4. Although exposure to asbestos is the primary cause of mesothelioma, a slow-developing cancer, researchers believe that infection by the SV40 virus is a contributing cause, since in the United States 60 percent of tissue samples from mesotheliomas, but none from healthy tissue, contain SV40. SV40 is a monkey virus; however, in 1960 some polio vaccine was contaminated with the virus. Researchers hypothesize that this vaccine was the source of the virus found in mesotheliomas decades later.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the researchers’ hypothesis? A. SV40 is widely used as a research tool in cancer laboratories. B. Changes in the technique of manufacturing the vaccine now prevent contamination with SV40. C. Recently discovered samples of the vaccine dating from 1960 still show traces of the virus. D. In a small percentage of cases of mesothelioma, there is no history of exposure to asbestos. E. In Finland, where the polio vaccine was never contaminated, samples from mesotheliomas do not contain SV40.
答案是E, 我选了C
6. In the past, most children who went sledding in the winter snow in Verland used wooden sleds with runners and steering bars. Ten years ago, smooth plastic sleds became popular; they go faster than wooden sleds but are harder to steer and slow. The concern that plastic sleds are more dangerous is clearly borne out by the fact that the number of children injured while sledding was much higher last winter than it was ten years ago.
Which of the following, if true in Verland, most seriously undermines the force of the evidence cited? A. A few children still use traditional wooden sleds. B. Very few children wear any kind of protective gear, such as helmets, while sledding. C. Plastic sleds can be used in a much wider variety of snow conditions than wooden sleds c D. Most sledding injuries occur when a sled collides with a tree, a rock, or, another sled. E. Because the traditional wooden sled can carry more than one rider, an accident involving a wooden sled can result in several children being injured.
答案是C,我选B

9. In the year following an eight-cent increase in the federal tax on a pack of cigarettes, sales of cigarettes fell ten percent. In contrast, in the year prior to the tax increase, sales had fallen one percent. The volume of cigarette sales is therefore strongly related to the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes.
The argument above requires which of following assumptions? A. During the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes did not increase by as much as it had during the year prior to the tax increase. B. The one percent fall in cigarette sales in the year prior to tax increase was due to a smaller tax increase. C. The pretax price of a pack of cigarettes gradually decreased throughout the year before and the year after the tax increase. D. For the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes was not eight or more cents lower than it had been the previous year. E. As the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes rises, the pretax price also rises.
