很难理解T-3-Q13.

The traditional treatment of strep infections has been a seven-day course of antibiotics, either penicillin or erythromycin. However, since many patients stop taking those drugs within three days, reinfection is common in cases where these drugs are prescribed. A new antibiotic requires only a three-day course of treatment. Therefore, reinfection will probably be less common in cases where the new antibiotic is prescribed than in cases where either penicillin or erythromycin is prescribed.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

A.      Some of people who are allergic to penicillin are likely to be allergic to the new antibiotic.

B.       A course of treatment with the new antibiotic costs about the same as a course of treatment with either penicillin or erythromycin.

C.      The new antibiotic has been shown to be effective in eradicating bacterial infections other than strep.

D.      Some physicians have already begun to prescribe the new antibiotic instead of penicillin or erythromycin for the treatment of some strep infections

E.       Regardless of whether they take a traditional antibiotic or the new one, most patients feel fully recovered after taking the drug for three days.

我选了B,但是是E

我觉得,开新的处方的价钱跟旧的处方的价钱一样,而更好, 那为什么不是B呢

E的话, 感觉有点无关...

还有第2题

T-3-Q24.
                

Each year red-winged blackbirds stop in a certain region of Midland
                Province on their spring and fall migration. In the fall, they eat a significant portion of the province’s sunflower crop. This year Midland farmers sought permits to set out small amounts of poisoned rice during the blackbirds’ spring stop in order to reduce the fall blackbird population. Some residents voiced concern that the rice could threaten certain species of rare migratory birds. Nevertheless, the wildlife agency approved the permits.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to justify the wildlife agency’s approval of the permits, given the concern voiced by some residents?

A.      In the region where the red-winged blackbirds stop, they are the first birds to be present in the spring.

B.       The poison that farmers want to use does not kill birds but rather make them incapable of producing viable eggs.

C.      Since rice is not raised in midland province, few species of birds native to the province normally eat rice.

D.      Without the permit, any farmers shown to have set out poison for the blackbirds would be heavily fined

E.       The poison that farmers got approval to use has no taste or smell that would make it detectable by birds.

我选的是B, 减少了鸟蛋,不就是减少了鸟数量了?

A的话,虽然是说RED鸟是第一批飞来这个地方的,难道就不能选B,减少鸟蛋吗? 我觉得B也可能行啊...

第一题的话B才是无关的，因为文中的中心概念是三天，而不是价格，我觉得楼主要是认为E无关的话那么真的是有点问题了。

第二题的话 一些居民认为投毒会使得其他鸟数量也下降，但是野生动物机构还是批准了（说明他们认为毒米不会伤害到其他鸟类）

B的话减少了鸟蛋,别的鸟数量还是会下降

我觉得楼主对文中中心概念和考点的把握小有问题

他的argument结论是：

Therefore, reinfection will probably be less common in cases where the new antibiotic is prescribed than in cases where either penicillin or erythromycin is prescribed.

加强：

(B)药价无关选项

(E)属于Lawyer讲的属于“因果结论中D显示因果关系结论关系的资料是准确的”。所以e对。
