[求助]大全19-10（前人没问过的弱智问题）

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—a noninvasive diagnostic procedure—can be used to identify blockages in the coronary arteries. In contrast to angiograms—the invasive procedure customarily used—MRI’s pose no risk to patients. Thus, to guarantee patient safety in the attempt to diagnose arterial blockages, MRI’s should replace angiograms in all attempts at diagnosing coronary blockages.

Which of the following, if true, would most support the recommendation above?

(A) Angiograms can be used to diagnose conditions other than blockages in arteries.

(B) MRI’s were designed primarily in order to diagnose blockages in the coronary arteries.

(C) Angiograms reveal more information about the nature of a blockage than an MRI can.

(D) An MRI is just as likely as an angiogram to identify an arterial blockage.

(E) Some patients for whom an angiogram presents no risk are unwilling to undergo an MRI.

答案是D。但A是什么意思？Angiograms根本就没有作用？

救命啊！脑子堵住了。

A说Angiograms这种方法可以用于其它一些情况，不光是动脉堵塞；

D说MRI和Angiogram这两种方法检测效果一样。

所以选D，是因为D说明MRI在不逊色与Angiogram的检测效果的情况下，更安全。所以更好的支持了结论。

other than的意思是“除了”，表示所说的不包括在内，那A的意思就是：Angiograms这种方法不能用于诊断动脉堵塞，但可以用于其它一些情况。

那A岂不是最好的support？

朗文other than：apart from a particular person or thing

The truth was known to no one other than herself.

牛津other than=except，“表示所说的不包括在内”。

besides才是“除了。。还有。。”

The truth was known to no one other than herself.

你如何理解这句的意思 "Try a search engine other than Google"

试试GOOGLE以外的别的搜索引擎（不要用GOOGLE了）。对不？

如牛津字典上的：

The restaurant is open every day except Monday.

这家饭店除星期一外，每天都营业。（星期一不营业）

The restaurant is open every day besides Monday.

这家饭店除了星期一营业，每天也都营业。（星期一营业）

other than = except

难不成我这么笨？

如果“Angiograms这种方法不能用于诊断动脉堵塞，但可以用于其它一些情况。”文中的比较完全没有意义。 In contrast to angiograms—the invasive procedure customarily used—MRI’s pose no risk to patients.

而且文中强调的是guarantee patient safety，而非不能诊断动脉堵塞 去replace。

题目里面说， (MRI)在检查 blockages in the coronary arteries比angiograms更加的安全，所以， 为了病人，该用MRI来代替angiograms。问我们，哪个是支持项 。

(A) Angiograms can be used to diagnose conditions other than Angiograms .

A说，Angiograms 除了检查blockages in the coronary arteries，还有别的功能。

(D) An MRI is just as likely as an angiogram to identify an arterial blockage.

D说，MRI 在检查blockages in the coronary arteries上跟angiogram 一样有效。

所以 ，D是对的。

A只是说了，angiogram ，丝毫没有提到或者暗示MRI ，无法构成对提换提议的支持。

请指教！
