Although aspirin has been proven to eliminate moderate fever associated with some illnesses, many doctors no longer routinely recommend its use for this purpose. A moderate fever stimulates the activity of the body's disease-fighting white blood cells and also inhibits the growth of many strains of disease-causing bacteria.
If the statements above are true, which of the following conclusions is most strongly supported by them?

A Aspirin, an effective painkiller, alleviates the pain and discomfort of many illnesses.
B Aspirin can prolong a patient's illness by eliminating moderate fever helpful in fighting some diseases.
C Aspirin inhibits the growth of white blood cells, which are necessary for fighting some illnesses.
D The more white blood cells a patient's body produces, the less severe the patient's illness will be.
E The focus of modern medicine is on inhibiting the growth of disease-causing bacteria within the body.

答案B

我怎么觉得prolong是无关啊，文中没有提到啊

这是道不联系的题目,我乍一看太简单拉想都没想就选C．．．

B是：aspirin可以根除 moderate fever　associated with some illnesses,但并不可以根除所有的illnesses，因为它把可以fight diseases的 moderate fever 根除了，所以就是拖延落...

a moderate fever 有两个好处：刺激白细胞和抑制致病病菌，所以对治愈疾病有好处。而aspirin eliminate moderate fever，所以aspirin会有副作用，也就是prolong a patient's illness。

not so clear to understand! not a good question!

这道题B我能理解

但是为什么C不对呢？

Choice C ：Aspirin inhibits the growth of white blood cells, which are necessary for fighting some illnesses

 Original text: stimulates the activity of the body's disease-fighting

C偏离了原文的信息。c选项从相反的方向考虑原文。那么stimulate的反义可以是1.inhibits；2.不产生任何影响。因此，从这个角度讲，c是不充分的。 另外，c讨论的是growth of w-b cell.而题目中说的是activity.因此C选项out of scope.

原文大意：

    因为：asprin会消除适度发烧，适度发烧有利于激发白细胞，从而抵抗细菌

    所以：不要用asprin.

选项b是对该逻辑的反推：用asprin会消除适度发烧，从而降低白细胞活动能力，无法抵抗细菌，导致疾病无法痊愈。

唯一干扰选项是C，但原文只是说：适度发烧有利于激发白细胞，而不是生长白细胞。所以错误。
