On the whole, scientists do their most creative work before age forty, a tendency that has been taken to show that aging carries with it a loss of creative capacity.  An alternative explanation is that by age forty most scientists have worked in their field for fifteen or more years and that by then they have exhausted the opportunity for creative work in that field.  Supporting this explanation is the finding that ______.相当于support 题。

A.      the average age of recipients of scientific research grants is significantly greater than forty

B.       a disproportionately large number of the scientists who produce highly creative work beyond age forty entered their field at an older age than is common

C.      many scientists temper their own expectations of what they can achieve in their research work by their belief that their creativity will decline as they age

D.      scientists who are older than forty tend to find more satisfaction in other activities, such as teaching and mentoring, than they do in pursuing their own research

E.       there is a similar diminution of creativity with age in nonscientific fields, such as poetry and musical composition

实在看不懂Ｂ是什么意思，好像跟结论是相悖的，望各位ＮＮ指点迷津。期待中。。。。。

我不是NN  不過以我理解的B

應該是說:跟一般科學家相比  有更多晚進入的科學家擁有很高的創造力

哪些科學家呢?  就是那些在40歲以前  不過比較晚進入這個領域的(這個是相對的  比如是二十歲進入的和十五歲進入的  那個二十歲進入的就是比較晚的) 

如此一來  就可以支持原文說:工作越長越沒有創造力了

因為越晚進入  工作時間就越短  因此就更有創造力

不知道這樣理解對不對...

請指教^^

ＬＳ　MM再帮我解一道题把，万分感激，

In Patton City, days are categorized as having heavy rainfall (more than two inches), moderate rainfall (more than one inch, but no more than two inches), light rainfall (at least a trace, but no more than one inch), or no rainfall.  In 1990, there were fewer days with light rainfall than in 1910 and fewer with moderate rainfall, yet total rainfall for the year was 20 percent higher in 1990 than in 1910.

If the statements above are true, then it is also possible that in Patton
            City
            

A.      the number of days with heavy rainfall was lower in 1990 than in 1910

B.       the number of days with some rainfall, but no more than two inches, was the same in 1990 as in 1910

C.      the number of days with some rainfall, but no more than two inches, was higher in 1990 than in 1910

D.      the total number of inches of rain that fell on days with moderate rainfall in 1990 was more than twice what it had been in 1910

E.       the average amount of rainfall per month was lower in 1990 than in 1910

、各位帮我看看，答案Ａ的选项是不是有问题呢，如果days with heavy rainfall was LOWER than in 1910 .怎么会得到结论说total rainfall for the year was 20 percent higher in 1990 than in 1910.

恩恩  我也覺得怪怪的

是不是題目有問題呢??

還是我太笨了  無法理解^^"

請NN解答吧...............

这道题我也选错了，不过仔细看过B之后，觉得B很有道理。

An alternative explanation is that by age forty most scientists have worked in their field for fifteen or more years and that by then they have exhausted the opportunity for creative work in that field.  Supporting this explanation is the finding that ______.

由于在一个领域年数太多，导致exhausted the opportunity for creative work ，

B说那些40岁以上的人取得创造性工作是因为它们进入这个领域比一般人晚，也就是说他们创新是因为在这个领域年数少

B很完美地补了空缺，可惜模考的时候根本来不及仔细看选项，偶阅读能力有待提高。。。
