弱问OG11紫皮的RC-55

qianrene

55． 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 I if true 1 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 yean
(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．
(E) Many religions have important holidays in the spring and fall，seasons with the lowest death rates for elderly people．

一．有一个词的理解问题：

乍一看划线部分(我划的),怎么好象觉得immediately是死得快的意思？修饰die

但是我第一次读文章理解immediately是刚好，没多久，修饰时间after,before,during

二．觉得Ｅ也有点对（如果老人有强烈的求生欲望，在节日期间的死亡率就低些）

不知道大家是怎么排除Ｅ选项的啊？

嗯,我今天才看了这道题,有这样的体会:

我觉得题目主要是在强调the "will" prolong the life ,而will是体现在过religious holiday上

撑过,为了过一个假期撑一个季节太长，是这样理解Ｅ不对的吗？感觉这题只能意会，不能言传啊

我自己的理解是:

题目的scope是限定在了过 important religious holiday,而且at least for short periods of time这句我觉得也暗示了是在谈religious holiday这个问题

而且,E还有个错误是,题目都说的是信仰宗教的老人,E提到的是广泛概念的老人

个人意见,不一定对哈,参考下吧

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

E说的是许多重要宗教日集中在春秋---死亡低发季节。所以死亡原因归结为和季节有关，而非和宗教。

LZ的题目应该改为CR-55
