189.Studies have shown that elderly people who practice a religion are much more likely to die immediately after an important religious holiday period than immediately before one. Researchers have concluded that the will to live can prolong life, at least for short periods of time.

Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the researchers’ conclusion?

(A) Elderly people who practice a religion are less likely to die immediately before or during an important religious holiday than at any other time of the year.

(B) Elderly people who practice a religion appear to experience less anxiety at the prospect of dying than do other people.

(C) Some elderly people who do practice a religion live much longer than most elderly people who do not.

(D) Most elderly people who participate in religious holidays have different reasons for participating than young people do. A

(E) Many religions have important holidays in the spring and fall, seasons with the lowest death rates for elderly people.

我觉得有点奇怪, A 不就是原文从新再说一遍吗? 为什么B 不行呢?

这道题的思路是什么?

B talks about their mentality, not the fact that they still die.

B说的是有宗教信仰的老年人对死亡的态度,但是短文结论说的是意志能延长生命,显然两者没什么联系,因此排除B

原题目比较的是 before Vs. after an important religious holiday period

A是immediately before or during an important religious holiday   Vs.    any other time of the year.>>

BCDE都是无关

B：焦虑比常人少，文章是说will to live

感觉是这样

可以按an important religious holiday 分为4个时间段

holiday前，holiday中，holiday后，全年的其他时间

题干说 holiday前>holiday后

选项A说 holiday前和holiday中>holiday后和全年的其他时间

所以支持
