19. Black Americans are, on the whole, about twice as likely as White Americans to develop high blood pressure. This likelihood also holds for westernized Black Africans when compared to White Africans.
Researchers have hypothesized that this predisposition in westernized Blacks may reflect an interaction between western high-salt diets and genes that adapted to an environmental scarcity of salt.
Which of the following statements about present-day, westernized Black Africans, if true, would most tend to confirm the researchers’ hypothesis?
(A) The blood pressures of those descended from peoples situated throughout their history in Senegal and Gambia, where salt was always available, are low.
(B) The unusually high salt consumption in certain areas of Africa represents a serious health problem.
(C) Because of their blood pressure levels, most White Africans have markedly decreased their salt consumption.
(D) Blood pressures are low among the Yoruba, who, throughout their history, have been situated far inland from sources of sea salt and far south of Saharan salt mines.(A)
(E) No significant differences in salt metabolism have been found between those people who have had salt available throughout their history and those who have not.
这题以前有讨论过,可是我对A还是有些疑惑。
westernized black因为western high-salt diets 和genes that adapted to an environmental scarcity of salt而high blood.
A中说的Senegal and Gambia, where salt was always available(是有盐的地方),这意味结合western high-salt diets就能推出LOW BLOOD吗?
20. The following proposal to amend the bylaws of an organization was circulated to its members for comment.
When more than one nominee is to be named for an office, prospective nominees must consent to nomination and before giving such consent must be told who the other nominees will be.
Which of the following comments concerning the logic of the proposal is accurate if it cannot be known who the actual nominees are until prospective nominees have given their consent to be nominated?
(A) The proposal would make it possible for each of several nominees for an office to be aware of who all of the other nominees are.
(B) The proposal would widen the choice available to those choosing among the nominees.
(C) If there are several prospective nominees, the proposal would deny the last nominee equal treatment with the first.
(D) The proposal would enable a prospective nominee to withdraw from competition with a specific person without making that withdrawal known.(E)
(E) If there is more than one prospective nominee, the proposal would make it impossible for anyone to become a nominee.
以前帖子解释为
题目说在候选人同意自己被题名之前,他必须知道其他被题名的人
题干说 候选人在同意自己被题名之后,才可以知道其他被题名的人
所以结果是:如果候选人超过一个,没有人被题名
可我还是不怎么明白啊!
