Q3: TTGWD11-Q19:
In Rubaria, excellent health care is available to virtually the entire population, whereas very few people in Terland receive adequate medical care. Yet, although the death rate for most diseases is higher in Terland than in Rubaria, the percentage of the male population that dies from prostate cancer is significantly higher in Rubaria than in Terland.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the disparity between the prostate cancer death rate in Rubaria and Terland?

A.    Effective treatment of prostate cancer in its early stages generally requires medical techniques available in Rubaria but not in Terland.
B.    Most men who have prostate cancer are older than the average life expectancy for male inhabitants of Terland.
C.    Being in poor general health does not increase one’s risk of developing prostate cancer.
D.    It is possible to decrease one’s risk of getting prostate cancer by eating certain kinds of foods, and such foods are more readily available in Rubaria than in Terland.
E.    Among men in Rubaria, the death rate from prostate cancer is significantly higher for those who do not take full advantage of Rubaria’s health care system than for those who do.
答案为什么是B？文中没有提到寿命的问题，我很自然地把它当做无关选项排除了》《

Most men who have prostate cancer are older than the average life expectancy for male inhabitants of Terland.   说明得prostate cancer的人的年龄都是比较大的，而T城市的人均寿命比R城市的短，说明还没等到T城市的人活到能够得cancer的年龄，他们就已经死了，所以R城市得prostate cancer的人会比T多

当题目的类型是explain the disparity的时候，在explain的时候，很容易把explain的原因当做“无关”排除，可是恰恰就是“无关”选项就是解释的原因！
