绿皮书-120

120. In 1960’s studies of rats, scientists found that crowding increases the number of attacks among the animals significantly. But in recent experiments in which rhesus monkeys were placed in crowded conditions, although there was an increase in instances of “coping” behavior – such as submissive gesture and avoidance of dominant individuals – attacks did not become any more frequent. Therefore, it is not likely that, for any species of monkey, crowding increases aggression as significantly as was seen in rats.

Which of the following if true, most strengthens the argument?

A.      All the observed forms of coping behavior can be found among rhesus monkeys living in uncrowded conditions.

B.      In the studies of rats, nondominant individuals were found to increasingly avoid domiant individuals when the animals were in crowded conditions.

C.      Rhesus monkeys respond with aggression to a wider range of stimuli than any other monkeys do.

D.     Some individual monkeys in the experiment were involved in significantly more attacks than the other monkeys were.

E.      Some of the coping behavior displayed by rhesus monkeys is similar to behavior rhesus monkeys use to bring to an end an attack that has begun.

答案是C，但是为什么E不正确？为什么是C?

顺祝大家春节快乐！万事如意！

肯定使C,原文有由R monkey推出 any species of monkey,而答案正是将这两者之间的联系说了出来,(否则,原文中的推理是有缺陷的,我们不能主观意断他们就是有这种联系,除非说明.)

逻辑题最重要的是"心无杂念",自己不能先入为主,那就不难了.

当然,不太容易,cause与我们的定式思维相左,一起努力吧!
