9. Brain scans of people exposed to certain neurotoxins reveal brain damage identical to that found in people suffering from Parkinson’s disease. This fact shows not only that these neurotoxins cause this type of brain damage, but also that the brain damage itself causes Parkinson’s disease. Thus brain scans can be used to determine who is likely to develop Parkinson’s disease. (B) It overestimates the importance of early diagnosis in determining appropriate treatments for people suffering from Parkinson’s disease. (C) It mistakes a correlation between the type of brain damage described and Parkinson’s disease for a causal relation between the two.
这题我又仔细看了看,收回前面的戏言。 Brain scans of people exposed to certain neurotoxins reveal brain damage identical to that found in people suffering from Parkinson’s disease. This fact shows not only that these neurotoxins cause this type of brain damage, but also that the brain damage itself causes Parkinson’s disease. Thus brain scans can be used to determine who is likely to develop Parkinson’s disease.
This fact shows not only that these neurotoxins cause this type of brain damage, but also that the brain damage itself causes Parkinson’s disease. 是对事实的陈述,逻辑是 neurotoxins导致brain damage,而brain damage导致Parkinson’s disease,因此,便是neurotoxins导致Parkinson’s disease。
题干意思是由于“Brain scans”揭示了brain damage导致Parkinson’s disease的事实,因此,就断定who is likely to develop Parkinson’s disease,这显然是很草率的。 由此,从宏观上看,B答案是说得过去的。
(B) It overestimates the importance of early diagnosis in determining appropriate treatments for people suffering from Parkinson’s disease. 反观C答案: (C) It mistakes a correlation between the type of brain damage described and Parkinson’s disease for a causal relation between the two. damage的问题,已经是作为evidence告知了,因此,考虑correlation between the type of brain damage,是多余的。
这里我纠正一下前面的解释及结论。
