One summer, floods covered low-lying garlic fields situated in a region with a large mosquito population. Since mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, flooded fields would normally attract mosquitoes, yet no mosquitoes were found in the fields. Diallyl sulfide, a major component of garlic, is known to repel several species of insects, including mosquitoes, so it is likely that diallyl sulfide from the garlic repelled the mosquitoes.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
(A) Diallyl sulfide is also found in onions but at concentrations lower than in garlic.
(B) The mosquito population of the region as a whole was significantly smaller during the year in which the flooding took place than it had been in previous years.
(C) By the end of the summer, most of the garlic plants in the flooded fields had been killed by waterborne fungi.
(D) Many insect species not repelled by diallyl sulfide were found in the flooded garlic fields throughout the summer.
(E) Mosquitoes are known to be susceptible to toxins in plants other than garlic, such as marigolds.
题目意思大概是
前提:洪水覆盖大蒜田地;蚊子按理应该在水里产卵,就应该很多,但没地里没发现蚊子;大蒜里的diallyl sulfide能驱赶包括蚊子在内的昆虫;
结论:是这个diallyl sulfide驱赶了蚊子
答案是D,意思是大蒜地里其他昆虫都有,就是没蚊子,所以是增强。
我的疑问是:1.原文第一句话就是:low-lying garlic fields situated in a region with a large mosquito population,这不说明有有这个蒜的地方,也有蚊子么?当然,我知道不应该质疑前提,但是理解起来,有点绕不出来。是否应该理解为:这个地区有很多蚊子,这个地区有地里种大蒜,是两码事?
2.原文里也写了这个diallyl sulfide is known to repel several species of insects, including mosquitoes,所以这个东西驱赶蚊子不是顺理成章的事么?为什么还要证明?好些逻辑题我都觉得是顺理成章,结果最后问增强。。。
3.对于答案D的排除他因的方式,我觉得题目重点在于强调DS这个东西的作用,但答案的意思感觉是强调DS对其他虫子没用,这个强调的点不一致啊?虽然其他选项相比之下更不靠谱。
可能想法有点钻牛角尖,是否能有人能帮忙纠正一下我的思路,回到正轨上来。谢谢先~~~~ |
