第二题 24. (28903-!-item-!-188;#058&004064) 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,为什么不是C? -- by 会员 bdsjb116 (2010/9/22 16:13:19)
尽管exposure to asbestos 是mesothelioma 原因之一,学者认为,SV40病毒也是一个原因。因为调查发现60% 的患者 有SV病毒。1960年,polio疫苗感染了SV40病毒。所以 学者认为含有病毒的polio疫苗,是mesothelioma里面有SV40的原因。
简单点,感染SV40病毒的polio疫苗 > 导致mesothelio含有SV40 求支持 E 在芬兰,Polio疫苗没有感染SV40,那里的mesothelioma患者不含有SV 40 支持了结论 C 现在发现的1960年的polio疫苗样本里有SV40(就是原题的一个条件,不能支持或削弱结论) 觉得这种支持 一种 因果结论的题型, 选项里必然会有 这一因(polio)一果 (mesothelioma)的关键词,否则 不能说明2者关系
