原题! Doctor: Research shows that adolescents who play video games on a regular basis are three times as likely to develop carpal tunnel syndrome (某种综合症)as are adolescents who do not play video games. Federal legislation that prohibits the sale of video games to minors would help curb this painful wrist condition among adolescents. The doctor’s conclusion depends on which of the following assumptions? A The majority of federal legislators would vote for a bill that prohibits the sale of video games to minors. B Not all adolescents who play video games on a regular basis suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome. C Playing video games is the only way an adolescent can develop carpal tunnel syndrome. D Most parents would refuse to purchase video games for their adolescent children E The regular playing of video games by adolescents does not produce such beneficial effects as better hand-eye coordination and improved reaction time. 正确答案:C
我觉得D是正确的。 首先这题是问的是Assumption。Research 说玩游戏的青少年are three times as likely to develop carpal tunnel syndrome as are adolescents who do not play video games. 于是就说如果Federal legislation 禁止了游戏的销售的话,那么Federal legislation that prohibits the sale of video games to minors would help curb this painful wrist condition among adolescents. 我觉得关键是那个minors。如果minors不能买,但是他们的家人仍然买给他们的话,那么那个legislation就没效果了,而carpal tunnel syndrome也一样不会减少。所以,只有那个minors的家长refuse to purchase video games for their adolescent children,才可以help curb this painful wrist condition among adolescents. 我个人的理解,不知道对不对哦~
