1. A researcher discovered that people who have low levels of immune-system activity tend to score much lower on tests of mental health than do people with normal or high immune-system activity. The researcher concluded from this experiment that the immune system protects against mental illness as well as against physical disease. The researcher’s conclusion depends on which of the following assumptions? C. People with high immune-system activity cannot develop mental illness. D. Mental illness does not cause people’s immune-system activity to decrease. 答案选D。我选了C。 题目是说的结论immune system可以保护人不得mental 和physical的病, 所以我觉得免疫力活动旺盛的人不得病时理所当然的事情。D说得了病不会导致免疫活动力下降,不知道这个和题目有什么关系呢?
2. Two decades after the Emerald River Dam was built, none of the 8 fish species native to the Emerald River was still reproducing adequately in the river below the dam. Since the dam reduced the annual range of water temperature in the river below the dam from 50 degrees to 6 degrees, scientists have hypothesized that sharply rising water temperatures must be involved in signaling the native species to begin the reproductive cycle.
Which of the following statements, if true, would most strengthen the scientist’s hypothesis? A. The native fish species were still able to reproduce only in side streams of the river below the dam where the annual temperature range remains approximately 50 degrees. 这题答案就选A,我是蒙的,我不太理解原题的最后一句话,到底是说水温大幅升高是鱼类开始繁殖的信号,还是说水温升高是鱼类无法开始足量繁殖的罪魁?
就这两道,求助各位NN了,谢谢~~抱拳 |
