relatively great degree of difficulty with
which aspens catch on fire when compared to other trees

    

D.  
difference in appearance between the bark of
aspens and that of other trees

    

E.   
benefits of fire to the survival of various
types of trees

答案是A 但是为什么B 不可以啊？ 好像应该是跟B 连在一起的感觉。 

帮我把脑筋转下吧， 呵呵

文章中的意识是aspen succumbs quickly to fire. never mention about whether other trees succumb to fire quickly too.

so B is not right.
